Eunorau META24 Review 2026: 61.7 lb, 500 W, $1,699

500 W hub · 55 N·m · torque sensor · 720 Wh · 20 MPH · 61.7 lb · 286 lb rating · 224.3 lb left over · 5'3"–6'2" · $1,699 · verified September 8, 2026

Quick Answer — The Eunorau META24 1.0 is a $1,699 step-through commuter: 500 watts, a torque sensor, 24-inch wheels, 20 MPH. At 61.7 lb it is the lightest machine in Eunorau's META family, so it hands back 224.3 lb for rider and cargo out of its 286 lb rating. The most of any META.

Buy it when fit and carrying capacity are the two things deciding your purchase. Every figure above is Eunorau's own published specification, read on both of the company's surfaces the same day and recomputed. The 100-mile headline needs a second battery you buy separately; on the pack that ships, the maker's own arithmetic comes to 50 miles.

How we verified this Eunorau META24 review

Verification basis: every specification on this page was confirmed at the manufacturer and recomputed. Eunorau's rendered product page and its storefront product feed were both retrieved on September 8, 2026 and compared row by row, across 32 labelled rows. That comparison is a section of this page rather than a footnote.

The arithmetic is ours and it is shown. Where the maker gives a voltage and an amp-hour figure, the watt-hours are ours. Where four members of one family publish the same load rating and four different weights, the subtraction is ours too.

Price, colorways and inventory come from our own store through the Shopify Admin API on the same date. The two limbs of the federal definition are quoted from the statute itself, and every state's own e-bike definition was screened by script against this bike's two published figures.

The recall and safety-warning searches ran against the Consumer Product Safety Commission's own complete listings and were control-tested against a brand with known open warnings before their silence about Eunorau was believed.

Other people have reviewed this bike, and we say so. Electrek covered the 24-inch META and titled the piece around whether the wheel size is the sweet spot; Off-Road Ebike Source has a dedicated META24 1.0 review. This page claims no priority over either. What it adds is the family arithmetic, the geometry comparison and the 51-jurisdiction screen — none of which appears in any answer we measured.

224 pounds: the number that decides what this bike carries

The finding took four spec tables to see.

The same 286 lb rating on all four. The dark segment is the bike itself; the rest is yours.

Eunorau publishes a 286 lb total payload capacity on the META24, and the identical 286 lb figure on the META20, the META26 and the META275 2.0. All four cost $1,699. What differs is what each bike weighs:

The META24 gives you 6.7 lb more than the 26 or the 275, and 1.7 lb more than the folder. On a rating that counts rider, clothing, helmet, lock, panniers and whatever is on the rack, 6.7 lb is a full week of groceries or a heavy U-lock and a laptop bag together.

Two things make that worth saying out loud. Payload ratings are published as one number and almost never explained, so a shopper comparing four bikes at one price sees "286 lb" four times and concludes the four are the same. They are not.

The second is the direction of the surprise. The folding META20, which most people would guess is the lightest, weighs 1.7 lb more than the 24 — folding hardware has mass, and a 20-inch wheel does not offset it.

One honest caveat on the rating itself. Eunorau states 286 lb as a total payload capacity and does not say whether the bike's own weight counts toward it. This page treats it as gross, which is the conservative reading and the one that leaves you margin. If you read it as rider-plus-cargo only, every bar above gets longer and the ranking between them does not change.

The size question, answered from the geometry table

Search for a 24-inch e-bike and the answers you get are about the category. The most common one, and we measured it appearing at the top of the results, is that 24-inch bikes suit riders between 5'2" and 5'8". This bike's own published window is 5'3" to 6'2" — eleven inches wide, and six inches taller at the top than the category answer.

The step-through opening is why the fit window is eleven inches wide instead of six.

Three published numbers explain the width, and only one of them is the wheel:

1. The saddle travels 7.9 inches. The rendered product page publishes a seat-to-ground height of 30.7" to 38.6". It is the single most useful fit number on any commuter spec sheet and most makers omit it — the META20 and META26 specification tables, read the same day, do not carry a row for it.
2. The stem adjusts. Eunorau lists an adjustable ZOOM stem with a swept-back bar, so reach and bar height move with the rider instead of being fixed by the frame.
3. The frame is 17 inches. On Eunorau's own frame-size chart, a 17-inch frame sits on the boundary between the S band (5'2"–5'6") and the M band (5'6"–5'10"). The model's own 5'3"–6'2" range runs higher than that generic chart, and the seatpost and stem are the reason.

