Euybike K6 E-Bike Review

Excellent, Ultrafast and Young is what the name Euybike stands for and it’s a fairly spot on marketing pitch.  Why is that you ask?  The Euybike K6 Bicycle is zippy, fast, fun to ride and will be a hit with the young city commuter crowd.  Heck even “older” adults that want to have some fun will surely appreciate this foldable e-bike and for many reasons.

UPDATE: The K6 E-Bike from Euybike has been upgraded. Learn more in our Euybike K6 Pro E-Bike Review. 

Euybike K6 Frame Size

The Euy Folding E-Bike works for a variety of heights thanks to the bikes adjustable handlebars and seat post.  Euy recommends riders be between 5’1 -6’5 to ride the Euybike K6 bike comfortably and the bikes total weight capacity can handle a whopping 300 lb.

Since this bike is foldable, you can actually put the Euybike in the back of your trunk or even in a closet inside your home if space is an issue which is one of the strong selling points of this bike.  Some people are hesitant to ride folding bikes, maybe they don’t think they perform as well as a bike with a standard frame or are that foldable bikes are not as safe?

I would argue both would be wrong as some of our favorite e-bikes being tested as of late, also had the ability to fold up similar to the Rad Expand.

• Foldable: Folds for easy storage and transport in a car trunk or closet.
• Lightweight: Weighs only 56.4 lbs with the battery, making it easy to lift and maneuver.
• Fast and maneuverable: Thin tires and a 500w motor for quick acceleration and easy weaving through traffic.
• Comfortable: Dual shock absorbers, a padded seat, and adjustable handlebars and seat post for a comfortable ride.
• Relatively Long Range: Up to 60 miles on a single charge with pedal assist.
• Integrated Battery Design: Sleek and aerodynamic look that hides the battery within the frame.
• Disc Brakes with Motor Cut-Off: Provides strong stopping power and a safety feature that cuts motor power when braking.
• Affordable: Priced at $999 with a 7-speed Shimano drivetrain.
• Long Seat Post: Suitable for riders between 5’1″ and 6’5″.
• High Weight Capacity: Supports riders up to 300 lbs.

Cons of Euybike K6 E-Bike:

• Lower Motor Wattage: 500w motor may not be ideal for very hilly commutes compared to some ebikes with 750w motors.
• Limited Gears: 7-speed drivetrain may not be suitable for all terrains.
• Unknown Brand Brakes: Wuxing disc brakes are a less common brand, so their long-term durability is unknown.
• Smaller Tires: May not be ideal for rough terrain or provide as much cushion as fat tires.

Euybike K6 Weight

Some e-bikes are hard to lift and move around, with the Euybike K6 folding bike that’s not the case.  The K6 Euy Folding Bike model we tested has a weight of 56.4 lb with the battery installed.  The lightweight compact design makes this bike even easier to lift into your trunk or even take up a flight of stairs at work or home.

Who’s The Euybike K6 For?

Euy’s Foldable E-Bike is built for city commuters that like to be a little bit sporty from time to time.  The tires are thin 20″ x 1.95″ tires making them fast and easy to maneuver from side to side making this a great choice for bike paths, or for a city bike riding in and out of city traffic.

One thing that’s cool about this city commuter electric bicycle is it has dual shock absorbers like you would find on a mountain bike in the front and rear which helps when going over bumps or even jumping off curbs if you like that sort of fun. Or you can just simply sit on this seat which is really padded and commute to work, the gym, yoga or whatever errands you may have.

I live in a town with lots of traffic in the summer which makes a bike like the Euy Folding E-bike perfect for getting through traffic quicker and cutting down on gas money.

Euybike K6 Motor

This class 2 ebike has a top speed of 22 mph while using the throttle which is powered by a 500W rear hub motor power.  This motor size is smaller than the majority of bikes we have tested in the 750W range but seems to do just fine with the bikes geometry, size and weight.

If only using the pedal assist mode the Euy Folding E-Bike can get up to 60 miles on a full battery and around 40 miles max if using the throttle vs pedal assist the entire time.

Keep in mind your mileage will also vary depending on your weight, wind, terrain and which of the 7 speeds or 5 pedal assist modes you find yourself using.

Battery

Euy’s Foldable E-Bike uses a 48V12.8Ah LG Lithium battery that seems to have a longer battery life than other batteries we tested, perhaps due to the bikes lightweight design and easy peddling that doesn’t take much effort. Peddling this bike even when not on is much easier than say a fat tire e-bike.

Plus the battery is built into the frame giving the bike a nice aerodynamic look and feel which might confuse some people as it doesn’t really look like an e-bike.

Components

For the price of the bike it’s nice to see this Euybike K6 including the standard Shimano 7-Speed Shifter and Shimano Derailleur. On the brakes, Euybike is using Wuxing Disc Brakes which is the first time we have seen this brand being used.

One thing we noticed was the Wuxing Disc Brakes stopping power was really quick as the Wuxing e-brake levers feature an electric cutoff switch that stops the motor from spinning while braking. This is a great safety feature on the Euybike K6 we wish more electric bicycle included as it’s no fun when the motor keeps turning when you’re attempting to brake.

Euybike K6 E-Bike Pros & Cons

Pros:

• Foldable: Convenient for storage and transport.
• Lightweight: Easy to lift and maneuver.
• Fast and maneuverable: Quick acceleration and weaving ability.

Cons:

• Lower Motor Wattage: 500w motor
• Limited Gears: 7-speed drivetrain
• Unknown Brand Brakes: Wuxing disc brakes
• Smaller Tires: may not handle rough terrain

Overall Impression

To find an folding electric bicycle with this size, speed and fun all wrapped up in one package you should expect to pay more than the ($999.00) Euybike K6 Price Tag. Were excited by this bike and the RV crowd will be especially too. These are the sort of e-bikes that you should have with you all summer long for city rides and should always be considered to bring on your next road trip across the country, as they pack down so small and you surely won’t regret having an ebike to ride where ever you may be.
