- The T1 has a torque sensor that produces smoother, more natural pedaling compared to the cadence sensors typically used in this price range.

6 reasons not to buy
- Experts say the lack of a display or companion app limits the bike’s appeal.
- A reviewer laments the “simple” battery indicator.
- The T1 only has one pedal assist level. Testers feel this reduces ride enjoyment.
- Reviewers say the optional fenders negatively impact the bike’s aesthetics
- According to some experts, the suspension seatpost offers little benefit.
- One tester reports as little as 20 miles of real-world range, falling short of DYU’s rating.
Bottom line
The DYU T1 is a “well-built,” entry-level folding e-bike with a 250W motor, torque sensor, and a “unique” aesthetic. Reviewers praise the quick and easy folding process, relatively low weight, brakes, and punchy motor. The inclusion of a torque sensor is also noteworthy at this price point. The main drawbacks include the lack of a display, inadequate battery level indicator, underwhelming range, and its single PAS level. Despite these limitations, the DYU T1 is considered a “reasonably priced” folding commuter.Expert Reviews
