The only Jansno with turn signals and a tail light built in, and the only one offered in a plain graphite grey. It is also the one model where you choose the motor, at 250W or 750W.
Drawback: 45 kg, mechanical discs, and the 750W option puts it clearly outside the 250 W power limit that both the UK and the EU apply. Jansno list a torque sensor on its page, but confirmed to us in writing in September 2026 that it is a PAS cadence sensor.

Jansno sells 3 current models in the US, spanning $899 to $1,199, through uk.jansno.com. This page compares every current model against every other so you can work out which one, if any, is actually the right buy — not just which one is cheapest.
Jansno is the budget end of this site, and it competes on one number: battery. No bike we list in the US has a bigger battery than the X70's 1,632 Wh. The X70 gives the most battery for the money of any bike we list in the US: 1,632 Wh for $1,059. All 3 models run fat tyres, all have suspension of some kind, and all use a hub motor and a Shimano 7-speed drivetrain on a high-carbon steel frame.
The sensor is the thing to understand before you buy, because every Jansno product page gets it wrong. All of them advertise a torque sensor. Jansno confirmed to us in writing in September 2026 that its whole range uses a PAS cadence sensor, the X50, X60 and X70 included. On our reading, no bike in this range has a torque sensor. In practice that means assistance arrives when the pedals turn rather than scaling to how hard you push — most noticeable pulling away from a standstill, and worth a test ride if that is something you find awkward.
Where Jansno is a weaker fit: brakes, weight and choice. Only 1 of the 3 — the X60 — has hydraulic disc brakes; the rest stop on cable-pulled mechanical discs, on bikes weighing 40 kg to 54 kg. All 3 advertise a 45 km/h top speed, well beyond the 25 km/h assistance ceiling that both the UK and the EU apply — see the US road legality below. 1 of the 3 was out of stock at our last check.
Under US federal rules a low-speed electric bicycle has working pedals, a motor of no more than 750 W and a top speed under motor power alone of no more than 20 mph, and is treated as a bicycle rather than a motor vehicle. Your state then sorts eBikes into three classes by how fast the motor keeps helping — 20 mph for classes 1 and 2, 28 mph for class 3 — and sets its own rules on paths, helmets and minimum age, so the detail is state by state and worth checking where you ride.
This is where Jansno needs reading carefully, because the range does not sit comfortably inside those rules on its own published figures. All 3 models listed here — the X50, X60 and X70 — advertise a top speed of 45 km/h, roughly 28 mph, against the 25 km/h ceiling. The X70 publishes a 750W continuous rating and the X50 is sold with a 750W option, both well above 250 W. The X60 publishes no continuous rating, only two 750W peak hub motors, 1,500W combined, so it cannot be placed either way. None of the models listed here is published entirely inside the ceiling.
None of that makes a bike impossible to own or ride — it is manufacturer-published data, not something we have tested, and a model sold in a UK-specific configuration can differ from the figures on a global spec sheet. But it does mean you should ask Jansno directly what the bike you are ordering is limited to before assuming it can be ridden on a road or cycle path as an ordinary bicycle.
| Model | Continuous power | Claimed top assisted speed | Status |

| Jansno X60 | — | — | Claimed speed exceeds 20mph* |
Editorial review: 10 September 2026
What Jansno does well: battery for the money. No bike we list in the US has a bigger battery than the X70's 1,632 Wh. The X70 gives the most battery for the money of any bike we list in the US: 1,632 Wh for $1,059. Every model is on fat tyres and every model has suspension of some kind.
Where it compromises: the sensor, the brakes and the weight — in that order. Not one bike in this range uses a torque sensor. Every Jansno product page says "Torque Sensor"; Jansno confirmed to us in writing in September 2026 that the whole range is PAS cadence, the X50, X60 and X70 included. A cadence sensor gives you assistance when the pedals turn rather than in proportion to how hard you push, which is most obvious pulling away from a standstill on a 40 kg bike. 2 of the 3 stop on mechanical rather than hydraulic discs. Nothing here weighs less than 39 kg.
Who else to consider: if the sensor is what matters — and it does if anyone riding the bike struggles to get going from a standstill — start at eBikes with a torque sensor instead, or read our Cyrusher guide for the same heavy fat-tyre idea with torque sensing across the range. For something you can lift, ADO is far lighter. To see the whole field rather than one brand, browse fat-tyre eBikes or eBikes under $1,000.
No. Every Jansno product page describes a torque sensor, but Jansno confirmed to us in writing on 10 and 11 September 2026 that the whole range uses a PAS cadence sensor. Assistance therefore arrives when the pedals turn rather than scaling to how hard you push, which is most noticeable pulling away from a standstill.
All 3 models listed here — the X50, X60 and X70 — advertise a top speed of 45 km/h, roughly 28 mph, against the 25 km/h ceiling. The X70 publishes a 750W continuous rating and the X50 is sold with a 750W option, both well above 250 W. The X60 publishes no continuous rating, only two 750W peak hub motors, 1,500W combined, so it cannot be placed either way. None of the models listed here is published entirely inside the ceiling. Ask Jansno what the specific bike you are ordering is limited to before assuming it can be ridden as an ordinary bicycle.
The X70, at 1,632 Wh. No bike we list in the US has a bigger battery. The X70 gives the most battery for the money of any bike we list in the US: 1,632 Wh for $1,059.
Only the X60. The rest stop on cable-pulled mechanical discs, which is worth weighing on bikes of 40 to 54 kg.
