Samebike Bike Citybike 14" 36V 7.8AH Folding Commuter MINI BIKE

The Samebike U14 is a 14-inch folding electric bike built for urban commuting and short city journeys where storage space is tight. It uses a high carbon steel folding frame that collapses down to 73 x 42 x 60.5cm, making it practical to store in a flat, office, or carry onto public transport. At 21.5kg, it's manageable for most people to handle and transport, though it's worth noting that's heavier than a conventional folding bike due to the battery and motor.

Power comes from a 36V 7.8Ah lithium battery that's removable, letting you charge it indoors without hauling the whole bike upstairs. Samebike rates the range at up to 50km per charge, though real-world distance varies depending on how you ride and the terrain. The bike charges in four to six hours using the included USB charger. The 250W brushless motor sits in the hub and works via a twist throttle or pedal-assist mode, so you can ride it as a pure electric bike, use pedal assistance, or pedal manually. There are five levels of pedal-assist to choose from, giving you flexibility in how much effort you put in versus how much the motor does.

The 14-inch tyres are sized at 2.12 inches wide, which suits urban pavements and light off-road surfaces but they're smaller than a standard bike's wheels, so you'll need to work a bit harder to maintain momentum on long flat stretches. Braking comes from mechanical disc brakes front and rear, which are reliable and straightforward to maintain. The bike features a straight-leg suspension fork up front that absorbs bumps on rougher surfaces. Gearing is handled by a five-speed derailleur, which is modest but adequate for city riding and gentle hills. The LCD display shows battery level, speed, distance, and other ride data, and there's Bluetooth connectivity for monitoring performance on your phone.

It comes complete with mudguards, a front light, a buzzer, tools, a rear rack for carrying small loads, and two keys for security. The maximum payload is 100kg. The default speed is set to 25km/h, which aligns with UK electric bike legal limits. This bike suits commuters who need something compact and motorised to cut journey time, people living in urban areas with storage constraints, or riders who want to mix pedalling with electric assistance on their daily commute. Show notes mention minor paint scuffs from transit that have been touched up; otherwise it's as new.
