ADO Air 20s 2026
Lightweight 18kg folding commuter with carbon belt drive and a dual-side torque sensor
Engwe Zip
The portability champion. At just 19.4 kg it triple-folds small enough to carry onto a train or into the office, and the battery lifts out in a bag to charge at your desk. Same torque-sensor assist as the bigger bikes — you put the effort in, it amplifies it — with enough real-world range for several commutes between charges. Pick it when getting the bike through doors and onto public transport matters most.
