🚲 VITILAN L5 ELECTRIC BIKE
Premium Urban Performance. Smarter Everyday Riding.
Meet the Vitilan L5 Urban Commuter Electric Bike — a refined step-through e-bike designed for daily commuting, errands, neighborhood rides, and longer weekend journeys.
With a 48V 15Ah Samsung lithium-ion battery, 500W sustained / 960W peak brushless hub motor, 65Nm of torque, 25 MPH top speed, torque-sensing pedal assist, 26 × 2.4-inch puncture-resistant tires, adjustable suspension, and hydraulic disc brakes, the L5 combines practical performance with a comfortable, modern riding experience.
⚡ POWER THAT FEELS NATURAL
The L5 uses a 48V 500W brushless hub motor capable of reaching 960W peak output and producing up to 65Nm of torque.
That combination gives the L5 responsive acceleration and useful low-speed pulling power for everyday inclines, starts from intersections, and changing urban terrain.

🔋 720Wh SAMSUNG BATTERY
The L5 is equipped with a 48V 15Ah Samsung lithium-ion battery, providing 720Wh of energy capacity.
The battery is removable, making it more convenient to charge away from the bike when needed.
Claimed riding range
-
🦵 Pedal-assist range: up to 60 miles
-
👍 Throttle range: up to 45 miles
-
📊 Manufacturer marketing range: approximately 40–65 miles, depending on riding conditions and configuration
Actual range varies with rider weight, terrain, temperature, speed, assist level, tire pressure, and riding conditions.
🧠 TORQUE SENSOR = A MORE RESPONSIVE RIDE
Unlike a basic cadence-only system, the L5 uses a torque sensor.
The system detects your pedaling input and adjusts motor assistance accordingly, helping the bike feel more natural when accelerating, climbing, or changing pace.
Why it matters
-
🦵 More responsive pedal assistance
-
🎯 Better control over motor output
-
🚦 Smooth assistance when starting and stopping
-
🛣️ Natural-feeling support during everyday riding
The manufacturer describes the torque sensor as providing virtually instantaneous assistance.
🛞 26 × 2.4" KENDA TIRES
The L5 rides on Kenda 26 × 2.4-inch tires with a puncture-resistant liner.
The relatively wide tire profile provides a stable contact patch for city streets, bike paths, gravel sections, and everyday mixed surfaces.
The manufacturer specifically positions the anti-puncture tires for city, gravel, and longer-distance riding.
🪶 ADJUSTABLE SPRING SUSPENSION
The front fork uses an adjustable spring suspension system designed to absorb impacts from uneven pavement and common road obstacles.
That makes the L5 better suited to real-world streets than a rigid commuter setup.
Suspension benefits
-
🛣️ Helps smooth rough pavement
-
🚧 Absorbs smaller bumps and obstacles
-
🪶 Improves front-end comfort
-
🎯 Helps maintain control on uneven surfaces
The manufacturer specifies an adjustable spring suspension fork.
🛑 180MM HYDRAULIC DISC BRAKES
The L5 features 180mm hydraulic disc brakes on both the front and rear.
Hydraulic braking provides strong, controlled braking performance while reducing the hand effort required compared with many basic mechanical systems.
Brake specification
180mm front + rear hydraulic disc brakes
This is the brake specification listed in the detailed technical specifications.
🎛️ SHIMANO 7-SPEED DRIVETRAIN
The L5 gives you 7 speeds through a Shimano drivetrain.
That lets you select an easier gear for slower climbs or a more efficient gear when cruising on flatter roads.
Drivetrain
-
⚙️ 7-speed cassette: 14–28T
-
🔧 Rear derailleur: Shimano RD-TY300
-
🎚️ Shift lever: Shimano SL-TX50-7R
-
⛓️ Chain: KMC C8
-
🔩 Crankset: 38T × 170mm
-
🪶 Crank material: Sand-black aluminum alloy
📱 SMART COLOR DISPLAY + APP CONTROL
The L5 includes a 48V multifunction intelligent display with a TFT-style color screen.
The display uses laminated tempered glass and includes an automatic light sensor.
The manufacturer also specifies:
-
📱 Vitilan smart-app connectivity
-
🍎 Apple AirTag location functionality
-
💡 Automatic light sensing
-
📊 Ride information and settings
-
🎛️ Personalized bike controls through the app
The AirTag functionality is particularly useful for riders who want an additional location-tracking option.
💡 INTEGRATED LIGHTING
The L5 includes integrated front and rear lighting.
Front
High-output integrated LED headlight — IPX6
Rear
Signal turn light / 48V LED rear light
The integrated lighting setup is designed for visibility during everyday commuting and lower-light riding.
🪜 STEP-THROUGH FRAME DESIGN
The L5 uses a fully integrated aluminum-alloy step-through frame.
The lower step-over area makes mounting and dismounting more convenient, particularly during frequent stops around town.
The frame also keeps the battery and electrical system integrated into the overall design for a cleaner appearance.
Frame
Fully integrated aluminum alloy
🏙️ BUILT FOR EVERYDAY TERRAIN
The L5 is primarily an urban commuter e-bike, but its combination of:
-
500W rated / 960W peak motor
-
65Nm torque
-
26 × 2.4" tires
-
adjustable spring suspension
-
hydraulic disc brakes
-
7-speed gearing
-
torque sensor
gives it useful versatility beyond smooth pavement.
It's well suited to city streets, bike paths, neighborhood roads, gravel sections, and moderate everyday inclines.
Hill climbing
The manufacturer states that the 65Nm motor provides useful performance on slopes, but does not publish a specific maximum hill grade percentage. Therefore, no unsupported hill-climbing percentage is claimed here.

❓ FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
🔋 How long does the L5 take to charge?
The L5 uses a 54.6V 2.0A charger with a 48V 15Ah / 720Wh battery. The manufacturer does not publish a precise full-charge time, so an exact number should not be promised. Charging time can vary depending on battery state and charging conditions.
🚀 How fast does the Vitilan L5 go?
The manufacturer's listed maximum speed is 25 MPH.
🔋 How far can it travel on one charge?
The published specifications list up to 60 miles using pedal assist and up to 45 miles using throttle-only operation. The product marketing also describes approximately 40–65 miles of range.
Real-world range depends heavily on rider weight, terrain, speed, temperature, assist level, and riding conditions.
🧍 What rider height is the L5 suitable for?
The manufacturer does not publish a specific rider-height range. The L5 has a 32.28-inch minimum seat height and 37.4-inch maximum seat height, allowing the saddle position to be adjusted to the rider.
🛠️ Does the L5 require assembly?
The manufacturer provides dedicated L5 installation and use materials. The bike should be assembled and checked according to the manufacturer's instructions before riding.
🏔️ Can I ride the L5 off-road?
The L5 is designed primarily as an urban commuter e-bike. Its 26 × 2.4" tires, adjustable spring suspension, 65Nm torque, and 7-speed drivetrain make it capable of handling gravel and uneven everyday surfaces.
It is not presented as a dedicated extreme off-road or mountain bike.
⚖️ Does the L5 require a license?
E-bike classification and licensing requirements vary by location. Because the L5 has a listed 25 MPH maximum speed, customers should check their state and local e-bike regulations before riding on public roads or paths.
🌧️ Is the L5 waterproof?
The L5 has an IPX6 rating, which provides significant protection against water jets and rain exposure. It should not be treated as fully waterproof or suitable for submersion. Avoid flooding, deep water, pressure washing, and prolonged extreme-weather exposure.
📦 What comes in the box?
The manufacturer product page confirms the L5 bike and offers accessory configurations such as a front basket, back basket, and waterproof bike rack bag.
