7 reasons not to buy

A 305lb reviewer gets just 16.1 miles of range using maximum assist and throttle on a hilly route.
Mooncool publishes conflicting specs for range, peak power, and rider fit. A 6'0" tester is at the seatpost's maximum extension.
The POP is bulkier than average when folded.
The turn signals don't self-cancel, and they don’t make any sound.
The folding stem rattles over rough ground, according to a tester.
One expert finds play in the kickstand mounting and recommends checking the bolts.
The 2A charger returns lengthy charging times.

Bottom line

The Mooncool POP is the brand’s first two-wheeler, a folding utility bike with a 750W motor and full suspension. Both reviewers rate the bike highly, praising the instant throttle response, smooth pedal assist, comfort, and strong climbing performance. The meager range, slow charging, and weight count against this bike, as do the reports of a rattling stem and play in the kickstand mount. Disappointingly, Mooncool's website also lists several conflicting specs. From early testing, the POP seems a reasonable option in this segment, but it faces strong competition from the Velotric Fold 1 and Lectric XP4.

If you wanted to improve this… give the front fork 80mm of travel with adjustment, and make the rear shocks a little bit softer for lighter riders. It’s a good bike.
