Is it for you?
Best suited to
Caravanners, apartment dwellers and car-boot commuters who want a folding bike with chunkier tyres and a big battery.
Standout strength
A folding frame with a torque sensor, front suspension and a 720Wh battery, so it rides like a full-size bike.
The main compromise
At 33kg it is heavy to lift into a boot, and 3.0 inch tyres are semi-fat rather than true 4-inch fat tyres.

How much does the Leitner Porto weigh?
