    Would love suggestions for a fold-able ebike with a shock absorber or soft rear suspension. I’m wanting to ride relatively flat dirt roads as well as paved bike trails. Soft on the bumps, good stability on unpaved trails. Recommendations are much appreciated.

  2. @waytruthlife66 on January 31, 2025 at 3:14 pm

    What about the WALLKE?

  3. @slardarov on January 31, 2025 at 3:15 pm

    Brompton electric самый удобный велосипед в мире!

  4. @wackit6756 on January 31, 2025 at 3:16 pm

    I’m glad for the reviews but a folding bike means lifting it, so it’s a fail that you only mentioned the weight of one bike as weight is a important spec. 🫤

  5. @willsu21 on January 31, 2025 at 3:17 pm

    Jasion?

  6. @Playpianokey on January 31, 2025 at 3:17 pm

    Most of us want to pay 500 or less for a leisure ride. You’re video targeted a higher level. Make a video for those who are the economy level for leisure like seniors and families. Thanks

  7. @seang2012 on January 31, 2025 at 3:18 pm

    Am I missing you didn’t show how any of them fold?

  8. @NewWorldOrder-xh3rz on January 31, 2025 at 3:18 pm

    Proper video
    Excellent presentation, thank you

    If i may ask , where is the belt drive ebikes ?

  9. @morrishernandez151 on January 31, 2025 at 3:19 pm

    Just curious as to why you guys brake test the bikes using only the rear brake. I have a Portola and with both brakes engaged at the same it stopped basically rigth where i was almost instantly.

  10. @bhhardgr01 on January 31, 2025 at 3:20 pm

    Really bad job here.. key is folding,which you failed to acess. How to fold and the dim. And ease of putting in back oh car…

  11. @vinnymccarthy3832 on January 31, 2025 at 3:20 pm

    So why are they 1000 for Black Friday ? Plz help

  12. @CycleRayinOK on January 31, 2025 at 3:21 pm

    I would like to have seen each bike folded up. Or a chart that quickly compared price/weight/range/speed (motor wattage)?

  13. @Valmontst on January 31, 2025 at 3:23 pm

    I am brand new to e-bikes, so hopefully this question won’t seem too dumb. They talk about how you can remove the battery to prevent theft, for instances such as when you are going into a store. So my question is this: couldn’t the person just steal the bike by simply peddling it?

  14. @nicksellberg6356 on January 31, 2025 at 3:23 pm

    thanks for the video guys! What are your thoughts on the Tern Vektron S10??

  15. @lilolotus139 on January 31, 2025 at 3:24 pm

    Could you guys recommend more affordable, foldable, adorable e-bike?

  16. @percivalgooglyeyes6178 on January 31, 2025 at 3:24 pm

    Aside from the Brompton, all those bikes are H E A V Y AF! What is the point of a folder if they are 55-80 freaking pounds?

  17. @Itsisawnotiseen on January 31, 2025 at 3:26 pm

    Over 2 minutes to get to the point. The Rad Expand is $2,099.

  18. @PurpleMrMojo on January 31, 2025 at 3:26 pm

    Hey guys, I have a great suggestion for your testing of foldable E bikes! Many people find lifting heavy E bikes, difficult and the size that they fall down to is extremely important when you have a smaller vehicle or multiple foldable E bikes. In this particular test compared to your other E bikes, it would be incredibly important to people like me to know the real world weight of each bike with the battery and how compactit folds up with actual measurements. Thank you so much for reading this and understanding the needs of many buyers looking for affordable E bikes as this information is often slightly difficult to get and it should be a major factor and what makes a great E bike.

  19. @majorbrighton on January 31, 2025 at 3:27 pm

    Very sad to see so many missing adequate mud guards. Also missing close up´s on the controls/triggers etc. Then their is that question of the rain,
    just how protected are they?

  20. @ConsigliereGaming on January 31, 2025 at 3:28 pm

    Thanks for the review. I have been looking at electric bikes, and this video helped answer a lot of questions that I have had.

  21. @SeymourKitty on January 31, 2025 at 3:30 pm

    Who won?

  22. @mgk_333 on January 31, 2025 at 3:30 pm

    What about the EUYBIKE K6 PRO??

  23. @efveedeebee on January 31, 2025 at 3:32 pm

    i understand what you say about why not to buy, but you have the batterys in the frame and you have the wider tires. This makes the bike bigger as neccesarily needed. there are bikes out there that have smaller tires, and removable batteries. i think that is a way better option.

  24. @rmarrow19 on January 31, 2025 at 3:32 pm

    The Velotric Fold1 didn’t make your list? Have you guys had a chance to test that one?

  25. @joshuamcnellis9865 on January 31, 2025 at 3:33 pm

    Gotax is garbage. So is the company

  26. @paulmiller-pt8vz on January 31, 2025 at 3:34 pm

    Sorry but I got a werhy 750watt ebike it is awesome and only 458dollars it’s fast and holds 265 lbs .

