Electric mobility is in full expansion and is reaching more and more sectors. One of those that is already more than established in our society is electric bicycles. For many users, especially urban users, the most suitable option is foldable and compact alternatives, which facilitate storage and transportation when not in use.
Until not long ago, this type of electric bicycles were only associated with short trips around the city. However, this concept is beginning to change with the arrival of novelties such as the Fuell Folld-1, capable of surprising for different reasons and offering capabilities that clearly exceed what one would expect from a small conventional folding electric bike.
One of the objectives when designing this proposal has been to combine utility and fun, which is why it has been designed for both urban streets and country trails far from asphalt. The Folld-1 features an innovative magnesium alloy frame and rides on 20-inch, 4-inch wide tires.
The manufacturing of the vehicle is designed to offer great resistance. This is combined with the presence of a front suspension system and a rear suspension system to guarantee a smooth and comfortable driving experience that allows cyclists to move both at a leisurely pace on the asphalt and to move to a more dynamic pace, for example , when facing irregular terrain.
In terms of power, the Folld-1 comes equipped with a 250W Bafang electric motor that generates 85Nm of maximum torque. This motor is powered by a 720 Wh Samsung battery that is integrated into the frame and is capable of offering a maximum range of electric pedal assistance of no less than 110 km.
It should not be overlooked that the aforementioned battery is removable to facilitate recharging and that it is compatible with fast chargers, which allows you to recover from 0 to 80% of the battery in just 4 hours and reach up to 100% in total of 6 hours. These figures are more than adequate for those who use their bike to go to work and can recharge it during their work day if necessary.
In terms of aesthetics, the electric bicycle has a sporty and urban look, and its frame has been designed with a balance between its resistance and its lightness. The manufacturer has achieved a weight of 33.75 kg, which may seem high for a conventional folding alternative but is very reasonable for a model that offers the real versatility of the Folld-1.
Its foldable design allows it to be easily transported in the trunk of a car or stored without taking up much space in a storage room or even in a corner of one's home. As for price, this electric bike costs 2,495 euros, although at the moment it can be purchased for an introductory price of 1,995 euros.