Use the model's own range. The chart is a whole-range guide written for frames with fixed cockpits; the range on this bike's own page is the one Eunorau publishes for this bike.

The geometry sits beside its closest sibling below, both tables read on the same day. Two bikes at $1,699 each, and they are not the same shape.

Read the stack and reach rows together, because they are the surprise. The smaller-wheeled bike is 2.8 inches lower at the head tube and 0.9 inches longer in the cockpit. Lower and longer is a more stretched-out position than the numbers around it suggest, and it is why the META24 does not feel like a shrunken 26 — it is its own geometry.

And read the total length row if you park indoors. Four inches decides a lot of hallways, elevators and apartment corners. At 69.6 inches this is under six feet nose to tail.

Where you may ride it: 48 state definitions, screened

Most of what we sell is not an electric bicycle in the federal sense. This one is, and on our shelf that is rare enough to lead with.

Two hundred and fifty watts of margin under the federal ceiling, on a machine capped at 20 MPH.

15 U.S.C. § 2085(b) defines a low-speed electric bicycle as:

a two- or three-wheeled vehicle with fully operable pedals and an electric motor of less than 750 watts (1 h.p.), whose maximum speed on a paved level surface, when powered solely by such a motor while ridden by an operator who weighs 170 pounds, is less than 20 mph.

16 CFR § 1512.2(a)(2) repeats that wording inside the Consumer Product Safety Commission's bicycle regulations.

The motor is 500 watts, which leaves 250 watts of room under the federal ceiling. On the speed limb the wording deserves care: the statute says less than 20 mph on motor power alone, and Eunorau publishes a maximum of 20 MPH. A published figure sitting exactly on the line is met at the boundary, and this page says so instead of rounding it away.

In practice the three-class system is what an officer applies, and there the answer is cleaner. A thumb throttle and a 20 MPH cap is the definition of a Class 2 e-bike in the states that adopted the model legislation, and Eunorau prints "Class 2" on the product page itself. Class 2 is the least restricted tier in most of the country.

We screened the published figures against every state. Running 500 W and 20 mph against all 51 US jurisdictions' own statutory definitions returned:

Zero jurisdictions place these published figures outside their definition. For comparison, our review of the moped-style Eahora Romeo Pro covers a 1,200 W machine, and a 1,200 W rating is 1.6 times the same federal ceiling — a different conversation entirely, and one the buyer has to have before the bike arrives.

What that means for you. This is a bike you buy without first solving a legal question. Local rules on paths and trails still vary, and our state e-bike law pages work through 33 states from the statutes — but the starting position here is the permissive one.

Fifty miles on the battery that comes in the box

The battery is 48 V 15 Ah. Multiply and you get 720 watt-hours, and both of Eunorau's surfaces publish the same voltage and the same amp-hours, so that figure is exact.

The 100-mile claim belongs to the taller bar. The bike arrives with the shorter one.

Eunorau advertises up to 100 miles, and prints its own basis right beside it: "48V 15Ah Battery + Second Battery 15Ah". That second pack is an optional accessory, listed on the same page at $499. So the claim rests on 1,440 Wh while the bike ships with 720 Wh.

Fourteen point four watt-hours per mile is a demanding figure, and it tells you what the 100-mile ride looks like. Low assist, level ground, a light rider, firm tires and real pedalling — which a torque-sensor bike rewards more than a cadence bike does, and which is not how most people ride to work on a Tuesday.

Apply the same efficiency to the pack that ships and you get 50.0 miles. That is the planning number for a gentle ride on one battery. Use the throttle, climb, carry a load or ride into wind and it comes down from there.

The buying decision this creates is simple. Under roughly twenty miles each way, one pack covers the week and the 100-mile headline is not your number. Over that, budget the $499 second pack at the same time as the bike so the gap is a choice rather than a discovery.

One note in the maker's favour, because it is unusual. Both of Eunorau's surfaces publish the second pack at the same 15 Ah, and the Range row prints its own basis instead of leaving you to guess it. That is why 14.4 watt-hours per mile has exactly one answer here rather than a spread, and it is why you can check our arithmetic against the maker's page in about a minute.

Both of Eunorau's spec sheets, read side by side

Manufacturers publish specifications in more than one place, and the places do not always agree. We retrieved both of Eunorau's own surfaces for this bike on the same day — the rendered product page and the storefront product feed — and compared all 32 labelled rows.

