Espin Nesta - Espin's fat tire folding bike pre-order

[BET]

Espin is selling its new fat tire folding bike - Espin Nesta. It has some upgrades not always found on folding e bikes. They include 750 watt hub motor, front suspension fork, and hydraulic brakes. Also includes front and rear fenders, racks and lights. Battery is 10.5 ah. Top speed 25 mph. Step thru design fits riders 5' to 6'3. Adjustable to a range of riders. Colors: smoke grey and blue. Espin Website does not describe size of fat tires but looks to be 20" x4". Pre orders taken for delivery in Jan. 2121. Some specific details not yet listed on web site. This is a new model. You can get $50.00 by using my discount code ESPINSQAD-ANZTFK.
This bike would seem to appeal to riders who want a folder but are willing to pay a little extra for a suspension seat post, hydraulic brakes and other upgrades. Looks like they just raised the price.

This bike would seem to appeal to riders who want a folder but are willing to pay a little extra for a suspension seat post, hydraulic brakes and other upgrades. Still very affordable.

I cant find it listed on their site.

Search for it, it will come up. www.espinbikes.com/products/nesta-1. Just announced today, I think. I came across it on Espin web site while looking for something else.

That’s funny: the product page doesn’t have one shot of the bike unfolded. I can’t tell what it looks like!

I see several pics. It comes in blue and white.

I see my comment has prompted them to add more pics. Excellent.

Not so excellent is them raising the price. Boo.

 

[Taylor57]

Not crazy about the battery placement, and after already owning a folder, kinda over the folder concept too. My guess is those are 4x20 tires and its gunna weight 60 lbs? Cant see specs.

I was hoping Espin would offer a dual suspension as next offering. I thought I caught a hint earlier but apparently not...

Those pics have been up since @BET posted this thread:

No, they were not. Neither was the $1,269 price.

No, they were not. Neither was the $1,269 price.

I looked late last night right after BET posted and clicked and reloaded the Espin website and could not find the Nesta. It wasn't till this morning when the link was posted that I was able to see it...

We checked and it was on then off then on again with the higher price.

 

[BigNerd]

Hmm... I saw it right when I saw BET's post timestamped 7:36pm. You guys must be using defective browsers.

Dang that bike looks pretty well equipped even has a suspension fork on the front, fenders, racks, hmm, seems like a pretty good deal.

 

[BigNerd]

I think $1269 is a bit high given that Espin was more of a value with their other offerings. Maybe it's still being worked on and will go back to the $1099 price.

I e mailed Espin yesterday and they said they are not ready to take orders yet. Looked today and they are now taking orders for the Nesta. Disappointed they raised the price to be even more than the Sport and Flow.

 

[Taylor57]

I love my Sport, but this rollout or intro lacks something, no?

Espin is a small company and advertising and publicity is not their strength. They could do better. Not a big fan of the name "Nesta."

No kiddin. And another folder with a huge arse battery strapped to the downtube. Not sure I get this move but I wish them well...

Tons of folders that look just like that being shown on Alibaba. I’d bet there are 20 factories at least that build that same E-Bike for you. MOQ is usually around 80 units, but sometimes as few as 500 are needed. They will give you a free logo too.
