Moto-inspired ebikes are a popular choice among adventurous types looking for something a little different than the average commuter. Budget bike maker Engwe has updated its "to enhance performance, comfort and safety" – with a 160-mile dual battery setup stealing the show.

"In response to user core feedback and the overwhelming success of the M20, Engwe has introduced the M20 2.0 with a series of thoughtful upgrades under the concept of ," the company explained in a press statement. The update party kicks off with an increase in battery capacity to a total of 1,622-Wh for the dual-battery setup (an increase from 1,248-Wh), which translates to an estimated per-charge range of 162 miles (260 km) at the lowest power mode or 63 miles (101 km) on throttle only.
The power system has been boosted from 48 volts to 52 V too. Stopping power has moved from mechanical to hydraulic brakes with 180-mm rotors, and Engwe says that the hydraulic rear suspension has been enhanced for improved comfort, which works with the suspension fork to absorb the rough stuff. The new ebike also benefits from a new color display with better visibility.

ft) of torque and pedal-assist up to 28 mph (45 km/h). A Shimano 7-speed gearset offers a more flexible ride exper.
