Bicycle rack for the car - no longer necessary with the E-Bike folding bike

It can no longer be denied that mobility is changing: nowadays there are countless alternatives to normal bicycles and cars - if you want to get around in an environmentally friendly and yet fast way, you can opt for a small bicycle instead.

With a folding e-bike, you don't need a bike rack for your car, as it is much lighter and more compact - and can easily fit in your car. Below, we'll explain in more detail why it's worth choosing a folding bike instead of a bike rack.

What are the advantages of a folding e-bike compared to a bike rack?

The best thing about it: an e-folding bike fits easily into any trunk - you can even fit it safely in a small car. This is ideal for traveling, because you are mobile even at your destination and can explore the area much better than on foot or by public transport.

For this reason, more and more people are using such folding bikes to get to the office and back home: You don't have to leave the bike outside, but simply place it next to your desk, for example, and you can be sure that it won't be stolen.

This shows that you don't necessarily have to use a normal bike to be active: you can also get around healthily with an e-folding bike - just with a little motor support for longer or steeper routes. High-quality e-folding bikes such as the myvélo folding bike impress with a robust frame and low weight, making the bike an easy-to-transport companion in every situation.

Folding and unfolding the bike takes just a few seconds, and then the bike is ready for use. However, in order to use the motor support, the e-bike's battery must be charged. All you need is a power outlet.

Without a doubt, buying an electric folding bike is particularly worthwhile for people who live in the city and want to get from A to B quickly. In places where space is often at a premium, it is only an advantage to keep your belongings as compact as possible. What's more, electric folding bikes are much more flexible than public transport - you can get anywhere in no time at all.

Folding bike instead of bike rack: Is it the climate-friendly alternative in the city?

Nowadays, more and more areas in city centers are being closed to cars - pedestrian zones are growing and the network of cycle paths is also being expanded in most cities. Reason enough, then, to become aware of the advantages of an e-bike folding bike. An electric folding bike like the MYVELO folding bike is an environmentally friendly, emission-free alternative to a car - especially because you can get around quickly and very flexibly with them.

One of the biggest advantages of a folding e-bike is that you can cover longer distances effortlessly: routes that you previously only used a car for can now be easily covered with an e-folding bike thanks to the integrated motor. If the energy you use to charge your e-bike also comes from renewable sources, you are making a valuable and important contribution to protecting the environment - every day.

How much does a folding e-bike cost?

The price range for e-bikes is large - this is also the case for foldable models. Good models such as the myvélo Zürich are available in our shop from around 1,500 to 2,500. The Zürich and Palma models impress with high-quality and lightweight materials and cost up to 2,500 euros.

One thing is certain, however: the one-time purchase costs for a foldable e-bike cannot be compared to those for a car. If you then add in insurance, petrol and maintenance costs, it is immediately clear at first glance that a foldable e-bike is the cheaper solution. Especially if you live in the city, you are much better off with a motorized folding bike like the myvélo Rio folding bike.

What should you pay attention to when buying a foldable e-bike?

If you are interested in buying an electric folding bike, you can now choose from a wide range of models. If you want a folding bike with an electric motor, you should think in advance about which aspects are most important to you. Is it important for you to have as little weight as possible? Should the bike take up as little space as possible when folded up? What distances do you want to cover with it - and how often?

One of the advantages of a folding e-bike is of course that it has a small pack size. If you often travel longer distances, the model should also have a powerful motor - such as the myvélo folding bike.

If you plan to carry your folding bike around a lot because you want to take it with you on trips or on public transport, the weight should be as low as possible. The lightest models weigh just over 15 kg and are therefore very easy to transport. The myvélo model Zurück also impresses with its lightness.

If you have already done a bike rack test, it quickly becomes clear that a foldable e-bike is usually the better choice. However, before buying, you should check whether the model you want can be easily folded up and opened again. Since myvélo stands for quality, you don't have to worry about folding fasteners with us.

Is a folding e-bike a sensible investment?

Nowadays, there are almost endless options for getting around the city or the countryside. However, if you want to enjoy more independence and flexibility without having to rely on buses and trains, an electric folding bike is the best option.

Compared to normal bicycles, you can move much faster and, thanks to the electric motor, you can be sure that you are making an important contribution to protecting the environment. However, it is important to choose a high-quality, well-made model that meets your individual needs.
