TheCarbon Fold 1has been a near-perfect companion for city commuting.
Shipping is free when purchasing from Urtopia directly and they are currently offering the fenders and kickstand for free.
I appreciated how well-packed the bike was and how easy it was to put together on my own.

I probably could have done it even faster if it hadnt been so cold.
Dang, this bike is small.
The bright yellow color and overall build felt very premium.
That said, before my first ride, I was skeptical.
Surely a bike this small and light wouldnt be that powerful or quick.
The ride cant be that great either, right?
Id soon be proven wrong (for the most part).
Im a big fan of the battery being integrated into the seat post.
This not only balances the bike but has practical advantages, too.

Plus, taking out the battery makes the bike even lighter, making it easier to carry or store.
The adjustable seat post is also great for shorter ridersmy 5 fiance had no trouble riding comfortably.
Official specs say it accommodates riders from 51 to 61 and supports up to 200 lbs.

Its something Ill keep an eye on.
In my small apartment, the bikes compact size has been a game-changer.
At my stop, its light enough to carry up the stairs and through the tight station doors.

My most used is Smart mode, which adjusts motor assistance based on your pedaling resistance.
Theres also a Walk Assist mode, which is handy when pushing the bike.
On smooth roads, the ride is perfectsuper smooth and effortless.

This bike is designed for street riding, but in NYC, the definition of street isveryloose.
With a mix of power modes, I found its claimed range to be quite accurate.
Being able to remove the battery in seconds is a huge advantage for security and portability.

Its an excellent choice for urban riders who need a lightweight, compact e-bike without sacrificing performance.
If youre looking for a high-quality folding e-bike for city commuting, this one is worth strong consideration.
