🚴♂️ Varun M27-1 – the king of electric mountain bikes has arrived in Finland!
It was a cool night and the sea was steaming as the Varun factory truck pulled up at Kruunuvuorenranta in Helsinki. Resting on the truck bed was a brand-new Varun M27-1, an electric mountain bike said to have been born out of a desire to combine the freedom of the trails with the pace of the city. Our test team—the “Top Gear” of electric bikes—was on site, ready to turn it on and give this machine a chance to show what it can do.
When we pressed the power button, the display came to life like an airplane cockpit. The first push of the accelerator took us straight onto the coastal road, and the engine roared to life with a whisper. The electric assist propelled us forward smoothly but decisively. As the road began to climb toward Kruunuvuori Hill, the Varun M27-1 didn’t ask if the driver had the stamina—it just took us up.
Our test team was speechless. This electric mountain bike isn't just a bike—it's a feeling, an experience, and a small revolution with every pedal stroke.
⚡ Strength you feel in your legs but that doesn't tire you out
The Varun M27-1 is equipped with a powerful 250 W brushless motor that delivers a generous 55 Nm of torque—it’s like an invisible auxiliary motor that carries you up hills with a smile on your face. The 48 V 13 Ah battery offers a range of up to 100 kilometers, so you can confidently plan even a long adventure without worrying about running out of power.
Charging takes only about 4–6 hours, and after that, you’re ready for new adventures. This electric bike is designed not just to take you from one place to another—it turns every ride into a little adventure.
🌄 Right at home in the wilderness
Rocks, roots, and mud— the Varun M27-1 thrives where others slow down. The front fork’s suspension smoothly absorbs bumps and keeps the ride steady even on technical forest trails. The 27.5-inch tires offer excellent traction and handling, and the dual-disc brakes bring the bike to a precise stop in all conditions.
When we tested it on a wet gravel road, the braking felt safe and controlled. On downhill sections, the bike is stable; it doesn’t wobble or lose its balance. This electric mountain bike is built to conquer both uphill and downhill terrain with equal confidence—it’s like a little electric lion that fears nothing.
🏙️ The city is her second home
On our way back to Kruunuvuorenranta, we turned onto the asphalt. The electric assist made the ride incredibly smooth and quiet. We shot off from the traffic lights like a rocket, but without the sound of an engine—just a soft electric hum. The LCD display on the handlebars shows everything you need: speed, battery level, and riding mode.
Shimano’s 21-speed drivetrain ensures that the Varun M27-1 is always in the right gear—whether you’re climbing, descending, or riding on a long straight stretch. This e-bike isn’t just for off-road riding—it’s also perfect for commuting and navigating city streets.

🔋 The driving experience, in the words of the test team
The test drive team summed up their experience with the Varu M27-1 in one sentence:
“It felt like my legs had been fitted with a turbo—but without any sudden jerks.”
Their favorite part was the uphill sections, where the assist did the work but still left the rider in control. On the downhills, the disc brakes kept the bike firmly under control, and on flat sections, the ride was as smooth as in a good electric car.
