Should you buy one?
Buy the Engine Pro if you want a folding fat-tire bike with full suspension that fits in a sedan or SUV without a bike rack (7:43 to 7:51). It has a front fork and a rear shock (4:31 to 4:41), hydraulic disc brakes (0:59 to 1:02, 3:18 to 3:20), cruise control (2:51 to 3:08), and an optional rear-rack battery for longer commutes (0:18 to 0:34).
Skip it if you want clean cabling or a torque sensor. A lot of cable runs outside the frame, zip-tied near the fork (5:14 to 5:39). It uses a cadence sensor (4:48 to 4:58), and the key has to stay in the bike while you ride (5:42 to 5:58).
The deciding factor: folding plus full suspension versus external cables and weight. Engwe lists 69.88 lb.
See Engwe’s current bikes (Engwe’s US site lists it at $1,599, out of stock and sold only in US retail stores, as of Oct 23, 2026)

What I didn’t test
I didn’t run a range test, a top-speed test, or a braking test, and I didn’t weigh the bike. The range figures, 69.88 lb weight and 330 lb load are Engwe’s numbers. I didn’t confirm Engwe’s claim that the second battery doubles range (7:01 to 7:08).
Who it’s for
- Riders who need to fold a fat-tire bike into a sedan or SUV (7:43 to 7:51).
- Commuters who can’t always plug in and want the second battery (7:51 to 8:04).
- Riders on rough ground who want full suspension (4:31 to 4:41).
- A range of rider heights; the handlebar raises and lowers (3:39 to 3:46).
Who should look elsewhere
- Riders who want a step-through; this has a cross beam (3:46 to 3:53).
- Anyone who dislikes external cabling (5:14 to 5:39).
- Riders who want a torque sensor (4:48 to 4:58).
- Anyone who doesn’t want to leave a key in the bike (5:42 to 5:58).

FAQ
Does it fold?
Yes. The frame folds in the center and the handlebar folds down (0:37 to 0:46). I said it fits in a sedan or SUV without a rack (7:43 to 7:51).
Is the second battery worth it?
If you commute far or can’t always charge, I think it’s a good option (7:51 to 8:04). It cost about $400 when I recorded (0:22 to 0:28).
Does it have cruise control?
Yes. Hold the throttle for about 5 to 7 seconds and it holds that speed (2:51 to 3:08).
