A distinct 500W Moto81 configuration

The M-500 is not an abbreviated M-750 listing. Its 500W rear motor, 13Ah battery and mechanical brakes define a lower-output configuration with the same broad moto-style format.

Street and off-road tire options

The Street variant uses Innova slick tires, while the Off-Road variant uses Kenda all-terrain tires. Both are 20 x 4 inches and share the same rear suspension, drivetrain and braking specification.

Passenger hardware needs local confirmation

The long seat and folding rear foot pegs are passenger-oriented equipment. They do not establish permission to carry a passenger. Rider age, helmet, seat, footrest and passenger rules vary by province and municipality.

What the source does not tell us

Bluerev does not publish net bicycle weight or assembled dimensions. Range references also vary between 40-70 km and 50-70 km, so this page treats 50-70 km as a conditional manufacturer claim rather than a guaranteed trip distance.

Canadian availability

The Canadian dealer currently presents this model or exact variant as orderable. Street Rides uses a conservative tracked quantity of two and confirms final dealer availability during order processing.

Warranty and support

Epic Cycles' current policy lists 12 months for electronics and frame or structural components and 6 months for the battery, for the original purchaser and subject to inspection, approval, exclusions and the full written terms. The older product manual uses broader 12-month wording, so the current dealer policy governs this summary. Labour and normal wear are generally excluded.

Canadian use

The 500W motor matches a common provincial power ceiling, but the published 35 km/h capability exceeds the common 32 km/h assisted-speed limit. Confirm the delivered limiter, compliance label, passenger rules and local access requirements.

Documentation

View the dealer-provided owner manual. Confirm the delivered configuration against its product label because the shared manual contains some older family-level information.
