E-Bike Folding Bike & Electric Folding Bike

In recent years, electric folding bikes and folding bikes have become a real trend, as they allow for particularly relaxed and effortless biking like no other type of bike. 🚀 E - folding bikes are equipped with an electric motor, such as one from Bosch, Shimano or Bafang.

This is particularly beneficial for older people with limited mobility. But even those who often travel hilly routes and still don't want to take the car will find an electric bike a good option.

It is particularly practical if it is an e-folding bike, which offers even more advantages in everyday life. It can be folded to half its size in just a few seconds and can therefore be easily taken on public transport or in the car without the need for a luggage rack or additional support.

How suitable are 20 inch folding bikes for travelling?

Would you like to travel with an electric folding bike so that you can always be mobile at your destination? With its small dimensions, it fits easily in the trunk of your car or behind the driver's seat.

It is just as easy to take it with you on public transport such as trains or buses. Thanks to the powerful electric motor, you can cover 70 km or more with minimal effort. This way, you can of course enjoy much more mobility: for your daily commute to work, you can easily cover part of the journey by train and then switch to the electric folding bike that you are carrying with you - or vice versa.

When you arrive at your destination, you don't have to leave your folding e-bike outside unattended, you can simply take it with you into the building. You can conveniently place it next to your desk or even underneath it - so you can always keep an eye on it and no one will be disturbed by it.

Which other group of people benefits from electric folding bikes?

Seniors and young people with limited mobility in particular benefit in many ways from the support of a powerful electric motor. An electric bike is definitely an advantage, especially if you have to cover longer or more demanding distances every day.

Do you live in a very hilly region that makes it a challenge to cover long distances? Then you can either struggle with a normal trekking bike or make it much easier with a folding electric bike. Rest assured, you will discover cycling in a completely new way that is really fun with the innovative models from MYVELO!

Which electric bike is right for me?

An electric folding bike or folding bicycle is a major purchase. To ensure that you choose a model that you will be 100% satisfied with, we will present the most important criteria in more detail below.

What is the correct frame and wheel size for folding bikes?

Depending on your height, we recommend that you choose the right frame size and height for your electric folding bike . This is always given in inches.

While bikes with a size of 12 to 16 inches are best for children and teenagers, as an adult you should buy a 20-inch e-bike or even a model with an even larger diameter. In general, of course, these values ​​only apply to folding bikes.

They always have slightly smaller wheels so that they can be folded up and transported as easily as possible. Most people therefore opt for a 20-inch e-bike, which offers both riding comfort and functionality.

Sizes such as 24 inches , 26 inches or 29 inches are not common for electric folding bikes, but are of course common sizes for trekking e-bikes and e-MTBs . The reason for this is that with a rim size of 24 inches or more, folding bikes would simply no longer be handy enough when folded up.

What do I need to consider regarding speed and performance for my Pedelec?

In Germany, the law stipulates that electric folding bikes must have an output of 250 watts and a maximum speed of 25 km/h. All manufacturers, including us at MYVELO, must adhere to this so that you can travel safely on the road.

So there are no major differences between folding bikes and folding bikes on the market. It is just important to know that if you want a higher performance or maximum speed, you will need a driving license. You can of course ask our competent team for more information or read about it here in the online shop and in the MYVELO blog .

What other important functions are important for an electric folding bike?

A solidly built, high-performance electric folding bike or folding bike does not have to be overpriced. MYVELO offers a large selection of high-quality and flexible models in the online shop. All of our models are characterized by a wide range of functions, excellent riding comfort, low weight and easy operation. So you have everything you need for a relaxed trip with the electric folding bike in everyday life.

The maximum range of an e-bike folding bike indicates the distance you can cover with a full battery charge. There are big differences, especially with electric folding bikes, which is why it's always worth comparing. Some bikes only reach 30 km, while others can do more than 100 km. The manufacturer's information does not always correspond to reality, which is especially the case with cheap bikes.

Which factors influence the battery range of a 20 inch folding bike?

There are a number of factors that have a significant impact on the range of an electric folding bike or folding bicycle . Weather conditions, for example, play a key role. Cold weather and headwinds lead to increased motor performance, which of course puts more strain on the battery.

The type of route to be covered is also relevant. If you are mainly travelling in mountainous terrain, you will demand more from your motor than someone who only rides on flat terrain. Last but not least, your own weight and the load should also be taken into account. Make sure you choose an electric folding bike that is as light as possible to make progress easier. The Rio model from MYVELO impresses with a 750 Wh battery.

What does the mid-engine have to offer my electric folding bike?

Most electric folding bikes and folding bicycles have a mid-engine that is part of the bottom bracket and is located directly on the crank. This positioning has the advantage that the weight is distributed optimally and the center of gravity is in a particularly low position.

What role does the folding lock play on electric folding bikes?

Folding bikes use different folding mechanisms, more about this in the folding bike test . Last but not least, it is an advantage in everyday life if the folding lock on an e-folding bike is as easy to use as possible. We at MYVELO therefore make sure to only install double-secured folding mechanisms, with which you can operate the lock more securely.

In recent years, more and more electric folding bikes have also been developed as so-called fat-tire models , which are equipped with 20-inch tires and promise you maximum stability when riding.

Which accessories are recommended for your electric folding bike?

To ensure that you are both comfortable and safe when riding your electric folding bike or folding bike , you should not do without the right accessories.

First and foremost, this includes good theft protection if you have to leave your electric bike unattended for a few minutes or hours. We recommend a high-quality frame lock to secure your bike to a fixed object.

For maximum comfort when using an electric bike, you should opt for comfortable, breathable functional clothing right from the start. Special cycling clothing is usually made of high-tech materials that quickly wick sweat away and are often even windproof and rainproof. Gloves and rain pants for the cooler seasons as well as cycling glasses ensure that you are well equipped for any weather.

How important are comfort parts for the daily use of my bike?

If you ride your electric folding bike or folding bike every day, a comfortable saddle is the most important thing. Comfort is often not a given, especially with poorly manufactured products, so investing in a quality product is definitely worth it. Modern folding bikes like those from MYVELO have high-quality GEL saddles and GEL handles, which ensure a lot of comfort even on long journeys.

For the way to work or university, it can be useful for you to put your shopping, extra clothes or other things in a bike bag. Often there is not enough space on the luggage rack for this. If you have to carry a lot of items with you every day, a suitable bike bag , unlike a luggage rack, will protect them from cold, wet weather and provide enough space for them.
