Nerd tests and tries - this time under the microscope: the C91 electric bike, which promises power, range and terrain without limits.


Technology and technical features

Motor: 48 V, 1000 W brushless rear motor – in official specifications it reaches a limited speed of 50 km/h, but with an additional motor (e.g. dual motor version) it can reach 55 km/h or more.

Battery: Li-ion 48 V with a capacity of 17.5 Ah or 20 Ah (approximately 840–960 Wh). It provides a range of between 55–80 km (35–50 miles), depending on the riding mode – sport mode or pedaling.

Download: Shimano 7-speed transmission and 5-speed PAS (pedal assist) with LCD display for speed, battery level, riding mode and errors.

Suspension: Front fork and rear suspension – by smoothing out bumps, they ensure a comfortable ride even on gravel roads.

Brakes and safety: Disc brakes front and rear, LED light front, rear brake light, turn signals in some models. The design is IP34/IP54 rain protection.

Wheels and frame: 20″ × 4.0″ “fat tire” – suitable for sand, snow and uneven surfaces. Choice of steel or aluminum frame. Load capacity up to 150 kg.

Weight: Approximately 32–42 kg (depending on the version), which is standard for the fatbike category.

Charging: 4–8 hours, includes USB port for charging phones while driving.


A nerd's experience in the field

Start – the engine is responsive with good acceleration, you can feel the torque despite the urban-balanced design. Speeds of 30–35 km/h are easily achievable, with higher speeds in “off-road” mode.

Reach – the 20 Ah battery will impress you: 60–70 km with PAS and a moderate pace, almost 55 km purely electric. Higher PAS saves battery and extends range.

Comfort – fat wheels + suspension withstand all the bumps in the road – gravel, sand, bumps – the ride remains smooth.

Braking & Safety – the disc brake system with 180 mm discs stops effectively, LED lighting provides safety even in the dark.

Weight – 32 kg weight is not ideal for carrying or combining with public transport. Charging is slow, this should be taken into account when planning your trips.
