Should you buy one?
Buy the EP-2 Pro if you need a full-size e-bike that folds small enough to go in a car trunk, and you want lights, fenders and a rear rack included. I rode mine for about two weeks. It came out of the box fully assembled, it folds in about 30 seconds, and it fit in the trunk of my Tesla Model 3.
Skip it if you need to lift your bike often, or you want strong throttle starts on hills. It’s still heavy when folded (Engwe lists it at 66 lbs), and from a stop on an incline the throttle felt a little slow.
There’s one big catch right now: as of Oct 22, 2026, Engwe’s US site lists the EP-2 Pro at $1,399 but shows every color as sold out. My Amazon link is below if it comes back in stock there.

Who it’s for
- Apartment and small-car owners. It folds in half, and the pedals fold flat. It fit in the trunk of my Tesla Model 3. With the seat folded down, I think you could fit two in the back of a Model 3.
- Commuters. The battery comes out with a key, so you can charge it at your desk. You also get a headlight, tail light, fenders and a rack, which is what you want for riding in bad weather.
- Riders between about 5’4” and 6’2”. That’s Engwe’s listed rider height range. I’m about 6’1” and 200 lbs, and it fit me.
- People who want a throttle. It has one, and you can ride without pedaling.
Who should look elsewhere
- Anyone who has to carry it up stairs. Folding makes it smaller, not lighter. Those fat tires don’t help.
- Heavier riders. I said in my video that the bike is rated for no more than 300 lbs; Engwe’s current page lists a 330 lb maximum load. Either way, check the number before you buy if you’re close to it.
- Hill-start riders. If your commute starts on a steep grade, you’ll want more power. I said in the video I’d like to see a 1,000 watt motor on this bike.
- Anyone who wants to buy today. Engwe’s own store has it sold out.
Two weeks with the EP-2 Pro
I rode this bike for about two weeks before I made the review, and by the end of it I thought it was probably the best e-bike you could buy on Amazon at the time, and the best value for the money I had seen. I love the styling of folding e-bikes. Plenty of companies make them, but few put this many features on one at this price.
Most of my riding in the video was off-road, on dirt paths and trails, with some hills mixed in. That shaped what I learned. I got a good read on comfort, the grips, the throttle and the folding. I didn’t do a stopping distance test or time any climbs, so those numbers aren’t in this review.
EP-2 Pro specs vs what I saw
Engwe’s spec numbers come from the current product page (as of Oct 22, 2026). The second column is what I measured or said in my video.
| Engwe’s page | My test | |
|---|---|---|
| Peak motor power (W) | 960 | Not listed |
| Motor power I quoted (W) | Not listed | 750 |
| Battery (V) | 48 | Not listed |
| Battery (Ah) | 13 | Not listed |
| Throttle-only range (mi) | 24 | 23 |
| PAS range (mi) | 75 | Not listed |
| Top speed (mph) | 26 | 28 |
| Throttle top speed (mph) | Not listed | 20 |
| Weight (lbs) | 66 | Not listed |
| Max load (lbs) | 330 | 300 |
| Tire width (in) | 4.0 | 4.0 |
| Wheel size (in) | 20 | Not listed |
| Rear gears | 7 | Not listed |
| Fold time (seconds) | Not listed | 30 |
| Price, USD (as of Oct 22, 2026) | 1,399 | Not listed |
A few of these numbers don’t line up, and I’d rather show you than hide it:
- Motor. In the video I called it a 750 watt motor. Engwe’s page today lists “960W peak.” The page URL itself still says 750W. These two numbers can both be true (rated vs peak), but Engwe doesn’t list a rated number on the current page, so I can’t confirm it.
- Torque. Engwe’s own page says 55 N.m in the spec list and 90Nm in the headline. I don’t know which is right, so I left torque out of the table.
- Top speed. I hit 28 mph in pedal assist level 5 with what I called “moderately aggressive pedaling.” Engwe’s page says 26 mph.
What the specs mean on the road
Motor. At about 200 lbs, it had plenty of power to carry me up and down hills. Where it felt the limit was starting from a stop on an incline. That’s why I said I’d like to see a 1,000 watt motor in it.
Battery. Engwe lists 48V and 13Ah. Multiply those and you get about 624Wh. My 23 mile throttle-only result came in close to Engwe’s 24 mile electric-mode figure.
Tires. The 20 x 4.0 inch tires are small in diameter and very wide. The small wheels are part of why the bike folds so compactly. The width gives you grip and cushion on dirt, which is where I rode it most. They also add weight, which you notice when you lift it.
Gears. Engwe lists 7 speeds. I reached 28 mph pedaling in PAS 5.
Brakes. Engwe lists 160mm mechanical disc brakes. They had no problem stopping me at about 200 lbs. Mechanical brakes use cables instead of fluid.
Weight. Engwe lists 66 lbs. That’s heavy for a folding bike.
