A folding Ebike is exactly how it sounds: a folding Ebike. Usually, they will fold at the stem, and somewhere in the middle of the frame, though bikes equipped with a folding stem may qualify, even though the frame itself doesn't fold. These are ideal for those who want to transport their bike in a car or a smaller SUV, or those who are short on storage space.
