Is it for you?
Best suited to
Caravanners, boaties and apartment dwellers who want a folding e-bike with a big battery, front suspension and wide tyres for gravel and rail trails.
Standout strength
A 504Wh Samsung cell battery in a 20-inch folder, with a lockable 60mm fork and 2.35-inch Kenda tyres. Folds to 51 x 71 x 82cm.
The main compromise
At 24.5kg it is heavy to lift folded, and the 200W motor with a 20 km/h throttle sits outside EN 15194.
Consider something else if
You want a lighter, cheaper folder (see the URBAN), fat tyres (see the POGO) or a bike whose throttle stays within the 6 km/h EN 15194 limit.
Check before you buy
Check how your state treats a 200W e-bike with a 20 km/h throttle, and confirm the price locally because RILU does not publish one.
