Eunorau META26 Step-Thru City eBike

Quick answer

The Eunorau META26 is a step-thru city e-bike built around a torque sensor rather than a basic cadence sensor, which makes the assist feel like pedaling rather than a switch. Eunorau rates it at a 48V 500W hub motor with 55 N.m, 20 mph as a Class 2 e-bike, UL certified, a 286 lb payload and up to 100 miles with the optional second battery. It weighs 68.4 lbs, fits riders 5'4"–6'3", and includes fenders. $1,699 with free shipping in the lower 48.

Class, speed & certification

E-bike class

Class 2 Speed limited Unlockable

Class rules are set by state and local law in the U.S. Check the rules where you ride — some paths and trails restrict Class 3.

Top speed

20MPH

UL certified

Yes — as published by Eunorau. UL listing for the battery and electrical system is what many U.S. cities, insurers, and apartment buildings now ask for.

Who the META26 is for

Buy it if

Commuters who want smooth, natural assist — the torque sensor is the headline here
Riders who want a step-thru frame and an easy stand-over
Long-distance riders willing to buy the second battery for serious range
Riders who need a UL-certified battery to charge indoors

Look elsewhere if

You need the advertised 100-mile range without extra spend — that figure requires the optional second battery
You're outside 5'4"–6'3", since the META26 comes in one 18" frame size only
You need a light bike to carry upstairs — it's 68.4 lbs

Power

The motor

Eunorau specifies 48V 500W hub motor with max 55 N.m torque.

Range

Battery and range

Battery: 48V 15Ah (Optional Second Battery 15Ah/17Ah). Eunorau rates the range at 100 Miles (48V 15Ah Battery+ Second Battery 17Ah). Charging takes 5 - 7 hours. Real-world range moves with rider weight, terrain, temperature and throttle use.

Fit

Size, fit and capacity

Eunorau publishes a total payload capacity of 286 lbs. Recommended rider height is 5'4" ~ 6'3". The bike weighs 68.4 lbs.

Controls

Display and drivetrain

Display: BC182 LCD display, EUNORAU GO App Support. Drivetrain: SHIMANO ASLM3157RC 7-speed.

The honest ledger

Green flags

Torque sensor, not a cadence sensor — the single biggest ride-feel upgrade at this price
Class 2 and UL certified, per Eunorau — the combination that keeps it legal on most US paths and chargeable indoors
286 lb total payload, published by Eunorau, which is generous for a city bike
Fenders included rather than sold as an extra
Five colorways — Deep Crimson, Steel Blue, Alpine White, Pastel Pink, Dark Charcoal
180 mm hydraulic disc brakes with motor cut-off, plus LED lights front and rear

Red flags

The headline 100-mile range is only with the optional second battery fitted — Eunorau does not publish a single-battery range figure for the META26
68.4 lbs is heavy for a city bike, and there's no getting around that on stairs
One frame size (18"), so fit is narrower than a multi-size range
26x3.0 tires are wide and comfortable but slower on smooth pavement than a true commuter tire
7-speed Shimano drivetrain is entry-level

What it covers

Manufacturing defects in Eunorau's original parts and components.

Eunorau states it continues to support the product after the warranty period as a manufacturer courtesy, and may ask only for shipping costs on replacement parts.

What you must do

You are the original purchaser — the warranty does not transfer
Proof of purchase (your Redtail order confirmation)
Product registration with Eunorau right after purchase
An e-bike check-up by a Eunorau specialist or dealer after the first year of use

Not covered

Ordinary wear and tear — brake pads, rotors, spokes, grips, shifters, brake cables and casings, tires and tubes, chains, chainrings, cassettes, transmission gears
Labor charges for part replacement
Corrosion from moisture or heat, and cosmetic deterioration of the finish
Damage from accident, abuse, stunt riding, racing, improper storage, or neglect

24-Month+ Limited Warranty issued by Eunorau Bikes, a Nevada corporation. Bikes bought for commercial use — rental fleets, delivery, sharing programs — get a 50% reduced warranty period. Full terms are published by Eunorau at eunorau-ebike.com/pages/warranty. Redtail coordinates warranty claims for bikes bought from us, so send it to us rather than to Eunorau: support@redtailebikes.com.

Manuals & documentation

In the box

Eunorau's spec sheet for this model lists a printed manual and a tool kit as included.

Any other document

Eunorau publishes display, controller, shock and accessory manuals across several files. Tell us which one you need and we will send you our copy, so you are not hunting through a supplier download hub.

support@redtailebikes.com

Eunorau publishes display and component manuals rather than a per-bike user manual. We link only the manual Eunorau lists against this exact model. Need a document we haven't linked? Email support@redtailebikes.com and we'll request it from Eunorau.

Shipping, returns & support

Shipping

Free shipping on every electric bike within the contiguous United States (lower 48).

Orders are prepared and dispatched within 1–3 business days. Most e-bikes arrive within 5–10 business days after dispatch.

Ships via UPS, FedEx, or LTL freight for larger items, with tracking emailed at dispatch. Freight deliveries may need a scheduled appointment and a signature.

On delivery

Inspect your shipment at delivery. Damage, defects, or incorrect items must be reported with photos within 48 hours.

If a bike arrives dead, won't charge, throws an error code, or has a faulty component, it is covered under the manufacturer warranty and Redtail coordinates repair or replacement remotely.

Returns

Change-of-mind returns accepted only on unopened, factory-sealed items requested within 72 hours of delivery, with a 15% restocking fee plus return shipping. Once a box is opened or a bike is ridden, it is no longer eligible.

Order cancellations carry a 3% transaction fee, because card-processing fees are non-recoverable.

Alaska, Hawaii, U.S. territories, P.O. boxes, and remote areas may incur extra charges or be excluded — contact us before ordering. Full terms: Shipping Policy · Refund & Return Policy.

Frequently asked questions

Is the Eunorau META26 UL certified?

Yes — Eunorau lists this model as UL certified. In the U.S. that increasingly determines whether you can store and charge the bike inside an apartment building, and some insurers ask for it too.

Eunorau's 24-Month+ Limited Warranty: 10 years on the frame and 24 months on the battery, motor and electrical components, covering manufacturing defects. It requires registration with Eunorau after purchase, applies to the original purchaser only, and excludes wear items and labor. Redtail coordinates claims for bikes bought from us.
