    A good foldable ebike to commute to work

    Suggest you get a second hand Brompton and have it converted or see if you can get a converted Brompton...your budget is limited. The distance of 15 miles is possible. Maybe get yourself a Brompton without any electric assist and try use the Bus part of your journey. Pabs
