Who should buy it
The HAOQI Camel fits riders who want a fast, long-range folding e-bike and can handle the weight. It is not for anyone who needs to carry it often or who has a tight budget.

- You need speed assist above 25 km/h.
- You are willing to pay a premium for these features.
Look elsewhere if you need a lightweight folder or if your budget is near the median price of 999 USD. Also consider whether the 45 km/h top speed is legal where you ride.
