The EVO Folding Electric Bike.

Even though I saw this device at the gift show & made a video about it, I don't know if or when it's going to make it to the marketplace. The website they have listed on their single page give-away info sheet, www.evobike.com comes up “make an offer for the URL”. Also they say it's the “World's First Fully Foldable E-Bike”. Well, we've been showing fully foldable e-bikes on the Giz Wiz Show for years. Travel over  20 miles on one charge certainly could be because the other side of the flyer says: “25 mile battery life”. The top speed of 24 to 25 miles per hour is possible, but NYC limits e bikes to 18 mph. That of course is adjustable. I also emailed the company using the business card they left me, but no one responded. I also should say the email didn't bounce back, so I have no idea what's going on this product. (Evo is listed as part of Skyline Brands, but that search went to "free parking by Go Daddy".) When you watch the video I think you'll agree it's doesn't seem too smooth an operation to fold the device, but perhaps it was new even to Chad, the spokesperson. Spokesperson Chad (not OMG) said to look for great sales on Kickstarter in a month, but as of 8/22/19 there were none. We recorded that video July 25, and he said sales would start in a month, so maybe it's yet to happen.
