What speed class is it?

Where it falls short
The Samebike LO26 Plus is heavy. At 30.4 kg, it is 6% above the median. That extra weight makes it less portable than lighter folding bikes. The manufacturer's range claim is also far from the estimate. You should expect a real-world range closer to 52 km, not 109 km.
Who should buy it
This bike suits riders who want strong assist and a big battery. It is a folding model, so it can fit in small spaces. But its weight makes it less ideal for frequent carrying.
- You ride hilly routes and need 80 Nm of torque.
- You want a battery above the class median at 720 Wh.
- You prefer a price below the median at 1014 USD.
Look elsewhere if you need a light folding bike. The 30.4 kg weight is a real burden. Also, if you expect the claimed 109 km range, you will be disappointed. The estimate is 52 km.
