Pros and cons
ESKUTE Netuno Plus
Pros
- €699 for a real 27.5-inch e-bike — half the price of an entry-level Gazelle
- Bafang motor has a reasonable reputation in the budget space, better supported than generic brands
- 522 Wh battery is easily enough for 50-70 km of daily commuting
- Classic 27.5-inch wheels roll better on asphalt than 20-inch fat tyres
Cons
- No integrated rear rack or chaincase — less commuter-ready out of the box
- No ART certification, not suited for premium insurance
- Rear hub motor gives a less natural pedalling feel when accelerating
