Electric folding bike

[Folkranger]

Well, we have had our Furo systems carbon fibre folding electric bikes now for a year. Just gone through Tuscany visiting all the hill/mountain top towns. These bikes are nothing short of amazing. Loads of power (500w), tough, light and very good quality components means you can cycle off power as a normal bike. We have been amazed the hills these have got us up. We did a 1300m climb over 5km in Spain and at the top we had used a third of the battery….bearing in mind I weigh 90kg. Normal riding 30-40 mile range easy. Very impressed with after sales service and an British company.

Better, (ahem), and a little over half the price of a brompton. OK so they don't fold as well but as we use ours for the motorhome they don't get folded as its easier to put two side by side in the garage and they take up no more space than two folded.

Only for info and I dont need comments on the quality from the "e bike experts"
Been to the Argos clearance warehouse in Walsall today and quite a few referb electric bikes in stock from £279 with guarantee.

But they are all very heavy and the OP was looking for light weight.

We have had our AS Bikes folders with 20”wheels over 10 years and still going well. Great support and attend most shows so always up for a chat. Not the lightest but quite manageable.

We’re in Spain at the moment landing in Portsmouth at 1700 on the 22nd if that helps

We have a D4s, got it to help wife get used to cycling again. Went up and down 33% hills near whitby
on smaller wheels like all folding bikes not as stable as a bike on full size wheels. We’ve had it since last Christmas and no issues so far.

I agree we have folding small wheel bikes , can wobble especially when doing hand signals , wouldn't buy again

We bought two 36v 14.5Ah folders from Ebikesdirect and they are fantastic. Not in the megabucks bracket but have been ultra reliable. We live in an extremely hilly area near the Cambrian mountains and use them regularly in the hills and for shopping with trailers - we’ve not found a hill yet that they can’t handle. Very wide gear range and fit easily in MoHo too.
Couldn’t live without them and the company are great to deal with.

Which model did you buy?
Ignore - you already answered that
