Engwe's own sale price — lower than MSRP minus our ROWER code
The price above is €1,049 on October 8, 2026 — €150 below the €1,199 MSRP , and below the €1,079 our discount would make of the MSRP
The figures above are Engwe's MSRP, which is what we quote throughout the site. This bike was discounted when we last looked, and sale prices move faster than we rebuild — so treat it as an observation with a date, not a live price. We also don't know whether our code stacks on top of a Engwe sale; Engwe's terms say exclusions may apply, so check the total before you pay.

The EP-2 Boost is the most thoroughly documented bike in Engwe’s range, and it is also the one model that appears in both our catalogue and Engwe’s European store under the same name — which is rarer than it sounds, because Engwe runs substantially different ranges either side of the Atlantic. It is an EU-spec pedelec: 250W nominal, capped at 25 km/h under EN 15194, with a torque sensor rather than a cadence sensor. Engwe publishes 55Nm of torque, a 624Wh battery, a 150 kg payload, a 30 kg weight, 180 mm mechanical disc brakes, 20 × 4.0 fat tyres, folded dimensions and a charge time. Almost nothing else we cover is this openly specified. The European store listed it at €1,049 against a €1,199 MSRP when we last looked.

Who this bike is for
Buy it if
- You are in Europe and want a folding fat-tyre bike with a published payload figure
- You want a torque sensor, which scales assist to how hard you pedal rather than switching power on and off
- You want a bike whose maker states weight, folded size, payload and charge time — most don’t
- You ride cobbles, gravel or broken city roads, where 4-inch tyres do real work
- You want 624Wh, about 50% more capacity than a typical light folder
Look elsewhere if
- You need to carry the bike. At 30 kg it is 10.5 kg heavier than Fiido’s D11 folder
- You are at or near the 150 kg limit — that is a total including rider, clothing, rack and cargo
- You want hydraulic brakes. Mechanical discs on a 30 kg bike are the wrong pairing, since mass is what lengthens stopping distance
- You live somewhere hilly: the published 10° maximum climbing grade is modest
- You are in the US, where this model isn’t sold — the EP-2 3.0 is the nearest equivalent

Frequently asked questions
How much is the Engwe EP-2 Boost?
Engwe’s European store listed it at €1,049 against a €1,199 MSRP when we last looked, on 8 October 2026 — €150 off. Our verified 10% code (ROWER) should bring that to roughly €944, though we haven’t confirmed whether it stacks on top of an Engwe sale, so check the total before you pay. There is no US price because this model isn’t in the US catalogue.
How much weight can the Engwe EP-2 Boost carry?
Engwe publishes 150 kg, about 331 lb, as the maximum payload. That is a total — rider, clothing, rack, panniers and cargo combined — not a rider limit, so a 100 kg rider has about 50 kg of headroom. It is the lowest published figure among the bikes in our heavy-rider guide, which is why we wouldn’t recommend it above roughly 110 kg of rider weight.
How much does the Engwe EP-2 Boost weigh?
Thirty kilograms, which Engwe publishes — unusually, since most brands won’t. For context, Fiido’s D11 folder is 19.5 kg, so the Engwe is 10.5 kg heavier. That gap is the whole decision between them: the Engwe spends the weight on a bigger battery and fat tyres, the Fiido spends the lightness on being carryable.
Does the EP-2 Boost have a torque sensor?
Yes — Engwe’s European listing confirms a torque sensor, which we could not verify before. That matters more than most specs: a torque sensor measures how hard you push and scales the motor to match, so the bike accelerates in proportion to your effort, where a cadence sensor delivers a fixed slug of power as soon as the pedals turn. At this price it is not a given.
Does the EP-2 Boost really go 120 km?
Engwe claims 120 km and, to its credit, states the condition: at PAS 1, the lowest assist level. That is more honest than most range claims, which quote a figure without saying how it was produced — but it still means 120 km is a ceiling reached by barely using the motor. At usable assist levels expect considerably less. The 624 Wh battery is the figure to reason from.
Is the Engwe EP-2 Boost sold in the US?
No. Engwe runs separate regional catalogues with different model names, not just different power limits — its European store sells the EP-2 Boost, EP-2 3.0 Boost, M1, P20, P275, N1 and others, while the US store sells the L16, L20 2.0, M20 2.0, M20 3.0, L20 3.0 and EP-2 3.0. If you are in the US, the EP-2 3.0 at $1,699 is the nearest equivalent folder.
Our take
This bike is a useful demonstration of what honest documentation looks like, and it is why we can be harder on it than on the models Engwe says less about — you can only criticise what you can see. The genuine strengths: a torque sensor at this price is not a given and it is the single thing that most affects how a bike feels to ride; 624 Wh is about 50% more energy than a typical lightweight folder carries; the 4-inch tyres make broken surfaces far more bearable; and a published 150 kg payload puts it in our heavy-rider guide, where most bikes cannot be considered at all because nobody states a figure. The weaknesses are just as visible. Thirty kilograms is a lot to lift, and if you will actually carry the folder, Fiido’s 19.5 kg D11 is a different proposition. Mechanical rather than hydraulic brakes on a 30 kg bike is the wrong way round. And 10° of maximum climbing grade is modest if you live anywhere with real hills. At €1,049 — €150 below MSRP when we last looked — it is good value for a documented fat-tyre folder, and our 10% code should take it to roughly €944, though we have not confirmed whether it stacks on a Engwe sale.
