Summary of Reviews

We have read all expert and user reviews on the DYU A1F Pro. In summary, this is what cyclists think.

8 reasons to buy

  • The majority of reviewers feel the A1F Pro offers good value.
  • Testers are pleased with the A1F Pro’s quick acceleration.
  • This bike comes with fenders, lights, a cargo rack, a “loud” horn, and a front basket.
  • Experts say the mechanical disc brakes provide ample stopping power.
  • Testers enjoy the nimble ride, maneuvering the bike with ease.
  • Testers praise this bike as “highly portable” A1F Pro when folded, but the folded dimensions DYU gives make no sense.
  • Most experts agree the sprung saddle is comfortable.
  • DYU provides a remote control alarm and remote key fob with the A1F Pro.

9 reasons not to buy

  • Experts think the A1F Pro is quite heavy (48lb), given its small size.
  • The small 16” wheels and rigid frame mean comfort will be lacking for some.
  • Reviewers say the motor struggles on steeper gradients.
  • The A1F Pro has a single-speed drivetrain and one pedal assist mode, limiting its functionality.
  • The max speed is only 15.5mph.
  • Experts say the cramped cockpit and insufficient seatpost height result in discomfort when pedaling.
  • The A1F Pro lacks a speedometer and odometer.
  • DYU is unclear about the true weight capacity of this bike.
  • The A1F Pro’s battery isn’t removable.

Bottom line

DYU's A1F Pro is a budget folding e-bike with 16-inch wheels and a 350W motor. It includes a rear rack, front basket, lights, and fenders. The small size makes it portable, but at 48lb, it's not easy to lift and carry, and the motor struggles on steep hills. Reviewers say taller riders will find it uncomfortable, and the poor pedaling position, single-speed gearing, and single PAS mode discourage riders from pedaling, with most relying on throttle power. Despite these drawbacks, testers generally agree that the A1F is a decent budget-friendly option that "gets the job done" on short, flat commutes.

Compact Folding E-Bike for the City: DYU A1F Review

Level 1 expert

… highly portable… foldable, mostly designed for short urban commutes, and not too heavy… it’s a pretty good match, especially if you can find it at a good discounted price.

DYU A1F Electric City Bike Review: Unboxing, Setup, Charging & First Impressions

Level 1 expert

… it has been good, it’s been reliable, the stand’s good, it’s got all of the features that I would want and need. However, if I wanted to, for example, go off-road, then I wouldn’t get this bike.

This Small E-Bike Is So Much Fun | DYU A1F Review

Level 1 expert

… it’s so low to the ground that it’s very maneuverable and very fun. Of course, I’m a speed junkie, so I wish this would go faster, but not all e-bikes have to go a million miles [per] hour.

Is This a Good Lightweight Folding E-Bike? – DYU A1F

Level 1 expert

… it’s not so good on steep hills. Do not buy this bike if you live in San Francisco, but [in] any reasonably flat, mildly undulating city center it’s perfect, and it fits in your compact car.

Folding Electric Bike Review | Full Unboxing of E-Bike Model: “DYU A1F” | Features | How to Fold

Level 1 expert

The frame is really well built and solid, and I have to say, it’s a lovely piece of engineering; it’s beautiful. The bike can also handle upward inclines effortlessly; the disc brakes are very responsive when braking.

Inexpensive E-Bike by DYU | Meet the A1F

Level 1 expert

… it is definitely a little bit small for me, but I think it is nice and it has some versatility. It’s not super powerful, but it gets the job done.

DYU A1F Folding Electric City Bike | DYU E-Bike Review

Level 1 expert

… good range, it travels at a reasonable pace, you’ve got built-in lights, [and] you can even lock the bike. It’s got plenty going for it; the only slight negative for me is the fact that it’s a bit heavy.
