How to Fold a Folding Ebike – A Smart Guide for European Riders

Whether you're navigating Amsterdam’s narrow streets, taking the tram in Berlin, or planning a weekend train trip to the French countryside, the ability to fold your electric bike quickly and safely is a must.

Folding ebikes are rising in popularity across Europe for their blend of mobility, convenience, and compact storage. In this guide, we'll walk you through how to fold the G-force RE folding ebike and why it’s a game-changer for both daily commuters and weekend explorers.

 Why Folding Matters in European Cities

  • Public transport integration: Most European trains, metros, and trams allow folded ebikes without extra fees

  • Limited living space: Ideal for apartment dwellers or students with minimal storage

  • No bike rack? No problem: Folds neatly into car trunks, elevators, or even under desks

How to Fold the G-force RE Folding Ebike – Step by Step

1. Turn Off and Secure the Battery
Switch off the bike and remove the key to prevent accidental activation.

2. Fold the Pedals
Collapse the pedals inward to reduce width, especially helpful for narrow staircases or train aisles.

3. Unlock the Frame Hinge
The RE model features a reinforced center latch. Simply unlock and fold the frame inwards until the halves align.

4. Lower the Seatpost
Slide it down to stabilize the folded bike and reduce vertical space.

5. Collapse the Handlebars
Loosen the handlebar stem clamp and fold it flat against the frame.

6. Ready to Carry or Store
With built-in magnets and a carry handle, the folded G-force RE stays compact and easy to transport.

Folding Ebike Benefits for European Lifestyles

  • Perfect for students in dormitories or young professionals in city flats

  • No need for underground garages or bulky outdoor storage


Learning how to fold your G-force RE ebike properly means more than saving space—it’s about unlocking a flexible, low-stress way to move around Europe. Practice makes perfect, and soon, folding will take less than 20 seconds.
