Flagged as a product to avoid

1 of 2 research runs entered this as a product to avoid rather than a pick.

A basic, unremarkable city bike propped up by discount-code marketing: even sympathetic reviews offer only faint praise, verified buyers flag a dim LCD and generic componentry, and it is outclassed at similar money by the Ride1Up Portola and Lectric XP4 750, which have real support networks.

But if you want a powerful 29-inch electric bike that can handle real daily use without premium pricing, the Duotts C29 is one of the most interesting options in its category.

And the new C29 Lite is probably the best value for money ebike at the moment, hands down. not only looks absolutely awesome, it also has got extremely good battery, also extremely good range and also extremely good build quality as well. And yeah, when it comes to style for this price, I think it's totally unbeatable.

So, yeah, uh both bikes for those prices are absolutely insane value for money. The first major difference between these two is that the new C29 Lite actually is a fully road legal bike. So at least in whole Europe essentially it's totally street legal.

So, when it comes to value for money, this is pretty much unbeatable. I have had my C29 for a bit over a year. So, yeah, I purchased myself and it was actually my first e-bike and I absolutely love it. So, the power is absolutely great that you can get and the whole spec for the price I'm paying is totally unbeatable. And over here I have the new OneSport OT05.

Now, this is a lovely ebike. I have been out and about on it and uh I like it. I really do like it a lot. Um I like the design on it. It's more like a mountain bike. Um they've got this back rack on the back here, which is really useful for carrying stuff around, um shopping or whatsoever. Now, this what's different about this? It's got 21 speeds.

Compared to previous generations, it is more powerful, more attractive, and more modern, but nothing comes for free. Weight has gone up by around 3 kg, and the bike now comes in at just under 30 kg.

I did about 2000 miles used Monday Friday left out in all weathers here in the UK and had no issues. Something happened to the PAS sensor and even tho Duotts did change it for nothing it still didn't work.

It's heavy, but it's true that it's not entirely convenient if you're trying to put it in a car or something like that every day. It's a bike, so, as I said, quite heavy. Regarding the dimensions, it has 29-inch wheels, a length of 179 cm, practically 1.80 m. It's a bike that can support weights of up to 120 kg for a person who wants to ride it.

Those looking for a longer, purely electric range or a more powerful engine may want to consider other models, but based on the specifications provided, the DUOTTS C29 Lite is a solid, practical choice.

The top speed is 45 kph and claimed range 80 to 100 km which I find a bit hard to believe but we will do the proper test to find out. It also has 750 W motor in the back and also 48 volts and 15 amps massive battery. It will take 7 to 8 hours to fully charge this beast. It has 29 in uh wheels, which is big one. Comfy ride. And the weight of this bike is 26 kg. So, it's a bit on a heavier side.

It's a shame that there is no way to adjust the stiffness or completely block it. The brakes here are standard cable with a 160 mm disc. You can also notice the Julet connectors on the handlebars, which I really like. As I announced at the beginning, we have a legal 250 W motor transmission with a peak power of up to 672 W at full battery.

At the service, Adam said he wouldn't want this bike even for free. In his opinion, it's even dangerous. It has significant acceleration, and even when you stop pedaling, the motor continues to push forward for a bit. The mechanical disc brakes are a joke for this bike's power and weight.
