Eahora DL2000

Motorcycle styling and a throttle-first setup define the Eahora DL2000: two 250 W hub motors, one per wheel, on a 52 V, 30 Ah battery (1560 Wh). Eahora lists throttle, cruise and walk modes, not pedal-assist levels.

Highlights

• Dual hub motors: 500 W combined; the brand says you can run the front, the rear or both.
• 52 V pouch-cell battery: 30 Ah and 1560 Wh; the brand quotes 64–80 km without pedal assist, and charging takes 5.5–6.5 h.
• 20 x 4.5 in fat tires: all-terrain tread, with an adjustable hydraulic fork (100 mm travel) and a FASTACE coil rear shock.
• 240 mm hydraulic disc brakes: 2-piston calipers with motor cut-off.
• Throttle controls: a five-level twist throttle, 8-second auto-cruise and a 6 km/h walk mode.
• Steel frame: high-carbon steel, single speed, 74.5 kg with the battery, rated for 150 kg.

Who it suits

Riders who like a retro moped look and would rather ride on the throttle than pedal, on city streets, dirt roads and gravel. Our guide to hub motors and mid-drives explains how they differ.

• Range is the brand's figure; speed, hills, rider weight, tire pressure and cold all change it. How to estimate your range.
• Ships free anywhere in Canada (no P.O. boxes).
• It ships set to 32 km/h; the brand says a display setting raises the top speed to 56–61 km/h, beyond the limit above.
