Where it falls short
The Engwe EP 2 3 is heavy. At 32.2 kg, it is 13% above the median weight for folding e-bikes. That weight makes it less portable. The estimated range is also below the claim. You may get 46 km, not 119 km, depending on conditions.
Who should buy it
The Engwe EP 2 3 fits riders who want strong torque from a folding bike. It also fits those who value a large battery. The bike can handle a payload of up to 150 kg. That is useful for carrying gear.
- You ride hilly routes and need extra pulling power.
- You want a folding bike that can carry a heavy rider or cargo.
- You prefer a bike without a throttle, for legal simplicity.
Look elsewhere if you need a light bike for carrying. Also look elsewhere if you want a longer real-world range. The estimated range is 46 km, which may be short for long commutes. Consider other folding bikes with lower weight or higher range.
