What’s A Folding Electric Bike All About? Fun Compact Transportation! That’s What!
Electric bikes have been around for a while. Over a century. Like since the late 1800s – at least in the development phase. Mostly they were cumbersome and always needed revision. Evolving. One of the first patents was late in 1895. They just weren’t practical. Because they were bulky, heavy, and cumbersome.
Lately, they are becoming more and more mainstream and are advertised as “Revolutionary”. So developments in the technology of batteries and motors today are revolutionary in comparison. Yet, the concept is much older.
The desire for a practical economical electric mini vehicle brings us to one of the more interesting and convenient types – the Folding Electric Bike. This fun folding bike is becoming one of the most popular models for so many practical reasons.

Benefits of Folding Electric Bikes
Some of the benefits of owning and riding a compact electric bike that folds are life-changing. This is a lifestyle change. When I think of a purchase one of the major points for me is the lifestyle. I always ask myself – will it enhance my life and how? More fun? Save money? Will it help me to be healthier? That’s one of the biggest questions for me.
Can it improve your health? It can. Not only will you peddle and get exercise but you’ll get outside much more. Isn’t that reason enough? The amount of exercise you get will be up to you and how much you want.
Exercise
You may think that an electric folding bike won’t give you much exercise. It does. It can give you as much or little as you want. You can use the pedal-assist to help. You can use the throttle if you get a bike with one. Or not. Electric bikes are great for people who want to get out and ride, whether you’re in shape or not. Or you may have injuries or experience aches and pains that limit your physical activity. Think of keeping up with the grandkids bike riding. An electric bike will get you out and moving more again. And only as much or little as you want. Riding is good for your brain too.
My introduction to electric bikes was through a 75-year-old man I know. He’s an engineer. He purchased one, brought it to show me and I’ve been fascinated ever since. These bikes are the answer to so many things.
