E Bike folding

The Hidoes C5 is a folding electric bike built around practicality and compact storage. It uses an aluminium frame that folds down to take up minimal space, making it suited to commuters who need to carry their bike onto trains, store it in a flat, or keep it in a car boot. The 14-inch wheels contribute to the tight fold and make the bike easy to manoeuvre in tight spaces, though they do require a bit more effort to build momentum on longer flat stretches compared to larger wheels.

The bike is powered by a 350W motor and a 36V 10.4Ah lithium battery, which work together to handle urban riding and gentle hills without demanding much from the rider. The derailleur gears give you flexibility to adjust to different terrain and riding styles. The aluminium construction keeps the overall weight manageable, and the bike is rated for a maximum load of 120kg, so it's suited to a range of riders. It comes complete with a charger, so you can top up the battery at home or in the office between journeys.

Day to day, this folding bike works well for short urban commutes and mixed-mode transport where you're combining cycling with public transport or car journeys. The compact frame means you're not wrestling with a full-size bike when you need to fold it up or carry it, and the electric assistance takes the physical strain out of rush-hour riding. This bike suits anyone who lives or works in a city and needs a bike that doesn't dominate their living space or transport routine.
