Soho 50 (Designed in Canada)

A Low Step-Through City Bike With 65 Nm, a Lit Rack, and a Manual That Lists Use Down to −20 °C.

The Soho 50 is Taubik’s 26-inch city step-through. For 2025 Taubik lowered the step-through passage, and it lists a 500W Sutto rear hub with 65 Nm, a 48V Samsung battery with 21700 cells, Kenda Kwik Drumlin 26×2.2″ street tires, Shimano 7-speed gearing and Zoom hydraulic brakes on 180 mm rotors.

Taubik describes “quiet street profile tires, an easy step-through frame” and 26-inch wheels “that keep the bike close to the ground”. Its photos show front and rear fenders, a rear rack with a brake light, and a kickstand. The manual adds a thumb throttle, cruise control on the display, and use from −20 °C to 60 °C (charging between 0 °C and 40 °C).

Taubik’s documents also set its limits, including a 120 kg maximum load in the manual (286 lb on the page) and two different speed figures on its page. Both are covered below.

• Quiet on pavement. Kenda Kwik Drumlin street tires at 50–80 psi in the manual.
• Carries the groceries. A rack rated for 25 kg with an integrated brake light.
• Cold-weather riding on the manual’s terms. Use from −20 °C, charge indoors.

Key Features

• 500W Sutto rear hub, 65 Nm — “500W SUTTO (65 NM)” on Taubik’s page; the manual lists a “500W/48V Hub, UL approved”.
• Cadence assist — “Cadence Sensor” on the page; “Speed Sensor” in the manual.
• Thumb throttle and cruise control — Per the manual. Pedal assist vs throttle →
• 48V Samsung battery — 15Ah on the page; 14.7Ah with BMS, 21700 cells, “UL approved” in the manual. Charges in 6–8 hours on the 54.6V 2A charger, between 0 °C and 40 °C.
• Certification — Taubik’s page says the Soho 50 has “UL 2849 certification”; its manual lists the motor, battery and charger as “UL approved”. Ask us for the certificate if your building or insurer needs one.
• Kenda Kwik Drumlin 26×2.2″ tires — On 26″ double-walled spoked rims.
• Shimano 7-speed — “Shimano Altus RD-M310-7-Speed” on the page; “7-speed Acera” in the manual. MF-TZ500-7 (Taubik lists it as the cassette), KMC Z7 chain.
• Zoom hydraulic disc brakes — Dual-piston, 180 mm rotors, with motor cut-off.
• Rear rack with integrated brake light — Taubik says it has “a night mode and a brake sensor, complemented by an additional secondary light”; rated 25 kg in the manual. Headlight and kickstand (manual parts list).
• 6061 aluminum step-through frame, 17.4″ — Vibee front suspension fork; fenders front and rear in Taubik’s photos.

How It Arrives

Taubik’s French Soho 50 manual says the bike arrives in its carton about 75% assembled:

• Loosened or removed for shipping: the pedals, seat, front wheel and sometimes the handlebar
• Taubik’s manuals for this model: English (PDF) → · French (PDF) →

The French manual says a qualified technician must install those parts before your first ride (“un technicien qualifié devra installer ces composantes”): ask us how that is handled for your order before your first ride. Assembly walkthroughs by phone or video are included in your first month of Zeus Care: call 1-866-938-7580.

The Honest Take: What to Know Before You Buy

1. Taubik’s page has two speed figures. 32 km/h in the spec table and manual; “top speeds of 41km/h, ideal for off-road adventures” and a 1000W peak in a feature paragraph. Ask us how the bike ships before you ride it on public roads.
2. Plan around 120 kg, not 286 lb. The page says 286 lb; the manual says a maximum load of 120 kg (about 265 lb). The rack’s own limit is 25 kg.
3. Cadence, not torque. Assist comes on once the cranks turn rather than following how hard you press; for a switchable sensor on a step-through, see the Vista 26.
4. Street tires, not gravel tires. 26×2.2″ at 50–80 psi suits pavement; for mixed surfaces, see the Blackburn 275T.
5. Taubik’s documents disagree on details. Battery 15Ah (page) or 14.7Ah (manual); derailleur Altus (page) or Acera (manual). We show both.

Inside those limits it is a low, easy-to-mount city bike with a lit rack and a manual that allows cold-weather riding, from a Canadian-owned brand.

Full Specifications

Who Is the Soho 50 For?

