Pocket

Pocket folding electric bicycle

Description

Since the first full production run of electric bikes came onto the market in 2007, the models have changed significantly, except the tireless Pocket.

If you’re looking for a light, sturdy electric folding bike, then this is the model for you. The Pocket features an aluminium 6061 frame, with 5 year warranty, as do all the other models that Bikelec produces.

It has a whole host of features for an electric folding bike. It has front and rear LED lights connected to the battery that can be controlled from the central controls, just like the motor’s 4 assistance levels. It comes with long metal mudguards, rear rack, and a low maintenance, long-lasting, and compact Shimano Acera 8 gear system.

The comfortable, upright riding position, ergonomic handlebar with leather grips, fantastic spring reinforced saddle resting on comfortable Promax suspension, and the comfortable Zoom front suspension mean that speeding along on the Pocket is a wonderful experience.

The Pocket folds down quickly thanks to the smart lock system in the middle of the frame, which is protected by a safety system that stops it opening accidentally. This is the same system featured on other folding models like the Rocket, with full suspension and magnesium rims, the Fatty fat bike, and the Cuore 26 inch model.

The top speed of this bicycle at the highest level of electric assistance is limited to 25km/h. With smaller wheels than the normal 20” but with the same setup as its bigger brothers, the Pocket model has the best acceleration of the 250w motor range as a result of its 20 inch kenda tyres, set on sturdy double-walled aluminium rims.

 The 8FUN 36v x 250w brushless motor, mounted on the rear hub, is powerful enough to take on any climbs or plough into headwinds.

The Samsung battery pack of li-ion cells offering 36v x 11 amp supply can withstand 1000 charging cycles before wear begins to take effect. The battery offers enough supply for a range of 50-70km.

The bike is rounded off with Shimano M375 disc brakes with 160mm ventilated discs and automatic electrical system cutoff from sensors on the brake leavers. These offer very short braking distances.

Last but not least, as on any good electric city bike, the essential and very welcome metal chain protector, matching the overall design of the Pocket, stops our clothes getting caught in the chain so we always look our best when we get off the bike.
