Price and specs last reviewed Jul 17, 2026

The VTUVIA Zeal LT7 is an affordable step-through commuter built around a 500W rear-hub motor with 65 Nm of torque. A 48V 13Ah battery delivers up to 70 miles of manufacturer-rated range (about 45 miles in real-world mixed riding), and the 350 lb payload capacity gives it more headroom than most bikes at this price. Hydraulic disc brakes, front suspension, and a 27.5-inch wheel step-through frame make it an easy entry point for riders who want solid range and comfort without paying for fat tires or a torque sensor.