Folding: the best part
This is the feature that sold me. Here’s how it goes:
- Undo the latch at the handlebar.
- Undo the larger frame latch. It has an extra lock on it for safety.
- Flip down the pedals and kick up the kickstand.
- The bike folds basically in half.
Unfolding is the same in reverse. Swing the front wheel around, lock the big center latch, flip the pedals back out, and raise the handlebars until they latch. In my video, I timed it at about 25 to 30 seconds to fold it down completely, and about 30 seconds to unfold it, adjust the seat and power it up.
There’s also a metal bracket under the frame that keeps the bike from resting on the chain when folded.
My bike shipped fully assembled. It came folded in the box with protective padding and a small tool kit. I didn’t have to put a tire on or anything. Every bike needs maintenance, so the tool kit is a nice touch, but on day one there was nothing to build.
The car test
I’m about 6’1” and 200 lbs, and I drive a Model 3, which is a smaller sedan. Folded, the EP-2 Pro went into the trunk. That’s really impressive for a full-size e-bike. The seat also folds down until it’s narrow, so I think you could fit two of these in the back of a Model 3. You don’t need a truck to transport a bike.
It’s still pretty heavy to handle while you’re loading it. The fat tires don’t make it any lighter. Putting the kickstand down while you unfold it makes the bike easier to handle.
Getting going
Once it’s unfolded, you throw your leg over, kick the kickstand up, power on and pull the throttle back. From folded to riding took me about 30 seconds, including adjusting the seat. Just watch out for vines on the trail, as you can see in the video.
Controls and display
On the right grip you have the throttle, the rear brake and the shifter. The display in the center shows battery and speed. On the left you have a bell and the buttons to move pedal assist up and down. I really liked the oversized grips. They were extra comfortable when I took it off-road.
Power and key
The key is under the main folding buckle, and it turns the battery on and off. Without the key, the bike won’t power on. That’s a nice safety feature. With the key on, push the power button and the display comes on.
The battery itself also locks into the frame with a key. When the bike is folded you get a good look at it from the inside, and it takes up a really small footprint.
Comfort
The seat is one of the more comfortable ones I’ve used. The front fork is fine. It’s not super high quality, but it’s what I’d expect at a price around $1,000. It was about $1,100 on Amazon when I filmed.
You can adjust both the seat and the handlebars, so most adults can get a comfortable fit. Engwe lists a rider height of about 5’4” to 6’2”.
The ride test
Off-road trails
Most of the footage is off-road. The oversized grips were extra comfortable there, and the fat tires handled the dirt. The fork did its job. It isn’t a fork for hard mountain biking, and I wouldn’t treat it like one.
Hills and throttle starts
At about 200 lbs, I had plenty of power going up and down hills. The one weak spot is starting from a stop on an incline. The throttle felt a little slow at first, but once it gets going, it really gets going.
Top speed
On the throttle it reached 20 mph with no problem. In PAS 5, I reached 28 mph with some moderately aggressive pedaling. Engwe’s page lists 26 mph, so expect the top end to depend on the rider and how hard you pedal. Check your local e-bike laws before you ride at those speeds.
Brakes
The brakes had no problem stopping me at about 200 lbs.
Range test
I did a max range test from a full charge down to zero and got 23 miles at full throttle, no pedaling at all. That’s with me at about 200 lbs, on a route with a good amount of hills.
Engwe lists 24 miles in electric mode and 75 in pedal assist mode, so my throttle result came in right next to their number. If you pedal, you should do a lot better than 23.
Charging is simple. You can charge the battery on the bike or take it out and charge it inside. Engwe lists a 48V 2A charger.
What’s included
Standard equipment:
- Front headlight and rear tail light
- Rear rack
- Front and rear fenders
- Locking, removable battery
- Folding pedals
- Small tool kit
You don’t have to buy a rack or fenders as add-ons. The lights, rack, fenders and locking battery are what make it a good commuter, and they matter most if you ride in bad weather.
How it compares
These are other folding e-bikes I’ve reviewed, plus a full-size fat tire bike if folding isn’t a must. I’ve kept this to what I said in each review.
- Aventon Sinch. Another fat tire folder that came to me fully put together, with a charger and a multi-tool. Aventon has since replaced it with the Sinch 2.5, which was listed at $1,799 and sold out as of Oct 22, 2026.
- ONEBOT folding e-bike. Much smaller and lighter, with a smaller motor. It’s built for short trips and last mile commutes, not the trails I rode the EP-2 Pro on.
- Aventon Aventure. If you don’t need to fold the bike, this is the fat tire bike I rated best when I tested it. It doesn’t fold and costs more.
For the EP-2 Pro’s mix of a full-size ride, a throttle, lights, fenders, a rack and a fold that fits in a sedan, I hadn’t seen better value for about $1,100 on Amazon when I made the video.
