I considered numerous models and made my final selection according to user reviews, manufacturer specs, and expert opinions. I gave each finalist foldable e-bike an overall rating and score based on the following criteria:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"block-b42fb330-d1e1-44cb-9ad0-ccb526c555b6\"><strong>Design<\/strong>\u00a0<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-f3950a2d-013b-40e7-8029-3f1fef5abcd4\">Foldable bikes must be easy and quick to collapse into a small enough profile to fit in a car trunk or office corner apartment space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"block-6ee3947e-35bb-406d-9365-778f43b972c8\"><strong>Ride feel<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-f960a924-514a-40f3-ae68-9f6f46ebd30d\">The best foldable bikes also feel great on the road. Larger-diameter wheels, a reliable motor, and hydraulic disc brakes are high on the wishlist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"block-6c6e00c4-86db-408e-b09d-1aded4fa4ab8\"><strong>Value<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-619483ec-4247-433a-86d9-29fecab80b71\">Foldable bikes are helpful for people who are often on the go.

To my eye, its compact yet sleek silhouette and tan sidewall fat tires enhance the bike\u2019s aesthetic, setting it apart in an otherwise crowded marketplace. Under the surface, the Sinch boasts similar power and battery specs to other competing models and comes in at a solid $1,499 price point (with a current $100-off sale).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Sinch\u2014 aptly named for its compact and foldable profile\u2014 is available with standard or step-thru geometry. I like the look of the step-thru version better, and there\u2019s the added benefit of it being easier to mount and dismount, especially for riders with limited mobility. The front suspension fork provides 45mm of travel to smooth out bumpy roads and float over city potholes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A key function of the Sinch is its ability to collapse to fit easily in car trunks, apartments, or office corners. It utilizes the traditional foldable design with a hinge and handlebars in the middle of the frame. The 20&#215;4\u201d wheels are large enough to roll fast while still being small enough to fold down small\u2014 there\u2019s a useful kickstand beneath the pedal to prop up the bike when folded. The lack of hydraulic disc brakes and weight of nearly 70 lbs. causes the Sinch to miss out on full marks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Curious cyclists may learn more about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.333fab.com\/how-to-adjust-bike-brakes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">adjusting bike brakes<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.333fab.com\/bicycle-handlebars\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">bicycle handlebars<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A 500W rear hub motor peaks at 750 watts and has a top speed of 20 mph. Riders can toggle between five levels of pedal assist and a thumb-actuated throttle mode. The battery has a capacity of 14Ah which isn\u2019t the highest in the industry but offers a decent range given the compact size of the bike. The battery is neatly hidden inside the downtube and hooks up to a color display that can link to the Aventon mobile app, a major plus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"inherit-container-width wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"margin-top:2em;margin-bottom:2em;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px\">\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">RATING<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\"><table><tbody><tr><td>Design<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">&nbsp;5\/5<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Ride feel<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">4\/5<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Value<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">&nbsp;5\/5<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">OUR VERDICT<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Competitively priced foldable e-bike with an attractive aesthetic and quality specs.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\" style=\"margin-top:2em;margin-bottom:2em;padding-top:0em;padding-right:0em;padding-bottom:0em;padding-left:0em\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"margin-top:0em;margin-right:0em;margin-bottom:0em;margin-left:0em\">&nbsp;Most Versatile Foldable Ebike<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px\">2.

The RadExpand 5 comes fully loaded with all-terrain fat tires, a rear rack, fenders, and integrated lights so you can ride this bike just about anywhere. In the city, space is at a premium, and this bike\u2019s foldability allows riders to transport or store the versatile two-wheeler easily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The RadExpand 5 is only available with a step-thru frame design, and I think that\u2019s the right choice. The black and white color scheme and additional features give this bike more of a rugged appearance in contrast to the Aventon Sinch\u2019s bolder paint job and sleeker profile. This model folds in a similar way and is a bit lighter. However, the mechanical disc brakes and less sleek silhouette drop my overall rating slightly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This foldable e-bike wins out with its impressively powerful 750W rear hub motor. That\u2019s 50% more powerful than the Aventon Sinch, so you can easily make it up hills and reduce motor strain on steep gradients. The RadExpand 5 has four-pedal assist levels instead of five and includes a twist throttle for on-demand speed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most noticeable elements of the e-bike is the externally-mounted battery underneath the seat. It\u2019s a smart and out-of-the-way placement of the 672Wh battery pack, but I, like many other e-bike riders, favor integrated batteries hidden inside the downtube. It\u2019s a matter of personal preference, though, and many users won\u2019t be bothered by the external battery\u2014 the added benefit is that it\u2019s easier to remove for charging off the bike.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The RadExpand 5 comes ready for almost any type of riding, from city errands to off-road exploring. While accessories can always be added later to any bike, this comprehensive package has a useful rear rack, fenders, and lights to hop on and ride simply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"inherit-container-width wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"margin-top:2em;margin-bottom:2em;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px\">\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">RATING<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\"><table><tbody><tr><td>Design<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">5\/5<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Ride feel<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">4\/5<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Value<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">4\/5<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">OUR VERDICT<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Versatile fat tire e-bike that folds down small and comes with a powerful motor.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\" style=\"margin-top:2em;margin-bottom:2em;padding-top:0em;padding-right:0em;padding-bottom:0em;padding-left:0em\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"margin-top:0em;margin-right:0em;margin-bottom:0em;margin-left:0em\">Best High-End Folding Electric Bike<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px\">3.

