By the top speeds brands list on their own pages, the fastest folding e-bikes we carry are the Jasion Hunter Pro, X-Hunter ST and X-Hunter, at 48 km/h each. The Ridstar H20Pro, two Heybike folders and the Velotric Fold 1 Plus follow at 45 km/h. Across the eight bikes in our table, batteries run from 608 to 1,104 Wh, and the seven that list a weight weigh 28.6 to 37.2 kg.

Rules checked November 2026 on the official sources listed at the end. This is general information, not legal advice.

The fastest folding e-bikes we carry, by listed top speed

Here are eight of the fastest models in our folding e-bikes collection, ranked by the top speed on each brand's own page. We checked every page on November 2, 2026; we have not measured the bikes ourselves. Folding trikes are left out.

Folding e-bike	Listed top speed	Motor, rated / peak	Battery	Weight	Wheels and tires
Jasion Hunter Pro	48 km/h	1,000 W / 1,800 W	720 Wh	37.2 kg	20 × 4.0 in fat tires
Jasion X-Hunter ST	48 km/h	750 W / 1,400 W	624 Wh	32.2 kg	20 × 4.0 in fat tires
Jasion X-Hunter	48 km/h	Not listed / 1,400 W	624 Wh	32.2 kg	20 × 4.0 in fat tires
Ridstar H20Pro	45 km/h	1,500 W / 2,000 W	1,104 Wh	Not listed	Not listed
Heybike Mars 3.0	45 km/h	750 W / 1,400 W	624 Wh	31.8 kg	20 × 4.0 in fat tires
Heybike Ranger 3.0 Pro	45 km/h	750 W / 1,200 W	720 Wh	34.0 kg	20 × 4.0 in fat tires
Velotric Fold 1 Plus	45 km/h	750 W / not listed	608 Wh	28.6 kg	20 × 3.0 in tires
Taubik Monaco	41 km/h	500 W / 1,000 W	720 Wh	31.1 kg	20 × 3.0 in tires

Rated is the motor's continuous output, which B.C.'s e-bike page describes as "the power output that a motor can sustain for long periods of time without overheating". Peak is a short burst. Ridstar and Velotric don't label their motor figures, so we follow our product listings. "Not listed" means the brand gives no figure.

Where a brand gives only volts and amp-hours (the X-Hunter ST, X-Hunter, H20Pro and Monaco), the watt-hours are our arithmetic: volts × amp-hours.

Ontario's Riding an e-bike page, the SAAQ, B.C.'s e-bike requirements and Alberta Transportation all cap an e-bike motor at 500 W and stop its help at 32 km/h. Bikes rated above 500 W, or that assist past 32 km/h, fall outside the provincial e-bike rules. Our e-bike laws guide explains the limits province by province.

How to read a listed top speed

It is the brand's number: Jasion, Heybike and Ridstar give speeds only in imperial units on the pages we checked, so those km/h figures are conversions.
It may not be the default: Heybike's FAQ says the Mars 3.0 and Ranger 3.0 Pro ship with a 32 km/h top speed and reach 45 km/h only in a setting that turns the throttle off. Velotric lists the Fold 1 Plus at 32 km/h by default, adjustable from 19 to 45 km/h.
It may need full pedal assist: Jasion's FAQs tie the top figure to the highest of five pedal-assist levels.
Pages can disagree: Taubik's Monaco page gives 41 km/h in its motor section and 32 km/h in its spec table; our table shows the higher figure.

What a fast folding e-bike trades for its speed

The brands' own figures show three trade-offs: weight, battery use and wheel size.

More weight to carry

The seven bikes in our table that list a weight come in at 28.6 to 37.2 kg; Ridstar's page gives none for the H20Pro. For a like-for-like comparison, take two folders on the same 20 × 4.0 in fat tires. The Jasion X-Hunter ST lists 48 km/h and 32.2 kg; the EUNORAU E-FAT-MN lists 32 km/h (our conversion) and 28.0 kg.

For 16 km/h more listed speed, the X-Hunter ST carries 4.2 kg more, a 750 W rated motor instead of 500 W, and a suspension fork where the E-FAT-MN is rigid (our arithmetic from the brands' figures). Of the bikes that list a weight, the heaviest, the 37.2 kg Hunter Pro, also has the strongest motor: 1,000 W rated, 1,800 W peak.

That weight comes with you into a trunk or up the stairs. Our lightest electric bike guide covers lighter models and how to lift one.

Similar batteries, used faster

Battery size barely changes with speed here, with one exception. Seven of the eight bikes list 608 to 720 Wh, against 600 Wh (48 V × 12.5 Ah) on the slower E-FAT-MN; the Ridstar H20Pro carries 1,104 Wh.

Speed spends that energy faster. NASA's drag equation page says drag depends on "the square of the velocity", so riding at 48 km/h means 2.25 times the air drag of 32 km/h. Each kilometre at that speed takes 2.25 times the energy to push through the air (worked example, not a measurement; rolling resistance, hills and wind change the total).

So the same battery covers fewer kilometres when you ride near the listed top speed. Compare watt-hours, not only the brand's range figure.

Small wheels, wide tires

Every bike in our table that lists a wheel size rolls on 20 in wheels; Ridstar's page gives none for the H20Pro. Five pair them with 4.0 in fat tires, the style in our folding fat tire e-bikes collection. The two on 3.0 in tires, the Fold 1 Plus and the Monaco, are the lightest of the bikes that list a weight, at 28.6 and 31.1 kg.

If your roads are rough, read how small wheels ride in our folding vs full-size guide before you choose.

Who a fast folding e-bike suits

A fast folder fits riders who need speed and a compact bike in one package. Three cases where it makes sense:

Condo or apartment living: folded, the bike takes less floor space in a storage room or closet. If there's no elevator, check the listed weight against the stairs you'll carry it up.
Car plus bike: drive part of the way and ride the rest. Heybike lists the Mars 3.0 at about 97 × 50 × 84 cm folded (our conversion), so measure your trunk against numbers like these.
Transit trips: agencies set their own e-bike rules, so check yours before you plan a commute around a folded bike.

If you rarely need to fold, a full-size bike gets you bigger wheels. Compare every style, fastest first, in our fast e-bikes collection.

Frequently asked questions

What is the fastest folding e-bike?

By the speeds brands list on their own pages, the fastest folding e-bikes we carry are the Jasion Hunter Pro, X-Hunter ST and X-Hunter, at 48 km/h each. Jasion ties that figure to its highest pedal-assist level. We have not measured these speeds ourselves.

Do folding e-bikes come set to their top speed?

Not always. Heybike says the Mars 3.0 and Ranger 3.0 Pro ship with a 32 km/h top speed, and Velotric lists the Fold 1 Plus at 32 km/h by default. Their 45 km/h figures come from adjustable settings, so read the brand's notes before you buy.

How much does a fast folding e-bike weigh?

Seven of the eight folders in our table list a weight, from 28.6 to 37.2 kg, and the heaviest is the Jasion Hunter Pro; Ridstar gives none for the H20Pro. For comparison, the EUNORAU E-FAT-MN, listed at 32 km/h on the same 20 × 4.0 in tires as the Jasions, weighs 28.0 kg. Check that you can lift your pick into a trunk or up stairs.

Do fast folding e-bikes have less range?

Range depends on battery size and how you ride. The bikes in our table list 608 to 1,104 Wh, and riding faster uses more energy per kilometre: at 48 km/h, air drag is 2.25 times what it is at 32 km/h (worked example, not a measurement). Expect fewer kilometres per charge near top speed.
