The 'DYU T1' is a new foldable electric bike from DYU, a Hong Kong-based leading e-bike manufacturer. This e-bike boasts a unique magnesium alloy frame, which offers a lighter weight than its 6061 aluminum counterparts. This bike, in total, weighs only 48lbs. When this weight is combined with its three-stage folding mechanism, it makes the T1 very easy to load into a small trunk, carry up or downstairs, or store in a closet at home.
Aside from its frame, the DYU T1 is equipped with a modest 250-watt motor and a 10Ah battery pack. These electric components deliver am maximum speed of 15.5 miles per hour and a maximum range of 30 miles per charge. However, this range will differ based on the selected riding mode, as the bike supports throttle, pedal assist, and pure pedal riding modes.
The DYU T1 is available now at a discounted price of $869 USD (MSRP $969.)
