There was a time when we did double takes if we saw a folding bike. They felt like a novelty at first encounter.
Fast forward to 2024 and they are EVERYWHERE. They are easily one of the more popular categories of bike thanks to how portable they are. Sedan drivers, RVers and more all can take them easily.
Our team has reviewed hundreds of e-bikes, and folders are ones we field TONS of questions about. Here's our pick amongst the best performers from our testing.

I have an ENGWE L20 2.0. Paid 699.00 have had it over 28mph....21-80 mile range , dual suspension....I like my bike a lot. Especially for the money...
How did you buy it for 699?
I love the XP Lite it is so light and nimble. My wife and I love going on bike rides together, it is one of our favorite hobbies.
I've had several e-bikes and I was looking for one that was small enough to fit two in the back of our 2017 Chevy Volt. I found one on Amazon, that is currently (May '24) about $500 including shipping,. "Vivi M026TGB 26" Folding Electric Mountain Bike with 500W Motor, 48V".
I was skeptical as it sounded too good to be true, but I was surprised how good they are. I like the fact that they are full size 26" with full suspension. They fold up nicely, look pretty sharp, and the battery seems to give a solid 20 miles of range, which is really my limit before my butt gets too sore. :)
I was used to paying over $1,000 (closer to $2,000) for our e-bikes and was surprised how OK these were at such a low price.
Nothing else would fit in my cramped Honda Accord Hybrid trunk, so Lectric Lite was the best choice for me (and I wasn't about to pay Brompton prices!).
The Lite is awesome
Bingo bongo! Corolla over here. Higher utility and much lower cost than any that I know of.
Nice bike but not a long ride on the battery. Good for short distance and slower speeds.
Poooooonjab
Is the Lectric XP-lite battery UL listed?
It would be awesome to see you test out the Velotric Fold. I agree that Lectric is the best one on this list.
Just got that in the office actually. Review will be up soon!
@@griffinhales3421 Awesome! I love the hard work y'all put into these
@@griffinhales3421 Awesome, I can't wait! I really appreciate the hard work you all put into these reviews.
I have a victrip titan and that bike is amazing and especially there customer service is outstanding
If you need to fold down to get on the subway or perhaps a city apartment, brompton is the best and smallest folding bike.please review their ebike as well as the carbo model s (350 w) which is also lightweight while offering a bit more power than a brompton
I like this format. Good job! Hopefully we get a few new updated bikes because of this list.
What about the Mod E-bikes? Like the Mod City +3 folding? Thoughts on this?
We have not reviewed the Mod City +3 folding e-bike yet.
Have you guys texted the HovBeta yet? It has a 750W rear hub torque sensor and hydraulic brakes. I am curious how it would stack up.
Not yet, but it looks interesting. You're not the first person to mention it, so hopefully we can get that one in!
@@ElectricBikeReport thanks for the reply. I’ll keep my eyes open for a future review. Keep up the good work.
Would love to see hovsco's folding ebike's review and test
Would have been nice if you guys included the Electric XP Trike model. It’s a folding trike made by LECTRIC and really great deal at $1,499. It’s great for those of us, like me, that have limited mobility and prefer the stability and in this case the convenience a folding e-trike offers. Perhaps an E-trike review coming soon?
Hopefully they get out the reverse trike with independent suspension, they don't tip over like a normal trike and much safer and incredibly smooth comfortable ride on the back when going over bumps!
The Gocycle G4i should be reviewed if the Brompton is.
Also, the new Gocycle CXi & CX+ Family Cargo electric bikes, with a total load of 480 pounds, while itself weighs 50.0 pounds. (Gocycle is not for the bargain hunter, but neither is Brompton. Must be a UK thing!)
Gocycle is still on our written best list. It's a GREAT bike.
You should also look at Dahon. They have two Ebike versions. I have had a couple of their regular folder bikes over the past 20 years. Excellent quality. US company.
Guy, please check out the Envo Flex Overland!
I thought you might have included the Engwe L20 SE in your list, fantastic bike at a great price
Haven't tested it out yet so if we get the chance we'll consider it when we update this list. What do you like about it?
@@ElectricBikeReport It`s brilliant at climbing hills and it is a big bike better suited to someone like me who is six feet four in height and it costs $799 , so what`s not to like and it it goes up to 29mph depending on how much you weigh
What about the Magicycle Jaguarundi? 750W Motor, 48V Battery, 50 Mile Range Class 2 folding bike. Cost ~$1,300.
Haven’t tested it yet, so we don’t know about its performance. Looks interesting though - hopefully we can test it soon.
I want a foldable step through with enough power to pull a trailer for my dogs and be able to climb big hills. Is there something out there for me, preferably with 2 1000watt motors and maybe 2 batteries? I don't need speed, just power by way of torque!
Have you looked at Wallke bikes ?
The Evelo dash always gets missed. It's more expensive, but with mid drive and a belt, it's higher quality.
I have an Evelo, the carbon belt took it over the other options. No grease, and I hardly ever have to charge it with my “last mile” commute
so letric might be the best ?
Jasion X-Hunter is an amazing beast for an e-bike.
We'll have to test it out and see how it does! What do you like about it?