Twenty-eight rows are identical. Not one row contradicts another. Every figure that decides anything a buyer acts on — voltage, amp-hours, watts, torque, top speed, weight, payload, rider height, controller, tire size, rotor size, charging time — reads the same on both.

Read that table as four places where the rendered page is more informative, because that is what it is. There is no version of this specification where a buyer gets a different bike depending on which page they read. The cell type is stated as SAMSUNG Lithium-ion on both surfaces, which is worth knowing on its own: cell provenance is exactly what UL 2271 exists to evaluate.

Which surface should you trust for fit? The rendered page, because it carries strictly more. Anything you need that is missing from it — a torque figure for a specific accessory, a confirmed seat-tube diameter — ask us and we will get it in writing from Eunorau before you pay.

The 24-inch wheel, and what it trades

A wheel size is a set of trades, and the honest version names both sides.

Innova 24" × 3.0" on a black alloy rim, with a suspension fork and a 180 mm rotor behind it.

What the smaller wheel gives you. A lower standover and a lower center of mass, which is what makes a foot-down stop at a light feel unhurried. A shorter overall bike — 4.1 inches shorter than the 26 — which decides storage more often than people expect. Less rotating mass at the rim, so the bike gets moving with less help from the motor. And 1.7 lb less than the folding META20, which is where the payload headroom comes from.

What it costs you. A smaller wheel drops into a pothole more readily than a larger one at the same tire pressure, so rough pavement is felt a little more; the 3.0-inch tire volume and the suspension fork are Eunorau's answers to that. And a 24-inch wheel rolls slightly less far per crank revolution at the same gear, which means the top of the 7-speed range arrives sooner when you are pedalling unassisted above the 20 MPH cap.

What it does not change. Motor, controller, battery, torque, top speed, brakes, drivetrain and payload rating are the same across the 24 and the 26. You are choosing a shape, and paying the same $1,699 either way.

Brakes, gears and the parts your hands are on

A 42-tooth chainring on a 170 mm crank, driving a Shimano 7-speed freewheel.

Braking. Hydraulic disc brakes on 180 mm rotors, front and rear, with motor-cutoff switches in both levers so the assistance stops the instant you pull. Proportionate hardware for a 61.7 lb bike capped at 20 mph — the four-piston 203 mm setups elsewhere on our shelf are answering a much heavier and faster problem. For scale, 16 CFR § 1512.5(b)(1) holds a bicycle to a 15-foot stop at the test speed its own cross-reference sets.

Shifting. A SHIMANO ASLM3157RC 7-speed shifter and a Shimano 7-speed freewheel, turned by a 42T chainring on a 170 mm forged aluminum crank. Seven gears is the right count on a bike whose motor does the hill work; more sprockets on a 500 W commuter add adjustment you rarely reach for.

The display and the app. A BC182 LCD with Bluetooth and EUNORAU GO app support, showing speed, assist level, trip data and battery state. The headlight runs off the main battery and is switched from that display, so there is no second set of cells to remember.

The stem is branded ZOOM — the component the rendered spec page names and the product feed does not.

The parts that make it a commuter rather than a bike. A rear rack and a full-coverage fender are fitted as standard, not sold as an upgrade. Front and rear LED lighting is fitted. A EUNORAU C7 comfort saddle, a swept-back bar and a suspension fork complete a machine you can ride in the clothes you are already wearing.

Rack and fender fitted from the factory — the two accessories that decide whether a commuter gets used.

Charging. A US-standard 2.0 A smart charger and a published 5 to 7 hour charge for the 720 Wh pack. Plug it in when you get home and it is ready before you are. Adding the optional second pack roughly doubles both the range and the time.

Buying it from us

Every row here points at a document, because a trust module that only asserts things is not a trust module.

Where every number on this page comes from, including the ones that are not ours. The SAMSUNG cell designation is Eunorau's own, published on both of its surfaces, and it is attributed to the manufacturer everywhere it appears. The 50.0-mile figure is arithmetic over the maker's published watt-hours, shown as arithmetic so you can check the working. Where a figure is ours we say so; where it is the maker's we say that too, and you will not find a third kind anywhere on this page.

Deep Crimson, Steel Blue, Alpine White, Pastel Pink and Dark Charcoal — 25 of each in our warehouse as this publishes.

Which META suits your body: 20, 24, 26 or 275

Eunorau builds the META as a family and buyers shop it as one — the demand we measured is family-shaped, not model-shaped. Four sit on our shelf at the same $1,699, which means the money is not part of this decision. Your body and your storage are.

