We know that a folding bicycle, simply put, is a bicycle that can be folded and similarly, an electric bicycle is a bicycle that is powered by a battery. So, what’s a folding e-bike? You guessed it! Foldable bicycles that are powered by a battery driven motor are known as folding electric bicycles. These bicycles are portable, compact and offer the rider extra power assist from a battery driven motor. Being foldable and compact means that they can be easily stored in the safety of one’s own home or under one’s desk at the workplace without consuming much space - thus eliminating the stress of it being stolen or damaged when left unattended.
