Budget e-mobility brand Engwe recently introduced a new ebike series, the Mapfour commuter, at CES 2025. This marks the brand’s entry into premium build territory, with the N1 Air and N1 Pro models being the center of attention. Both models are crafted around a “high-grade carbon” frame, emphasizing lightweight design, long-lasting battery life, powerful performance, and fast charging capabilities.
The CES announcements highlighted the use of high-grade carbon fiber similar to that of brands like Specialized and Trek. The models are equipped with a market-leading motor and promise a quick full recharge in just a few hours. Now, after a short wait, much of the information regarding the debut models of the two series has been revealed.

Starting with the Mapfour N1 Air, this model features a one-piece molded carbon fiber frame in low-step or step-over options, weighing just 1.28 kg (2.8 lb). With the addition of other components like the rigid aluminum fork, the total weight comes to 15.6 kg (34.4 lb).
The N1 Air is powered by a 250-W Mivice rear-hub motor offering 40 Nm (29.5 lb.ft) for tackling inclines and providing pedal-assist up to 25 km/h (15.5 mph). Additionally, it is equipped with a Shimano Tourney 7-speed gearset for enhanced pedaling flexibility.
The commute is powered by a 36-V/10-Ah Samsung Li-ion battery, offering up to 100 km (62 miles) of range per charge. Recharging time is between 5 and 8 hours. The ebike also features a range of specs including 700x38c tires, mechanical disc brakes, integrated lighting, and an anti-theft system with various security features.
On the other hand, the Mapfour N1 Pro version promises “mountain bike-level power and premium features,” featuring a full carbon frame, mid-drive motor, and fast-charging capabilities. The model comes with a similar estimated range and supports quick charging to full capacity in around an hour and a half.
The Mapfour N1 Pro boasts an integrated LED color display, dual-beam headlight, hydraulic disc brakes, and enhanced anti-theft measures. Pricing for both models is expected to be under €3,000, with reservations opening soon.
