    The Fuell FollD-1 electric bicycle is now accessible in the United States and European Union.

    The Fuell Folld-1 folding fat-tire e-bike is now available for purchase in the EU and the US. This e-bike is foldable and features a powerful 750W Bafang motor, making it suitable for off-road terrains.

    Features

    The Fuell Folld-1 is the first folding electric bicycle manufactured by Fuell. While Fuell recently launched the Flluid-2 and Flluid-3 bikes, the Folld-1 is specifically designed for both urban and off-road rides. It is equipped with 20 x 4-inch tires, providing a smooth riding experience on challenging terrains. The 750W Bafang electric motor in the Folld-1 boasts a torque of 85Nm and can reach a top speed of 32km/h in the US and 25km/h in the EU. Additionally, the e-bike offers five assistance levels, and the US version includes a thumb throttle.

    Battery and Suspension

    The Folld-1 comes with a removable 720Wh battery, offering an assistance range of 113km (70 miles). It takes approximately 6 hours to fully recharge the battery, which may be inconvenient for on-the-go riders. However, the extended range and the removable battery are significant advantages of this e-bike. The Folld-1 is also equipped with a full suspension system, featuring a Mozo Fatman hydraulic suspension fork at the front and a Fastace ZXC01 at the rear. Moreover, it includes a color display and other essential features.

    Unibody Magnesium Alloy Frame

    The e-bike features a foldable unibody magnesium alloy frame, providing enhanced versatility. However, with a weight of approximately 37.4kg, the Folld-1 is relatively heavy compared to other models in its category.

    Pricing and Availability

    The Fuell Folld-1 electric bicycle is currently available in the US and the EU, priced at $1,995 and €1,995 respectively. This is an introductory price, and there is no information available regarding when the original price of $2,495 / €2,495 will be implemented.

It comes with a more powerful motor than initially planned and also offers an increased range. It has a maximum torque of 40Nm which allows the rider to navigate inclines up to 18%. The top speed of the Extreme e-scooter is either 20km/h, 25km/h, or 32km/h according to regulatory caps in different jurisdictions.

    Flexible Speed Modes and Swappable Battery

    The Acer Predator Extreme has three speed modes which can be chosen via the handlebar-mounted controller. It has a swappable 48V 10.5Ah battery that delivers a riding range of 35km on a single charge. The swappable battery allows the rider to extend the range of the e-scooter with an extra battery pack. The dual suspension system of the e-scooter combines a front telescopic fork and a rear shock absorber. The scooter has a low center of gravity and its 10-inch crocodile tires offer enhanced grip and safety while on the trail. The PES017 also comes with hydraulic disc brakes and indicator lights.

    Expected Pricing & Availability

    The Acer Predator Extreme PES017 will be available in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa in Q2, 2024, according to the company. The model will retail in the selected markets for the equivalent of about $1,400. There are no indications yet on when the PES017 off-road e-scooter will be available in the US and Canada.
