Is the Velotric Fold 1 the best lightweight folding ebike $999 can buy? This video explores the pros and cons of this electric bike and shows what it can do and what it cannot do. It's not a power monster, or a range monster, but it does have a UL certified battery that is verifiable by looking up the certification online instead of just a sticker and a picture on a website. If you want a light weight folding ebike this is certainly a well qualified contender to consider. Is it going to take you to the top of Mount Everest on throttle only? No. Is it going to do 99% of things you want to do within a 40 mile radius? Probably.
Buy this folding ebike online through the link at the top of this text to support my reviews, it'll get shipped to your front door and there's virtually no assembly so you'll be able to start riding quickly.
✅ My #1 Favorite Ebikes w/ pedals:
This is like the "Trophy Truck" of ebikes, like a pick-up truck with a nitrous switch, huge and has ridiculous power, big 26" off road tires, and big plush suspension... you'll get more smiles per gallon instead of miles per gallon, don't watch this if you aren't preparred to drop $2k today:

Man I hope more companies allow you to review their bikes. Your consistent testing I really trust your reviews! A huge thumbs up !!!
When I started shopping for e-bikes, I was looking to get out and get some exercise but have some help to get me started. I was 410 lbs.
The 440 lb weight capacity is a big deal for some of us. I don't see this in most other models that I've shopped.
I bought Packer 1s for my wife and I on their Black Friday sale for $1,500 each.
Low carb and intermittent prolonged fasting of 3 to 10 days and I'm currently 80 lb lighter... And it just got warm enough to start riding the bike so... Definitely looking forward to it.
I probably would have picked this bike up for ease of transport if it had been available.
Awesome to hear this! Excited for you to start enjoying riding season!
I love velotric bikes. Have 2 of them. I also have a hitway folding bike with 3" tires, very similar to this velotric fold but I got it brand new for $465. It's nice. 750w motor, 13ah battery, goes 28mph.
you’ve upgraded both your driving skills, and your reviewing skills, you’re doing us all proud :) keep up the great work! 🔥🔥🔥
love the budget ebikes, also congrats on 100k soon !
You really do a great job!! Quick, concise and to the point!!!
This a great bike for the price. Thanks for the review Matt!
Disabled senior here.Looking for a ebike for a 350lbs man.
Dig your videos,You explain things very well.Thanks for all you do.
Trying to find the cheapest I can afford. Social security doesn't go far these days.
Velotric bikes have a 440 lb weight capacity. Keep in mind that you will pay for the extra weight in shorter range though. I bought two of the Velotric Packers and I love them but they are a bit hefty at 75 lb.
This one is close to half that weight and being able to fold it will make it a lot easier to transport.
Congrats on 100k!!!
Congratulations for 100k❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Looks like a good bike, thank you for the review 🤙, thumbs up
What a beauty! Seems like a lot of fun!
Looking for a cheaper ebike for my girlfriend. It will be nice to have someone to ride with. I've been looking for a cheaper folding ebike, I think that will be perfect for her. This one seems like a decent contender, but for about $250 less the Engwe L20 2.0 is looking a lot better. Seems like Veloteric has Engwe beat in the brakes department, that's about it. Anyways. Still a nice bike. I like the blue paint.
Same here, I have a folding bike for the Padawans to use when riding with me.
What's good about a folding bike: it is easy to ride, control, and it is safer too. Sitting low to the ground and one's feet more firmly planted on the ground, the rider feels more confident. And as Matt pointed out, the low profile bike is easy to mount and dismount. (Nothing will instill more fear in a rider than having difficulty getting on the bike and then having to manage getting off it.
Your would be a wise purchase IMO.
The engwe l20 is awesome. An older relative in my family bought one because he's 77 years old and doesn't have the strength to pedal a normal bike further than about 5 miles. It's a fast little thing as well we unlocked the top speed and got to 29mph lol although I put the EU restrictor back on it for him.
The Velotric Discover 1 is a best seller and it’s currently on sale. That one is an amazing bike too but it’s quite older. The discover 2 is a bit more expensive and new but it’s amazing too
Decent efolder for the money. Thanks for the review!✌
I really like that it comes nearly fully assembled
Would love to see a review of the Furious EMX 60v dual AWD if you can get one! Thanks for all of your reviews!
Great review. Could you please do a full review of the Shengmilo S600 Chinese e-bike as its getting a lot more popular these days and it needs a review on YTube. Thanks bud.
Interesting poses on the self-portraits that hen on the right is shooting, at 16:39. 👍
Got mine yesterday
would love to see you do video where people can ask what they want in e-bike and you give them info what to look for.
Hey, tailhappy, I just saw advertisement from Heybike, apparently, they are introducing 1000W, with 1800w peak power Ranger S, 100 NM torque and with 32mph top speed. will you able to review it? Seems like it’s a relatively strong power e-bike.
The feature you pointed at on the rear frame is for mounting foot pegs for a passenger. They’d better have short legs and flexible knees though!
great reviews on all your bikes! do you think you can get your hands on the eahora romeo pro 2? check it out its their newest upgrade...52v 60 amp battery with a two 1500 watt motors...things a beast...no reviews currently on it anywhere.
You should review the hanevar h100 you would love the power and affordable dual motor. The range on single motor or dual motor the range is insane
Wow, that's a nice bike, but I bought the A2 folding bike from AiPAS New York. It doesn't have hydraulic brakes, but it does have more useable accessories and is $250.00 less than the Velotric.
Sir, will the battery of the Lectric XPedition you revirwed a while back fit in this bike? thank you!
You should try MOTOVOLT or Emotorad electric cycle
They have bunch of products...
