iGOGOMi ALPS Folding Electric Bike for Adults-Li-ion 6.8Ah/350Wh Battery -16" Tire Foldable Electric Bike with Dual Disc Break and Sturmey Archer Electric Bicycles

I am resubmitting my review as I have finally completed the set-up after a hiccup. I received the bike awhile ago but the disc rotor was warped. The seller responded quickly and assisted to resolve the brake issue.Having tested the bike in manual 3 speed pedal mode, peddle assist, and full e-throttle I can attest that this is a great multi-mode hybrid bike. I say hybrid because it human and e-powered. The build quality is solid and the innovation to place the battery in the frame protecting it from the elements while balancing the weight shows a great deal of thought was put into the design. I also love the adjustable handle bar to fit the bike to the rider.I originally wanted the Nexus 7 speed hub configuration but am quite pleased with the simplicity and range of the 3 speed Sturmey Archer hub. In manual pedal mode only, the bike shifts great and can climb moderate hills and move quickly on flat terrain.Peddle assist takes the bike to another level and is where it really shines! There are 5 levels of assist and I was pleasantly surprised with the boost of power, even on level 1, that came on instantly peddling a small incline. I tested the maximum setting 5 and all I can say is wow! With the 350W motor engaged, there is no necessity for double or triple cranks to climb a hill. I felt like I had bionic legs!I cross shopped this bike against the famous "B" brand folding electric bike and the famous "D" brand folding bike. The "B" owners are quick to say any bike that is not a "B" is a clone, while I respectfully disagree based on the history perspective, it is a good basis of comparison for the other benefit of the iGOGOMi ALPS, the fold.This bike folds pretty compact compared to other brands that only fold in half. I suppose not quite as good as the "B" brand, given the placement of of the crank and the side that the handle bars fold over, but for my purposes it works. This baby can be folded and rolled or carried onto public transportation, placed under my desk, placed in the trunk of my car. So, for me it is a winner.Finally, I think overall this bike is a great value. It shares similarities to the "B" & "D" folding bikes at a lower and competitive price, while improving the folding design with the internal battery storage, adjustable handlebars, and a more powerful motor. I am very satisfied with this purchase!09/11/23 Update:In two weeks this bike has been a pleasure to ride. I'd like to give my impressions of the bike's capabilities after riding it around the loop road trail at Stone Mountain, GA. This road trail is an approximate 5 mile loop that has many hills, some gradual and some steep. There are also some flat stretches.I wanted to understand the bike's capabilities with the lowest possible pedal assist combined with each of the three gears and all out pedal assist at level 5. On some of the steepest hills I found that steady spinning at gear 1 or 2 with peddle assist at 3 or 4 was sufficient to climb. My main goal was to conserve battery power.On the flat stretches I alternated between switching to high gear 3 with zero power assist to adding power assist 1-5 just to compare speed and efficiency. Honestly the bike is fast enough for street riding in zero assist mode. Gear 3 combined with pedal assist 1-5 at a steady cadence incrementally increases efficiency, making the effort less for quick speed. I did notice that the bike takes a pause to sense pedal torque pressure and cadence before kicking in. However, this is not a race bike. I repeat this is not a race bike. It is perfect for leisure riding and short commuting (even better combined with public transportation).The battery lasted one full charge for 2 weekend Stone Mountain rides (approx 21 miles) hitting zero level battery at the end of my second ride. The great thing is that at battery 100% depletion, I peddled the bike normally with three gears.

igogomi Alps red 7 speed version:I've got a regular Brompton and was interested in the electric Brompton when they came out however the high cost (over $3k) and minimal features put me off.So far (2 weeks), I've found the Alps to be a good, affordable alternative to an electric Brompton.It weighs the same as the electric Brompton ~38lbs and the Alps seems to be a quality product. The Alps ride is smoother and much more comfortable than my non-electric Brompton. I suspect this is due to the Alps longer wheel base along with the 16" CST branded 52-305 (~40psi) ballon tires versus the Brompton's 16" 35-349 (~100psi) tires (The CST tires won't fit on a Brompton as the rims are a different size).My Alps arrived in good shape minus a slightly bent front brake rotor due to an overabundance of packing material on the folded handlebars pressing on the front brake rotor during shipping. This was easily corrected with a brake rotor truing tool and some minor brake adjustments.The rear brake is a low maintenance Nexus roller drum brake which seems to work well in this application.The Alps folds in a similar way to the Brompton however the front wheel is parked on the opposite side, leaving the chainring and chain exposed.The folded Alps is a bit unsteady on it's rollers as the front motor adds extra weight, so it's prone to tipping on that side - I believe the Electric Brompton may also have this issue. Also, the Alps is slightly larger folded and the handlebar does not have a latch to secure it in it's folded position; the Brompton has a handlebar latch.The Alps battery is hidden in the top tube and the tube must be folded open to access the battery for charging. A nice improvement would be to add an external charge port to eliminate the need to fold for charging. The Brompton's battery rides in a bag on the front luggage clip. The Alps has no luggage clip however it appears to have the mounting holes to add a Brompton luggage clip.The Alps has torque sensing pedal assist which is a much more natural experience than the jolts you get from a cadence sensor type. There's also a throttle. The display is basic with only speed, trip and odometer readings in kph by default. You must manually switch to mph every startup. Another small inconvenience; the trip does not read in tenths of miles. There's also an optional front light that's powered from the main battery.I've ridden both the non-electric & electric Brompton and I can't get over how much better the Alps floats over the bumps and gives a superior riding experience.The seller has been very helpful and responsive with questions.So far, my only concern is long term support with a niche product, however...You can always pay ~2.5x more for an electric Brompton with less features (6 vs 7 speed, rim vs disc brakes, no digital display or throttle, harsh ride) and get a longer warranty with access to their support network.It's nice to have affordable choices.

This bike is great for me and my husband. It’s fun to do leisure biking around our local trails and lake. At 1st, I was worried that it would be bulky, it‘s lightweight.To my surprise，folded up small, as they say, just bigger than a wheel, the trunk of the car could fit two IGOGOMI e-bikes when we went on a trip. It is electric. It comes with a 350W high-speed brushless motor. Surprisingly, the bike is pretty quiet with this motor. So, it’s not annoying to our neighbors when we bike around. Pretty cool. In electric mode, I can go pretty far.the front and rear disc brakes provide double safety while riding. I like this feature, I feel more safe that way.

7stars for the service and best people you dealing with . The bike is a rare find if you looking for lightest weight with excellent power and gear spread in this range. I highly recommend.

The unit I ordered arrived (late June 2023) with a bent disk on front brake and front wheel obviously untrued, both evidence of lack of pre-shipping inspection. Also the unit did not come with a rear disk brake as advertised, but rather a Shimano Nexus 7 geared hub with integrated roller drum brake. The attachment geometry of rear rack was modified to accommodate the hub brake. You may want to ask which version of the bike is going to be sent to you. Aside from these issues, this is a very stable and smooth riding bike.

It was just what we were looking for, a bike we could pedal a ride like a regular bike but also have a motor to get a little help if we got tired. I have been using it mostly in the pedal assist mode . The pedaling is easy and I go a nice steady pace. Doesn't feel to fast when I'm around people . Easy to use without power with the 7 speeds. Had it for a couple weeks and I'm loving it so far.
