Prices are indicative at the time of publication (September 2026); the current price is shown on each product page. "Estimated real-world range" is NovoDix's own calculation: we divide the battery capacity by a consumption of 10–14 Wh/km, typical for mixed use with medium assistance, an adult weighing 75–85 kg and terrain with some hills. The figure claimed by the manufacturer is measured under ideal conditions.
