Looking for some suggestions.

I am looking for a folding e-bike to bring along with us on trips.

1) must be high quality
2) good range
3) a lot of good features

There are so many choices - I would like to narrow the field.

thanks!
 
What about a flying e-bike instead of a normal folding e-bike ?? 😂

I've been researching for the same application (last mile transportation for small general aviation airplane). What did you decide? @Spiessre ? Gocycle was a finalist for me. I dislike how they disable the throttle from operating from a standstill. Otherwise, fairly compelling.
 
Oh yea. I commuted on my electric scooter. After a couple of miles, I wanted to sit. The scooter has pneumatic tires and dual suspension so I thought it would be rainbows and roses, but my knees were feeling it by the end and I didn’t chip a tooth. Seats are nice.
 
To the OP, a Montague with a conversion kit is rather popular with pilots and boat captains b/c they have 26 inch wheels, fold up to fit into a locker, and don't suffer frame flex (the riding a wet noodles effect). Also lightweight for a folder at under 45 or 50 pounds.
We have a (rarely visited, but still) valuable forum for them you can search quickly. I own one but can't give real life experience b/c of my health decline since my purchase.

The backcountrypilot link is appreciated. Thanks @Nvreloader .
 
EUCs are a very real thing.

I’d get one, but can’t justify it.

You know airplanes won’t allow batteries larger that 99wh?
Didn't know about the 99wh limit (for commercial flights I assume). That actually seems reasonable if a bit low. I wouldn't want to be seated next to or underneath a 500wh battery that decided to have a bad day, either.
