Berlin electric folding bike

Anyone who can do without public transport these days is happy to do so. At rush hour it is extremely crowded, buses and trains are often late and the other passengers can really get on your nerves. What a wonderful alternative the folding bike is. You are flexible, do something for your health and get out in the fresh air. You also save stress and money by using a folding bike. The long lifespan of the folding bike makes the investment well worth it, even if the models are a bit more expensive than traditional bikes.

A folding or collapsible bike is basically of interest to every group of people. Whether you are a schoolchild, student or working person: these bikes are ideal for commuting, as they make you mobile and can be taken anywhere at the same time. Anyone who lives in a big city and has problems finding a parking space also benefits from the space-saving bike. There is even a space in the narrowest stairwell and in the smallest apartment. And even those who neither commute nor live in a city may want to go on a city trip on vacation and not be dependent on public transport or a rental car. Here too, folding bikes are the perfect alternative, which can also be easily stowed in the trunk. This saves you having to buy a bike rack in the back or on the roof of the car, which can also hinder the journey. The environmental aspect is also not to be underestimated: folding bikes and their electronic variants are environmentally friendly alternatives to all types of motor vehicles and at the same time less expensive. In summary, a folding bike is suitable for anyone who would like to enjoy the freedom and mobility of a bicycle while avoiding the bulkiness of one.

On public transport, passengers must also buy a ticket for their bike before they can take it on the train. This is where folding bikes have a big advantage: when folded up, they count as luggage and can be taken on the bus and train for free. There is also no risk of having to stay outside despite having a ticket for the bike when everything is packed at peak times. There is always some space for a folded mini bike.

The Stiftung Warentest electric folding bike test also looks at the weight of various folding bikes. This plays a key role for many buyers, especially if the folding bike is to be used on the train or bus or if it has to be carried on the back from time to time. E-bikes are significantly heavier than normal folding bikes due to the integrated motor and battery. When choosing the right bike, the cost of the folding bike must also be taken into account: particularly light models are more expensive than the slightly heavier ones, so it is worth considering how important a particularly low weight is. Will the bike be used and carried every day? Then it is worth investing in a lightweight bike. Do you only go on holiday with the bike twice a year? Then a few extra kilograms may be bearable. The MYVELO Berlin weighs 24 kg.

When it comes to the frame, the material used plays a major role in the weight and stability of the electric folding bike. Carbon frames are the lightest and highest quality, but also the most expensive. Aluminum frames are a little heavier, but still lighter than steel frames. The cost of the electric folding bike plays a role here, but so does the weight to be transported. Most electric folding bikes can carry a weight of up to 120 kg, the MYVELO Berlin can carry up to 130 kg. Luggage must always be included in this. For the electric folding bike to last a long time, it is important that the maximum weight is not exceeded. The height of the electric folding bike is also somewhat more limited than with normal bikes. The bikes are usually suitable for a body height between 150 and 195 centimeters; anyone taller will quickly get back pain.

Most folding bikes do not have suspension. The reason for this is that space-saving is the highest priority. An electric folding bike should first and foremost be as compact as possible. Therefore, most models do not have any suspension at all. This makes such a mini bike somewhat unsuitable for rough terrain. As far as the saddle is concerned, the variety is just as great as with normal bikes. Basically, the saddle on an electric folding bike can be replaced and adjusted just as individually as on models without a folding function.

The Road Traffic Licensing Regulations specify exactly how a vehicle must be equipped in order to be registered on German roads. These rules naturally also apply to an electric folding bike. Unlike a motor vehicle such as a car, an electric folding bike does not have to be registered, but it must still be roadworthy. Otherwise, you risk a fine and, in the event of an accident, your insurance may not pay out. The Stiftung Warentest electric folding bike test tests folding bikes in many categories, but very few bikes are roadworthy straight away. You should therefore pay attention to the following points and upgrade them if necessary before you start riding your new bike:

• doorbell

• Brakes

• Proper lighting

In general, the tires on electric folding bikes are smaller than those on normal bikes. The smaller the diameter of the tires, the smaller the folding dimensions. Acceleration is also better with small tires than with large ones. However, handling suffers with small tires and loss of control is greater, especially at high speeds. Therefore, one can generally say: For cyclists who cover short distances on their electric folding bike every day, for example for commuting, smaller tires with a diameter of around 20 inches are ideal.

The folding size probably plays the most important role in relation to the dimensions of the electric folding bike. Ultimately, it is all about having the smallest possible folding size to save space. The costs tend to be higher if the dimensions of the electric folding bike are particularly small. However, since the differences are usually only a few centimeters, it is important to carefully weigh up the benefits and costs. The folding size of the MYVELO Berlin is 87 x 38 x 80 cm (LxHxW).

