There are also a few flaws that prevent it from being an unqualified recommendation. Still, for those looking for a compact and very \u2018live-with-able\u2019 ebike, the Furo X is worth a closer look.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Featherweight_carbon\"><\/span>Featherweight carbon<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>What do I mean by \u2018live-with-able,\u2019 you ask?

Is the assistance smooth or jerky? The Furo performs well at most of these.<\/p>\n<p>For the most part, the Furo X feels well thought out. The carbon fiber frame means it\u2019s easy to carry up a set of stairs, and the folding mechanism obviously opens up a lot of storage possibilities \u2014 as well as the ability to call a cab if you get a flat.<\/p>\n<p>Here are the specs you\u2019re getting for your hard-earned money:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Bafang 250W rear hub motor (500W peak).<\/li>\n<li>25 km\/h (15.5 mph) speed limit, adjustable up to 40 km\/h (25 mph) in the settings.<\/li>\n<li>15kg\/33lbs weight (tested at 34 lbs with the larger battery).<\/li>\n<li>314\/378 Wh battery options with Samsung cells.<\/li>\n<li>Shimano Sora 9-seed derailleur.<\/li>\n<li>A USB port on the battery.<\/li>\n<li>Shimano Hydraulic disk brakes.<\/li>\n<li>An adjustable stem to support riders from 5\u2032 2\u2033 to 6\u2032 2\u2033.<\/li>\n<li>Turn signals<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>As of posting this article (and for the past several months), Furo has included the fenders, rear rack, kickstand, and front and rear lights with the bike, although these accessories are listed as a \u2018limited offer.\u2019<\/p>\n<figure class=\"post-image post-mediaBleed aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1362322 js-lazy\" alt=\"Furo Systems Furo X folding ebike\" width=\"1640\" height=\"924\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1640px) 100vw, 1640px\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/07\/P7261456.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/07\/P7261456.jpg 1640w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/07\/P7261456-280x158.jpg 280w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/07\/P7261456-479x270.jpg 479w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/07\/P7261456-240x135.jpg 240w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/07\/P7261456-796x448.jpg 796w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/07\/P7261456-1592x897.jpg 1592w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/07\/P7261456-1200x675.jpg 1200w\"\/><figcaption><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/thenextweb.com\/news\/#\" data-url=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?url=https%3A%2F%2Feditorial.thenextweb.com%2Fshift%2F2021%2F07%2F29%2Ffuro-x-carbon-fiber-folding-ebike%2F&amp;via=thenextweb&amp;related=thenextweb&amp;text=Check out this picture on: I appreciate how the folding latch is inlaid into the frame, rather than jutting out awkwardly.\" data-title=\"Share I appreciate how the folding latch is inlaid into the frame, rather than jutting out awkwardly. on Twitter\" data-width=\"685\" data-height=\"500\" class=\"post-image-share popitup\" title=\"Share I appreciate how the folding latch is inlaid into the frame, rather than jutting out awkwardly. on Twitter\"><i class=\"icon icon--inline icon--twitter--dark\"\/><\/a>I appreciate how the folding latch is inlaid into the frame, rather than jutting out awkwardly.<\/figcaption><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1362322\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/07\/P7261456.jpg\" alt=\"Furo Systems Furo X folding ebike\" width=\"1640\" height=\"924\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/07\/P7261456.jpg 1640w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/07\/P7261456-280x158.jpg 280w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/07\/P7261456-479x270.jpg 479w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/07\/P7261456-240x135.jpg 240w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/07\/P7261456-796x448.jpg 796w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/07\/P7261456-1592x897.jpg 1592w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/07\/P7261456-1200x675.jpg 1200w\"\/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"A_clever_quirky_design\"><\/span>A clever, quirky design<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The bike has a few unique design quirks. For one, the removable battery is mounted on the exterior, behind the seatpost (there\u2019s a neat little carrying handle). For another, the seatpost has a bit of a teardrop shape, which helps prevent the saddle from falling out of alignment (but means you can\u2019t swap it with a suspension seatpost).<\/p>\n<p>I dig the design, although I\u2019d prefer more minimalist branding from Furo. Having \u2018CARBON\u2019 written in bold letters is quite unnecessary.