The NCM Milano Plus is a step-through trekking e-bike built around a 48V 250W Das-Kit X15 rear-hub motor and a generous 768Wh (48V 16Ah) battery, making it well suited to longer commutes and weekend rides. The low-step Aluminium 6061 frame comes in 26″ or 28″ wheel sizes, and a Suntour NEX-HLO suspension fork paired with Schwalbe puncture-resistant tyres keeps things composed over kerbs, gravel and broken tarmac.
Hydraulic disc brakes and a Shimano Altus 8-speed drivetrain handle stopping and gearing, while the Das-Kit C7 LCD shows speed, range and six levels of assistance. Integrated lights, a USB charging port, mudguards and a rack round out a practical everyday package. At 27kg with a 140kg max load, it is sturdy yet manageable.
As a 250W pedal-assist bike limited to 25 km/h (15.5 mph), the Milano Plus is classed as an EAPC and is fully road-legal in the UK with no licence, tax or insurance required.

A Closer Look at the NCM Milano Plus
The 768Wh (48V 16Ah) Das-Kit battery is the standout figure here — a genuinely large capacity for a trekking e-bike, built for longer commutes and weekend rides rather than short hops. It’s paired with a 48V 250W Das-Kit X15 rear-hub motor, and the whole system is managed through a Das-Kit C7 LCD showing speed, range and six levels of assistance, so you always know how much charge you have left before committing to the return leg of a long ride.
A Suntour NEX-HLO suspension fork with lockout and Schwalbe puncture-resistant tyres keep the low-step Aluminium 6061 frame composed over kerbs, gravel and broken tarmac, while hydraulic disc brakes and a Shimano Altus 8-speed drivetrain handle stopping and gearing without fuss. Integrated lights, a USB charging port for accessories, mudguards and a rack round out a package built to be ridden daily rather than fair-weather only.
Who Rides the Milano Plus, and Where
This suits riders planning longer commutes or weekend distance rides who want a step-through frame for easy mounting and dismounting. As a 250W pedal-assist bike limited to 25km/h (15.5mph), it’s classed as an EAPC and is fully road-legal in the UK with no licence, tax or insurance required.
Setup & Care
The Suntour NEX-HLO fork’s lockout is useful for road sections where suspension bob wastes energy — get familiar with the lever before relying on it. Charge the 768Wh battery per Das-Kit’s guidance in the manual below, and the USB port is handy for topping up a phone on longer rides but shouldn’t be relied on to run down the main battery unnecessarily. At 27kg with a 140kg max load, check tyre pressures against the load you’re carrying.
