If you don’t know which type of e-bike to buy, you should probably get this one

I think of these as "American bikes" as I virtually never see anyone riding one here in Finland. Everyone has a normal, full size bike.
- I have a normal full size bike that I love (Trek 820 ST), but I also own a Portola and I gotta say it's super handy especially with a front rack.
The correct answer, for the largest number of people, is the 20″ folder e-bike.
By that, I mean a folding e-bike with 20-inch diameter tires. That’s the best-selling e-bike category in the US, and it does the widest number of things for the largest number of people.
And if we’re narrowing it down even further, you’d probably be best served by a front suspension folder with 20×3″ tires. I’ll show you several, and if you want to get fancy with rear suspension too, there are also options there. But as an all-around, jack-of-all-trades electric bike? This format checks more boxes for more riders than almost anything else on two wheels.
Totally agree. Foldables are very practical for both transportation and storage.
