Hold up! You’re looking for an electric bike that’s cool, goes places, and you can fold it up? Well, let me tell you about the EMotorad Doodle V3 electric cycle. This little beauty, with its chunky tires and quirky style, is definitely turning heads. It’s built for city rides, but it will not afraid of a little dirt road either.
About the Doodle V3?
The EMotorad Doodle V3 is not just another electric bike. It’s got personality. That foldable frame is made out of strong stuff, aluminium alloy 6061, so you can literally fold it in three. Think about it – shove it in your car, tuck it in a corner, even take it on the bus. And those fat tires, 20-inch by 4.0-inch, they give it that chill “beach cruiser” vibe, plus they come in some fun colors.
When you’re riding, it’s super comfy. Those fat tires and the balanced design mean you feel steady, even when you’re turning a corner. Plus, it’s got front suspension that can handle bumps, and you can even lock it out if you want a stiffer ride. You can mess with the handlebars and seat height too, so it fits you just right. And that seat? Plush. Your bum will thank you after a long ride.
How Does This Thing Go?
Underneath all that cool styling, the Doodle V3 means business. It’s got a 250-watt motor in the back wheel, which is plenty of power for getting going fast and smooth rides. You get three ways to ride: Eco, Normal, and Sport. Each one has two levels, so you can pick how much help you want from the motor. Need a little push up a hill? No sweat, will go to full throttle.
For stopping, you get mechanical disc brakes that work real well. And get this, when you hit the brakes, the motor cuts out automatically. Pretty smart, huh? Shifting gears is easy too, with a Shimano 7-speed system. Hills, flats, whatever – you can find the right gear.
