I’m riding a GoCycle G4i as my daily commuter, 13 miles a day. At my age and general level of fitness, I’d never have got back on a bike without it. Everything from the auto gear change to the weight and fold ability works for me. I know it’s expensive but it has replaced my car. I love it.
For you, it was value for money.
You're welcome to This official page?
Great list , thank you! I've ridden a Brompton, (featured here, a Raleigh and a MiRider one and I opted for the MiRider, just absolutely loved it so much I ordered two, one for me and one for the Mrs!! Such great value and wonderful to ride. Should be ready for collection in a couple of weeks and I can't wait!!
If you're after something that's actually more genuinely budget and good for local run around stuff Decathlon 500E has been working for me as my first foray into ebikes.
20 inch wheels, about 12 miles range on highest level peddle assist, easily add a rear rack or front basket, and removable frame battery. Folds up small enough to go in car easily for local adventures in new places which is how I use it 😊
TILT 500E

Kugoo Kurin V1 for me all day long! It folds, 48v battery, 400w, stunning design, intergrated battery.It cost just £550 new and tears up tarmac at 28 mph like no other bike!
Great review as usual.
I just bought a G4i. A dealer had a demo with 30 miles on it for $3099. I had been watching this model, as my first folder was a ProdecoTech Phantom, and I now have the Sondors Fold and Smart Step Fold...neither are very portable. Also, I had high expectations, currently owning a Stromer ST2S, Optibike, Bulls w/Brose&Gates&Nexus8, A SWB Lightning Phantom that I converted to electric, a Trident Trikes E-Spike, and the new (Halifax made) Samurai Premium. With these high expectations, the Gocycle delivered. I mean, Traction Control?! Zero visible cables? Bluetooth? Crazy lightweight? Yep, I am impressed!
Trying to decide what bike with a limited budget so helpful video.
I liked the look of the RAD range but note that according to their website, they are quitting the European market at the end of 2023.
This program accurately discusses the Fiido D3 Pro while showing footage of Fiido L3. Both are brilliant bikes, but quite differentiated.
I was just about to say that. The L3 has a 350W motor, twice the range, is heavier and has a throttle. Which is fine in the UK, as long as you have a motorbike licence, register it and tax it. Which makes it nearly pointless.
@@jonevansauthor You can register throttle bikes in UK? Well lucky you. I'd love to be able to do that on the continent :/
Trying to replace my car commute with an ebike, but without throttle it is not feasable. And since I DO want to pedal, and just have a throttle as a backup on off days and to prevent/decrease sweating, emopeds are not my 1st choice in an ideal world.
So you described it correctly, NEARLY pointles, but there are individuals crazy enough for it too :)
@@MarkizVonSchnitzel apparently you can do it but it sounds like a lot of work just to get a cross between a moped and an ebike.
Honestly if it's that powerful I'd probably be far too nervous to unleash it :D I've fallen off a mountain bike at speed half a lifetime ago and I'm definitely not keen to repeat it, especially not in my 40s :D
I'm sure the DoT will get right on sorting out our legislation for ebikes and scooters any decade now. It'll be easier in the future, probably about the time I get that Vietnamese pot-bellied pig with functioning wings.
Yes I also noticed she is riding an L3 in the video rather than the D3 Pro!
Love the Estarli. The Volt Metro is great too. I can't decide! Lol
I’d recommend the eovolt bikes, I have an afternoon, it’s 20” wheels are lovely and the ride is great!
🤙🏼⚡🤙🏼
but *says Hoover of vacuum cleaners, shows Henry instead of Hoover* 😂
Bike 2 looks pretty good but £2k 👀
BMX handlebars on bike 5 though 🤩
Loving your e-bike reviews @Eilis 😊
Will you be reviewing the Estarli E20 Play and the Mycle Compact Plus soon?
Thanks 🙏🏼
The Brompton is in !
You should have shown how well they all folded !!!
Enjoyed your humor not bad Brit.. Good editing 1st, time viewer.
You didn't mention folded dimensions on any of these. For me, the first question is, does it fold to under 85cm? I.e., can I take it as hand luggage on the Eurostar under their ticket regulations? I went for the Volt SE Metro in the end, and don't regret it. The Brompton is compact, but I wouldn't get a bike with a front wheel motor, for safety reasons.
Another great video, any chance you could do video on your top 5 European branded fat tyre foldable e bikes
I'm surprised none of the Tern models made your list. Tern seems to be focusing more on their utility/cargo folders now but you could easily still get a great Link or Verge model, add your own power assist & still be under 2000 pounds. Far better value than some of the bikes shown in this video.