This model is a significant step up from the Aventon Sinch and RadExpand 5 in terms of componentry quality, but those upgrades come with a big jump in price. The Tern P9 costs $3,699, which is competitive compared to other premium foldable e-bikes, but could be beyond the budget of some riders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The defining characteristics of this city ebike are its foldability and cargo-carrying capacity. A compact cargo bike may seem like an oxymoron, but Tern has achieved a great balance in serving busy urban riders who need to conserve space. The P9 doesn\u2019t fold in the middle of the frame but at the handlebar stem\/steerer tube area. The seat tube is designed to be shorter, and the 20\u201d wheels keep the bike\u2019s footprint to a minimum.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re searching for electric mountain bikes instead of foldable e-bikes, check out our roundup of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.333fab.com\/best-budget-electric-mountain-bikes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">best eMTB models <\/a>on the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Perhaps most importantly, the Tern P9 is the only bike with a mid-drive motor on this list. Mid-drive motors are higher quality than rear hub motors and help preserve a bike\u2019s natural center of gravity for better handling. The P9 relies on the Bosch Active Line Plus 250W motor\u2014 that wattage may seem low, but its premium quality ensures a reliable and ultra-smooth ride. Pedal assistance tops out at 20 mph, and the range can reach upwards of 60 miles on a single charge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Other premium foldable e-bikes at REI include the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rei.com\/product\/191465\/brompton-electric-c-line-explore-folding-bike-mid\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Brompton Electric C Line Explore<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rei.com\/product\/187357\/tern-vektron-s10-folding-electric-bike\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Tern Vektron S10<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s an extended rear rack to carry large items, and the battery is mounted neatly underneath. One big difference is the narrower tires that measure 2.2\u201d. This makes the bike more agile and rolls faster over smooth surfaces, a key advantage on city roads. The P9 weighs a respectable 56 lbs. which is excellent for a motorized cargo bike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"inherit-container-width wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"margin-top:2em;margin-bottom:2em;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px\">\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">RATING<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\"><table><tbody><tr><td>Design<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">5\/5<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Ride feel<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">5\/5<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Value<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">3\/5<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">OUR VERDICT<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Premium foldable cargo electric bike that\u2019s worth the splurge.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\" style=\"margin-top:2em;margin-bottom:2em;padding-top:0em;padding-right:0em;padding-bottom:0em;padding-left:0em\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"margin-top:0em;margin-right:0em;margin-bottom:0em;margin-left:0em\">&nbsp;Most Affordable Cargo Foldable Ebike<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px\">4.

Priced nearly $1,500 cheaper than the Tern HSD P9, this model doesn\u2019t come with as premium of components but is an excellent value. The Abound is a creative solution for riders looking to replace car trips or shuttle their kids via e-bike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An upgrade from the Aventon Sinch, this bike is powered by a 750W rear hub motor with a top speed of 20 mph. There\u2019s no throttle mode, but there are four new pedal assist levels: eco, tour, sport, and turbo. I also appreciate the inclusion of a torque sensor for smoother power delivery. A color LCD display compatible with the Aventon mobile app is at the center of the handlebars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Regarding safety features, the Aventon Abound Ebike has powerful hydraulic disc brakes that provide excellent stopping power even at high speeds. The bike also features a bright LED headlight and taillight that help riders stay visible and safe while riding at night or in low-light conditions. The taillight also functions as a turn signal to indicate your next move to other motorists and cyclists on the road\u2014 cool!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Abound has an extended rear rack and wide footbeds for carrying cargo or small passengers. Aventon also sells many accessories so riders can customize their setup to their needs\u2014 items like front racks, seat pads, baskets, and handrails.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An extra savvy feature is the integrated storage bag behind the seat post that fits ride essentials. It\u2019s a great use of additional space due to the elongated frame and fits well with the bike\u2019s profile. There\u2019s also a dropper post lever to adjust seat height on the fly and easily collapse that part of the bike during storage. The Aventon Abound Ebike is an excellent entry-level electric bike that offers exceptional performance, comfort, and style at an affordable price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"inherit-container-width wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"margin-top:2em;margin-bottom:2em;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px\">\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">RATING<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\"><table><tbody><tr><td>Design<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">4\/5<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Ride feel<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">4\/5<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Value<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">4\/5<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">OUR VERDICT<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Well-priced <a href=\"https:\/\/www.333fab.com\/best-electric-cargo-bike\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">cargo electric bike<\/a> that\u2019s partially foldable and compatible with many customizable accessories.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\" style=\"margin-top:2em;margin-bottom:2em;padding-top:0em;padding-right:0em;padding-bottom:0em;padding-left:0em\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"margin-top:0em;margin-right:0em;margin-bottom:0em;margin-left:0em\">Most Affordable Foldable Ebike<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px\">5.

