Rad review! I'm using this bike as a 2nd e-bike for family and friends on the beach. I live in a beach town that has hills and e-bikes are essential. The portola keeps up w my Murf Alpha for my friends n fam to ride alonside.

for a folding bike you need to show how it folds up and if it stays in place. some bikes unravel when folded which could be an issue while putting it in a trunk or while in the trunk while a car is making turns. others lock well folded up and some don’t. for me i see two categories: power with dual motors, which end up being super heavy. or lightweight, single motor for versatility on portability. but tough to get a full idea with how it packs up. otherwise it’s a good review on overall use.

I should’ve included a bit to show how it folds. But this bike does fold down very compact and has a special strap to keep it folded so it doesn’t flip open while moving it around. A pretty smart design idea and it works well. This is definitely in the lightweight category and is pretty easy to move anywhere you need to

Possibly the Duotts c29 but I prefer 29 inch wheels.

0:01 What is the brand of its brake? That high-pitch noise would be annoying me.

[@MeedersPEVS]

The brakes are a no name brand but are really high quality. Honestly one of the best points of this bike. I didn’t properly bed my rear brake which is what is causing the bit of squeal on the back. I should be able to clean my rotor and get it quiet again. My front brake is totally silent though.

I'm 5 feet woman will it be a strain for me to hold unto the handles

[@MeedersPEVS]

Not at all ! This bike is definitely on the smaller side and the handles are very close to rider. My girlfriend is 5’2” and she is very comfortable on this bike

Not a bad review except the part where you ran the stop sign. Bikes are also required to obey the laws of the highway.

[@MeedersPEVS]

I understand but I am also riding the bike in my small town with very little traffic. Any of the stops I go through I can clearly see up the both sides of the street. If im unable to see or see any cars I always stop