Tern vektron is a great folder bike fantastic 25kg rear capacity too which means you can carry a kid or lots of stuff
And a Dahon Unio
You're welcome to This official page?
Have MiRider One for 2 years now. Bike is not durable long term (spokes break regularly) but the company sort you out no problem. Would I get another one today? Probably not...its a rebranded/modified Onebot s6 and if your battery goes its a nightmare to ride dur to the small wheels and weight.
“Throttlelicious” should be a human compliment.
I like the hidden drive line of the Gocycle but the super compacts are ti me what city ebikes are about. I'd go Brompton long distance.
I’m looking for a folding electric bike that fits in my car and rides good on gravel paths in the country. most folding bikes seem designed for commuting on smooth roads. Any recommendations 🙂
I like Eilis!
Could you please recommend a folding bike for older women who is less than 5 foot?
FYI: The estarli, and most of these types of folding bikes, require the seat tube to be lowered all the way, so the bike rests on the end of the seatpost and NOT on the bikes chainring. The chainriing will get damaged otherwise. I would know about these types of folding bikes, as I own a few electric and non-electric folders (Dahon, Qualisports, Tern, Fiido).
PS: You reviewed the Fiido L3 as #6, NOT the D3 Pro. I own the L3, I've unlocked the speed (I'm in the USA, so 20mph is legal, and the motor is 350w here). Great little bike (I call it the "boat anchor because it's so heavy). The D3 Pro is fantastic, but I love the Fiido L3.
I love the L3, it's the only affordable bike that can give me the 15 - 25 miles I need for work
Ellis Could you do a review on a good for distance including hill’s folding bike’s. You should include the British built include the Dali gridge Oxford, which I suspect may come up trumps. As a caravaner I need 2 folders that do more mileage than the usual commuter, sometimes we do 40 miles in hilly National parks 14 miles each way is not enough. Hurry I’m also impatient. x Simon
We’ve loved our Bromptons and over ten years travelled with them from Alaska to to southern tip of New Zealand and many, many places in between. This year we electrified them via Swytch and what fun we’ve had in UK this summer going much further from home (mostly pubs)! Trouble is, it’s spoilt us as ordinary pedalling is now very dull as we have to take them un-electric on planes as we did to Australia in September. We’ve ordered the ‘flight safe’ Swytch’, backwards compatible battery (giving limited range) and hoping will be here before next long-haul in January. Allegedly at distribution centre now.
Do you have the old version of the switch or the new slim line batteries and what’s your opinion between the two if one may ask , I have a Brompton 65 now a was looking for a little help and because the system is. Not cheap was wondering if it’s any good.
@@kavanobrien6547 our Swytch are from one year ago, so second round of funding. The ones in a canvas cover. We went for the higher range option and the Brompton stem mounting kit that uses the bag mount block. The latter 100% worth it as keeps battery low and off handlebars. A possible compromise on this is that altering the power level is difficult and dangerous if not stationary. In reality power is rarely adjusted mid-ride.
I’m easily 100kg and with mid to lower power settings 30 miles is possible on a full charge if not ultra hilly.
The trickiest part of the set up was on the cadence sensor. Positioning slightly awkward and the instructions ambiguous as you need to swap bits on the pedal element as it comes assuming non-Brompton. I was ready to give up but my wife persevered 😂.
The good thing getting the kit is that if you already have a decent Brompton this gets you an electric one still backwards compatible to non-electric. So if our flight-safe battery does not arrive before next Oz trip early January I will swap the wheels back again to save weight and possible drag. Hope this helps you or others. Message if I can help further.
@@weircottage Very kind of you too give your time but still somewhat confused if your system is the older type the batteries being a square block or the new ones where the battery is like a mobile phone size and these one you can take on a plane because they have range of 15 km or 3o km price obviously more depending on the size of battery but both look like size of mobile phone , I think you have the older version which is as you said has a canvas cover ,but thanks for your time if you do find any feedback on the newer system could you pass on thanks take care and thanks again.
@@kavanobrien6547 exactly. The ‘mobile phone’ size ones ordered in July and allegedly at uk distribution centre. Hoping to get within 4 weeks so I can take to Oz in early Jan.
@@weircottage trying to find a review on the new ones , but if you’re getting one then maybe if I’m lucky you can give me your verdict which is best or which is better, hope your trip goes well and thanks for your time, take care.
Has Maria Sharapova changed her job to bike review?
So what's the price of that last Fiido one please
Do those exposed cables on the E20 not get in the way?
