Good review Steve. Thanks for the Christmas video! My only concern is that key hanging down. I don't know secure it is, so I would probably have to put a lanyard on it in case it dropped out. Merry Christmas Steve!!

Hi Kelly and thanks for your comment! I was also concerned about the key. Once inserted, there are two clicks which lock it in place. It's not going to fall out. To remove the key, you have to push it in while turning the key to remove it.

A nice little bike for when I get to the point in life that I really need one. Do they know you recently rode your pedal bike 100 miles. Lol Great to see your channel growing and getting recognition from companies. ✌

Hi Tony, it's a nice inexpensive e-bike. I am getting many companies reaching out to test their products. I have one, more expensive e-bike I'll be testing. I agreed because it's a little lighter. Don't want my channel to become an advertising venue. I do have a large audience of older folks that already ride e-bikes. One more e-bike review and that will most likely be the last for a while. Hopefully I have many years ahead of me to enjoy the freedom of pedaling under my own power. Thanks again and all the best, Steve

Thanks Jay! Don't know whether it was a good thing mentioning that I would like to review a folding e-bike. They are a lot of fun but for me, they won't replace the accomplishment of self powered bikes. Companies are now coming out of the woodwork wanting me to test their e-bikes. One more to go and that's it. Take care, Steve

Thanks Al, it is a nice ride for those who need a compact ebike to get around town. It's more like a small moped. I hope you and your family have a wonderful holiday season. Take care, Steve

Merry Christmas. Thanks for all of the videos that you share on this channel, Steve. I like that bike is foldable. If being foldable can make the bike compact enough to fit behind the front seat, that would be a plus. I think it would give me peace of mind as far as me not having to worry about it falling because of a bike rack failure. Like another commenter said, the bike does look heavy. It's probably not suitable to be mounted onto a bike rack unless you can remove some parts from it and reassemble it, later. Well anyway, Steve, have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, David.

Hi David, always great to hear from you! It is on the heavy side, about 65 lbs and it is about 15" wide when folded, so it won't fit behind the back seat easily. I wouldn't place it on a bike rack. Either a trunk, van or pickup truck. That's the only downside I can see. All these e-bikes are a bit heavy. Thanks again and I hope you and your family have a great holiday season, Steve

Hi Steve, thanks for your video. I have a just-became-senior lady friend interested in an eBike. She's about 5'6" and used to riding a conventional bike with 26" wheels. My concern with these fold-able bikes is the small wheel diameter. What's your take on the steering stability of a 20" front wheel vs a 26 or 26.5" front wheel? Is more attention required to correct the steering on smaller wheels?

Hi Jeff and thanks for your question. The small wheels take some getting use to. It is more "twitchy" at first. My wife would rather ride a full size e-bike given the choice. She's more comfortable on a full size bike. If we were lacking storage space a folding bike would be more practical. Thanks again and all the best, Steve

It looks heavy. How much does it weigh? And how does the weight compare to a full size (non-foldable) ebike? I worry that I’ll be unable to lift an ebike to get it into the car well (let alone out of the house) before I get to the point where I can’t pedal a standard road bike. Thanks for the review!

Hi there and thanks for your comment! It is on the heavy side. Weighs about 65 lbs. I wouldn't recommend carrying up or down stairs. Most of these e-bikes are heavy. From my research, to get a much lighter one weighing under 40 lbs you'd have to spend at least $3000+ USD for a standard e-bike. I don't see the need for one in my immediate future. Thanks again and all the best, Steve
