FOCUS e-bike test compact bikes

[vc_row] [vc_column] [vc_column_text]Test: Compact bikes, the new trend: simply fold up the handlebar stem - and simply pack away the whole bike. As a result, the bike takes up little space during transport or when "parking" in the apartment. The special highlight: Thanks to the highly adjustable handlebar and seat height, compact bikes fit almost any body size. So the son can cycle to school in the morning, the daughter to the ballet in the afternoon and the father to the tennis court in the evening. Or to the pub.

Weight: More important than in any other category is weight! Anyone planning to transport their e-bike by car or train should definitely pay attention to this: anything over 20 kilograms becomes strenuous. But it's not just the number on the scale that matters, but also the carrying geometry. Can I use part of the frame as a handle? The comfort is surprisingly high, and thanks to the small tire diameter, these compact bikes are sprinting marvels at traffic lights.

Fast: Concerns that you won't be fast are unfounded: The gears ensure quick shifting. Derailleur gears are just as impractical on a folding bike as disc brakes. Tip: The lights should be mounted front and rear in such a way that they cannot be damaged when the bike is stowed away.
