ENGWE Zip

from eMotors: Electric Revolution · host eMotors Electric Revolution

The ENGWE Zip is a compact, folding electric bike specifically designed for high-frequency urban commuting and "last mile" travel. Marketed as a more affordable rival to premium brands like Brompton, it aims to solve the core challenges of city life: carrying, storing, and charging.Revolutionary Charging & Battery TechnologyThe Zip's most distinctive feature is its 36V 10Ah (360 Wh) removable LG battery. It is the first e-bike of its kind to support PD3.0 USB-C charging, allowing it to be recharged using a standard 100W laptop charger. A full charge takes approximately 6.5 hours and provides a range of up to 120 km in its lowest assistance mode. Additionally, the battery doubles as a portable power station, featuring two USB-C ports to charge devices like smartphones, iPads, or cameras while on the move.Advanced Urban PerformanceDespite its compact size, the Zip is built for responsive performance:Torque Sensor: Unlike standard cadence sensors, the built-in torque sensor detects pedal pressure instantly to provide a natural and smooth riding experience.Motor & Drivetrain: It features a 250W rear hub motor delivering 40Nm of torque, paired with a Shimano 7-speed drivetrain for versatile riding across city inclines.Safety & Comfort: The bike is equipped with hydraulic disc brakes for superior stopping power and a shock-absorbing seatpost to compensate for the lack of frame suspension.Construction: The frame is made of steel for rigidity and durability, and it features a unique one-sided (lefty) front fork.Lightweight & Compact: Weighing just 16.9 kg (without battery), it is light enough to carry onto public transport or up stairs.Triple-Fold Mechanism: Using a patented mechanism, the bike can be folded in just 3 seconds to the size of cabin luggage.Innovative Security: The battery is housed in a secure, waterproof front bag. For added theft deterrence, the removable pedals, seat, and battery can be taken with the user, leaving little for a thief to steal.Ultimate Portability and SecurityThe ENGWE Zip is engineered for maximum convenience:Pricing and ValueLaunched alongside ENGWE's 12th Anniversary celebration, the Zip is priced at approximately €999 / £899. This price point often includes an anniversary gift package containing accessories like a lock and mirrors. The bike is designed to be fully adjustable, fitting riders from approximately 5 feet to 6'3" tall.
