The folding e-bike offers an excellent solution here. In this article, we explain the advantages of having an e-bike folding bike on board and present the MYVELO Zurich and MYVELO Berlin models as ideal companions.

Why a folding e-bike on the boat?

practicality and space saving

A folding bike is particularly space-saving and easy to store, which is invaluable on a boat. In contrast to a conventional bike, it takes up little space and can be folded up quickly and easily when needed and stored below deck or in a storage box.

efficiency and flexibility

A folding e-bike offers the perfect combination of mobility and comfort. The electric support makes riding easier, especially when you dock in the harbor after a long boat trip and don't want to exert yourself too much. With sufficient range thanks to electric support, you can easily explore the surrounding area, do some shopping or visit sights.

environmental friendliness

Compared to other means of transport such as a rental car or a scooter, the folding e-bike is more environmentally friendly and contributes to environmental protection. It does not cause any exhaust emissions and is almost silent.

Alternative means of transport in the port

Of course, there are other ways to get around the port. The most common alternatives include:

rental car

A rental car offers the advantage of being able to cover longer distances comfortably. However, finding a parking space in crowded ports and cities can be tedious and expensive. In addition, a rental car is not always the most environmentally friendly option.

scooters

A scooter is a compact and fast way to get around. However, it requires petrol to run, which incurs additional costs and is harmful to the environment. It also takes up less space than a folding bike.

Public transportation

Many ports offer good connections to public transport. These are often cheap and environmentally friendly. However, you are dependent on the timetables and flexibility is limited.

MYVELO Zurich and MYVELO Berlin: The ideal companions

MYVELO Zurich

The MYVELO Zurich e-bike folding bike is characterized by its robust construction and high performance. With a powerful 250-watt motor and a long range, it is ideal for longer trips. The 20-inch wheels offer a good balance between riding comfort and compactness. Thanks to the simple folding mechanism, the Zurich model can be stowed away quickly and easily.

MYVELO Berlin

The MYVELO Berlin folding e-bike offers similar advantages to the Zurich model, but is slightly larger and has a low step-through. Here too, the 20-inch wheels ensure a comfortable ride and the bike can be folded up compactly. The Berlin model is perfect for extended exploration tours.

Conclusion

A folding e-bike like the MYVELO Zurich or MYVELO Berlin is the ideal companion for all boat owners who want to remain mobile and flexible in the harbor and its surroundings. It combines the advantages of space saving, efficiency and environmental friendliness and is an excellent alternative to other means of transport. Whether for short trips to the nearest supermarket or longer trips in the surrounding area - with a folding e-bike you are always well equipped.
