VelectriX Foldaway (2026) at a glance
The VelectriX Foldaway is a folding e-bike that is no longer sold in Australia. It pairs a VelectriX FX1 hub drive motor with 40Nm of torque, a 313Wh battery rated for up to 40km, 20 inch wheels, and weighs 19.2kg. It is listed as a 200W pedal-assist e-bike limited to 25 km/h for Australian roads.
Is it for you?
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.
Standout strength
19.2kg all in and a two fold mechanism that genuinely collapses to 85 x 55 x 67cm, small for a bike with 20 inch wheels.
The main compromise
A 313Wh battery and 200W front hub only stretch to about 40km, so this is a last mile bike, not a weekend ride bike.

Common questions
How much does the VelectriX Foldaway cost in Australia?
The VelectriX Foldaway is listed at $1,699 (ride-away). eBikeFinder checks pricing against manufacturer and distributor information, and prices can change with sales and stock.
Is the VelectriX Foldaway road legal in Australia?
Yes. The VelectriX Foldaway is a 200W pedal-assist e-bike that stops assisting at 25 km/h, which meets the road-legal e-bike standard in every Australian state. Compliance is asserted by the brand rather than independently verified, so confirm the current spec with the seller.
What is the range of the VelectriX Foldaway?
The VelectriX Foldaway has a claimed range of 40 to 40 km from its 313Wh battery. Real-world range is usually lower than the claim, since it depends on assist level, rider weight, terrain and wind.
What motor does the VelectriX Foldaway have?
The VelectriX Foldaway uses a VelectriX FX1 motor, in a front hub position, producing 40Nm of torque.
How much does the VelectriX Foldaway weigh?
The VelectriX Foldaway weighs about 19.2 kg. That matters if you need to lift it onto a car rack, carry it up stairs, or store it, since e-bikes are heavier than regular bikes because of the motor and battery.
Who sells and backs the VelectriX Foldaway in Australia?
The VelectriX range is distributed in Australia by VelectriX (Sunshine Coast, QLD); sold through 99 Bikes and 150+ independent dealers. Buying from a brand with real Australian support matters most when something needs a warranty claim or a service.
