Pros and cons
ENGWE EP-2 PRO
Pros
- 624 Wh battery — one of the largest in this price class, good for 70-90 km of range
- Dual suspension (front + rear) delivers genuine comfort on bad roads and unpaved paths
- Folding frame lets you bring it in the car or on the train
- 4.0 fat tyres float on sand and snow — great for North Sea beach rides
Cons
- At 31 kg substantially heavier than a regular folding bike — awkward on stairs
- No ART certification, not insurable on standard household policies without an extra lock
- Rear hub motor lacks the natural pedalling feel of a mid-motor
