Should you buy one?
Buy the EP-2 Pro if you need a full-size e-bike that folds small enough to go in a car trunk, and you want lights, fenders and a rear rack included. I rode mine for about two weeks. It came out of the box fully assembled, it folds in about 30 seconds, and it fit in the trunk of my Tesla Model 3.
Skip it if you need to lift your bike often, or you want strong throttle starts on hills. It’s still heavy when folded (Engwe lists it at 66 lbs), and from a stop on an incline the throttle felt a little slow.
There’s one big catch right now: as of Oct 22, 2026, Engwe’s US site lists the EP-2 Pro at $1,399 but shows every color as sold out. My Amazon link is below if it comes back in stock there.

Who it’s for
- Apartment and small-car owners. It folds in half, and the pedals fold flat. It fit in the trunk of my Tesla Model 3. With the seat folded down, I think you could fit two in the back of a Model 3.
- Commuters. The battery comes out with a key, so you can charge it at your desk. You also get a headlight, tail light, fenders and a rack, which is what you want for riding in bad weather.
- Riders between about 5’4” and 6’2”. That’s Engwe’s listed rider height range. I’m about 6’1” and 200 lbs, and it fit me.
- People who want a throttle. It has one, and you can ride without pedaling.
Who should look elsewhere
- Anyone who has to carry it up stairs. Folding makes it smaller, not lighter. Those fat tires don’t help.
- Heavier riders. I said in my video that the bike is rated for no more than 300 lbs; Engwe’s current page lists a 330 lb maximum load. Either way, check the number before you buy if you’re close to it.
- Hill-start riders. If your commute starts on a steep grade, you’ll want more power. I said in the video I’d like to see a 1,000 watt motor on this bike.
- Anyone who wants to buy today. Engwe’s own store has it sold out.
EP-2 Pro specs vs what I saw
Engwe’s spec numbers come from the current product page (as of Oct 22, 2026). The second column is what I measured or said in my video.
| Engwe’s page | My test | |
|---|---|---|
| Peak motor power (W) | 960 | Not listed |
| Motor power I quoted (W) | Not listed | 750 |
| Battery (V) | 48 | Not listed |
| Battery (Ah) | 13 | Not listed |
| Throttle-only range (mi) | 24 | 23 |
| PAS range (mi) | 75 | Not listed |
| Top speed (mph) | 26 | 28 |
| Throttle top speed (mph) | Not listed | 20 |
| Weight (lbs) | 66 | Not listed |
| Max load (lbs) | 330 | 300 |
| Tire width (in) | 4.0 | 4.0 |
| Wheel size (in) | 20 | Not listed |
| Rear gears | 7 | Not listed |
| Fold time (seconds) | Not listed | 30 |
| Price, USD (as of Oct 22, 2026) | 1,399 | Not listed |
A few of these numbers don’t line up, and I’d rather show you than hide it:
- Motor. In the video I called it a 750 watt motor. Engwe’s page today lists “960W peak.” The page URL itself still says 750W. These two numbers can both be true (rated vs peak), but Engwe doesn’t list a rated number on the current page, so I can’t confirm it.
- Torque. Engwe’s own page says 55 N.m in the spec list and 90Nm in the headline. I don’t know which is right, so I left torque out of the table.
- Top speed. I hit 28 mph in pedal assist level 5 with what I called “moderately aggressive pedaling.” Engwe’s page says 26 mph.
Folding: the best part
Here’s how it goes:
- Undo the latch at the handlebar.
- Undo the larger frame latch. It has an extra lock on it for safety.
- Flip down the pedals and kick up the kickstand.
- The bike folds basically in half.
Unfolding is the same in reverse. Swing the front wheel around, lock the big center latch, flip the pedals back out, and raise the handlebars until they latch. In my video, I timed it at about 25 to 30 seconds to fold it down completely, and about 30 seconds to unfold it, adjust the seat and power it up.
There’s also a metal bracket under the frame that keeps the bike from resting on the chain when folded. That’s a small detail that will save you a greasy mess.
My bike shipped fully assembled. It came folded in the box with protective padding and a small tool kit. I didn’t have to put a tire on or anything.
The controls and the ride
On the right grip you have the throttle, the rear brake and the shifter. The display in the center shows battery and speed. On the left you have a bell and the buttons to move pedal assist up and down. I really liked the oversized grips. They were extra comfortable when I took it off-road.
The seat is one of the more comfortable ones I’ve used. The front fork is fine. It’s not super high quality, but it’s what I’d expect at a price around $1,000.
The key is under the main folding buckle, and it turns the battery on and off. Without the key, the bike won’t power on. That’s a nice safety feature.
At about 200 lbs, I had plenty of power going up and down hills. The one weak spot is starting from a stop on an incline. The throttle felt a little slow at first, but once it gets going, it really gets going. It had no problem reaching 20 mph on the throttle. In PAS 5, I reached 28 mph with some pedaling.
The brakes had no problem stopping me. Engwe lists 160mm mechanical disc brakes, not hydraulic.
Range test
I did a max range test from a full charge down to zero and got 23 miles at full throttle, no pedaling at all. That’s with me at about 200 lbs, on a route with a good amount of hills.
Engwe lists 24 miles in electric mode and 75 in pedal assist mode, so my throttle result came in right next to their number. If you pedal, you should do a lot better than 23.
Charging is simple. You can charge the battery on the bike or take it out and charge it inside. Engwe lists a 48V 2A charger.

Mine did. It came fully assembled and folded in the box, with a small tool kit.
What’s the weight limit?
Engwe’s current page lists a maximum load of 330 lbs. In my video I said 300 lbs. If you’re near either number, check with Engwe first.

Yes. It locks in with a key, and you can take it inside to charge.
Price
When I filmed this in 2021, the bike was about $1,100 on Amazon, and there was a $100 off coupon at the time. As of Oct 22, 2026, Engwe’s US store lists the EP-2 Pro at $1,399, but every color is sold out. I couldn’t confirm a current Amazon price.