The motor can be mounted at the front, middle or back of an electric folding bike. All positions provide a different riding experience. The centrally installed motor contributes to a particularly natural riding experience, as the weight is distributed optimally. It is located directly on the crank and is therefore part of the bottom bracket. Anyone who rides an electric folding bike with a centrally installed motor is most likely to have the feeling of riding a normal bike.

If the motor is installed at the front of the bike, the riding experience is usually unusual at first, as the weight is at the front. For short trips through the city, an electric folding bike can be a cheaper alternative to the other two variants, as this technically simple variant costs significantly less money than a bike with a mid- or rear-wheel motor. However, this model is less suitable for sporty bikers.

Rear motors are installed on the rear wheel, which are located directly on the hub. This variant has significantly more traction than the other two. But an electric folding bike with derailleur gears can also have a rear wheel motor. Motors that are installed on the rear wheel shift the center of gravity of the two-wheeler to the rear, which ensures a high level of riding comfort. All three variants have their advantages and disadvantages. So consider carefully which one you choose.

Anyone who decides to buy an electric folding bike should also find out about the battery and its range. The best way to compare the performance of the different batteries is to use the watt-hour (Wh) value. This value can be calculated from the volt and ampere hours (Ah) (volt*Ah=Wh). At first glance, it looks as if lithium-ion batteries are superior to lead batteries. Ultimately, however, the decisive factor is which battery has the highest watt-hour value. The position of the battery in the electric folding bike is also important for performance. Ideally, it should be installed as low and as centrally as possible in the electric folding bike, because that is where it has the least negative effect on handling. The range of the different batteries depends not only on the watt-hours, but on several factors:

• Driver support

• terrain

• Weather

• Tire pressure

• Rider weight and luggage of the electric folding bike

These factors determine the range of an electric folding bike, which can vary considerably and is usually between 40 and 100 km.

As far as gears are concerned, electric folding bikes are available with derailleur gears and hub gears. While normal gears with a chain are cheaper and work well, hub gears are of higher quality and therefore more expensive. They are worth it if the mini bike is subject to greater use. For normal commuting between work and home in the city, a derailleur gear is usually completely sufficient. A derailleur gear contributes to a sportier riding experience than with hub gears. If you are planning to travel or go camping, an electric folding bike with a durable hub gear might be an option. Investing in a more expensive gear system can also be worthwhile for a city trip, especially if the terrain is very hilly. In this case, it is also important to have a folding bike that has lots of gears, which make riding on hilly terrain easier.

High-quality workmanship naturally plays a major role in the comfort and safety of electric folding bikes. This is reflected in the lifespan of the electric folding bike and can be seen, for example, in the electric folding bike test by Stiftung Warentest. Not only the frame should be of high quality, but also the folding mechanism itself. It should consist of several hinges that mesh smoothly and, ideally, be equipped with a double lock. The pins for securing the unfolded frame should also be integrated into the mechanism so that they cannot be lost. The brakes on the electric folding bike should also be of high quality.

As a rule, an electric folding bike weighs between 20 and 30 kg, so while it is not exactly as light as a feather, it is easy to carry on your back. In the trunk of a car, the electric folding bike is very economical in terms of weight and size and leaves enough room for additional items of luggage.

The mini bike with the folding mechanism is not suitable for off-road use. The lack of suspension makes a tour over rough tracks a bumpy and unpleasant affair. An electric folding bike does not perform as well as other models in races either. The special frame and the small wheels lead to a greater loss of control at high speeds than is the case with a racing bike. Another, albeit minor, disadvantage is the time you have to invest in folding and unfolding. With most models, this should be done within 10 seconds, but ideally you should have a little more time available.

It is a tiresome topic that every cyclist, whether occasional, hobby or commuter, should be familiar with: Where do you put your bike when you are not using it? Often you are faced with the problem of a lack of space. Whether on the train, on the bus, in the car or even in front of the supermarket or your own apartment. Space is limited and often has to be shared with strollers, wheelchairs and other bicycles. Especially if you decide to rely on cycling, this circumstance can be the deciding factor that makes you reach for your car keys again. The advantages of cycling cannot be denied. The electric folding bike provides a solution to this dilemma. It is so handy that there is still a little space for it practically everywhere. This gives it a clear advantage over classic bicycles, which are often more bulky than they seem at first glance.

