Overview
The CEMOTO EB40 is the step-thru city commuter in the CEMOTO eBike range. It pairs a 6061 aluminum alloy frame with a 750W BLDC hub motor and a 48V 15Ah lithium-ion battery, giving a claimed range of 40+ miles.
CEMOTO markets it as Class 2 street legal with a top speed of 20 mph, which places it in the most permissive US category for eBike use on public roads and paths. It ships with a complete commuter kit — rear rack and fenders included — rather than as an add-on purchase.
The step-thru geometry (low-step frame for easy mounting) makes it straightforward to get on and off in traffic and in everyday clothing.

What makes it a commuter
The EB40 is configured for daily urban use rather than trail riding:
- Step-thru frame — mount and dismount without swinging a leg over a top tube, useful in traffic and in normal clothing
- Rear rack included — carry a bag, panniers or a lock without an aftermarket purchase
- Fenders included — protection from road spray on wet commutes
- 26 × 1.95 KENDA tires — a fast-rolling, lower-resistance profile than fat tires, which suits paved surfaces and helps range
- Class 2 speed limit — compliance with the most widely accepted eBike category
Range and performance notes
Published range figures are manufacturer-stated maximums under controlled test conditions. CEMOTO's range tests typically assume a 70 kg rider, 25 °C ambient temperature and 20 km/h constant speed. Real-world results vary with rider weight, terrain, temperature, tire pressure, battery condition and riding style.
For a structured way to estimate range for your own conditions, see Range Calculator.
Safety and legal notes
- Wear an approved helmet. Required by law in many jurisdictions for eBike riders.
- Confirm your local eBike rules. Class 2 compliance applies in many US states, but local ordinances on where eBikes may be ridden (paths, trails, sidewalks) vary. See Riding Laws & Compliance.
- eBikes are single-rider vehicles. Never carry a passenger.
- Improve your range by pedalling. The owner manual advises using pedal assistance on climbs and in windy conditions to save energy and extend battery life.
- Do not ride through deep water, and avoid prolonged riding in rain.
- Follow the assembly and pre-ride checks in Unboxing & Assembly and Pre-Ride Inspection.
