City Electric Bikes: The 250W City Line
Four closely related city models on the Bafang RM G010 250W rear hub — the European-style core of the commuter range, with racks fitted and a 25 km/h published top speed.
These four models are variations on one city specification, and that is their selling point: a distributor can build a city range from them knowing that the motor system (Bafang RM G010, 36V 250W rear hub) and battery format (36V 10Ah) are common to all four, while the visible differences — wheel size, battery position, fork and saddle — let the range cover different riders and price points.
The 250W City Models
| Model | Motor | Battery | Range (PAS) | Max Speed | Payload |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| C1 | Bafang RM G010 rear hub, 250W (36V) | 36V 10Ah rear-rack battery | 31–60 km | 25 km/h | 100 kg |
| C3 | Bafang rear hub, 250W (36V) | 36V 10Ah frame battery | 31–60 km | 25 km/h | 100 kg |
| C7 | Bafang RM G010 rear hub, 250W (36V) | 36V 10Ah rear-rack battery | 31–60 km | 25 km/h | 100 kg |
| C8 | Bafang RM G010 rear hub, 250W (36V) | 36V 10Ah rear-rack battery | 31–60 km | 25 km/h | 100 kg |
How the four differ
C1 is the reference build: 700C×40C tires, a rear-rack battery, a lockable full-alloy fork and a rear rack. C3 moves the battery into the frame, switches to 26×2.1 tires and a ZOOM fork for riders who prefer a smaller wheel. C7 returns to 700C with a Suntour NEX fork and a VELO saddle, again with the rack battery. C8 matches the C7's specification closely and gives the range a second 700C option for channel or color separation. All four are throttle-free pedal-assist bikes with Shimano Tourney 7-speed gearing and Tektro mechanical disc brakes, and all publish the same 31–60 km range band and 100 kg payload.
Where This Line Fits
This is the line to quote when the brief says urban, upright and uncomplicated: municipal and campus fleets, city retail ranges and rental operations that want a bike a first-time ebike rider understands in one minute. Buyers who need hill-climbing torque or a belt drive should step sideways to the wider commuter family (M600 mid-drives, the belt-drive EC2); buyers who need the bike to fold should look at the folding family.
Questions Buyers Ask
Can I order samples first?
Yes — under the factory's published sample policy, spare units can be provided for sampling; the sample fee and courier cost are paid by the buyer. Confirm availability for the models you want when you inquire.
How are the bikes packed?
Complete bikes are shipped 85% assembled in brown cartons; folding models can be packed in their folded state. If you hold a registered patent and authorize the use of your brand, branded cartons can be arranged — raise it in your inquiry.
How long does production take?
The published lead time is 30–60 days after the advance payment is received, depending on the product category and order quantity. Ask us to confirm the schedule for the exact models in your inquiry.
Can colors be customized on this line?
Several models in the wider commuter family list custom colors (the C3 among them). Tell us the color program you need in your inquiry and we will confirm it per model.