The folding mechanism of modern electric folding bikes is based on a simple principle in most models. The bike can be folded up so that the front and rear wheels fit together perfectly. This is done using hinges that are located on the folding frame in the top tube, in the middle or just in front of the seat tube. Mechanical locking of the frame parts prevents the electric folding bike from becoming unstable. The hinges themselves are by no means a weak point in the frame; on the contrary, they stabilize it even more than is the case with a normal bike. This means that the frame can easily bear its own weight and that of the rider and luggage.

No matter whether you are young or old, a recreational cyclist or a commuter: the MYVELO Berlin electric folding bike is suitable for anyone who is looking for a time-saving, active, comfortable method of getting around in the hustle and bustle of the city or in the countryside. Seniors and people who are restricted (whether due to allergies or heart, knee or back problems) benefit in particular. The electric folding bike enables flexibility and independence, even in old age. Motorization brings people (back) to mobility by bike. You also increase your radius of action. From now on, hill climbs are no longer an obstacle for your tours and you arrive at work neither sweaty nor rushed, but relaxed and comfortable. A practical electric folding bike is truly worth its weight in gold, especially in everyday life, which is often stressful and tightly scheduled. It can be folded up in less than a minute and then transported, for example, in the subway or in your own trunk.

Of course, senior citizens and people who are restricted in their mobility for various reasons also benefit from an electric folding bike. Transporting shopping is no problem thanks to the luggage rack and a standard load capacity of 130 kilograms. Even heavy shopping can be done and transported by bike. While previously the stamina of a nice bike ride with your grandchildren bursting with the urge to move put a stop to your plans, you can now get going. The MYVELO Berlin electric folding bike puts an end to various obstacles and enables an active, flexible and independent life.

It should also be mentioned that – contrary to a widespread prejudice – it is not only senior citizens who benefit from motorization. The electric folding bike makes everyday life easier and opens up new possibilities for people of all ages. Anyone who rides an electric folding bike benefits from the multifaceted advantages of this means of transport and at the same time trains their stamina, strength and fitness without great effort – despite all the clichés. More and more die-hard cyclists are also turning to an electric folding bike more often.

Aside from the innovative technology, the MYVELO Berlin electric folding bike also impresses with its other features, with pure functionality and finesse, which ensures an incomparable riding experience. The brown comfort handles, for example, fit perfectly in the hand and provide the necessary grip even on bumpy rides on gravel paths. The gel saddle in the same color guarantees maximum riding comfort on the electric folding bike. You always sit comfortably both on the way to the office and on longer bike tours. The frame geometry, optimized according to the latest scientific findings, with its excellently thought-out construction also ensures great comfort, easy handling and a high degree of agility in every situation. The electric folding bike also has extremely stable wheels, which of course also meet our and your highest standards in terms of quality and riding comfort. If you ever ride through a puddle with the MYVELO Berlin electric folding bike, for example, the splash guards attached to the front and rear wheels protect your clothing from unsightly stains. Speaking of tires: The built-in tires of the 20-inch electric folding bike fit seamlessly into the other durable elements of the electric folding bike and impress with low wear and long durability. A practical and important additional plus point. The light and at the same time compact bike impresses with its surprisingly large standard load capacity of up to 130 kilograms. Accordingly, you can use the bike to transport shopping bags or luggage, provisions or picnic bags, for example, if you are on an excursion.

To protect the riders of the MYVELO Berlin Pedelec, an energy-saving, long-lasting and efficient LED light is attached to the frame at both the front and rear. The brake light also ensures maximum safety. In poor light, poor visibility, late evening or night rides and foggy winter days, the LED lights not only allow you to see the road and the route ahead better, but above all you are more visible to other road users and from a greater distance. Commuters in particular, who often ride home from work in the dark, benefit enormously from this accessory and can feel safe in traffic in the evenings thanks to the luminosity.

While the LED lights ensure optimal visibility and visibility of the rider even from a distance in rainy weather, two 160 millimeter Tektro disc brakes on the front and rear wheels ensure optimal grip for reliable and safe braking. Due to the above-average surface pressure, the braking performance of such disc brakes is very strong in wet conditions and on slippery surfaces. In addition, the rims are protected because they no longer wear out, do not drag on the brake and do not overheat on long descents and downhill routes in the mountains. This form of braking means that not only the rims but also the brake pads are very durable and guarantee grip and safety. Another advantage of disc brakes, which women and weakened or elderly people in particular benefit from, is efficiency. To achieve the same braking effect as with normal rim brakes, 20 percent less hand force is sufficient. In addition, the light weight of the disc brakes is beneficial to the suspension comfort. With the 160 millimeter Tektro disc brakes, you can rely on a comfortable and safe response even in dangerous and tricky situations in the often hectic and confusing traffic. This prevents avoidable, potential accidents. The brake levers of the folding bike are very durable thanks to the aluminum alloy. All elements of the MYVELO Berlin electric folding bike are easy to care for, robust and show only minimal signs of wear even with frequent riders.

