Duotts N26 E-Bike Review:

A Beast on Two Wheels or Just Hype?

Welcome back, bike enthusiasts! If you’ve been eyeing the Duotts N26 and wondering whether it lives up to the buzz, buckle up—you’re in for a thrilling and brutally honest ride. Whether you’re just researching or seriously considering a purchase, this in-depth review will cover everything from power and performance to practicality and minor pitfalls.
No sugar-coating. Just real talk from someone who’s spent serious time in the saddle.

Power and Performance

The Duotts N26 makes a bold statement before you even turn the key. Its aggressive, modern look and massive frame scream, “Let’s ride!” And that’s exactly what it’s built for—speed, adventure, and power.
This isn’t a commuter’s dainty city bike. It’s a full-blown electric beast for riders who crave off-road thrills, high-speed blasts, and rugged durability.

Dual Motors = Double Trouble (in a Good Way)

Let’s talk power:
The N26 packs dual 750W motors (front and rear), each pushing out 65Nm of torque. Whether you’re cruising or climbing steep hills, this e-bike answers with raw energy.
In fact, even with just the rear motor activated, the performance is more than enough for flat city rides. For context, the bike is capable of climbing hills steeper than 30°, as the creator casually demonstrates by attempting to climb a tree (spoiler: he almost pulls it off!).
✅ Unlocked speed: 56 km/h
🚀 0–29 km/h in seconds

Battery Life That Goes the Distance

No power without endurance. Fortunately, the N26 is powered by a Samsung 48V 20Ah battery, offering high quality, long life, and a solid range.

🔌 Charging time: ~7 hours
🔋 Range: Up to 100 km on single-motor use with level-2 assist while pedaling
Samsung cells are known for their reliability, and in this case, that reputation is earned. The reviewer’s first e-bike with Samsung batteries still holds 80% capacity after five years—a rare feat in e-bike land.

Comfort and Control

The full suspension system is a plus, offering both front fork and rear suspension for a smoother ride. The front fork even allows for customization—lock it, soften it, or harden it depending on your ride.

🟡 BUT… the rear suspension is stiff for some riders’ tastes.
And then there’s the saddle—arguably the biggest gripe. It’s fixed in place, and not height-adjustable, which limits proper pedaling ergonomics.

🚫 If you’re planning to ride in pedal-only mode, this could be a deal-breaker.
✅ But if you’re sticking with throttle or assist mode, it’s comfortable enough.

Brakes: Top-Tier Safety

The Ktet hydraulic brakes paired with 203mm rotors are nothing short of excellent. Add motor inhibitors (which cut motor power the second you pull the brakes), and you’ve got motorcycle-level stopping power.

🛑 Strong, consistent, and safe
💧 Works great in the rain (huge plastic fenders keep you dry)

Smart Features: GPS, Bluetooth & Alarm System

The Duotts N26 is as smart as it is strong:

🔐 Bluetooth unlocking (no password required)
📍 Integrated GPS tracking
🚨 Built-in alarm system (though too quiet for real theft deterrence)
📱 Upgraded display with Bluetooth and GPS

The only downside? The companion app is buggy. The reviewer couldn’t activate the paid navigation subscription, so this feature remains untapped.
The display also lacks a light status indicator, making it easy to forget your lights are on.

Lights and Additional Features

– Frame: Aggressive aluminum design
– Paint: Glossy red accents with premium finish
– Fenders: Massive plastic ones that do their job well
– Cable management: Mostly internal—clean and tidy
– Tires: 26×4″ fat tires for excellent off-road grip
– Handlebars: 70cm wide for maximum control

Rider Height: Ideal for 170–200 cm
Bike Weight: 40 kg
Max Load: 150 kg

Portability: Heavy Lifter

This bike isn’t light. At 40 kg, it’s a heavy machine. Lugging it up stairs? Manageable if you’re on the ground or first floor. But anything beyond that is a serious workout.
There’s no perfect grab handle, so lifting can feel awkward.
