The Fold 1 might look like a toy, but it’s anything but.
Here’s what you get for a paltry $1149:
And it folds up into nothingness to fit into the boot of your car:
I like everything about this e-bike, except maybe I would have preferred torque sensing over the cadence sensing pedal assist provided with the Fold 1. That said, I have cadence sensing on my Himiway Cruiser and I really like it. Still, many, especially new riders, might find torque sensing to be more forgiving and a bit more natural.
So if you’re in the market for a small-ish size, folding e-bike, the Fold 1 is an amazing bike and value! And if you don’t believe me, the maybe you’ll want to check out John Bozick‘s review here: Velotric Fold 1 Review, 2024 | Cheap Junk or Awesome Value?
Spoiler alert – John writes:
“We loved the Electric Blue color of our test bike, and we think the Fold 1 is one of the best-looking folding e-bikes we’ve tested. In most cases, its performance was equally impressive. The bike’s Speed, Range, and Brake test results were particularly notable, with ideal – and sometimes groundbreaking – results. In terms of its foldability, it was largely effective despite some hiccups with the latch mechanism. And finally, its ride quality was first-rate when compared to other folding e-bikes we have tested.”
PS – If you haven’t already seen this, I wrote a post recently about the ‘perfect’ e-bike rack for your Fold 1 e-bike here: https://ratelectricbike.com/?p=973
It’s the Thule EasyFold XT 2-Bike Hitch Rack which can be purchased at REI for the low, low price of $850. Yeah, that’s a lot of money, but there’s no better rack for your Fold 1 than this!
Another rack to consider for this e-bike:
Kuat’s NV Base 2-bike hitch rack for $800.
