EMPUREO | Urban Transportation

From daily commutes to weekend rides, Empureo e-bikes power your journey.

The thing that struck me was they were quite light , especially with front suspension - 15kg without battery under 18kg with battery (which is about what my intercity disc 8 conversions weigh)

The battery is small but you can get extra batteries £199 brand new or £150 brand new with cosmetic marks

They are also available new on ebay for £725 (or best offer !) https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/376411426613?

Anyway, just thought there might be someone that wanted a light folding e-bike that would consider this , seemed reasonable value

Looks good for flat commutes. Shackled to their batteries though, if you want things to continue looking tidy. Does it have proprietary comms? That is a slender frame. Cracks in my Kirk Revolution's magnesium frame decades ago has put me off magesium frames for life. Replaced three times, cracked every time bouncing down mountainsides. Got refunded, bought steel.

Does this bike work without the app? My Amplifii TT guitar effects thang which requires an app for 99% of it's function has put me off things with apps for life. Line 6 didn't update the app for ages, eventually removed it from Google Play... found an .APK, installed it on an old Moto G XT1032 phone and now I cannot under any circumstances allow it to die or sell it for twenty quid to charge my bike with. I'm about to replace it's battery.