<\/p>\n<p>My impressions of the ride quality were positive. For one, the bike seemed to absorb bumps significantly better than I\u2019m used to from folding bikes. Maybe it\u2019s placebo, but I thought the carbon fiber frame was more forgiving of road imperfections and absorbed vibrations a little better than any folding bike I\u2019ve tested without suspension.<\/p>\n<p>The touchpoints are also solid, with a comfortable Selle Royale saddle (this is, of course, subjective), and grips with nice wrist support. The folding pedals are pretty much the same as you\u2019d find on 90% of folding bikes \u2014 it would be nice to see larger, metal\u00a0folding pedals for once \u2014 but they get the job done. The Shimano Sora derailleur is also a step up from the typical Tourney or Altus you\u2019ll find on most ebikes, with reliable shifting.<\/p>\n<p>You can also really see just how much the carbon fiber contributes to the low weight; when you pick up the bike, the weight is extremely biased towards the rear, while the front feels super light. It would be really easy to do a wheelie if I could do a wheelie.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Electrified_ride\"><\/span>Electrified ride<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The Bafang motor offers a good amount of power\u2013 torquey-er than you might expect for only 250W. I tend to gravitate towards ebikes that don\u2019t have absurd amounts of power. The Furo X gets me up hills and helps me get started from a red light, and that\u2019s all I personally really care about \u2014 I\u2019m no speed demon. That said, although the speed limit is adjustable to the display\u2019s settings, the motor isn\u2019t going to offer much juice beyond 29 km\/h (18 mph)\u00a0or so.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s just a shame that a bike at this price point only offers a basic 12-magnet cadence sensor instead of a torque sensor. A cadence sensor only measures if and how fast you are pedaling, while a torque sensor measures how <em>hard<\/em> you are pedaling. The latter almost always feels more responsive, intuitive, and natural than a cadence sensor.<\/p>\n<p>To be fair, the Furo X has one of the smoother cadence-based systems I\u2019ve tried, but again, this is a $2,000+ bike we\u2019re talking about. Though not everyone will notice the difference, the Furo X is the only ebike I\u2019ve written about in this price range without a torque sensor.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"post-image post-mediaBleed aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1362324 js-lazy\" alt=\"Furo Systems Furo X folding ebike\" width=\"1640\" height=\"924\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1640px) 100vw, 1640px\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/07\/P7267673.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/07\/P7267673.jpg 1640w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/07\/P7267673-280x158.jpg 280w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/07\/P7267673-479x270.jpg 479w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/07\/P7267673-240x135.jpg 240w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/07\/P7267673-796x448.jpg 796w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/07\/P7267673-1592x897.jpg 1592w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/07\/P7267673-1200x675.jpg 1200w\"\/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1362324\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/07\/P7267673.jpg\" alt=\"Furo Systems Furo X folding ebike\" width=\"1640\" height=\"924\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/07\/P7267673.jpg 1640w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/07\/P7267673-280x158.jpg 280w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/07\/P7267673-479x270.jpg 479w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/07\/P7267673-240x135.jpg 240w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/07\/P7267673-796x448.jpg 796w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/07\/P7267673-1592x897.jpg 1592w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/07\/P7267673-1200x675.jpg 1200w\"\/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n<p>My other big pet peeve: the lights on the Furo X are awful. Honestly, the worst I\u2019ve seen out of a dozen or so ebikes tested recently.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s bad enough that the lights are not wired directly into the main battery, but that would\u2019ve been okay if Furo had given you something better than average. Instead, the front light can only really illuminate a pitch-black road, and an optional flashing pattern can just barely help you be seen in the daylight. But the tail light which sits in the battery pack (and yet somehow requires charging via micro USB) is just sad.<\/p>\n<p>The big chunk of red plastic would make you think that you\u2019d get a nice bright light, but instead you get a measly single LED at the center. This tail light does feature turn signals which you operate via a remote (another thing to charge), and these light up slightly more noticeably, but the light is only really useful for visibility if you keep it in hazard mode (press left and right) permanently for visibility.