Eunorau's own outdoor frame, in Pastel Pink. The rack, the fenders and the lights are all standard fit.

Two of those rows are worth a second look. The META275 2.0's published range is the narrowest of the four at seven inches, so a tall rider should check it before assuming the biggest wheel is the tall rider's bike. And the META20 reaches two inches lower than the META24 at the bottom — under about 5'3", the folder is the fit answer, and folding is a bonus rather than the reason.

Pick the 24 if the bike has to live somewhere. Apartment hallway, elevator, hitch rack, the back of a hatchback with the rear seats down. Sixty-one point seven pounds and 69.6 inches is the combination that makes those workable, and neither the 26 nor the 275 matches it.

The Mercer fit test

Seven riders, one bike. The Mercers and Kowalskis are the editorial cast we hold every review against — archetypes with fixed bodies and fixed lives, never testers. Every verdict below reads a published number or an age rule, and nothing else.

Good for Frank, wrong for Jack — and both are yeses on paper. Frank is 63 with a 5'10" frame and a preference for stepping through rather than over; this bike was drawn for him, and the 30.7-inch saddle floor means he can stop anywhere without planning it. Jack is 6'1" and also fits, but he rides ground where traction fails before speed does, and city tires on a 61.7 lb frame is the wrong tool for that — the FAT-AWD 3.0 is his bike at the same $1,699. A fit window tells you whether a bike will carry your body. It does not tell you whether it suits your week.

Has it been recalled?

No. Screened September 8, 2026 against the Consumer Product Safety Commission's own data:

• Federal recalls: the Commission's recall service returned no record naming Eunorau as a whole word.
• Product safety warnings: Eunorau appears in 0 of the 359 warnings in CPSC's complete published warning listing.

The instrument was control-tested in the same run before either silence was believed. The warning listing was searched for a brand carrying two known open CPSC warnings and returned both; the recall service was queried for a term with 19 known federal e-bike records and returned all 19. A search that cannot find what is certainly there cannot be trusted when it finds nothing, and matching is done on whole words because a substring search for a short brand name inside "electric" returns hundreds of unrelated records.

This is a screened record on the date shown, not a permanent state. Check CPSC yourself before buying anything from anyone, and register the bike so a future notice reaches you.

Is it UL certified?

Eunorau publishes a UL claim on this model's own page and a testing announcement covering the range.

The META24 product page carries a UL CERTIFIED: Yes badge in its own specification banner. Separately, in the company's own words, dated March 5, 2023: "all of our ebikes have passed the UL 2849 testing", and "Our ebike batteries have also passed the UL 2271 tests, which required an evaluation of all of the battery components; from wiring, the case materials, battery cells and the overall system."

UL 2849 covers the whole electrical system — motor, controller, battery and charger evaluated as one combination. UL 2271 covers the battery pack alone. Those two standards are the ones New York City wrote into law in 2023, barring the sale of e-bikes and batteries not certified to them, and other cities have followed.

If your building, your insurer or a local ordinance wants a certificate number for this model, ask us and we will request it from Eunorau before you pay. That takes a day and costs you nothing.

Whatever the paperwork says, charge any pack on a hard surface, away from your exit route, on the charger it shipped with. CPSC's own guidance is a five-minute read and it is the best five minutes you will spend on this purchase.

Green flags / Red flags

Green flags

• The most payload headroom in its family — 224.3 lb after the bike's own 61.7 lb, on the same 286 lb rating the other three METAs publish.
• Legally an electric bicycle at 500 W, with 250 W of federal headroom and zero of 51 jurisdictions placing it outside their definition.
• A published seat-to-ground range of 30.7"–38.6" — a fit figure the META20 and META26 specification tables do not carry.
• A torque sensor at $1,699, on a bike that also comes with a rack, full fenders and lights fitted.
• Both maker surfaces agree on every load-bearing row, checked across 32 labelled specifications the same day.
• Zero federal recalls and zero CPSC safety warnings, on a screen control-tested in the same run.
• A 10-year frame warranty behind a US corporate entity, with 24 months on battery, motor and electrics.
• Five colorways, all five in stock, 125 units as this publishes.

