Folding E-Bikes and EVs Are a Perfect Match!

Love this! Amazing e-bike & very versatile. I can’t believe how fast it is to unfold and start riding.

I'm making this comment before watching. Will watch and may comment again. This looks like a really cool option for many, especially those wanting to visit areas where e-bikes are allowed and/or useful, especially national parks and such (where allowed, I've no idea about what the rules are at say, the grand canyon or the petrified forest.). I guess I feel about e-bike batteries the way many people feel about EV batteries. I generally don't leave battery-powered devices in my car (not even my go-pro) on hot days. Call me paranoid and granted this was anecdotal, but have you seen the video of that gentleman spend his last moments with the e-bike battery in the elevator? Maybe in a few years, e-bike batteries will be as safe as those monitored and managed in my 2023 Model Y by Tesla's excellent BMS, but for now it's not an option in my playbook, and by then I'll possibly be too brittle-boned to consider an e-bike option. :(

I like Brompton folding bikes. Expensive, but quality and 40 year history.

[@iowatesla]

Good to know. There are lots of choices out there.

[@Milhouse77BS]

@@iowatesla yes, a lot more than when I got my first e bike 20 years ago

OK.... didn't see anything to dissuade me from clinging to my wariness of ebike batteries. Thanks for doing the review, it'll be interesting to see how these fun mobility devices improve over time. You didn't mention the battery chemistry, NCA? NMC? LFP? M3P? LFMP? Just curious. If I ever do own one of these it will have the safest battery chemistry available, in other words, neither NCA nor NMC, for sure.

I have a 20 inch Riese and Muller Tinker. It's not foldable though and I'm trying to figure out what kind of hitch bike rack to get for it with my Model 3. Any ideas?

[@screamingiraffe]

Terrible for an e-bike but I'm not quite sure as a 'foldable' e-bike. I definitely would not have chosen that particular model or brand.

[@iowatesla]

Care to elaborate?

My EV takes 30 minutes at a super charger..Would take longer than that to get the bike.out..unfold it and ride..Super chargers charge you extra for the time you spend there after 90%..no thanks

These videos have got to be fake..I got one of these..what a POS..Bolt holes don't line up...seat post was too big to go Into frame. Rear tire wast seated into the wheel...bike is at bike shop..hopefully they can get it to point that I can ride it...BTW CUSTOMER SERVICE IS USELESS..
