Answers to common questions
How much does it weigh?
The Samebike CY20 PRO weighs 31 kg. That is 8% above the median weight for folding e-bikes, which is 28.6 kg. It is not the lightest bike to carry up stairs.
How much torque does it have?
The motor delivers 50 Nm of torque. That is exactly the median for its type. It should handle moderate hills without strain.
What speed class is it?
It is a standard pedelec class, with a top speed of 25 km/h. It has no throttle. You pedal to get assistance.
How far does it really go?
The manufacturer claims 90 km. MathBikes estimates 34 km, with a band of 30 to 38 km. That estimate is 62% below the claim. The estimate comes from a formula, not a test. You can adjust the assumptions with the range calculator.
What does it cost to run?
The purchase price is 593 USD. Running costs depend on electricity and maintenance. The warranty is not listed, so factor in potential repair costs. Use the cost calculator to compare long-term expenses.
Where it falls short
The biggest trade-off is range. The estimated 34 km is 29% below the median for its type. The battery is also small, at 468 Wh, which is 30% below the median of 672 Wh. If you need to travel farther than 34 km on a charge, this bike will not meet your needs.
Who should buy it
This bike fits budget-conscious riders who value a low upfront cost. It is also a good choice for those who need a foldable bike for mixed commuting. Just keep your rides short.
- You want an affordable folding e-bike for trips under 34 km.
- You need a bike that folds for storage or public transport.
- You are willing to trade range for a lower price.
Look elsewhere if you need a long-range e-bike or a light one. The 31 kg weight and 34 km range are limiting. Consider a bike with a larger battery and a higher price if those matter more.
