|---|---|---|---|
| Who it suits | |||
| Best suited to | Off-road or private property only as sold. Riders on private property who want a folding bike with a big battery and a throttle. | City professionals who want the world's most recognisable folder with e-assist. The Brompton fold is the smallest and most reliable available. | |
| Main trade-off | It is not road legal as sold, and at 28.5kg it is heavy for something you are meant to carry. | 300Wh battery is small and non-swappable. The front-hub motor is less efficient on hills than a mid-drive. | |