• City commuters and errand riders — Taubik calls it “the ideal electric bike for city commuting”.
• Riders who want an easy mount — The 2025 frame lowers the step-through passage.
• Riders who ride in the cold — The manual lists use to −20 °C; charge the battery indoors.
• Buyers who want a Canadian-owned brand — Taubik calls itself “a proudly Canadian-owned electric bike company”. All Taubik e-bikes →

Who it’s NOT for: riders who want a torque sensor (the Vista 26 switches between torque and cadence). Riders who, with gear, come to more than 120 kg. Riders who spend most of their time on gravel or trails (the Blackburn 275T rolls on 27.5×2.35″ hybrid tires). Anyone who needs to carry a child on the rack.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is there a review of the Soho 50?

We have not published a hands-on review of the Soho 50. This page sets out what Taubik’s own page and manuals say, including where they disagree. Call us at 1-866-938-7580 and we will tell you honestly whether it is right for the riding you do.

What changed on the 2025 Soho 50?

Taubik says the 2025 Soho 50 “introduces fresh colour options and a significant upgrade to its frame”: a redesigned lower step-through passage, so “mounting and dismounting the bike is now more effortless than ever”. Taubik also lists a colour LCD screen and a rear rack with an integrated brake light.

Is the Soho 50 legal on Canadian roads?

Canada has had no federal e-bike definition since the federal power-assisted-bicycle definition was repealed effective February 4, 2021. E-bike rules are provincial, and they converge on a 500W motor and 32 km/h of assisted speed (Nova Scotia’s statute says 30 km/h). Taubik’s spec table and manual list a 500W motor and 32 km/h. A feature paragraph on the same Taubik page says the motor “can reach a peak power of 1000W” and “achieves top speeds of 41km/h, ideal for off-road adventures”. We have not confirmed how the bike is set when it ships, so ask us before you ride it on public roads, and check the rules in your province and municipality before public-road use.

Can I ride it in winter?

Taubik’s Soho 50 manual says: “This equipment is not intended to be used at ambient temperatures less than -20°C or above ambient temperatures of 60°C”, and that the battery should be charged only between 0 °C and 40 °C. So the manual allows riding below freezing; charge the battery indoors. Taubik’s warranty still excludes damage from prolonged exposure to rain, snow or moisture, storage in extreme cold and corrosion from salt. Our winter e-bike guide →

How far does it go on a charge?

Taubik’s page says up to 100 km. Its manual gives 70–110 km with pedal assist and 35–40 km on electric power alone. Taubik’s FAQ, written for its e-bikes in general, says its 100 km figure was measured with a 160 lb rider on flat ground, no cargo, pedal-assist level 1 and moderate temperatures. A full charge takes 6–8 hours on the 54.6V 2A charger. Our e-bike battery guide →

What is its weight limit, and how heavy is it?

Taubik’s page says 286 lb weight capacity; the manual says a maximum load of 120 kg (about 265 lb). Plan around the lower one. The rear rack is rated for 25 kg and is not for a trailer or a child seat. The bike weighs 29 kg on the page and in the manual.

Where are Taubik bikes made?

Taubik describes itself as “a proudly Canadian-owned electric bike company”. Its product pages, manuals and policies that we read do not say where the bikes are manufactured, so we will not guess: ask us and we will tell you what Taubik tells us.

Is there a manual, and how does it arrive?

Taubik posts the Soho 50 manual in English and French. The French manual says the bike arrives about 75% assembled, with the pedals, seat, front wheel and sometimes the handlebar loosened or removed, and that “un technicien qualifié devra installer ces composantes” (a qualified technician must install those parts) before you ride; the English manual we read has no assembly section. Ask us how that is handled for your order; your first month of Zeus Care also includes assembly walkthroughs by phone or video.

What warranty does it come with?

Taubik’s published warranty covers the frame for 2 years and the electrical components (motor, battery, controller, display and wiring) for 1 year, from the original retail purchase date, for the original purchaser. It excludes wear parts such as tires, brake pads and rotors, chains, cassettes, derailleurs and shifters (unless defective at delivery), and damage from overloading, unauthorized modifications, environmental exposure or missed maintenance; labour is not covered unless Taubik approves it in writing. Your first month of Zeus Care is included: we diagnose the problem, file the claim with Taubik and follow it up. Zeus Care plans run $119 for 1 year, $229 for 2, $339 for 3 and $599 for 5; they are a service, not added parts coverage. Returns are 15 days from delivery on unused, unopened items, with a 15% restocking fee and return shipping paid by you. Warranty & Zeus Care →
