Engwe Engine X Full-Suspension Folding Fat Tyre Electric Bike

The Engwe Engine X is a full-suspension folding fat tyre electric bike built to handle whatever Ireland puts under the wheels. A 250W brushless hub motor with 55Nm of torque assists to the road-legal 25km/h EU limit, and a removable 48V 13Ah (624Wh) battery is rated at up to 120km in pedal assist. Front fork and mid-frame shock work with 20" x 4.0" fat tyres to take the sting out of broken tarmac and forest track, a Shimano 7-speed drivetrain and 160mm disc brakes keep it simple to live with, and cruise control makes long flat runs easy on the hands. It is a pedal-assist pedelec with no throttle, so there is no grey area about riding it on Irish roads. Available in Kenshi Black, White and Red at Inner City Scooters, Dublin.

A Trustworthy Companion, as Strong as a Tank

Full suspension, fat tyres and a folding 6061 aluminium frame, in a bike that stays a proper EU pedelec for Irish roads, greenways and cycle lanes.

Reliable Power, Exceptional Torque

A 250W brushless hub motor producing 55Nm, which is what you feel pulling away from a junction or holding speed on a drag. Gradients of up to 10 degrees are handled comfortably, and assistance cuts off at 25km/h to keep the Engine X EU-compliant.

Goodbye to Range Anxiety

Engwe rates the removable 48V 13Ah pack at up to 120km in pedal-assist mode. It lifts out with a key for indoor charging and takes around 6.5 hours to fill. Real-world range depends on rider weight, assist level, hills, wind and temperature, so treat 120km as best case.

Suspension and Fat Tyres, Working Together

The shock-absorbing front fork and mid-frame rear shock give the Engine X full suspension, and the 20" x 4.0" fat tyres absorb what is left. Between them you get control and comfort on gravel, forest track and the sort of patched road surface that is normal here.

Tackle Any Terrain

Mountain, forest or city centre, the Engine X does not need a change of tyre or a change of plan. Fold it into the boot, drive to the start of the ride, and unfold it there.

Built Around the Details

Lockable Front Fork

An aluminium shock-absorbing fork with a mechanical lock: open for rough ground, locked out for efficient road pedalling.

Mid-Frame Rear Shock

A mid-mounted rear shock completes the full-suspension setup, keeping the back wheel planted where a hardtail would skip.

LED Rear Light with Brake Light

The rear light brightens when you brake, so traffic behind gets the same signal it would from a car. A real safety gain on dark evenings.

Key-Locked Removable Battery

The 624Wh pack sits inside the frame and comes out with a key, so you can charge indoors and leave nothing worth taking on the bike.

Folding Pedals with Reflectors

Semi-aluminium folding pedals with built-in reflectors, so they fold flat with the bike and still meet the basics for road use.

Cruise Control

Hold a steady assist level without constant input, which makes a long flat run along a greenway noticeably easier on the hands and wrists.

6061 Aluminium Folding Frame

A 6061 aluminium alloy frame that folds down to 104 x 55 x 84cm. At 31.7kg it is a two-handed lift, and taking the battery out first makes loading it into a car a good deal easier.