Never mentioned the fabulous Fiido d4s?
What is the issue with vans + adidas?
Nice 👍🇬🇧
But the Fiido bike in the video is L3, a long range model.
Which is best as an entry bike, ideal for a commute around 18-20 miles to and from work? Need a folding bike in case I need to get a bus/tram in the winter months.
I’m sooo stuck 👀
I commute about that much miles in NYC for work. The only compact and affordable bike that works for me is the Fiido L3. She mentioned it's Fiido D3 but the bike in the video and what she rode is the L3 model. You really just need to get better tires and seat and it'll be the best investment for a bike you'll make!
No fiido D2 mentioned 😥
Nit-picking here; serious breakage means it breaks easily, and there is no such word as brakeage or brakage. Serious braking is when it brakes well. Forgiven, of course.
Carbo X is the best. Lightest, fastest, most range. I have a GoCycle too and it just collects dust now that I have my Carbo.
I watched your video and liked it but you’ve got the price wrong with the Gocycle G4i as it’s £5,000 when you put this video out. Yes they do a cheaper one which is the G4 ,but you did say the G4i is £4,000. It was £4,000 but the price changed in 2021 November. With the price change you now get muggaurds and rear and front lights included.
Consumer tip: these companies should add an internal tracking tag
*The only thing I like about the Brompton is that it fits in my little Mazda 3 trunk ... and that's about it.* I have a bad back and knees, when I tested it I had no issues but after buying it riding for longer distances it proved to cause much pain. If you are old and have such issues or don't want any future issues ... stay away from all 16' and smaller inch wheels. They are very uncomfortable for long distances riding. *Also, after owning it for a while the Brompton is nothing but a bunch of hype ... they don't even use any special parts, only a steel frame, heck it doesn't even have disc brakes, for the price I paid for it ($2000) it should have the top of everything.* It's nothing but a high price piece of junk, and if you want an electric you will pay double and more depending model. *It's absolutely ridiculous, I like to sell it but my reputation is more important than ripping somebody off!* For including the Brompton I should give this video a TD, but I'm just too dam nice ... but I won't give it a TU either ... just because you included the Brompton.
Do a best fat tire foldable reviews
The memes are tier 1 lol
Would be nice to see a review of the new switch kit compared to the old version obviously if you have time between the new hairstyle and tan.
Never a bike with front wheel motor - I tryed on rainy day and that wasn't good experience.
The fiido d3 pro I know looks different
Hey Electroheads. This is legit?
Umm what about the tern s10?
It was in consideration, but lost a lot of points for value for money
ado air a20? or fiido x? thanks
Definitely the ADO
@@Electroheads Any specific reason why or just generally built better? just want to make 100% sure I make the right choice
That go-cycle would be a magnet for Bike thives in London especially a woman it may in fact increase your chance of being robbed literally when you are riding it .
... Fido X V2?!
#6 is Fiido L3 not D3
If you are old and weak, a folding electric may be to heavy for you to lift into your vehicle, check weight before you buy.
For price quality reliability RAD!
DECENT
Uk only guys
I'm not judging but at 10:45 the whole credibility of this video fell apart when you drawed my attention to the fact that you are wearing unmatched socks and shoes 🧦👟 I would never have noticed otherwise, now it is the only thing that I will remember of this video 🤣🤣🤣
Ohh laundry,yes,
That amazing behind is clickbait 🥵
Eilis, you look like a cross between Maria Sharapova and Blake Lively, all gorgeous women...love you !
This girl is just really tall I bet 😢😅
250 watt motor …really? not worth it.. motor, single gear and tire size..too small
16 in wheels too small looks like a clown bike.
the compact neo blows these garbage bikes away.
Badly produced episode ' but it's OK because we have a pretty presenter not.
gocycle overrated and overpriced.
I've been riding this bike for about a month ruclips.net/user/postUgkxwC0IIeIomGQVeBWg-kKJaToZkLEFIA2W and a half now and I think it's fantastic. It helps me get to work on time every day since I'm able to fit it inside of public transportation rush hour. The price is great too, people are always shocked when they ask me how much I paid for the fold up and I tell them "200". It's easy to fold and installation when it ships is insanely easy. All you have to install when the bike arrives is one foot pedal, everything else is done for you. I do recommend you carry some sort of wrench to tighten any loose screws on the handle bar and seat whenever they get a little bit loose. Other than that I think it's a fantastic bike. Easily fits in the home, can fit inside a car trunk and can even fit in subway rush hour.
