Where it falls short
The Fafrees F20 Ultra is heavy. At 37.5 kg, it is 31% above the median for folding bikes. That weight makes it less portable, which is a key point for a folding model. Also, the warranty is not listed, so you cannot know the coverage.
Who should buy it
This bike is for riders who value range and power over portability. It is not for someone who needs to carry a bike up stairs. It is for someone who wants a folding bike that rides like a full-size commuter.
- You want a long estimated range of 85 km for commuting or errands.
- You need high torque of 79 Nm for hilly routes.
- You can handle a 37.5 kg bike and do not need to lift it often.
Look elsewhere if you need a light folding bike. The median weight is 28.6 kg, and this bike is well above that. Also, if you want a throttle or a step-through frame, this model does not have them.
