Folding e-bikes
Every folding bike we've reviewed, ranked by the Genius Score. These fold down for a flat, a car boot, or a train.
Heybike Mars 3.0
The Heybike Mars 3.0 packs a strong motor, a throttle, and room for a passenger into a budget price, which is why it earns one of our higher Genius Scores for the money.
Genius 91 / 100Ride1Up Portola C1
The Portola C1 gives budget commuters a genuine 750W motor, solid stopping power, and a fold-flat frame for under a grand, which is more useful bike than that price usually buys.

A folding $1,299 commuter with a big battery, a throttle, and enough motor to make short work of a loaded ride to town.
Genius 88 / 100Ride1Up Portola
Ride1Up's small-wheel commuter brings a throttle, hydraulic brakes, and a switchable class for well under a grand, and the only real compromise is a battery built for shorter rides.
Genius 84 / 100Heybike Horizon
A $1,399 fat-tire commuter with strong hill power and a big battery, built to make a rough daily ride more comfortable.

Genius 80 / 100Velotric Fold 1 Plus
A $1,499 folding commuter with the range for a real daily ride, a throttle for the lazy days, and enough muscle to haul groceries or a second person.

The Cyrusher Sonder covers the everyday-commuter basics well and undercuts most folders on price, as long as your route isn't full of steep hills.
Genius 71 / 100Denago Folding 1
Strong torque, a throttle, and a big battery make the Folding 1 a well-rounded daily commuter, as long as you can live with mechanical brakes at this price.
Genius 68 / 100Aventon Sinch 2.5
A mid-priced folding fat-tire commuter that stores in tight spaces, cushions broken pavement, and lets you ride on throttle alone.
Genius 68 / 100Blix Vika X
The Blix Vika X packs a full commuter's range, brakes, and auto-shifting into a frame that folds away in a closet or trunk.
Genius 67 / 100Rad Power RadExpand 5 Plus
