Our take
Engwe O20 Boost
The comfort-and-range pick. A fuller-size, planted ride with a big 720 Wh battery and a 75 Nm torque sensor that flatters your pedalling. It folds too, but it is heavier than the Zip, so it suits being your main everyday bike more than something to lug onto trains daily. Choose it for cushion and range over outright portability.

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.
