Heybike Venus Foldable Electric Bike
The cheapest folding e-bike worth buying — 500W motor, 40-mile range, and folds flat for $600.
Our Review
The Heybike Venus makes electric biking accessible to everyone. At $600, it's the most affordable folding e-bike that doesn't feel like a toy. The 500W motor provides enough power for flat terrain and gentle hills, and the 40-mile range covers most commutes. The folding mechanism is quick and secure, and the 20-inch fat tires provide stability. The LCD display shows speed, battery, and assist level. It's not as refined as the Lectric XP4, but at $400 less, it's the entry point for anyone curious about e-bikes without committing to a bigger investment.
