Description

The Lankeleisi KETT-8 is an urban electric bike with a 6061-T6 aluminium soft-tail frame positioned in the brand's premium segment. With its integrated Samsung 48V 20Ah battery pack (960 Wh) built into the frame, it claims up to 150 km range in pedal-assist mode (eco mode). Its nominal 250W motor (peak claimed at 1130W) is paired with an integrated torque sensor for responsive and natural assistance. The KENDA 26x3.0 inch tyres and lockable suspension fork with 120 mm travel complete a package designed for city streets and light trails.


Who is this bike for?

This model is particularly suited for:

  • Daily urban commutes and home-to-work journeys
  • Cyclists between 160 cm and 190 cm tall
  • Riders seeking comfortable bikes with dual suspension (soft-tail)
  • Long city rides or suburban trips thanks to the large 960 Wh battery

Performance and range

The KETT-8 features an integrated torque sensor that adapts assistance to rider effort, delivering smooth and natural riding. The nominal 250W motor can reach a peak of 1130W according to the manufacturer.

  • Battery: Samsung 48V 20Ah (960 Wh), 21700 cells
  • Claimed range in eco mode (PAS1): 150 km
  • Range in pure electric mode (preset 25 km/h): 70 km
  • Range in pure electric mode (unlocked 48 km/h): 50 km
  • Preset speed: 25 km/h

In real-world conditions, range depends on:

  • Rider weight and cargo load
  • Assistance level selected (5 PAS levels)
  • Terrain, wind, temperature and tyre pressure

The manufacturer's claimed results were achieved with a 60 kg rider on flat terrain at 27°C.


Comfort and equipment

The 6061-T6 aluminium soft-tail frame offers integrated rear suspension, complemented by a lockable front fork with 120 mm of travel. This dual damping system aims to absorb urban bumps and light trail surfaces.

  • KENDA 26x3.0 inch tyres for stability and comfort
  • ZOOM four-piston hydraulic brakes with motor cut-off
  • Shimano 8-speed transmission (Shimano M310 derailleur, M315-7 shifter)
  • 4-inch colour LCD display IP64 rated
  • Integrated LED headlight and rear light with indicators and brake light
  • Rear rack and aluminium mudguards included
  • Half-twist throttle

Total weight is 35.4 kg and maximum load capacity is 180 kg.


Strengths

✔ Large Samsung 960 Wh battery for generous range
✔ Integrated torque sensor for natural assistance
✔ Dual suspension (soft-tail plus 120 mm lockable fork)
✔ ZOOM four-piston hydraulic brakes
✔ Complete lighting with integrated rear indicators
✔ Standard equipment: rear rack, mudguards, 4-inch colour display


Weaknesses

❌ High weight of 35.4 kg
❌ Premium-segment pricing (£1,799)
❌ 26x3.0 inch tyres: less nimble than narrow urban tyres, less stable than genuine 4-inch wide tyres
❌ Specifications mention unlocked speed of 48 km/h, raising road homologation questions
❌ Rear suspension (soft-tail) with travel and actual quality to be confirmed through use


Comparison and positioning

The Lankeleisi KETT-8 positions itself as the brand's premium urban model, with an ambitious spec sheet: large Samsung 960 Wh battery, torque sensor, dual suspension and four-piston hydraulic brakes. Against other more affordable Lankeleisi models, it justifies its price with significantly more complete equipment and higher-quality components (Samsung 21700 cells, Shimano 8-speed transmission).

Against competitors in this price range, it offers a claimed range among the highest on the market for a non-folding urban bike.

Important note: whilst the motor is claimed at nominal 250W and preset speed at 25 km/h, the product sheet explicitly mentions an unlocked speed of 48 km/h and motor peak of 1130W. With some brands like Lankeleisi, this dual specification can make actual homologation difficult to interpret. The 250W display and 25 km/h limiting alone do not guarantee compliant road homologation, especially when no clear choice between a certified and unrestricted version is offered at purchase. It is recommended to verify regulatory compliance before use on public roads.


This bike is for you if:

✔ you seek a comfortable urban bike with dual suspension
✔ you want generous range thanks to the Samsung 960 Wh battery
✔ you appreciate natural assistance via torque sensor
✔ you need complete equipment from purchase (lighting, indicators, rack)


This bike is NOT for you if:

❌ you want a lightweight bike that's easy to carry
❌ you have a tight budget
❌ you want a bike with clear road homologation
❌ you prefer a folding format for storage
