I want to buy a 20" foldable electric bike to get around in Thailand. That way I could bike around locally and also put the ebike on trains, buses, ferries, minivans, etc.
Do you know of some sources where I could buy such a bike in Thailand or Southeast Asia? Or have it shipped there from a distributor?
The bike itself would need to be somewhat reliable as I'm not good at fixing things. My budget would be around $1,000 to $1,500, but I'm open to suggestion.
Currently I'm renting a used cheap Chinese 20" foldable e-bike. But I need a new bike because I need it to be reasonably dependable with a fresh battery.
If there are certain features in the bike you think I should prioritize, please let me know.
In the future, there will be more options. At the moment, Vello from Vienna, Austria is coming out with an innovative foldable 20" ebike that is super light and can become very small for transport. But it doesn't have a throttle and it's quite expensive:

[and wait for a few seconds . . . ]
Thanks for whatever referrals you can bring my way, including any ebike people who live in Thailand. E-bikes really haven't caught on much in Thailand yet, so it would be good to network with those who appreciate them.
