|---|---|---|---|
| Who it suits | |||
| Best suited to | Apartment dwellers and public transport commuters who need it to fold under a desk or into a train vestibule, not chase range. | 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 | A 313Wh battery and 200W front hub only stretch to about 40km, so this is a last mile bike, not a weekend ride bike. | 300Wh battery is small and non-swappable. The front-hub motor is less efficient on hills than a mid-drive. | |
