Frequently Asked Questions
What is a pedal assist bike?
A pedal assist bike uses an electric motor to intelligently boost your own pedaling power. You still pedal like a normal bike, but you can select different levels of assistance to make climbing hills and riding long distances much easier. Our models provide a smooth, natural-feeling boost with ranges up to 75km.
Are folding electric bikes practical for daily use?
Absolutely. POLEEJIEK’s foldable e-bikes are designed for daily commuting. They are lightweight, fold in seconds, and are compact enough to fit on public transport, in a car trunk, or in a small apartment, making them perfect for urban life in cities like Chicago or Munich.
Can retro e-bikes handle modern demands?
Yes. While they feature classic styling, our retro e-bikes are built with modern technology. With powerful motors and long-range batteries (up to 75km), they are more than capable of handling daily commutes, extended city exploration, and leisurely suburban rides.
