    For an ebike, the weight is actually pretty mid range, most of them are 50-60lbs (22-45kgs).

    It was a huge upgrade from the Rad Runner I had before. I'm much more comfortable with the size of this bike.

    With the handles folded I was able to load it into the back of the SUV without any trouble and it fit with no issues.
