Engwe EP-2 Boost Folding Fat Tyre Electric Bike
The Engwe EP-2 Boost is the Boost-button version of Engwe's best-selling folding fat-tyre bike. A 250W EU-standard rear hub motor delivers 55Nm on demand, controlled by a torque sensor that reads your pedalling effort rather than switching on in steps. Assistance cuts off at 25 km/h, so it is a road-legal pedelec in Ireland. A 624Wh (48V 13Ah) removable battery gives up to 120 km, 180mm disc brakes front and rear handle the stopping, and 20" × 4.0" fat tyres on one-piece wheels take tarmac, gravel, sand and dirt in their stride. Folds to 99 × 55 × 75 cm, carries 150 kg, and comes with a rear rack and mudguards fitted. Cycle to Work eligible, from Inner City Scooters, Dublin.
Your Power Uphill
EU-Compliant Boost Power
55Nm of maximum boost torque, 250W of EU-standard rated output and a 25 km/h assistance cut-off. The Boost button changes how hard the motor pulls, not how fast you can go — which is exactly why the bike stays a legal pedelec.
Boost Unleashes 55Nm of Power
Press for an Instant Surge
The illuminated Boost button sits under your thumb. Press it and the motor gives you everything it has — for a hill start, a loaded pull-away or a climb that would otherwise need a gear change.
How the Boost button works
- Action Press for an instant power surge; release and assistance returns to your PAS level
- Torque Up to 55Nm, for hills, loads and standing starts
- Motor 250W rated rear hub, EU standard output
- Sensor Torque sensor reads how hard you pedal, not just that you are pedalling
- Climbing Rated to 10° gradients
- Cut-off Assistance stops at 25 km/h, as required in Ireland and the EU
Smart for a Smoother Ride
Torque Sensor, Not a Cadence Switch
The torque sensor measures how hard you are actually pushing and matches the motor to it. The result is assistance that feels like your own legs on a good day, rather than the on-off surge of a cheaper cadence sensor.
Your Reliable Cargo Partner
180mm Brakes, Rear Rack, Mudguards
Built for urban delivery work as much as commuting: upgraded 180mm discs for shorter stops under load, a rear rack rated to 25 kg and full mudguards fitted as standard. Total capacity is 150 kg.

120 km on a Single Charge
The 48V 13Ah (624Wh) pack is rated at 120 km in PAS 1 — tested with a 75 kg rider on flat road at 25°C. It lifts out of the frame for charging indoors.
Easily Conquer Every Road
20 × 4.0" Tyres for Every Surface
Asphalt, sand, gravel, dirt — the fat tyres float over surfaces that would stop a commuter bike, and the front suspension takes the rest.
One-Piece Wheels
Cast one-piece wheels instead of spoked rims — nothing to true, nothing to snap, and no spoke maintenance on a bike that gets ridden hard and loaded heavy.
Information at a Glance
Integrated LCD Display
Real-time speed, battery level and mileage on a centrally mounted LCD, with the Boost button and assist controls within thumb reach either side.
Engineered for Performance and Comfort
180mm Disc Brakes
Stronger stopping force and shorter braking distances than the 160mm discs on the standard EP-2 — worth having on a 30 kg bike carrying a load.
Lockable Front Suspension
The front fork soaks up shocks on uneven surfaces and long distances, and locks out when you want every watt going forward on smooth tarmac.
Removable Battery
The 624Wh pack lifts out for charging at home or at the desk — handy if you park outside, and it means a spare can keep you going all day.
Shimano 7-Speed
Seven gears for smooth pedalling, easier hill climbs and sensible speed control whatever the road is doing.
25 kg Rear Rack
The rack is fitted as standard and rated to 25 kg — enough for deliveries, a big shop or panniers for a weekend away.
Automatic Brake Light
The rear light brightens automatically when you brake — a real advantage in Dublin traffic and on dark winter evenings.
Compact Foldability
Folds to 99 × 55 × 75 cm
The frame and stem both fold, so the bike goes in a car boot, a camper or a hallway. At 30 kg it is a solid lift, but it rolls on its folded wheels.
