{"title":"Folding E-Bikes","description":"\u003cp\u003eA folding electric bike combines the freedom of an e-bike with a compact frame that folds down when the ride is over. It fits in a car trunk, an apartment closet, a boat or an RV, and it can travel with you on trains and buses where folded bikes are allowed.

Lighter models are easier to carry, while heavier ones often have larger batteries or wider tires. Check the folded dimensions to make sure it fits where you plan to store it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFolding Mechanism\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMost folding ebikes fold at the frame, handlebar stem and pedals. Look for a mechanism that feels secure when locked and is simple to operate. A quick, intuitive fold makes a real difference if you fold and unfold the bike every day.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWheel Size and Tires\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSmaller wheels keep the bike compact and nimble in the city. Larger wheels roll more smoothly over bumps.

Battery capacity, listed in watt-hours (Wh), affects range, but real-world distance depends on terrain, rider weight, temperature and assist level. A removable battery makes charging easy when the bike is stored in a garage or car.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eUS E-Bike Classes\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eFolding e-bikes follow the same US class system as full-size models.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClass 1:\u003c\/strong\u003e pedal assist only, with motor support up to 20 mph.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClass 2:\u003c\/strong\u003e includes a throttle, with motor support up to 20 mph.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClass 3:\u003c\/strong\u003e pedal assist only, with motor support up to 28 mph.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eRules on paths, helmets and age limits vary by state and city.