@@ElectricBikeReport out of the box I liked speed, torque, distance, dual suspension, seat and easy to assemble. I am 250 and has no issues. Price tag was nice as well.
engwe has recently reeased the engine pro mk2 and it has a torque sensor and the potential to run dual batteries
That sounds promising! Are you riding and Engwe now?
@@ElectricBikeReport no, I've been riding a super73, but I've been in the market for more of a work bike, that possibly folds, and that Engwe is definitely at the top of my list. My priority from experience is battery size, followed by dual suspension, with some potential of portability if at all possible lol. There are also a car uple 60 ah folders on the market I'm interested in as well
Lots of nice folders with great features. However, you missed one of the most important features that we, as the consumer, often need. That's customer service or service after the sale. Some of these companies are falling short on this important feature. I would much rather spend my money on a "Lesser" bike from a company with excellent customer service!
Very bad experience with my lectric 3.0 first when I got it I had the battery stolen off my porch then the range that I was getting with it was only 10 to 12 miles on PAS one and then it fell out of my semi truck and hit the ground and broke in half Cracked right up the hinge. I bought a used 2.0 and absolutely loved it. Something about the components with the 3.0 just aren’t as good. I now have the rad expand five and it is the best bike by far over lectric. Long-haul trucker and I have to have a bike that folds to keep it in the cab passenger seat of my truck so I can go on rides I get in a good 50 to 75 miles a week.
I love my Rad Expand 5!!!
Any idea when there will be a Lectric XP 3.5 or 4.0?
Lectric already got a 3.5 upgrade when they added hydraulic brakes and a few other small upgrades.
@@DM-fp8uw oh yeah forgot about that. hope they come out with the 4.0 this year with noticeable changes
@@BigB0ss00 My wish list would be a styling update, a more easily removable battery, 8 speed shifter, lighter weight, and, in my dreams, a 750w nominal motor and a torque sensor.
Jasion X-Hunter and Jasion EB7
Is there an ebike out there that folds into a grocery cart of sorts? That would be cool. Something i can fold and then use the wheels to push or pull it
Surprised you don't have wallke H9 on here
You missed GoCycle. Great light weight folding e-bike
We have them included on our written best page. It's an AWESOME bike for sure!
Sinch has a free second battery now too
That's a screaming deal then.
Engwe x26 or ne of the engwe x series, or ne engwe at all.. all around best bikes I've used
That's some serious Engwe love!
What about the Hovsco Hovbeta?
Its been out over a year and has a torque sensor, 750 watt hub motor, Class 3 speeds and hydraulic brakes!
Essentially an Aventon Sinch 2 on steroids!
Get on with it now!
750w Hub isn't much in power!
@@quantumfx2677 It is still far more powerful than the Sinch 2's 500w motor and packs 85Nm of torque!
People reviewing this bike literally almost wheelie off the moment they engage the throttle on this thing!
You guys should add the weights of every bike you test
We do cover that on the written review if we forget to mention it on the video!
What about ENGWE. Folding bikes?
Haven't tested any folding bikes from them. Hopefully we can get some in soon and see how they stack up.
@@ElectricBikeReport czcams.com/video/whXAWKMZ_q0/video.htmlsi=pxgj4qDkLmkoctY9
The sinch 2 is a gem
none of the links are working (Firefox)
Folding bikes should not make a person look like a circus Bear on a bike. Yet be light for a lady to manage it into a minivan.. 12 ah is fine but a strong 75 Nm or so. Hydraulic brakes and suspension great lights front and rear.. a comfy seat. Not much to ask for in the $700 range..
Any such bike come to mind at that price tag?
Er Go cycle folding ebike ???
We've got that included on our written best page!
You had one small mistake on the Sinch. It can be unlocked in the Aventon app to 25mph. Not quite 28, but better than 20.
The channel should change name to Lectric Bike Report. Yes, I've owned Lectric, and they are ok, good starter bike at best in my opinion.
What a joke. You pass this video off as real analysis, but it's so obvious that it was just an advertisement for every one of these bikes. I've had many different folding ebikes over the years. And there are obvious attributes and deficiencies of each. You did a prospective buyer absolutely no service. You never addressed any weaknesses or deficiencies of these models. So buyers out there beware, this is not the channel that gives any worthwhile information. Even if I wanted one of these bikes, I would definitely not click on your affiliate link because you don't deserve it. Shame on you.
Hi Mark,
Just a reminder, the first link in the video description takes you to our written best folding page. From there you'll find links to individual reviews for each bike (written or video, except the Mokwheel Slate which should be live within a week) where you'll get all the in-depth testing and analysis along with the good and bad of each bike. The purpose of this video was to share what we liked most about each of these ones since they are ones we often recommend, or because they were standouts from our testing. We hope that helps ✌️
Yeah, it's a joke that they jump straight to the 2024 audacity when they haven't reviewed a folding e-bike that's been out over a year that's essentially the superior version of the Aventon Sinch 2.
Sad to see the Hovsco Hovbeta being the overlooked, overshadowed black sheep despite being an Aventon Sinch 2 on steroids.
i would never buy a folding bike ..... I'd rather get a scooter ..... or skates ..... if i buy a bike ..... no folding
Why no folding?
Velotric Fold!
We are in the middle of reviewing this e-bike now, but it wasn't completed in time to evaluate for this current Best List. We are liking it so far though!
