2021Buying Tips: Best Folding E-Bikes
- 1
Test the folding mechanism yourself. A good folding bike should fold and unfold in under 30 seconds without tools.
- 2
Weight matters more for folding bikes. If you need to carry it up stairs, look for models under 50 lbs.
- 3
Smaller wheels (16-20 inch) fold more compactly but ride rougher. Consider your typical riding surface.
- 4
Check hinge points for wear on used folding bikes. These are the most stress-prone areas and the most expensive to repair.