  27. @marklong8608 on January 31, 2025 at 3:35 pm

    The list seems very focused on heavy fat tire bikes. For me 50lbs max, closer to 40# better (Tern Vektron, Zizzo e-Forte), and ~ 2" wide tires are the sweet spot to retain the feeling that you are still riding a bike and not a beach cruiser. Once you get over 40# the number of folks that can heave these things into a trunk, RV, boat goes down rapidly.

  28. @user-et3sv7gn8f on January 31, 2025 at 3:35 pm

    I purchased two lectric 3.0 bikes one standard and othe step through in may this year and we have put 220 miles on them with riding on paved road to gravel trails and they handle very well. We have the standard battery which we get like 25 miles per full charge. We definitely want to get the long range battery it gets like 65 miles per charge which would be more than enough for us. The quality is great very well made. Customer service is great too.

  29. @Parker307 on January 31, 2025 at 3:37 pm

    What is with these "tested range" with so wide a range? Does that mean you tested the range twice and one time got the low number and one time got the high number?

  30. @1hjehje on January 31, 2025 at 3:42 pm

    I like the idea of a folding ebike, but I am not interested in the fat tire category. I would like to have one that is small and light as possible.

  31. @dannyjinkins4988 on January 31, 2025 at 3:44 pm

    That’s not electric fault you should have taken the bike inside or taken the battery out and brought it inside with you

  32. @kevin-hoppe on January 31, 2025 at 3:45 pm

    You should definitely take a look at CARBO e-bikes, especially the Model X. Ridiculously lightweight and compact, one of the best foldable e-bikes I’ve ridden and the after-sale service is very premium and caring

  33. @hambley55 on January 31, 2025 at 3:48 pm

    Which folding ebike would you recommend for a 6’4" man?

  34. @chaztech9824 on January 31, 2025 at 3:51 pm

    i bought the 4.0 which tech support says doesnt exist i bought the 3.0that never got to 20 mph now im waiting for the 2.0 extended

  35. @avroarrow9950 on January 31, 2025 at 3:51 pm

    Please include IP rating. If the bike is not suitable to be used in the rain its a problem imo

  36. @larsthorwald3338 on January 31, 2025 at 3:54 pm

    E-bikes…a great way to avoid exercise. Make sure to get one with a cigarette holder.

  37. @renanmukerjee788 on January 31, 2025 at 3:57 pm

    Thank you for this amazingly thorough review ! I am looking at purchasing a touring foldable ebike on a tight budget and I have a hard time seeing which one would fit !
    I want to take them on trains around europe and go bikepacking with them mainly on paved roads.
    I would need a bike able to hangle the weight a saddle bag for instance.
    Speed is thus much less important than range. I wonder how feasible it would be to pedal with those bikes without power given their weight. If you have any advice I would love to hear your thoughts !

  38. @ilovetopop on January 31, 2025 at 3:57 pm

    best one for sand (loose)?

  39. @DavidIknaian on January 31, 2025 at 3:59 pm

    I’m looking to get a foldable e-bike soon. The RadExpand 5+ is at the top of my list. In the video, you guys mention it being $1899, but it’s currently selling for $2,099. Do you guys know why it’s increased $200 since posting this video?

  40. @rebeccacapers-w5d on January 31, 2025 at 4:00 pm

    Have you looked at Mod Bikes?

  41. @Parker307 on January 31, 2025 at 4:00 pm

    I’m interested in how easy or difficult it is to change the tires on these bikes

  42. @12geneg on January 31, 2025 at 4:01 pm

    Why arent you talking or reviewing the Juice bikes like the JetCurrent Pro? I love my Juice RipCurrent S bike and the battery is better than any you have reviewed.

  43. @chaxologist2024 on January 31, 2025 at 4:03 pm

    I hope you review the upgraded Heybike Ranger S with 1000-watt motor and a torque sensor!
    Probably the best pound for pound folding e-bike out there!

  44. @troymartin4107 on January 31, 2025 at 4:04 pm

    What do you think about the Jupiter fold up st defiant

  45. @karenlewkowitz5858 on January 31, 2025 at 4:05 pm

    Surprised the Carbo x was not included 😢. It is one of the lighter weight bikes.

  46. @nullgator8073 on January 31, 2025 at 4:06 pm

    Why do they all come with fat tires, doesn’t that just make them weigh more which is the opposite of what a folding bike customer would want

  47. @williamfloyd-i9u on January 31, 2025 at 4:07 pm

    You do know anything about a grizzly CYKE?

  48. @BlakJak206 on January 31, 2025 at 4:08 pm

    My favorite part of this folding bike video is where you folded all the bikes.

  49. @rochrides8730 on January 31, 2025 at 4:11 pm

    Euy F6-b is best ebike under 900 bucks 48volt 20ah 70 mile range 32 mph top speed

  50. @jwebbw on January 31, 2025 at 4:12 pm

    I prefer a full-size bike and a bike rack and not a bike that a circus bear might ride.
