Where to buy
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!

Bottom line
The Vtuvia SF20 is a fat tire folding e-bike. It's available in two configurations, one with a standard rack (SF20) and the other with a frame-integrated rack (SF20H). Both builds have fenders and lights. Experts relish the off-road performance, hill climbing ability, rapid acceleration, and decent range. The SF20 also earns praise for its stability, comfort, and ergonomics. However, multiple buyers report battery issues and disappointing delivery and customer service, along with other minor gripes. Additionally, the bike's substantial weight (70lb) reduces portability. Despite this, the Vtuvia SF20 is considered an appealing, affordable option in the folding e-bike segment.Expert Reviews
