This e-bike has a durable aluminum frame that can be folded in seconds. You can also adjust the handlebars to suit your height and riding style. The e-bike has a simple and elegant design that comes in either black or white. The e-bike runs on a 250-watt motor that can go as fast as 15.5 mph. You can choose from three modes of riding: throttle only, pedal-to-go, and pedal-only. The throttle mode lets you ride without pedaling, the pedal-to-go mode gives you an electric boost when you pedal, and the pedal-only mode turns off the motor and lets you use the e-bike as a normal bike. The e-bike has a 36V 7.8Ah battery that can be taken out and charged anywhere. The battery can last for over 15 miles on one charge. The e-bike also has powerful disc brakes for safe stopping and 14-inch tires for a smooth ride. The e-bike costs $999.99 and you can buy it from Sportchek, [Walmart](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gotrax-z4-pro), [Amazon](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kqi-100f), [eBay](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/swytch-go), or Swagtron’s website.
