    Good video, and I'm glad your folding bike main hinge uses the three step latch. I've seen a couple of simplifier latches come open while riding, one of them on smooth pavement, and the poor guy almost hit a pole! When I went shopping for an e-bike, it had to be class 2, have fenders and integrated lights, be tough, and fold. Wound up with a RadMini (yours was not available back then, AFAIK), and have been very happy. Fits in the hatch of my car like it was made for it, and after 3000 miles, it still brings a smile to my face.

    Nice vid, My favorite folding Ebike is the Tern Vectron S10 (first generation). After 5 years over 7,000 miles. This Tern Ebike has also been a great touring bike. The Tern is a 20" reasonably light folding bike. No bike rack required to transport this bike with my car or truck. This bike works on bus racks also on Amtrak passenger cabin racks. Really like how light this bike is for transport.

    The 2021 Avenger and Crusader are the best-looking fat tire folding eBikes I have ever seen. The 17.5 battery is a sure plus, and 330lb recommended weight sure would carry my big body around in style. $1599. how can you go wrong? I would put it in my RV to take with us on trips! If you made an Avenger or Crusader Trike, this would be perfect for my wife. At 70+ she refuses to ride for fear of falling, but I would say she would probably love a Trike. I know you have the Galaxy Trike, my wife says she would like one! Hopefully when you get them in stock they will have the bigger battery. Great bikes Kyle!

    I'm on my fifth folder. Only one broke (Asama), I just gave other's away when I bought a new one (or had one stolen). I have done long tours on them with no trouble. I very rarely need to fold them - I ride them everywhere. When I downsized and moved to a smaller city I used the Dahon folder as my main transportation (don't own a car). When I saw an electric folder at an excellent price ($850Cdn) I jumped on it. Where I live there are hills and constant winds and that justifies it. I have about 3500kms on it and have only replaced the chain and brake pads so far. Got some Schwalbe tires on order though for the Spring. I have two full-sized bikes I can use for touring but I am tempted. I know I can do 65kms on a charge with my 35 lb folder. Now I want a mountain bike electric!

    I commute all around the city. I Like that it folds and can take it to appointments. Wish it was a little lighter but got wheels now it’s like luggage.
    I also have the Mars by Hey Bike that only folds in half and is 500 wt with fat tires harder to maneuver but what a seeet ride.

    My only concern on the Safeway bikes would be how well the pedalling position is.

    Nicely presented. And first video where I got reassured about using it at 1.80m of body height. Fun fact here...clearly a video for Americans. Due to a lack of a boat or private plane these aspects never occurred to me. In Europe most people that get folding bikes get them because you can easily take them onto a commuter train, underground train or bus, where normal bikes wouldn't be allowed. And often even take it into a building so it doesn't have to be left outside.

    Getting an AMP Rides step through, finally, after several months of overseas shipping delays. Should be getting it within a week. Was going to get your foxbat, but at the time, they weren't in and you didn't know when you'd be getting more in. 😣 Anyway, the AMP Rides 'limited edition' folding step through is similar to the bikes in this video. This has a Bafang 1500 Watt motor and a large 52 volt 28 amp hour battery. I'm paying $2,099 for it. Wish you could do a review on this one. Curious to know what you think.

    Great overview. I have ridden folding bikes, mostly non-electric until last year, for many years and have found them to i greatly ncrease my riding options. Well made folding bikes can handle about anything other bikes can and are likely be be taken more places to ride them. I need to find out if an Avenger would fit in the trunk of my car.... Thanks!

    Much as I'd love the flexibility of a folding bike I absolutely adore the belt drive on my current daily commuter.

    I got a Heybike Ranger. It was about $1,400 for the bike and $500 for 2nd battery. The advertised max range No peddle is 40-45 miles, but I assume that's only in very specific situations like low throttle, light rider and flat surface. I'm able to get 20-25 miles range on max throttle no peddling and I'm 190 lbs. I can go about 25-28 mph on flat surface without wind resistance. I wish it had better acceleration, but it's probably good for most people. I got a foldable e-bike because my friend also got the same one and we can fit 2 of them in my Lexus GS350, 1 in trunk, 1 in back seat with seat covers. It's a tight fit but it works, we take the bikes to the beach to ride. Their customer service has been pretty great too. I originally bought 2, I had an issue with 1 and they let me send it back for a refund. I purchased another one and have been enjoying it. Heybike Ranger is a good entry level foldable e-bike. It's the best bike for price.

    In addition to being easy to travel with, I could store mine under my desk in my cubicle at work when folded instead of locking it up outside.
    It’s also much easier to navigate in and out of the tiny elevator at my dad’s apartment building due to its 20in wheels. So I pack my folder whenever I visit him.
    The only downside I’ve experienced, due to the small wheels, is top speed is lower than I’d like.

    @area 13 great vid. Was wondering if you can help me with a recommendation. I need my first e-bike for my small business.
    I need a foldable ebike for transporting such as putting in a back seat / trunk of a car. That’s it.
    I need a bike with good range whether stock or upgrading the battery to have a 30-45 mile range on city streets. I will be basically taking city street to certain locations and jumping into a car. Not sure if me pedaling can help conserve battery. I much prefer to be throttle majority of the way.
    I am about 5’11 and 170 pounds. So with me going on city streets , I would like the best possible suspension. Ride quality is a big thing for me since I’m gonna be on it for a while.
    Price is not the issue as I would much prefer a proven brand , not a knock off and with great reliability. It’s my first one but I want to get the right one as my livelihood depends on it lol .
    Thank you so much for taking the time to respond and help this noob 😅

      No it isn’t. I’ve ridden non-e folding bikes for many years. Finally at age 73 I need some help pedaling.
      I researched the crap out of them. The avenger is lighter, better equipped, sold by an American business, and reasonably priced. Also looks cool.Can you get a cheap one from Amazon or Walmart? Sure, with no name parts and no service if an issue arises. Yes, you’ll get a warranty from some guy in China. Good luck with that. Considering that you get a large battery, good speedo, rack, and other quality parts and somebody you can talk to, these bikes are fairly priced. Spend the money and cry once.
