With the beginning of each new year comes announcements of product launches in every category. The folding bike niche is always one of the more interesting niches for new designs. This year is no different as you will see with these 7 folding bikes below.
BTWIN Fold Light 1
Btwin Fold Light 1 is an all-new 16″ wheel commuter folding bike. With large levers for quick folds, the Fold Light 1 can be unfolded in 1 second. Similar in appearance to a Dahon CURL i8 the Fold Light 1 features a patented auto-locking hinges, 9 speeds, and weights 26 lbs.
Heybike Tyson
Yes, this is the Heybike Tyson which was selected as CES 2023 Editors Choice by The Manual. The Heybike Tyson is a 750W, full-suspension folding e-bike made with a magnesium alloy unibody construction. Featuring theft protection with GPS tracking you will definitely want to be on this list when this e-bike becomes available.
Yadea Innovator
Yadea Innovator is another foldable e-bike designed for the urban commuter. The design is unique with single-arm front and rear forks to keep a minimal design. The Yadea Innovator also has some interesting features such as a 350W Torque Tronic mid-drive motor, hydraulic brakes, and an easily removable battery.
Lectric XP Trike
As if Lectric eBikes didn’t have a full plate from all their e-bike launches last year they launched another folder to start out 2023. This time an electric folding 3-wheeled XP Trike. They state this trike is a result of an outpour of thousands of consumer requests seeking a third-wheel option. We don’t doubt it given the huge success of the three wheel motorcycle category.
Qualisports Dolphin Plus
Qualisports Dolphin Plus came to market towards the end of last year. This year Qualisports will be marketing its flagship folding e-bike. Features include a dual battery option, 48V seat post battery, and an upgraded 500W hub motor. Our favorite choice for 2023.
ICOMA Tatamel
The ICOMA Tatamel also received lots of attention at CES 2023. What makes this folding e-bike unique is that it unfolds into a desk. We can’t do this whole e-bike concept justice in this paragraph so head over to their website to check out their vision.
