€1,499.00

250W all-terrain electric bike with full suspension, range up to 140 km, 70 Nm torque. Wide 26×4.0-inch tyres, 180 mm hydraulic brakes, 48V 16Ah battery, Shimano 7-speed drivetrain.

Ideal for long distances, comfort on all terrains and everyday commuting.

Description

The ENGWE E26 is a 26-inch all-terrain electric bike designed to combine comfort, power and range. With its 250W motor delivering 70 Nm of torque, full suspension (front and rear) and wide 26×4.0-inch tyres, the E26 is equally at home on rough trails and urban roads.

The 48V 16Ah (768 Wh) battery offers a claimed range of 140 km on minimum assistance – ideal for long rides or demanding commutes. The 180 mm hydraulic brakes, rear luggage rack (25 kg) and choice of High-Step or Step-Thru frame complete a highly versatile package for under £1,500.


Key Features

✔ Full suspension (front/rear) for exceptional off-road comfort
✔ Record range: up to 140 km (768 Wh battery)
✔ 26×4.0-inch tyres – excellent stability and grip
✔ 180 mm hydraulic disc brakes – consistent braking power
✔ Frame available in Step-Thru (accessible) or High-Step versions
✔ Integrated 25 kg rear rack – practical for everyday use
✔ Highly competitive range-to-price ratio


Weaknesses

❌ Very heavy: 33.5 to 34.5 kg depending on version
❌ Cadence sensor (unspecified – likely no torque sensor on this version)
❌ Long charging time: 5.5 to 6 hours (no fast charging)
❌ Not foldable – bulky for storage or transport
❌ EU approval announced but caution advised regarding unregulated versions


Comparison and Positioning

Compared to the ENGWE L20 Boost (20-inch folding model), the E26 features larger wheels (26 inches) and full suspension for superior comfort on rough terrain, at the expense of compactness and weight.

Compared to a Fiido T1 Pro or Samebike 26LVXD30, the E26 stands out for its longer range (140 km vs 80–100 km) and hydraulic brakes, at a similar price.

⚠️ Certification Warning: the specifications state "250W" and "25 km/h", which corresponds to EU road certification. However, ENGWE sometimes advertises models that can be unlocked or more powerful versions. When purchasing, please check that you are ordering the 250W / 25 km/h version without a throttle if you wish to use it legally on public roads. The lack of a clear indication of the sensor type (likely cadence, not torque) also indicates "entry-level" positioning in terms of assistance.


Is This Bike for You If?

✔ you're looking for a comfortable all-terrain bike with long range (140 km)
✔ you ride on varied terrain (city, paths, gravel, forest)
✔ you need a sturdy luggage rack (25 kg) for shopping or commuting
✔ the weight (34 kg) doesn't bother you – you don't carry it often
✔ you prioritise range and durability over technology (no torque sensor)


This Bike Is NOT for You If?

❌ you're looking for a lightweight (< 25 kg) and easy-to-carry e-bike
❌ you want a torque sensor for an ultra-natural ride
❌ you need fast charging (charging time > 5 hours)
❌ you store or transport your bike in a small space (non-folding)
❌ you require official, unambiguous EU certification (opt for a major European brand with clear documentation)