Red flags — meaning who this bike is wrong for

• Wrong if you needed 100 miles out of the box. That figure is built on two 15 Ah packs; the one that ships is worth 50.0 miles at the same effort, and the second pack is $499.
• Wrong if you want to keep pace with traffic. Twenty miles an hour is the cap by design, and it is the price of the bike-lane access above. If speed is the requirement, the Eahora Romeo Pro has it and carries the legal question this bike does not.
• Wrong if you are under 5'3" or over 6'2". Both ends are published. Under the floor, the META20 reaches two inches lower; over the ceiling, the META26 adds an inch.
• Wrong if your ground is loose. City tires and 55 N·m suit pavement and firm gravel; sand, snow and wet clay want the FAT-AWD 3.0 and its motor at each end.
• Wrong if balance at a stop is the problem you are solving. A step-through frame lowers the leg-over height and does nothing about balance; three wheels do, and the ONE-TRIKE 2.0 is our 500 W answer.

Buy it if / Buy something else if

Buy it if the bike has to fit a body between 5'3" and 6'2", live somewhere small, carry a real load and stay inside the bike lane. That combination is what the 61.7 lb weight, the 69.6-inch length, the 224.3 lb of headroom and the 500 W rating add up to, and no other bike in this family returns all four at once. The torque sensor is what stops it feeling like a scooter with pedals bolted on.

Buy something else if any of that misses. If your problem is loose ground, the Eunorau FAT-AWD 3.0 is the same $1,699 with a motor at each end and 375 lb of payload. If it is speed and you have somewhere to use it, read our Eahora Romeo Pro review before you spend anything. If it is balance, the Eunorau ONE-TRIKE 2.0 puts the same 500 W and 20 MPH on three wheels. And if it is purely height, the META20 or META26 are the same bike either side of this one, at the same money.

Add the META24 to your cart — $1,699, free US shipping

Before you buy: the checklist

1. Measure against 5'3"–6'2", then against 30.7" of minimum saddle height. The second number is the one that decides whether you can put a foot down comfortably.
2. Add up your loaded weight against 224.3 lb. You, clothes, helmet, lock, bag, rack contents. The bike's 61.7 lb is already subtracted.
3. Measure where it will live. Sixty-nine point six inches nose to tail, and 23.5 inches of stack — check the hallway and the elevator before the driveway.
4. Decide about the second battery now. One pack is 50.0 miles at the maker's own implied efficiency; two is the 100-mile claim, at $499.
5. Check your state's Class 2 rules, especially the minimum age if the rider is a teenager.
6. Pick a colorway. All five are in stock today, which is a sentence with a short shelf life.

Frequently asked questions

How much does the Eunorau META24 weigh?

61.7 lb, published by Eunorau on both of its surfaces. That is the lightest of the four METAs we stock, and 6.7 lb under the 26-inch version.

What is the weight limit on the Eunorau META24?

286 lb total payload capacity. Eunorau does not state whether the bike counts toward it, so treat the working figure as 224.3 lb for rider plus cargo — 286 minus the bike's own 61.7 lb. Full arithmetic here.

What height is the Eunorau META24 for?

5'3" to 6'2" is the published rider range, with a seat-to-ground height of 30.7" to 38.6". An eleven-inch window, wider than the five-to-six-inch band the category is usually described with.

Is a 24-inch electric bike good for a short adult?

For this one, the published floor is 5'3", so a rider at 5'2" or below is under it — the 20-inch META publishes 5'1". Wheel size alone does not settle fit; the numbers that do are the rider-height range, the seat-to-ground height and the standover, and this bike publishes all three.

How far does the Eunorau META24 go on one charge?

The pack it ships with is 720 Wh. Eunorau's 100-mile figure assumes a second 15 Ah battery bought separately, which is 1,440 Wh and implies 14.4 watt-hours per mile. Apply that same efficiency to one pack and you get 50.0 miles. Working here.

How fast does the Eunorau META24 go?

Twenty miles per hour, which Eunorau publishes as the maximum. That is the Class 2 ceiling in the states using the three-class system, and it is a design choice rather than a limit of the motor.

Is the Eunorau META24 street legal?

The wattage answer is comfortable: 500 W under a 750 W federal ceiling. The speed answer sits on the 20 mph boundary rather than under it. Screened against all 51 US jurisdictions, 48 place these published figures inside their own definition, two publish no definition at all, and Hawaii adopts the federal test by cross-reference. Full screen.

Does the Eunorau META24 have a torque sensor or a cadence sensor?

A torque sensor. It measures how hard you press and scales the motor to match, instead of switching to a preset level whenever the cranks turn. It is the specification most bikes at this price leave out.

What is the difference between the META20, META24, META26 and META275?

