My new folding electric bike (FINALLY a great value option)

Comfortable, stylish, and ACTUALLY affordable, the Estarli E20 is the perfect first folding e-bike.

We’ve covered a lot of folding e-bikes on the channel recently, but we really think the E20 is worth shouting about. Eilis takes it for a spin, and tells all about this underdog e-bike set to challenge the big guns.

Love mine. Done 134km on it so far but my commute has 200m of climbing on the way home. Handles it fine 👍

My bike was £660 HIMO Z20
10AH 36V 250W, 20”tyres, 2 sets of mudguards, 6 gears, Disc brakes. Had it 2 years and loving it.

I love this bike so much I bought one not received yet out of stock but excited. There is one major problem though for commuters. The battery being in the seat post means anyone can come along just flick the quick release clamp and walk away with the battery £300 plus. There is nothing locking the battery in place. Plus there is no point you can secure with a chain or any kind of lock. This means you would have to take the battery with you. The tube is massive, they should add a locking mechanism or a secure o ring point welded to the tube so you can run a security chain or cable through 👍. The saddle with a security cable is useless as you just take the seat off.

Only 110km in so far, but loving mine. Also blue, rides well as Eilis states size matters with rubber. Leccy power is great, balance spot on and I don’t look like I’m riding a clown bike (it’s not too small and I’m 6’2”!) Love how it looks, almost BMX like if you squint.

No issues on hills and frankly I’m not changing gears in it, only assist levels. Still rides well on no assistance too and I give it a decent range of challenges. Has a nice walk assist mode for a little boost from the lights if you need, but gets a move on happily enough.

Only gripe so far - mine wears insulating tape where it’s likely to mark on the rear of the frame (shown in some of the shots) where the handlebars can scratch - same on the bars. Will protect it more permanently soon, but too busy enjoying it at present.

I hope here in the UK we adopt cycling more and more as a form of everyday transport, We seem to be a bit snotty towards cycling in this country. We treat cyclists as a hinderance and look down on them as if they're losers even when they are just riding in a cycle lane not bothering anyone else.

I nearly bought one of these for commuting, I really like it but in the end opted for a mountain bike as that offers more flexibility on where you can ride.

I’ve had one of these for 4 months and love it.

I bought the 16.7 and I flipping love it, the riding position is just perfect.

[UrbanExplorer]

They used to be affordable but they have now put the price up numerous times. There's much better for less money now!

[jasonporthouse]

This is identical to the Mycle Compact, your last 'fave rave'. Only the Mycle is cheaper. There seems to be a plethora of these identical bikes coming out now from different 'UK Manafacturers'. These films feel more like advertorials now - I wish you as a channel would be more upfront as it seems less than credible.

"It's just so usable, you really can take this anywhere and everywhere" - well i doubt you can, it's folding measures are huge, I would say you can transport it better on a train when not folded (or only the steering folded down), but only if there are not many people on the train. Furthermore it weighs 17, 5 kg, this is pretty heavy for a "folding bike". The Brompton (non-electric) and its copy, the Dahon curl i4 are the only usable folding bikes, you can really take everywhere, even on a bus or under the table in a cafe.

who ever is editing these videos i just wanna say that i think you are doing a good job. never stop the memes plz. :D

I'm so torn between getting a full sized ebike or a foldable. The main issue I have is having to secure a ebile outside a shop for instance whereas you can (within reason) take a folding back in a shop (supermarket most likely).

[rocker-barrel]

Electric is the future guys ! Ive had 2 in the past years.

[timtube]

Really interested in this bike. Thanks Eilis for another great review, love your humour. One question, anyone had any experience on hills with this bike?

[davidf]

I just used a Lime e-bike for the first time -- £5.60 for a 20-minute ride! Makes one of these seem cheap.

[Fernando-gtjt]

What's the difference between e20 and e16? Also it was great of them to hide the battery but I think the bold E still gives it away 😂

[britishbushido]

This bike increased in price by £200+ on 5 Months?

[tobias]

Would this survive a 3000 mile a year commute for a couple of years?

[ammadkhan]

Would you suggest me this bike? I live on 2 floor and Have to carry this bike to the apartment. If you say yes it is okay I will save 1800€ . This cost me 2100€ and brompton c line electric cost me 3800€. Your recommendations will be appreciated