And you will love that...
they need a decent folding ebike which is around this weight and size with a color screen and dual motors to get up that 20 percent grade. those are three things that hold me back from this. comparable dual motor ebikes of this style are usually way too heavy at 100lbs.
Can you review the Jasion®X-Hunter Ebike.
99.9k sooo close to 100k lets gooo
Very impressive bike for the price point, especially the engineering that went into it. Just a few months ago a bike priced at under $1000 would have come with mechanical brakes, and probably powered by a 500 watt motor.
In what I call the "Padawan category" this bike will give Velotric's competitors grave concern.
P.S. Almost there Matt, 100K subscribers! Probably there by the end of this week. Make sure they have the correct address on file, to where your 100K plaque will be sent.
We've noticed ebike prices coming down here in the UK as well. You used to only get a tiny 36v battery usually like 10ah at the most and now a lot are coming with decent 48v batteries. Still capped by the 250w power limit so the power is mediocre.
what app do you use to track your average speed and range?
Hello
Is the coupon per bike or just a 1 bike discount?
I think I’ll want 2 bikes
How does the Velotric Fold 1 compare to the Ride1Up Portola or Mokwheel Slate. We are over 65 looking for the best folding e-bike.
surprised i havent seen the jasion x-hunter here yet!
Now to decide between this and the wildeway fw11 3.0 for $799. Fw11 3.0 has 32Aah battery but no hydraulic disk brakes. Hmmmm
Eh, the price is good but I’d rather go for the new Lectric One.
I bought my e bike for around 1K (usd, even tho that isnt my currency) sadly at the time of purchase the limit was 250w (now 500w) which i still think isnt enough
Whens the give away boss ?😂
Anyone knows a fast ebike thats have a Android app sow i can adjust the speed or watts on my phone ?
👍 nice
I find it dangerous riding my folding e-bike because the handle were straight and the front fork are straight,making a little move effect the handling, a hard move can throw you out flying, I fell once at a 37kmh speed on a paved road and it's hurt , need three stitches on my arms, wounded my knee and chin
Another velotric W
Can you advise a woman in her 60’s that is 5’5” with two bad knees and wants to pedal with power to go up hills. I do not want crazy power. I want control. I love your videos but I just want something i can handle and not be stressed out about.
The Velotric fold 1 will be a great choice for you. Hope this helps!
Its a little short of 48v on that battery kinda of weird. It daid 46.8 for voltage and 608 wh. Kinda wierd. I have to two 48v 13ah batteries. Which equal 624wh this battery said 46.8v 608wh so that battery is a lilttle short. Also kinda of pointless to pit a 1100 watt peak with a controller with a maximum current of 18 amps. I get it though its for cargo and should give a little more range rather then a 25 amp controller even 20amp. Still you wont ever get that 1100 watt peak with a 18amp maximum cutrent
The 48v battery thing is just what some manufacturers do. It's comparable to power tool batteries. They list 18v and 20v batteries, but they're the same exact batteries. For the ebike battery, if it says 48v it's a 46.8v nominal battery.
I'm seeing a lot of left throttles lately. Anyone know why? I have a bad left arm. No way I could buy a bike with a left throttle
I have the same issue. Wondering if I could move the throttle to the right side?
#2:51 you show 54 volts in your calculation for power output from the controller. That's incorrect, should be 48V. So it's actually a peak output of 18A x 48V = 864 watts.
a 48v battery when full is 54v so he's right. You would be right if the battery was half charged
@@Tom-ol5zzeven if it is 54x18=975, it’s still not 1050w peak as claimed by Velotric.
For the very limited amount of time that the battery is at 100% charge, it seems disingenuous to use 54V to calculate the output of a 48V battery & controller.
I agree it’s disingenuous, but they’re not the ones not brand to do it.
Should require them to show the math.
The funny thing is he does flash up his math, but he rounds up at the lower end (17A*54.6V) 928.2W -> 930 and very generously rounds up the higher end (19A*54.6V) 1037.4W->1050. [He assumes +/-1A on the 18A controller X 54.6V.]
Available in EU?
Nope
👍👍👍👍👍
test the EGO electric bike
✅👍 00:13 2-Year Warranty is Essential.
I wonder how Lectric will respond.
Mashallah ❤❤❤ first
Just the same as the Engwe L20 SE so why not just buy the Engwe and save $100
This bike does not cost less than $1000. It’s $1200.
Where is this bike made. He hasn’t got one of those Chinese Jeep batteries in it. For 1000 bucks. It looks like it’s gonna burn up in your garage.
The battery is UL certified, so no it won't burn down your garage
I remove the battery from my Ebike and store it in a lipo bag, just a habit from my years with RC stuff
do you know what a UL certification is?
@@Tom-ol5zz In Chinatown it means a cute sticker that makes consumers smile and feel safe. Safety Standards watt dat?🤔
😂
Do you only review bikes given to you? It seems like you're only reviewing Velotric lately, and Velotric has left thumb throttle, and tiny batteries. I like they are lower weight bikes, but come on. Get on them for the crap things. I'd rather buy a Victrip off Amazon, if I was going for budget bike!
Velotric is actually a good brand for a starter ebike. I have a nomad and other than having 25mph top speed (and not 28mph) I have no complaints. I much favor a well tested battery ul listed battery like velotric's over a minimally tested large capacity battery that could spontaneously explode during charging. Just buy an extra battery for long trips.
I mean 13ah isnt that bad for a first ebike. Thats 80 km of range at 25kph
He reviews bikes that companies pay him to review. Welcome to CZcams
The 440 lb weight capacity matters for some people as well.
