In general, it is of course an advantage if an e-bike folding bike weighs as little as possible so that it can be transported without any problems. However, the distribution of weight also plays a crucial role.

The high-quality e-bikes from MYVELO offer you maximum riding pleasure with low weight. Our electric folding bikes impress with their solid workmanship, but are still very easy to transport.

Lightweight yet stable: The MYVELO E-Folding Bike Zurich

In addition to a high-quality and simple look, the MYVELO electric folding bike Zurich is characterized by its particularly low weight of only 17 kg. With this lightweight model, it is of course no problem to carry the bike in the city, on public transport or up several flights of stairs.

This is mainly due to the aluminum frame, which offers a high degree of stability and robustness. In everyday life in particular, things often have to be done quickly. In these cases, it is good if an electric folding bike can be folded up or folded up in just a few seconds.

Of course, a lightweight MYVELO folding e-bike can also be easily transported in a car, bus or train.

Advantages of a lightweight e-folding bike: The weight of the battery also influences the total weight

The battery is also partly responsible for the weight of an electric folding bike. Modern lithium-ion batteries, such as those used by MYVELO from manufacturers such as Samsung, are characterized by their low weight and high energy density.

Most batteries weigh no more than 2.8 kg - or even less. When buying a battery, it is important to choose the right one depending on the intended use. For example, if you primarily ride your bike in the city, a battery with an output of 300 or 400 Wh is often sufficient. For longer tours or more demanding routes, however, it is recommended to choose a battery with no less than 500 Wh.

Important when buying: Be sure to pay attention to the permissible total weight!

What role does the weight of an e-bike play in everyday life?

Transporting a folding e-bike in everyday life can quickly become a real challenge if you don't take the weight into account when buying it. This is especially evident when obstacles such as stairs have to be overcome.

Therefore, before you buy it, you should ask yourself whether and how often you want to carry the electric folding bike. For example, if you often travel by train and use the e-bike at the same time, you need to be able to fold it up quickly and carry it several meters without any effort. If you often have to climb stairs when commuting, the bike should be as light as possible.

The weight of the electric folding bike: The most important tips for easy transport of the e-bike folding bike in everyday life

Below we present you with some tips that will help you stay mobile even with an e-bike.

Proper Wearing

If you have to carry the folding bike up several steps, make sure you have the correct posture. To lift it, it is best to bend your knees slightly and keep your back as straight as possible.

To do this, tense your abdominal and back muscles. Ideally, the bike's center of gravity should be near the middle of your body. By the way: the battery can also be removed and carried separately in your backpack. Then the bike will immediately be a few kilos lighter.

Use barrier-free paths

Especially in public buildings such as train stations, there are often barrier-free accesses to platforms or other areas. So, if possible, use the escalator, a ramp or the elevator to transport your e-bike.

Choose an extra light folding e-bike right from the start !
If you choose a particularly light electric folding bike right from the start, you are doing yourself a favor - and in the long run. Because if you ride your bike every day, you will quickly be grateful if the model you choose does not weigh more than 20 kg.
