GOTRAX E-FOLD
BikeRide finds and shows you the best prices of the bikes you want to buy. Prices constantly change and it’s impossible to compare them all yourself.
We search for prices on over 120 bike retailers to guarantee that we find the lowest prices – to save you time and money.
It’s a promise we stand behind: If you find a lower price on a bike elsewhere, we will sell it to you for 10% less. For example, if you find a bike for $480 that we have listed at $500, we will offer you to buy it for $432 through BikeRide. The bike must be the same color and size, sold in the US and not include the use of a coupon.
If you find a lower price, email us at [email protected] with documentation of the price. We’re committed to making sure that the cost of a bike does not keep you from cycling!

9 reasons to buy

6 reasons not to buy
- In testing, the mechanical disc brakes are weak and noisy.
- Pedal assist has a one-second delay to activate, and it overruns for a half-second after pedaling stops.
- Ghost pedaling occurs at speeds as low as 11mph.
- Experts say the E-FOLD's single-speed drivetrain and small motor make steep inclines a struggle.

- Testers dislike the unrefined, on/off feel to the pedal assist.
Bottom line
The GOTRAX E-FOLD is a compact, low-cost folding e-bike that's UL-certified and equipped with commuter accessories. Testing reveals weak, noisy brakes and unrefined pedal assist. The throttle delivers smooth, usable acceleration, and the bike reaches almost 20mph over flat ground, but climbs are a struggle. All things considered, at this price, the relatively comfortable and portable GOTRAX E-FOLD offers excellent value for urban riders on a tight budget and is recommended by all testers.Expert Reviews
