Folding or Electric Bikes

 ·  Posted: 10.04.2025  ·  #1
I've been looking at folding bikes, we have a bike rack but would probably prefer to have them inside, in the under bed locker. we do have regular bikes but a bit of assistance might help, I also don't wand to spend a lot of money for something that may well sit in the M/H most of the time.
what do you think?
From Decathlon BTWIN Ref. 8751365 Electric Folding Bike E-Fold 100 - Black €720.00
I saw an offer today from Halfords for an Electric folding bike
Apollo Transport Electric Folding Bike - 20" No542248 @ 260€
or maybe something like this that could go on the rack and bring the batteries inside.
Assist Step-Thru Hybrid Electric Bike 2021 26" No445822 @ 584
Assist Crossbar Hybrid Electric Bike 26" no 137302 @ 482€
Has anyone found that once you had an Electric Bike that you used it more out and about at home.?

I bought standard size pedal assist bikes about 5 years ago and we find them great. It allows you to travel further and are great on hills. We carry them on the rack with batteries inside the van. I got the son and daughter to by them on the bike to work scheme and saved a lot of euros.

At its price the BTWIN is a good buy. Known to be reliable. As a rule of thumb you can half the quoted battery mileage for the real world mileage for most ebikes . A spare battery is handy if you are away for several days without ehu.

Definitely use electric bikes more throughout the year.

Bikes don't stay in MH but "rest" more in the shed!! 🚴‍♀️
