How to Fold an Electric Bike – A Guide for UK Commuters and Travelers

With more people in the UK choosing sustainable commuting and flexible travel options, folding electric bikes are quickly becoming the go-to solution. Whether you’re hopping on a train in London or heading out for a weekend getaway to the Lake District, knowing how to fold your ebike properly is key to a smooth journey.

In this guide, we’ll walk you through the steps to fold the G-force RE folding ebike, and explain why folding it correctly matters for both convenience and bike safety.

Why Folding Matters

Folding your ebike correctly allows you to:

  • Store it in compact spaces like under your desk or in a train luggage area

  • Transport it easily in cars, trains, or buses

  • Extend the lifespan of components by avoiding unnecessary strain

  • Protect sensitive parts such as the chain, derailleur, and battery

How to Fold the G-force RE Folding Ebike – Step by Step

1. Power Off and Remove the Key
Always turn off your ebike and remove the battery key for safety.

2. Adjust the Pedals
Fold the pedals inward to create a flat profile, which helps reduce width.

3. Release the Frame Latch
The G-force RE uses a reinforced locking hinge. Unlock the latch at the center of the frame and gently fold the bike in half until the magnets click and hold it securely.

4. Lower the Seatpost
Slide the seatpost down to minimize height. This stabilizes the folded bike for standing storage.

5. Collapse the Handlebar Stem
Loosen the stem clamp, fold the handlebar down, and lock it in the collapsed position. This protects the display and controls.

6. Carry or Roll It Away
The RE model includes a carry handle integrated into the frame, making it easier to lift or roll.

Where Folding Makes the Difference

  • On trains: Most UK train operators allow folded ebikes without extra charges

  • In offices: Fits under standard desks or inside small storage closets

  • For travel: Folded RE bikes fit inside hatchbacks or compact SUVs without disassembly

Final Tips

  • Practice folding at home before commuting

  • Use a bike cover if bringing it indoors

  • Check all latches are secure before riding again


Mastering the fold of your G-force RE ebike can save you time, space, and effort during your daily routine. It’s not just about convenience—it’s about unlocking a lifestyle of seamless mobility.
