Electric bicycles are
commonplace in Japan (and other parts of Asia) and Panasonic is one of
Japan's largest electric bike manufacturers. The Panasonic folding electric
bike is a perfect solution for people who are seeking an electric folding
bike. It combines lightweight, fold-ability, wonderful comfort, and the
ability to easily ride up any hill.
We don't think there is a better folding electric bike on the market.
