Folt electric folding bikes for campers

Now these are handy things: electric folding bikes. No hassle with a bike carrier, but just safely inside the camper. And nowadays just as comfortable as normal e-bikes. We ging in conversation with Folt, the leading manufacturer in the field of electric folding bicycles for campers in the Benelux.

Designed for and tested by campers

The Dutch company 'FOLT' has specially designed its electric folding bikes for campers and had them tested by CamperTV and the AD Fietstest, among others, where they passed with flying colours. "We equip all our bikes with a powerful engine, sturdy front suspension and a large battery pack", according to the spokesperson of Folt. "This way you can make wonderful day trips and cycle comfortably. Also abroad. And thanks to the foldability you can easily take the bikes with you in the camper.

All kinds of different models

Things seem to be going well for FOLT. We see online that the manufacturer is rated by campers with a 9,7 in the independent review database of WebWinkelKeur and Google. Folt itself indicates that this is due to a combination of their range and that it is a Dutch company that produces the bikes in Leusden.

"We biden five models with different wheel sizes and frames”, said Folt. "The electric folding bikes with 20 inch wheels are the most popular among campers. They are big enough for longer trips, but still compact enough to be easy to take with you. Campers often choose a frame with a low entry, so that you can easily get on and off and quickly reach the ground with your feet.

In addition, it is important to have sufficient range. You don't want to run out of power halfway through your bike ride. “A battery must have a minimum capacity of 10 Ampere hours, or 360 Watt hours.” according to Folt. With that you can cycle about 50 to 60 kilometers under ideal conditions. “Smaller batteries are not really suitable for campers but are more intended for commuters. You have to pay close attention to this, because some providers offer actually battery way too small's and you only find out about that afterwards."

Folt and other brands may be similar, but there are some important differences. Folt assembles the bikes in the Netherlands, while other brands do this abroad. Furthermore, Folt works without intermediaries. This results in a more favorable price because you do not pay extra costs for the commission of intermediaries.
