Versatile, Robust, Comfortable, Efficient, Adventurous
With the dawn of the FUELL Folld-1, leisure biking experiences are being reimagined and redesigned. There’s a subtle beckoning in its sleek frame and robust tires, inviting both the weekend warrior and the daily commuter to envision a ride that’s painted with broad strokes of adventure and practicality, encapsulating the thrill of off-road trails and the utility of city navigation in a single masterpiece.
In crafting the Folld-1, a particular attention to the canvas of comfort was evident. Embarking on an odyssey across the fractured tapestry of uneven terrains becomes a ballet of smoothness. The high-quality suspension systems at the front and rear work tirelessly, flattening rugged roads with a finesse that mirrors the caress of a gentle breeze. The fat, 4-inch tires are not mere rubber meeting the road; they are the stabilizers of your journey, offering a ride that whispers in the language of comfort and stability.
Let’s not overlook the engine room of this elegant vehicle — a significant 720 Wh Samsung battery, a powerhouse, assuring you a pedal assist range that whispers promises of 70 miles. It's a whisper you can trust, a silent assurance that you can ride further, longer, and with a carefree spirit that only the certainty of distance can offer.
And for the moments when your heart seeks the thrill of speed, when the uphill terrains challenge, smirk and dare, Folld-1 rises to the occasion with its impressive Bafang motor. Whether you're under the skies of the US with a 750-watt motor or navigating the EU with 250 watts, the Folld-1 winks with the confidence of a top speed that hits 20 mph and 25 km/h respectively without breaking a sweat.
Designed to fold into a fraction of its size, the Folld-1 is an intimate companion for the urban commuter. It understands the language of space; it fits snugly into small corners, while also being prepared to handle the roughest and toughest of roads with a grace that is unmatched.
Yet, there’s more to its design and function than meets the eye. The throttle control on the US version nudges you gently, offering a ride where pedaling is optional, where you can feel the wind playfully tugging at your hair as the Folld-1 propels forward with determination and ease.
Crafted from a single-piece magnesium alloy frame, there’s a beautiful contradiction in its build; it's lightweight, yet it boasts durability that laughs in the face of daily wear and tear, making it a folding e-bike that doesn't just promise but delivers.
With its spokeless mag wheels and hydraulic disc brakes, the Folld-1 has simplified maintenance, significantly reducing the hours you’d spend ensuring it's roadworthy. It respects your time, allowing you more of it to explore, to ride, to live.
The quick and efficient charging is the cherry on top, going from empty to 80% in a mere four hours, and reaching full charge in six. It’s ready when you are, fully charged and eager for the adventures the day holds, from the morning's first light till the evening shadows fall.
And should you wish to bring only the battery into your home, leaving the steed in the stable, it obliges. The removable battery is easy to store and charge, making the process not a chore, but a simple, thoughtless routine.
In the FUELL Folld-1, you aren’t just finding a folding e-bike; you’re discovering a partner in exploration, a reliable companion ready to take on the city streets and the whispering forest trails with equal gusto and reliability. With the Folld-1, the world unfurls before you, waiting to be explored, one ride at a time.
