Video reviews

How we came by this bike, and where the numbers are from
KENOTU supplied this bike for review. It has not arrived yet, so nothing on this page comes from riding it — every figure below is KENOTU's own published specification or a written answer from them, and it is labelled as such. We will update the page once the bike is here and we have ridden it.

Confirmed by KENOTU in writing on 18 September 2026: the 250 W figure is the continuous rated output under EN 15194; the battery is 250 Wh; a full charge takes about two to three hours; the 150 kg maximum load is rider and luggage combined; the tyres are 16 in by 3.5 cm; and there is no GPS tracking.

Common questions

Is the KENOTU K10 road legal in the UK?

Yes. It is a 250W electric bike whose motor stops assisting at 15.5 mph, which makes it an EAPC — legally a bicycle. You need no licence, no tax and no insurance, you can ride it anywhere a normal bike is allowed including cycle paths, and there is no helmet requirement. The rider must be 14 or over.

How far will the KENOTU K10 go on one charge?

The manufacturer claims Up to 60 km (KENOTU claim, untested by us) (about 37 miles). Treat that as a ceiling rather than a figure to plan around: claimed ranges come from the lowest assist level on flat ground with a light rider, and hills, cold weather, tyre pressure and rider weight all take a bite out of it.

How long does the KENOTU K10 take to charge?

About 3 hours from empty with the supplied charger.

How much does the KENOTU K10 weigh?

19 kg. That is light enough to carry up a flight of stairs or lift onto a car rack without much thought, which in practice decides how often a bike gets used.

Can the speed limiter on the KENOTU K10 be removed?

No — this model is locked at the standard assist limit with no setting to change it. In the UK, raising the limit takes the bike outside EAPC rules: it becomes a motor vehicle needing registration, tax, insurance and a helmet, it is no longer allowed on cycle paths, and an insurer will treat it that way after an accident. We record the setting because it decides what a bike can legally be, not to suggest you change it.

Does the KENOTU K10 have a torque sensor?

Yes — a torque sensor, which scales assistance to how hard you push. It feels more like riding a bicycle than a throttle, and it is generally the more natural of the two systems.

What brakes does the KENOTU K10 have?

Caliper rim brakes, front and rear.

How much weight can the KENOTU K10 carry?

150 kg (rider and luggage combined), including the rider. Subtract your own weight to see what is left for luggage, a child seat or shopping.

Answers are generated from this bike’s recorded specification, so they change when the specification does. Range figures are the manufacturer’s claim — why claimed range and real range differ.

Protect your new bike

Sort these three when it arrives and you reduce the risk of theft — a good lock keeps it safe, insurance covers you if the worst happens, and registration helps you get it back.

Lock — FoldyLock Elite

A super-flexible folding lock — easy to wrap around an eBike frame and lock to almost anything. The mount doesn’t rattle, and the key slides in and out and locks smoothly (plenty of locks don’t — it saves a real headache). We run the matching pair ourselves — two locks, six identical keys, so both our eBikes open with the same key — genuinely convenient. ART 3 / Sold Secure Gold rated, the certification level many insurance policies ask for.

Insurance — Bikmo

Specialist UK cycle & eBike insurance covering theft, accidental damage and more — it’s what we use ourselves.

Register — Bike Register

Log your frame number on the UK national database the day it arrives — it deters thieves and hugely improves the odds of recovery.

We genuinely use and rate these. The Amazon lock link is an affiliate link and may earn us a commission; the Bikmo and Bike Register links earn us nothing.

Recommended gear

The four we would buy first, in order: a helmet, somewhere for your phone, a lock, and a bag.

Victgoal LED cycling helmet

Helmet — Victgoal LED Helmet

Well-reviewed for actually doing its job — owners post crash photos where it took the hit and saved their head — plus a USB-rechargeable rear light for riding after dark.

Lamicall Bike Mount phone holder

Phone holder — Lamicall Bike Mount

A rock-solid handlebar mount with a quick-lock clamp — follow your route or track your ride and it won’t budge, even over rough ground.

FoldyLock Elite folding bike lock

Lock — FoldyLock Elite

The lock we run on both of ours. ART 3 / Sold Secure Gold, folds small enough to live on the frame, and the mount does not rattle. More on it under Protect your new bike, above.

VAUDE Aqua Back waterproof pannier

Waterproof bag — VAUDE Aqua Back Pannier

Fully waterproof, secure and genuinely big — swallows a day’s kit and then some (we use ours to carry tennis rackets to sessions and back).

Four more things we use
Supertooth Roamee open-ear cycling headset

Hands-free — Supertooth Roamee

Open-ear design so you still hear traffic clearly, with a windshield mic that keeps your voice clean at speed. This is a proper cycling comms headset, not just earphones — get two and they work like walkie-talkies, talking to each other up to 300m with no phone call needed, or pair one to your phone for calls and music. It fixes to your helmet with strong double-sided stick-on clips on each side, and the unit itself attaches to those clips with magnets — so it’s easy to pop off to charge and click straight back on. The sound is what you’d expect at this price — perfectly enjoyable for music on the move — and for the money you’re getting far more than a set of earphones.

iMESTOU bike drink bottle holder

Drink holder — iMESTOU Bottle Holder

A clamp-on cup/bottle holder that fits most handlebars and a wide range of bottle sizes — simple, sturdy, and one less thing to think about on a longer ride.

Muc-Off eBike Clean, Protect and Lube kit

Cleaning kit — Muc-Off eBike Clean, Protect & Lube Kit

Made specifically for eBikes — a proper cleaner, a protective spray, and a wet lube, so you’re not using a general bike product on electrical connectors and sealed components.

Simptech sling bag for keys and phone

Keys & phone bag — Simptech Sling Bag

Somewhere for your garage key and bike lock keys that isn’t loose in a pocket, with a separate compartment for your phone when it’s off the bike mount — so keys can’t scratch the screen.
