DUOTTS
C29 Lite
Model year 2026
Price and specs last reviewed Jul 16, 2026
The DUOTTS C29 Lite is the budget entry point into the C29 platform: a 250W rear-hub motor with 45 Nm of torque, well below the 750W/65 Nm motor on the standard C29, keeps the price down for riders who mainly want light pedal assist rather than throttle-driven power. A 48V 10Ah battery is rated for 40 miles manufacturer, closer to 30 miles in real-world mixed riding, and at 55 lbs it is one of the lighter 29-inch e-bikes in the catalog. Front suspension and Shimano 7-speed gearing cover basic comfort and paved-road use, and the 286 lb payload is lower than its siblings' 330 lb rating. At $729, it is honestly positioned below the standard C29 rather than a like-for-like discount: riders who want real throttle power or a bigger battery should look at the C29 or C29-K instead.
