Netherlands Transit friendly ebike
Hello, I very recently moved to the Netherlands and needed some help choosing a good folding ebike for my daily commute
My last ebike in the US was a Lectric XP 3.0 just for reference
I want something that's easy to fix and maintain (not many proprietary parts and/or very ubiquitious and affordable support), under €2000, preferably 20" wheels but can go for 16, easy to fold and carry (doesn't have to be super light as long as the handle is well positioned) and fits within 86x80x45cm (the Dutch personal item size limit)
One I find interesting is the b'twin e fold 500 in decathlon but I'm not a huge fan of its brakes and cadence sensor (https://www.decathlon.nl/p/elektrische-vouwfiets-e-fold-500-rood/330540/c57m8928945). Plus the smallest dimension slightly exceeds the limits
The Legend Monza looks nice too but it also has a cadence sensor and apparently doesn't cut power to the motor when the brakes are pressed. For me, this is a must on a cadence sensor based bike
The Fiido X looks good but the max folded dimension is 87 which is a little more than I would like. Fiido D11 is probably my current top choice but I don't like that the battery is in the seatpost for both of these (I assume this will lead to some wear and tear over time but please correct me if I'm wrong about this)
Please share your recommendations or advice
I am especially interested in underrated 16" recommendations. I don't love the wheel size but if there's an option that completely satisfies my other requirements, I'd be more than happy with it
As a side note, the Brompton G Line Electric looks insanely Good to me but I don't know if I'm ready for such a premium price tag, plus I'm a bit worried about it being stolen. If you own this bike, I'd like to hear your thoughts
Thank you!
