TENWAYS CGO600 Urban E-Bike – 15 kg Lightweight 250W

The TENWAYS CGO600 is the benchmark lightweight urban e-bike in the Tenways range, designed for commuters seeking maximum lightness, discretion and natural pedalling assistance without maintenance hassles. It features a Mivice M070 rear hub motor (250 W / 40 Nm), Mivice S200 torque sensor, integrated 36 V 7 Ah (252 Wh) lithium-ion battery and single-speed carbon belt drive on an aerospace-grade 6061 aluminium frame with fully hidden cabling and STVZO-compliant lighting.

Who is this bike for?

This model is particularly suited for:

• Daily city commutes on paved roads and flat cycle paths
• Riders wanting a lightweight 15 kg bike that is easy to carry upstairs or store in a hallway
• Those seeking natural and responsive assistance thanks to the Mivice S200 torque sensor
• Users who want zero transmission maintenance with the carbon belt
• Riders looking for a minimalist, clean design with hidden cabling and integrated STVZO lighting
• City riders on predominantly flat terrain

Performance and range

The CGO600 is powered by a Mivice M070 rear hub motor (250 W) delivering a maximum torque of 40 Nm. Paired with the Mivice S200 torque sensor, it provides instant response and perfectly calibrated assistance based on pedalling force, delivering a smooth and enjoyable ride — with no added resistance even when the motor is off.

• Claimed range: up to 70 km
• Maximum assisted speed: 25 km/h
• Transmission: single-speed carbon belt (zero maintenance)

Its 36 V 7 Ah (252 Wh) lithium-ion battery with Samsung/LG/Panasonic cells is integrated into the down tube for a clean design. Unlike some other models in the range, it is non-removable — charging is done directly on the bike via the integrated port.

Design and comfort

The CGO600 is built on an aerospace-grade 6061 aluminium frame with a rigid 6061 aluminium front fork. Its net weight of 15 kg (battery included, no accessories) makes it one of the lightest urban e-bikes in its category, easily carried upstairs with one hand. Available in M and L sizes for riders 175–195 cm tall.

CST puncture-resistant 700C tyres provide excellent grip on asphalt and puncture protection to minimise urban incidents. The adjustable stem lets you fine-tune handlebar position for optimal comfort on longer rides.

TEKTRO hydraulic disc brakes deliver precise, progressive and reliable stopping power in all conditions with less effort than mechanical brakes. Integrated STVZO-compliant lighting (front headlight and rear light integrated into the mudguard on the new edition) ensures legal and optimal visibility. Fully hidden cabling preserves the clean lines of the frame and protects cables from the elements and impacts.

Weaknesses

❌ Non-removable battery — must charge on the bike
❌ 252 Wh battery capacity among the smallest in its class
❌ Range up to 70 km — lower than models with larger batteries
❌ Single-speed transmission — best suited to flat roads (see CGO600 Plus for hills)

❌ No rear rack or mudguards as standard (optional or via newsletter subscription)

Comparison and positioning

The TENWAYS CGO600 is the entry-level model in the Tenways range and the undisputed champion of lightness at 15 kg. It targets the urban cyclist who prioritises ease of transport, zero maintenance and minimalist design on flat terrain. Its 252 Wh battery and 70 km range make it ideal for short to medium daily city commutes.

Compared to the CGO600 Pro (17 kg, 360 Wh battery, 100 km), it is even lighter and more affordable but offers reduced range and capacity. Against HITWAY BK18S or BK27 PRO models, it excels in lightness and aesthetics at the expense of range and equipment. The CGO600 is the ideal choice if lightness is your top priority.

This bike is right for you if:

✔ you ride in the city on flat terrain and your trips stay under 70 km
✔ you want the lightest possible e-bike — 15 kg, easily carried with one hand
✔ you love the zero-maintenance carbon belt
✔ you seek natural assistance via torque sensor
✔ you appreciate minimalist design with hidden cabling and STVZO lighting
✔ you want the dedicated Tenways app to track your rides

This bike is NOT right for you if:

❌ you live in a hilly city (choose CGO600 Plus or CGO600 Pro)
❌ you need range over 70 km
❌ you want a removable battery for charging off the bike
❌ you need a rear rack as standard
❌ you regularly ride on very rough surfaces requiring suspension