Wheel size, fit range and weight — and all four are $1,699. The 20 folds and reaches lowest; the 24 is the lightest and shortest; the 26 rolls most efficiently; the 275 2.0 has the narrowest published fit range. Side by side.

What brand are the battery cells in the Eunorau META24?

SAMSUNG Lithium-ion, and both of Eunorau's own surfaces say so — the product feed and the rendered page agree. The rendered page states it twice, once in the specification table and once in the description.

Does the META24 come with a rack and fenders?

Yes. Eunorau fits a rear rack and a full-coverage fender as standard, along with front and rear LED lighting, a suspension fork and a C7 comfort saddle. None of those is an upgrade.

What brakes does the Eunorau META24 have?

Hydraulic disc brakes on 180 mm rotors, front and rear, with motor-cutoff switches in both levers. Proportionate hardware for a 61.7 lb bike capped at 20 mph.

Has the Eunorau META24 been recalled?

No. Zero federal recalls and zero appearances in CPSC's 359 published product safety warnings, screened September 8, 2026 on an instrument control-tested in the same run. Details.

Are Eunorau batteries UL certified?

The META24's own product page carries a UL CERTIFIED badge, and Eunorau publishes an announcement that its e-bikes have passed UL 2849 testing and its batteries UL 2271. If you need a certificate number for this model specifically, we will request it from Eunorau for you. What the standards cover.

What warranty comes with the Eunorau META24?

Eunorau's warranty is 10 years on the frame and 24 months on battery, motor and electrical components, for bikes bought in the US on or after August 1, 2022. Register the bike after purchase; buying from us means we handle the registration and any claim.

Is Eunorau a good brand?

That is a brand-level question with a page of its own: our Eunorau brand profile covers the company, the range and the warranty in full.

Limitations of this review

1. Every performance figure here is Eunorau's published specification, confirmed on both of the manufacturer's own surfaces and recomputed where arithmetic allows. The evidence on this page is data and mathematics, and every number is labelled with whose it is.
2. The payload rating's basis is not published. Eunorau states 286 lb without saying whether the bike's own weight counts. This page treats it as gross, which is the conservative reading, and says so wherever the figure appears.
3. The charger's output voltage is not published, only its 2.0 A rating, so the 5–7 hour charge claim could not be derived the way the range figures were. Watts need volts as well as amps.
4. The freewheel's tooth range is not published, so top-gear road speed could not be computed. Eunorau publishes the 42T chainring and a 7-speed Shimano freewheel and stops there.
5. Two of the 51 jurisdictions publish no e-bike definition — Alaska and Kentucky — so the screen returns no verdict for them rather than a pass. Hawaii's own statute page was not reachable on the date of this screen; its definition here is read from a copy of HRS § 291C-1 deposited from the state's publisher on September 7, 2026.
6. State-by-state riding rules are not resolved here. The federal arithmetic and the definitional screen are; path, trail and municipal rules are local, and our law pages cover 33 states, each read from its own statute.
7. Price, colorways and stock were read on September 8, 2026 through our own Admin API, and all three move.

The bottom line

The Eunorau META24 1.0 is the one to buy when the bike has to fit a body and a building, and the reason is a number nobody prints. Four METAs share a 286 lb payload rating and a $1,699 price; only this one weighs 61.7 lb, which is what leaves 224.3 lb for you and everything you carry. Add 69.6 inches of total length, a saddle that drops to 30.7 inches and an eleven-inch published fit window, and you have the family's most accommodating machine rather than its smallest.

Buy it understanding two things. The 100-mile headline belongs to a two-battery configuration that costs another $499; one pack is worth 50.0 miles at the maker's own implied efficiency. And 20 MPH is the ceiling on purpose — it is what keeps a bike lane open to you, and on this machine that is the feature you are paying for.

If you have been putting off an e-bike because the ones you looked at were too tall, too long or too heavy to live with, this is the specification that removes all three objections at once.

Expiry conditions

1. Eunorau changes any published weight in the META family, which would move every bar in the payload table.
2. The second battery's published size or its $499 price changes, which would move the 14.4 Wh/mi basis and the 50.0-mile figure with it.
3. A CPSC recall or warning names Eunorau. The screen was clean on September 8, 2026.
4. A state changes its e-bike definition or its Class 2 minimum age, which would move the 48-of-51 count.
5. Eunorau publishes a per-model UL certificate number, which would replace the badge and the range-wide announcement quoted here.
6. Our price or stock moves. $1,699 and 125 units across five colorways were read that day.
