It has a unique three-fold mechanism and a sleek, portable design. The design allows users to ride to their destination and fold up the e-bike for easy storage wherever they are. Kinson Chan is the brainpower behind the ONEBOT-S7. Its frame is constructed using the die casting process, which enables the designer to use a single piece of magnesium and aluminum alloy for the entire bike. Moreover, the unibody and mono-material construction create a lightweight design without sacrificing durability. When the e-bike is not in use, owners can fold it int a compressed size measuring 60cm in height and length and 35cm in width, ideal for urban households.
