Tenways' Compact E-Bike Folds Flat for Tight Spaces
A new electric bike twists and folds to fit in car trunks and apartment hallways, making city living with an e-bike easier than ever. The CGO Compact brings practical design to urban riders who've been waiting for a space-saving solution.
Getting around the city just got easier for people short on storage space.
Tenways launched its CGO Compact electric bike in Europe, designed specifically for urban dwellers who love the idea of an e-bike but don't have a garage. The bike features a unique twistable handlebar stem and folding pedals that let it hug a wall or lay flat in a car trunk.
The clever design uses 20-inch wheels to keep the bike small without sacrificing ride quality. The adjustable steering column and low-step frame mean riders of different heights can share the same bike, making it perfect for families.
The Chinese company, now headquartered in the Netherlands, has built a strong presence across Europe with over 1,500 shops and service centers. That network means riders can get help when they need it, something that matters just as much as the bike itself.
At €1,999 (about $2,365), the CGO Compact costs well below Europe's €2,681 average e-bike price. The bike includes a 250W motor, a maintenance-free Gates Carbon belt drive, and a battery that delivers up to 100 kilometers of range on a single charge.
The rear carrier system can haul up to 27 kilograms, with mounting points for accessories like crates or child seats. That transforms the compact bike into a practical cargo hauler for grocery runs or school pickups.
The Ripple Effect
This bike addresses a real barrier keeping people from choosing cleaner transportation. Many urban residents want to ditch their cars but worry about where to store a full-size bike in small apartments or offices.
By solving the storage puzzle, bikes like the CGO Compact make it easier for more people to choose pedaling over driving for short trips. That means less traffic congestion, cleaner air in cities, and healthier communities overall.
The single-speed drivetrain works best for flat cities, which perfectly suits places like Amsterdam, Copenhagen, and other bike-friendly urban centers. The company currently sells e-bikes in the US but hasn't announced plans to bring the CGO Compact across the Atlantic yet.
Making sustainable transportation practical and affordable opens doors for more people to make greener choices in their daily lives.
