Nuze i1 - Text Review

Underpinning the Nuze i1 is an AL Tech 6061 alloy frame, helping it keep a relatively light weight (~18.5 kg) for its class. The geometry is tuned for urban rides upright, stable, and easy to manoeuvre through traffic. A front suspension fork adds ~50 mm of travel, absorbing bumps and enhancing ride comfort. The overall build feels confident: the wide base, comfortable saddle, and balanced posture combine for a ride that’s comfortable and composed in city settings.

Top speed is capped at ~25 km/hr, as per regulations. The single-speed drivetrain simplifies operation no gear shifts needed, just hop on and go. For typical commutes, the motor delivers smooth assistance, especially from stops and on gentle inclines. While it’s not a high-end performance e-MTB, for its urban focus it does what it's designed for.

Comfort is one of the i1’s strong suits. The front suspension fork helps soften bumps and speed-breaker joins. Combined with the upright posture, wide handlebar, and ergonomic saddle, the ride feels relaxed and manageable for city use. The responsive motor assist reduces pedal-strain on gentle climbs and helps maintain momentum in stop-go traffic. For everyday commuting and casual city rides, the i1 strikes a good balance between utility and comfort.

Braking is handled by mechanical disc brakes front and rear (160 mm rotors), providing reliable stopping power even in urban conditions. The bike steers confidently thanks to the large 26″ wheels and the well-balanced frame geometry. In traffic and tighter spaces the i1 is nimble, and on open stretches the stability is reassuring. If you primarily ride on smoother roads or commuting routes, the handling will suit very well.

The i1 rolls on 26″ × 2.0″ tyres mounted on double-wall alloy rims. These tyres offer a slice of comfort, good grip, and a relatively low-maintenance setup suited for mixed city surfaces. The larger wheel diameter helps with roll-over of small bumps and uneven patches, which is beneficial in urban use.

The Nuze i1 is powered by a high-capacity lithium-ion battery that delivers dependable energy for both city rides and daily commutes. With its smart power management system, the battery ensures smooth and efficient energy use, giving you consistent performance even on long routes or uphill stretches. The removable design makes charging convenient simply plug it in at home or the office. Plus, with a fast charging time of 3–4 hours, you’re always ready to ride again in no time.

Built for endurance, the Nuze i1 offers an impressive range of up to 45–50 km on pedal assist and around 25–30 km on throttle mode. This gives you the freedom to explore further, whether you’re commuting through the city or cruising on the weekend. Its balanced motor and battery coordination ensure efficient power delivery, so every ride feels effortless and enjoyable from start to finish.
