Engwe Zip Lightweight Folding Electric Bike

The Engwe Zip is built around one idea: a bike you can actually take with you. Engwe's patented triple-fold design collapses it in about three seconds to roughly the footprint of a 20-inch suitcase — 62.5 × 37.4 × 67.3 cm — and at 16.9 kg without the battery it is light enough to carry up stairs or onto a train. A 250W rear hub motor with 40Nm and a torque sensor gives natural, EU-legal assist to 25 km/h, and the 360Wh LG battery is rated to 120 km. It charges over USB-C PD 3.0 from a 100W GaN charger — and will charge your phone or laptop back. Hydraulic disc brakes, Shimano 7-speed, a suspension seatpost and StVZO-compliant lights. CE EN15194 certified by TÜV, Cycle to Work eligible, and in stock at Inner City Scooters, Dublin.

Made for Daily Transportation

Your Day, Uninterrupted

Portable · Capable · Comfortable · Enjoyable. City mobility usually comes with a trade-off — public transport is crowded and inflexible, traditional bikes are bulky and hard to store, and most folding bikes feel limiting once you are off the road. The Zip is designed to move with you rather than around you.

Fold It. Carry It. Ride It.

Urban Commuting

Ride when it is needed, fold and carry when it is not. No waiting for a bus, no squeezing onto a packed carriage.

Public Transport Transfer

Compact enough to bring on the DART, the Luas or a train — no awkward lifting and no space stress at the doors.

Working Away From the Desk

Fold it under the table. Take the battery with you. Stay mobile and powered wherever you end up working.

Inside Storage

Fits where full-size bikes do not — behind a door, under a bed, in a hall press, in a small Dublin apartment.

4 + 2 Bike Camping

Three Zips fit easily in a car boot — genuinely three, not a marketing three. Ideal for short getaways and weekend rides.

Luggage-Sized When Folded

Folded, it takes about the floor space of a 20-inch suitcase. It stands on its own and stays out of the way.

Made to be Carried

Why Portability Actually Matters

Most folding e-bikes fold but are still too heavy to lift. At 16.9 kg without the battery and 19.4 kg with it, the Zip is one you can genuinely carry up the stairs, into a lift or onto a train.

Power You Can Take With You

USB-C PD 3.0, Both Ways

The battery comes out in a portable case — so it is not sitting on the street waiting to be stolen — and it charges over USB-C PD 3.0 from the included 100W GaN charger. It also discharges over the same port, so it will top up your phone or laptop while you work.

No Charging Anxiety

120 km From a 360Wh LG Battery

Engwe's real-world figures are 120 km at PAS 1, 85 km at PAS 2 and 60 km at PAS 3. Genuine LG cells with built-in BMS protection — a lot of range from a small, light pack.

Designed for City Riding Comfort

Torque Sensor, Suspension Seatpost, Wider Tyres

A torque sensor for natural assist, a suspension seatpost for the bumps, and 16" × 1.95" e-bike-specific urban tyres — wider than a standard 16" tyre, which is what makes a small-wheeled bike feel stable rather than twitchy.

Balanced Power, Effortless Control

Rear Hub, Not Front Hub

The 250W motor sits in the rear wheel, so the weight is balanced between your hands and the saddle. Front-hub folders pull under power and wash out on wet corners; this does not.

Ready for Various City Terrain

40Nm of responsive torque and a Shimano Tourney 7-speed drivetrain with an 11–28T cassette. From flat streets to gentle slopes, the power shifts smoothly and the ride stays steady.

It's All In the Details

3.2" LCD Colour Display

Speed, battery level and riding mode at a glance, with Bluetooth and ENGWE App control.

1.95" E-Bike Tyres

Built for urban mobility and specified for e-bike loads — city streets handled easily, with a smooth and stable ride.

Hydraulic Disc Brakes

160mm rotors front and rear. Smooth, responsive and light at the lever — a real step up from the cable brakes on most folders.

Adjustable Stem

Adapt the riding position to your height and preference for a more ergonomic posture, then fold the stem flat.

No Setup Needed

Ready right out of the box — no assembly, no tools. Unfold it and ride. Unusual for an e-bike, and genuinely true of this one.

StVZO-Compliant Lights

A 30 Lux headlight and an always-on taillight to the German StVZO road-safety standard — legal and genuinely visible after dark.

Two Colourways

Olive Green

Deep olive with orange accents

Grey

Graphite grey with orange accents