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"post-image post-mediaBleed aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1362325 size-full js-lazy\" alt=\"Furo Systems Furo X folding ebike\" width=\"1640\" height=\"924\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1640px) 100vw, 1640px\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/07\/P7267674.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/07\/P7267674.jpg 1640w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/07\/P7267674-280x158.jpg 280w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/07\/P7267674-479x270.jpg 479w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/07\/P7267674-240x135.jpg 240w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/07\/P7267674-796x448.jpg 796w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/07\/P7267674-1592x897.jpg 1592w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/07\/P7267674-1200x675.jpg 1200w\"\/><figcaption><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/thenextweb.com\/news\/#\" data-url=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?url=https%3A%2F%2Feditorial.thenextweb.com%2Fshift%2F2021%2F07%2F29%2Ffuro-x-carbon-fiber-folding-ebike%2F&amp;via=thenextweb&amp;related=thenextweb&amp;text=Check out this picture on: The tail light LED is just barely visible from a distance at night and even less in the daytime.\" data-title=\"Share The tail light LED is just barely visible from a distance at night and even less in the daytime. on Twitter\" data-width=\"685\" data-height=\"500\" class=\"post-image-share popitup\" title=\"Share The tail light LED is just barely visible from a distance at night and even less in the daytime. on Twitter\"><i class=\"icon icon--inline icon--twitter--dark\"\/><\/a>The tail light LED is just barely visible from a distance at night and even less in the daytime.<\/figcaption><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1362325 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/07\/P7267674.jpg\" alt=\"Furo Systems Furo X folding ebike\" width=\"1640\" height=\"924\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/07\/P7267674.jpg 1640w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/07\/P7267674-280x158.jpg 280w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/07\/P7267674-479x270.jpg 479w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/07\/P7267674-240x135.jpg 240w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/07\/P7267674-796x448.jpg 796w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/07\/P7267674-1592x897.jpg 1592w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/07\/P7267674-1200x675.jpg 1200w\"\/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n<p>On a more positive note, range is surprisingly solid for just a 378 Wh battery.

Furo\u2019s claim of 60 kilometers (40 miles) for the larger battery pack seems realistic for the average rider.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"post-image post-mediaBleed aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1362321 js-lazy\" alt=\"Furo Systems Furo X folding ebike\" width=\"1640\" height=\"924\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1640px) 100vw, 1640px\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/07\/P7267670.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/07\/P7267670.jpg 1640w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/07\/P7267670-280x158.jpg 280w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/07\/P7267670-479x270.jpg 479w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/07\/P7267670-240x135.jpg 240w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/07\/P7267670-796x448.jpg 796w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/07\/P7267670-1592x897.jpg 1592w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/07\/P7267670-1200x675.jpg 1200w\"\/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1362321\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/07\/P7267670.jpg\" alt=\"Furo Systems Furo X folding ebike\" width=\"1640\" height=\"924\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/07\/P7267670.jpg 1640w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/07\/P7267670-280x158.jpg 280w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/07\/P7267670-479x270.jpg 479w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/07\/P7267670-240x135.jpg 240w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/07\/P7267670-796x448.jpg 796w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/07\/P7267670-1592x897.jpg 1592w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/07\/P7267670-1200x675.jpg 1200w\"\/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n<p>The Furo X isn\u2019t perfect, but it offers good ride quality and is one of very few folding bikes in this weight class. If you want to spend less money and don\u2019t mind some extra heft, there are plenty of great affordable ebikes out there, but as a lightweight, fully equipped folding ebike, the Furo X is worth a look. Just get yourself some new lights.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
