The 2024 version of the 'Unio E20' commuter e-bike makes use of a hinge mechanism that enables it to be quickly and easily folded down to dimensions of only 81 x 42 x 71 cm, with the bike's weight of 18.7 kg making it easy to haul onto the train or stash in the car. Elsewhere, this commuter e-bike offers pedal assistance levels of up to 32 km/h, with its lithium-ion battery offering up to 100 km of riding enjoyment on a full charge.
