The Mukkpet GL is a folding e-bike that stands out for its low price. At 819 USD, it is 18% below the 999 USD median for folding bikes. It also weighs 22.7 kg, which is 14% lighter than the typical 26.3 kg folding bike. That combination makes it an affordable, manageable option for commuters who need to carry their bike up stairs or onto trains.
The bike has a 720 Wh battery, which is 4% above the class median of 691 Wh. Its motor delivers 40 Nm of torque, exactly the median for its type. The manufacturer claims a range of 72 km, but MathBikes estimates 53 km based on a standard reference ride. That estimate is 26% below the claim, so you should plan for shorter trips than advertised.

Answers to common questions
How much does it weigh?
The Mukkpet GL weighs 22.7 kg. That is 3.6 kg lighter than the median folding bike. You can fold it, but the manufacturer does not list the folded dimensions.
How much torque does it have?
The motor provides 40 Nm of torque. That is exactly the median for folding bikes. It is a hub motor, which is common at this price.
What speed class is it?
It is a standard pedelec class, meaning pedal assist up to 40 km/h. It has no throttle. Check local rules for speed limits on e-bikes.
How far does it really go?
The manufacturer claims 72 km. MathBikes estimates 53 km, with a band from 46 to 59 km. That estimate is 26% below the claim. The estimate comes from a formula, not a test ride. You can adjust inputs with the range calculator.
What does it cost to run?
The purchase price is 819 USD. Running costs depend on electricity, maintenance, and replacement parts. The warranty is not listed, so budget for potential repairs. Use the cost calculator to compare long-term costs.
Where it falls short
The Mukkpet GL is not cargo capable and has no step-through frame. Its top speed of 40 km/h may be higher than local e-bike limits. The biggest drawback is the lack of a published warranty. You cannot know what coverage you get if something fails.
Who should buy it
This bike suits budget-conscious riders who want a light, foldable e-bike for short trips. Its 53 km estimated range covers most commutes. The low price leaves room in your budget for accessories or repairs.
- You need a folding bike to carry on public transport.
- You want a lighter bike because you lift it regularly.
- You are willing to accept no warranty to save money.
Look elsewhere if you need a step-through frame or cargo capacity. Also consider other options if you want a manufacturer warranty. The Mukkpet GL is a basic, affordable folding e-bike, not a premium machine.
