Eskute launched its latest commuter-focused e-bike, the Polluno. The Polluno city e-bike is optimized for riding on paved roads, cement, and tarmac. Rather than trying to create an all-in-one e-bike with a large price tag, Eskute sought to optimize this e-bike for city commuters while keeping the price down.
As a result of this, the bike only has front suspension and moderate wheels that balance speed and stability. The bike achieves a maximum speed of 15.5 miles per hour from its 250-watt motor. When this is combined with the bike's 522 Watt-hour battery it can ride for 65 miles before needing to charge. However, the bike does not have ultra-fast charging and takes upwards of six hours before reaching its capacity.
