This bike acts as a sort of vehicle replacement, as it supports a [large payload](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heybike-hauler), features [two seats for a second passenger](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mod-easy-sidecar-3), and folds down to a compact size for convenient storage with a wheel that makes it easy to roll. Additionally, with no extra payload, the bike weighs only 53 pounds, which is definitely carryable when required. The bike features a modest 350W rear-hub motor powered by a 480 Wh battery pack. These specifications result in a max pedal-assisted speed of 20 miles per hour and a range of roughly 40 miles per charge when using a low level of pedal assistance. The Flyer Folding Cargo Electric Bike is available now at an MSRP of $1,699 USD.
