Cycling schema - best foldable electric bike

ito

Hi there!

Well, the title is quite clear. What foldable electric bike you think is the best under 2K?

Thanks in advance,

my better half bought one of these and is very happy with it:

main advantage is the bigger wheels compared to other folding bikes, still fold up reasonably compact.

Closer to 3k but depending on your use (mainly why exactly do you need the fold and how often will you fold it), I'd strongly suggest testing the Brompton electric.

Bikes like the one linked above and many foldable electric bikes are fine if your need for folding it is to store it in your house or take it in the boot of your car from time to time, but if you are folding it on a daily basis to bring on a train and into an office, they are heavy and large when folded so not that convenient

I ended up building one from a Tern folder and a front wheel electric kit. Much lower weight than anything else on the market at the time and it came in around €1,500. This was about six years ago and it's still going strong. I'd do it again.

Do you have a link for it? There are many models for that brand. I was thinking of a 2K max :?

20" is just what I am looking for, thanks!
Any recommended shop?

It is not a bad idea, but I would like to take advantage of the cycle schema, that is now 1500 for an eletric one
