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.
