    Cute mini e-bike for the boot

    The electric folding bike looks cute and fits nicely in the trunk of the car. The trunk of my station wagon would even be able to swallow two of these bikes. You don't even have to fold up the back seats. This is of course ideal for loners and couples who mainly travel by car, but need a bike for shorter distances, be it at work, on a trip or on holiday.

    The Klapvelo is made of high quality magnesium alloy (presumably alloy of magnesium, aluminium and silicon) and is relatively robust. Therefore, the bike would also cope with people weighing over 100 kg.

    On the other hand, for people who carry an electric folding bike as hand luggage on the train or bus/tram, the bike is too heavy and bulky at 18 kg. The e-clap bike can be folded quickly with a little practice, but is still quite bulky to carry or drag on the ground. For such application, I would already use a foldable e-bike with carbon(carbon fiber composite) frame. Such foldable carbon e-bikes are usually much more expensive though.

    The bike has 4 gears in principle. Only 1st gear works without motor. At gear 2,3,4 the motor switches on automatically. I.e. with the engine switched off you can only ride in first gear. When going uphill, you either have to use the gears with the motor or push on foot :-)

    The biggest problem with this bike is the ergonomically very bad gear shifter. Instead of a common gear lever or handle you have to press tiny buttons, as big as calculator keys, on the console. With gloves on you have a bad chance to get the right button anyway. Also the bike bell looks like a cheap bell bought from a bike shop and screwed on.

    The bike has no rear light, only a reflector. Velo rear light could soon be obligatory. I have mounted a makeshift battery-powered rear light myself.

    City runabout with limitations

    This little city runabout is really fun and the processing -made in China notabene- convinced so far (2 months in use).
    Three electronically installed (supportive) steps are sufficient for this size of the bike and skillfully     implemented (the up and down switching in the steps occurs promptly). On larger and longer inclines (bsp in the city of Bern the Aargauerstalden) copes with the speedster is not and you still have to pedal hard.
    But just the size: with my 100kg on 190cm I am just at the outer edge of a possible target audience (like de SVP also always, gell you). I.e. heavier and bigger please not, already only on view of the one existing rear axle suspension. In addition, one must consider that with (over)long legs the danger exists that the knees can bump in front at the handlebars (I'm still just under it, because thanks to the genes my limbs are proportionally in line).
    Conclusion:
    Not suitable for long tours and climbs. For the city and surrounding area in any case! Body size & weight note! Oh yes, is also still foldable and the battery can be charged separately in the apartment or directly on the bike.
