E-bike or folding bike? Both!
Electric, practical, good – the new COAST e-folding bikes
Folding bike or e-bike? This question no longer applies. With our two new models JIFO light and VYBE light, two new e-folding bikes are coming onto the market that combine the flexibility of folding bikes with the advantages of an e-bike.
Compact, flexible and with plenty of power on the go
Folding bikes are the smart and flexible little helpers that ensure unrestricted mobility, especially in urban areas. E-bikes, on the other hand, lend a helping hand - or rather legs - where your own power ends, or at least needs a boost or two. The two new COAST models JIFO light and VYBE light combine the advantages of both types of bike. Both are powerful e-bikes that are not only easy to transport, but can also take you anywhere in no time - be it to work, school or university, or to your destination afterwards. Their powerful BAFANG rear hub motor scores points with the 378 Wh battery built into the seat post. Are you going too fast? The digital speed display keeps you up to date. The 7-speed Shimano derailleur and the integrated disc brake ensure that you reach your destination comfortably and, above all, safely.
Everything fits?
The height-adjustable handlebars and saddle allow the bike to be adjusted to the rider's individual height with millimeter precision . While the COAST JIFO light guarantees you a particularly high level of comfort thanks to its low entry, the COAST VYBE light looks very sporty thanks to its modern design. Either way: With their trendy design and modern colors, the two models are real eye-catchers that are sure to attract a lot of attention. With their elegant luggage racks, their 1-click foldable pedals and their StVZO-compliant lighting, you can get through traffic safely at all times with both the JIFO light and the VYBE light.
The advantages of an e-folding bike
What applies to “normal” e-bikes also applies to e-folding bikes: on inclines, on challenging terrain or when you need to go faster, the built-in motor can help to support your own riding performance. The electrical support protects your joints, ligaments, tendons and knees and allows you to optimally adapt the load to your individual form on the day. This makes the e-folding bike the ideal vehicle for those who are recovering from an injury or want to get back on the bike after a long break. But be careful: the e-folding bike does not guarantee cycling a la autopilot.