This bike is designed to be lightweight and easy to fold, making it ideal for those who need to transport their bike on public transit or store it in a small apartment or office.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The over-the-top model name is a bit cringe for my liking, but I\u2019m willing to see past the \u201cswaggy\u201d branding because of the affordable price point. With that lower price, however, come some cost-saving measures, such as rim brakes and extra small wheels, which remove a few points from my overall rating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the standout features of the Swagtron Swagcycle EB-5 is its lightweight aluminum frame, which weighs just 37 pounds. This makes it one of the lightest foldable e-bikes on the market, and it&#8217;s easy to carry or maneuver when folded. The bike also features a powerful 250-watt motor that can reach up to 15 miles per hour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another great feature of the Swagtron Swagcycle EB-5 is its ability to fold to a compact size in just a few seconds. This makes it easy to store in a closet, under a desk, or in the trunk of a car. The bike also has a convenient carrying handle that makes it easy to transport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Overall, the Swagcycle EB-5 is an excellent choice for anyone who needs a compact and versatile e-bike for commuting or urban riding. Its lightweight frame, powerful motor, and easy folding design make it a top choice for those who want a bike that is both convenient and practical.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"inherit-container-width wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"margin-top:2em;margin-bottom:2em;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px\">\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">RATING<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\"><table><tbody><tr><td>Design<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">3\/5<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Ride feel<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">3\/5<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Value<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">4\/5<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">OUR VERDICT<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Affordable foldable e-bike that collapses down small yet has lower quality parts.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"block-5079a3f6-d1b2-4cd2-807a-c420b715d5e2\">How to Choose the Best Folding E-bike<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-579e5a3d-a9cd-47b6-a043-c5cef7886141\">Choosing the best folding e-bike for you depends on several factors. Here are some things to consider when making your choice:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"block-05821f3a-013f-4547-888c-20f2c7913c4b\">Folding Mechanism<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-c13f5ca7-df96-448c-8197-584d5f10987c\">One of the most important factors is the folding mechanism&#8217;s ease of use and durability. Look for a bike that folds and unfolds quickly and easily and has a strong and reliable mechanism that will last over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\" id=\"block-ace130cb-b011-40f1-85d1-119289a9cc98\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.333fab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/image3-1.jpg\" alt=\"image3 1\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">RadExpand 5 folding electric bike folded up. <em>Rad Power Bikes<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"block-8bbb70a0-1423-4211-91aa-80a5d2676b23\">Weight<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-e8774b6e-a66c-4c57-927d-6de2029c75e0\">A lighter bike will be easier to carry and store, but a heavier bike may be more stable and comfortable. Give thought to your own strength and the weight capacity of the bike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"block-58ed7fc8-35be-43aa-82f0-a654b03f0ae4\">Battery Life<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-d4908973-a258-47a9-813b-aff3dbdca6c6\">Look for a bike with a battery that will last long enough for your needs. Consider the distance you plan to ride and the battery range of the bike, as well as the charging time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"block-fe03916a-a500-4215-8bc4-8ac36a66d21a\">Motor Output<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-5f52d1be-ad25-4412-8dda-2db88c1e0999\">Check the power output of the motor and the level of assistance it provides. Look for a motor that will help you get up hills and travel at a comfortable speed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"block-d43fdeb1-8f8f-45e4-97f5-ab7d714294c2\">Wheel Size<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-4a115561-0b92-45b1-ae1e-dc35a387147c\">Larger wheels generally provide a smoother ride and better stability, while smaller wheels make the bike more compact and easier to store. Reflect on the terrain you plan to ride on and the level of stability you need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"block-7e45d6aa-bdaa-42f6-aae4-fb21b3c53de7\">Price<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-c9280f37-43f0-46c5-a226-4c863486a0d7\">Ebikes vary greatly, so consider your budget and the needed features. Keep in mind that a higher-priced bike may have better quality components and last longer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"block-0bf5d5d3-1a23-432a-b48d-dc67ae3228c3\">Final Thoughts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-16da84c7-5be4-4eea-a4c2-fc10c8483e3a\">Folding electric bikes are a game-changer for urban commuters and adventure enthusiasts.
