I'm adding an ebike kit to my folding bike, not buying one already produced. Makes all the great advantages of a folding bike even better (compact, no need for a lock as it can be taken inside most businesses once folded, lightweight, can travel with). My folding bike also rides great. Being able to easily remove the motor/battery is even more functional imo than a commercial ebike where you can't do that easily. Bike is 19lbs without kit; 25 lbs with kit. Female, 68. My kit was around $1000, my bike cost twice that.