This undoubtedly includes the 7-speed gear system from Shimano. It doesn't matter whether you're riding on a paved road, in the forest or on a gravel path. It ensures optimal adaptation of the handling on all surfaces. This particularly easy-care and low-maintenance hub gear system from the Japanese bicycle component manufacturer Shimano, which has long been established in the industry, can withstand dirt and even the electric folding bike falling over thanks to its robust design. It impresses with its extremely low susceptibility to failure and low wear. The gear system also impresses with its elegant and high-quality appearance and an above-average range of gear ratios.

Another safety-relevant element of the electric folding bike is the safety folding lock. This keeps the handlebars in place even if a screw should become loose, so that nothing can come loose. This ensures a reassuring feeling of safety when riding at all times.

In addition to its attractive appearance, the MYVELO Berlin also impresses with its inner values. Modern technology, the latest innovations, the use of the best materials and sophisticated solutions ensure a high-quality, durable and powerful electric folding bike that also enables a comfortable and safe riding experience. Do you love cycling, enjoy exploring nature and especially the mountains on two wheels, but the climbs have always been a torment for you? The MYVELO Berlin electric folding bike now puts an end to this daunting restriction. The completely maintenance-free and robust 250-watt rear hub motor provides enough power. With the powerful drive, even mountainous terrain is no longer an obstacle. The durable and reliable motor reaches top speeds of up to 25 kilometers per hour and masters mountain climbs, flat stretches, curves, asphalt paths and pulsating stop-and-go traffic with no problem. The motor offers enough support to cover even longer distances in a short time. While you used to have to end your tour because the climb was too steep, the MYVELO Berlin is where the fun on the mountain really begins. You benefit from the power of the motor not only in your free time, but also on the way to work. If you have previously wasted valuable time in traffic jams or got on smelly, overcrowded subways every day, this inexpensive electric folding bike offers you the opportunity to make the daily journey from home to work stress-free, quickly and comfortably on two wheels. The advantage over riding a non-motorized bike: You arrive at the office quickly and not sweaty and you can be active early in the morning without getting into the high pulse range (not even on climbs). It is simply fun to enjoy the driving experience and feel the envious glances of annoyed drivers and rushed "normal" cyclists. Both in their free time and in everyday life, people of all ages benefit from motorization and the resulting reduced physical exertion as well as flexibility and mobility. Another plus point: the electric motor integrated into the luggage rack blends in almost seamlessly with the attractive overall appearance of the bike.

The 250-watt Bafang motor is powered by a powerful lithium-ion battery with a nominal voltage of 36 volts and 14 Ah. This has an output of an incredible 504 Wh, but despite its concentrated power, it does not look bulky, just like the motor. In fact, the electric folding bike battery is surprisingly difficult to see in the generally very light and maneuverable folding bike pedelec. Although you can get quite far with an above-average range of 50 kilometers, if you run out of energy and the pedelec battery is empty, it can be easily, conveniently and simply recharged either at public charging stations or at home at a domestic socket before you can start again at full power. Of course, such a high-quality lithium-ion battery is included in the scope of delivery. Its motor efficiency is up to 80 percent, while the nominal speed is a remarkable 300 revolutions per minute. This type of battery has established itself as an energy storage device in electromobility due to its low weight. They guarantee a high degree of durability and safety.

The affordable MYVELO electric folding bike Berlin impresses with its high-quality and simple design. While the frame is in a stylish, timeless and neutral anthracite, a classic brown tone with a leather look adorns both the handles and the comfortable gel saddle. This gives the ultra-modern electric folding bike a noble and traditional look that attracts attention both in the city and in nature with its striking understatedness. Furthermore, this model combines an attractive appearance with functionality, power and sophisticated details to an inimitable degree. The powerful and durable electric folding bike battery integrated in the luggage rack with a range of up to 70 kilometers is built almost inconspicuously into the already very maneuverable, elegant and light bike, which sets it apart from e-bikes that often appear clunky and bulky. The robust workmanship of the bike, which is built from the best materials, does not have a negative effect on its appearance thanks to sophisticated and efficient arrangements. Rather, the handy electric folding bike conveys lightness and flexibility as well as robustness and reliability.

High functionality, attractive design, long range and lots of riding fun.
