Lightweight folding e-bikes are the gift that keeps on giving. Not only do they make riding easier thanks to the electronic pedal support, but they take up very little space – making them ideal for the urban commuter.

　　Zoom to work and stash your e-bike under your desk. Cycle to the nearest station and carry your compact electronic bicycle with you. When space is limited, the folding e-bike offers boundless solutions.

　　Let’s take a look at some of the best lightweight folding e-bikes on the market right now.

　　If you are still not sure whether or not a foldable e-bike is for you it might be worth taking a closer look at the pros and cons of riding a lightweight foldable ebike.

　　Fold-up e-bikes range greatly in price depending on the brand, quality, and features. At the low end, you can expect to pay anything from $1,000 and up, with premium bikes starting at around $4,000 and upwards.

　　The Lightest Foldable E-Bikes are the epitome of convenience and innovation in urban transportation. Despite their lightweight construction, these e-bikes pack a powerful punch, providing an efficient and eco-conscious mode of transportation that’s as portable as it is sustainable, offering riders a seamless and enjoyable journey through the city streets.

　　Here’s a closer look at 7 lightweight foldable e-bikes to consider when buying yours:

　　The lightest folding e-bike is the Hummingbird Electric Gen 2.0, weighing only 22.70lbs (10.3kg) and with a built-in motor and battery.

　　In short, yes they are worth it. Folding e-bikes offer the best of both worlds – all the practicality of a folding bike in terms of transportation and storage, with the greater range of journey options that comes with electric assistance.

　　Whether you have further to travel, excruciating hills to face, or are simply starting commuting by bike and want to be able to cover the whole distance easily, you may be joining the millions of people who have opted for an electric bike.

　　Electric bikes are booming. One in twenty people in the UK now own an electric bike and it’s predicted that by the end of the decade, in excess of 130 million e-bikes will be sold. Studies show that people who use electric bikes ride for longer, further and more often than those on standard bikes.

　　The myth that electric bikes are “lazy” and “won’t get you fit” was dispelled long ago. Riding an electric bike still burns the calories – around 75% as many as riding a standard bike. And they can make journeys possible for commuters that wouldn’t be otherwise.

　　So, it was inevitable that the e-bike and the folding bike would come together. From the first folding e-bike introduced (the Honda Step Compo in 2000), there is now a huge range to choose from, varying in price from under £1,000 to £5,000 or more.

　　The weight of a folding bike is important, particularly for commuters who may be using multi-modal transport or carrying the bike up and down stairs. E-bikes are generally heavier than non-electric bikes, sometimes by as much as 50%.

　　But for many folding e-bikes, this is no longer the case. Adding a ton of weight to a folding bike (designed to be carried easily) is counter-intuitive. The lightest Brompton electric is only 3.3kg heavier than the non-electric, and others are even lighter still. It’s more than possible to get a folding bike that will give you all the benefits of assisted cycling, and is light enough to be practical.
