We put together a table to get an understanding of folding electric bike options and answer some basic questions.
We haven’t tried out most of these, but do hope to review them eventually. In the meantime, comments from any of you who have experience with these are welcome!
Here’s what we know so far.
What’s the cheapest electric folding bike?
The cheapest folding electric bicycle that we’ve found so far is the Cyclamatic CX2. It sells for $599.99 on Amazon (price updated daily). Given the overall good reviews from real customers and it’s long range, this is a pretty strong deal.
Which folding electric bike weighs the least?
The lightest folding electric bike is the e-Mazing Innovations B.O.B at only 35 lbs (15.9 kg). It’s a cute little thing that folds up very small as well, and does so nearly instantly. The wheels are small but thick enough to provide some extra stability.
Which folding electric bike has the greatest range?
The Addmotor M-140 can go for up to 55 miles on its first level of assistance.
Next up, the Enzo eBikes Electric Folding Bicycle claims to get a range of up to 50 miles (80 kilometers).
Which folding electric bike is the fastest?
The Addmotor M-140 can reach 23 mph on its own power: a 48V 10.4Ah Samsung lithium battery driving a 48V 500W brushless motor. It’s designed for hills and off-road use, with fat tires and a sturdy frame.
Note that most bikes claim a maximum speed of 20 mph. That is the maximum speed allowed for a low-speed electric bicycle by the Consumer Product Safety Act in the USA. In the European Union the maximum speed for electric bicycles is 25 km/hr.
Which folding electric bike has the best battery?
The Addmotor M-140 has a 48V 10.4Ah Samsung lithium battery.
