I’ve been on the lookout for a quality built, well priced folding ebike for years and I’ve finally found it; the Fast4Ward Edge from Ultra Motors (now Hero Eco).

The Edge sports a 250 watt geared motor and a 24V 8AH lithium battery. Top speed is 15+mph with a range of up to 25 miles. It offers both manual power on demand as well as two levels of pedal assist. Shimano 7 speed rear derailler, Tektro V-brakes, front and rear lights, and an illuminated control display round out the features. At only 40 lbs. its the lightest bike in the shop.

The magic begins when, with a few simple lever flips, the bike folds down into a compact package that will fit into virtually any trunk, RV, boat, airplane, helicopter or whatever else you can imagine. Once you reach your destination in less than a minute you’re ready to ride. The ride is crisp and responsive, and while its not among the most powerful of ebikes, its surprisingly strong for its size and weight. Priced at only $1149 its hard to beat this offering. Come by Ashland Electric Bikes and give the Edge a ride and a fold!

Check out this fun, new way to get around town quickly and easily. The Zumaround Kick Scooter is a great alternative to a full scale electric bike. At only 36 lbs. its a breeze to move about. The 250 watt geared motor coupled with a 36V 9AH lithium battery will carry you along at a respectable 20 mph clip for up to 20 miles on a charge. It sports 20″ wheels, Tektro V-brakes, a flip-up center stand, mini bell, and a comfortable padded footbed.

I’m pleasantly surprised by the power output of this little rig. With just a small amount of kick assist this scooter will get you across town easily and quickly. The fully upright standing position provides an enjoyable Segway-like ride and should appeal to anyone who struggles with the bent over positioning of a bicycle. A simple thumb throttle operates the motor and there’s no shifting of any kind required. At only $1299 its easy on the pocketbook as well. In short, it doesn’t get any easier than this folks! Come by Ashland Electric Bikes and give the Zumaround Scooter a test kick.
