Few electric folders are available. Fewer still that are good quality. Here's a note from the best dealer in the country:

Birdy BionX

The lightweight BionX kit powers the Birdy bike up the steepest hills, and can extend the length of your ride beyond your physical pedaling power. The lightweight BionX battery mounts on a specially designed rear rack specifically designed for the Birdy-Bionx combo.

The powerful rear hub motor works with the Birdy's gearing, and is an efficient, quiet way of transmitting power. All the wiring is made specially for this team-up, and is neatly mounted to the frame of the bike for snag free folding. The full suspension eletric powered folding BionX-Birdy combo is a one of kind ride that everyone's been waiting for.

eZeebike Quando

The eZeeBike has been a successful and sought-after line of e-bikes in Europe that are now available in the United States. Equipped with 250-watt silent (gearless) hub motors, a range of 20 miles and top assisted speed of 15 mph is possible with the two folding models - the eZee Quando and Quando II. Well-crafted aluminum alloy frames and lithium batteries make these bikes lighter than other electric bikes.

The Quando is small, comfortable, foldable, simple, and a joy to ride. It is the perfect choice for anyone looking for a compact folding electric bicycle. The Quando folds easily and conveniently so that it can readily be tucked into a corner. But the real fun is riding the Quando. It's like a fun little scooter that lets you pedal whenever you want. The Quando is the ideal solution for boat, plane, small apartment, or for those of us looking for a simple joy of a ride that lets us easily get around town and stay healthy too.

The Quando combines a powerful 250 watt motor, a long-range lithium ion battery, a well-designed folding frame, and compact 20 inch wheels. The Quando II lacks the rear suspension included in the Quando. As a result, the Quando II will fit smaller riders that the Quando. With a simple twist-grip throttle and no gears (no shifting required!), the Quando rides with the comfort of a bicycle yet has the convenience and ease of a small and delightful scooter. It is the ideal combination of simplicity, comfort, power, range, and storability.

Dahon Roo EL

Go on, imagine an electric bicycle. What do you see? Chances are you've envisioned something that looks more like a mutant moped hopped up on steroids. And it probably also weighs closer to a moped than a bike. Well take a good hard look at the Roo EL, the lightest, most portable, and frankly, best looking electric bike you've ever seen. At only 17 kgs. (37.4 lbs.) the Roo EL is the lightest electric bike on the market, and that includes all of the non-folding electric bikes out there. Even better, it folds in only 10 seconds so you can take it everywhere. Imagine riding to work without working yourself into a lather. Imagine laughing at headwinds and hills. Go on, imagine.

SRAM Sparc hub combines an efficient electric TwinDrive™ engine, 5 speed internal hub gear, and micro-processor controllers all in a single, weather resistant hub.

Two speed modes (economy and speed) with a range of 15 - 30 km. (9.3 - 18.6 miles)

Intuitive motion controlled system only adds power when you pedal.

With the electric assist turned off, the Roo EL rides just like a standard bike.
