The Best Folding Electric Bikes for 2025
Getting around town can be congested and demanding, sometimes the simple pleasures - like riding an electric bike to get around - provide a practical & welcome escape. But let’s face it, not everyone has room for a full-sized bike at home.
Folding eBikes can be a smart choice for modern mobility, offering convenience, flexibility, and a practical way to navigate busy streets, multi-stage journeys, and new territories. Whether it’s storing them at home, taking them on the train or fitting into the car, they’re purpose-built for life on the move.
At Fully Charged, we pride ourselves on curating only the best folding eBikes that meet exacting standards for quality, reliability, and long-term value. While there are folding eBikes available at lower price points, we firmly believe that anything under £3,499 often compromises on critical elements like build quality, battery performance or safety, and ride experience.
Below, we’ve rounded up our best folding eBikes for 2025 - top-tier models that combine performance, portability, reliability and quality.

Looking Beyond the Bike
Cycling Safety: Staying Ahead in 2025
As cycling becomes an increasingly popular mode of transport, safety and regulation remain key topics of discussion. With the rise of eBikes, the importance of maintaining battery health, proper servicing, and adhering to road safety guidelines cannot be overstated.
Key developments for 2025 include:
- Regulation Updates: Motors have to be 250W in order to be still classified as a bicycle, and limited to 15.5MPH.
- Infrastructure Growth: Cities continue to expand their network of cycling lanes, offering safer routes for riders.
- Battery Safety: Riders are encouraged buy from reputed manufacturers and shops, and to service their eBikes regularly to ensure batteries are functioning optimally and avoid unnecessary risks.
