AYOLNY EB1 14" Folding Electric Bike

AYOLNY sells two builds under the EB1 name, and it is easy to buy the wrong one. This page covers the 432 Wh build with dual disc brakes, three speed modes, USB charging and 52.9 lb. The cheaper option in the same listing is a 280.8 Wh (36 V 7.8 Ah) build with a single front drum brake, two speed modes (15 and 20 mph), a 500 W motor and 48.9 lb, sized for riders 4 ft 9 in to 5 ft 8 in; AYOLNY also sells it fully assembled as the "EB1C". Two more options in the family describe other variants again, one with a rear drum brake and one with dual disc brakes and a 25-mile claim whose battery size is not stated. When you open the listing, check that the option you pick says 432Wh and dual disc brakes before you order.

The listing claims 20 to 30 miles on full throttle and up to 50 miles with pedal assist. The 50-mile figure works out to 8.6 Wh per mile (432 / 50), well below what a 14-inch folder carrying an adult uses, so ignore it. Small-wheel e-bikes typically draw 15 to 30 Wh per mile depending on throttle use, hills and rider weight, which gives about 14 to 29 miles; plan on about 22. That is half again what the 280.8 Wh EB1 gets (about 9 to 19 miles on the same arithmetic), which is the main reason to pay more for this build. The same build's second listing gives 5 to 6 hours to charge. The battery is not described as removable, so plan to charge the bike itself.

AYOLNY quotes only a peak figure for this build: 1500 W peak in this option's title and bullets, although the family's shared page heading has shown 1000 W peak. No rated wattage is given, so the federal 750 W limit for a low-speed electric bicycle cannot be confirmed from the listing, and we do not place it in an e-bike class. On speed it has the Class 2 shape: a throttle and a 20 mph maximum, with 10 and 15 mph modes for beginners and campus paths. Most states treat a 20 mph throttle e-bike as a bicycle; New Jersey requires a license and registration for every e-bike, plus insurance for throttle bikes, and Hawaii requires registration. Check your state's e-bike law before riding on roads or paths. The listing quotes a 15° climb.

Dual disc brakes are the clearest upgrade over the cheaper EB1, whose single front drum brake is low-maintenance but weaker. The 14 x 2.15-inch tires suit pavement and packed paths. The listing describes a one-lever folding stem that drops the handlebars flat; it does not say the frame folds or give a folded size, so measure your trunk or closet against a 14-inch frame with the bars down. The same build's spec table lists a 264 lb maximum load, rear suspension and an alloy frame, though the material is given as aluminum in one place and alloy steel in another. The listing gives no rider-height range for this build; the cheaper EB1 is sized for 4 ft 9 in to 5 ft 8 in.

This build's listings name no safety standard. Only the cheaper 280.8 Wh EB1C option says its electrical system is certified to UL 2849 and its battery to UL 2271, both by SGS, and nothing shows that applies to the 432 Wh build. If you need a certificate for a building, for New York City's Local Law 39 or for California's SB 1271, ask the seller for one before you buy, or choose a bike that documents both, such as the RPINT Mini 14 ($199). No CPSC recall found for AYOLNY as of October 2026. The warranty is one year.

• HQYEX Mini 14 ($199.97 at our last check): the closest rival, with the same 432 Wh in a removable 48 V 9 Ah pack, dual disc brakes and a 20 mph cap on 14-inch wheels. Its motor is stated at 500 W, so it fits Class 2, but HQYEX publishes no weight or load limit and no UL standard either.
• Furider 14 ($259.99 at our last check): a bigger 480 Wh battery and a stated 560 W motor at a similar price, and its 32-mile claim survives the arithmetic.
• RPINT Mini 14 ($199 at our last check): 480 Wh with UL 2849 and UL 2271 stated as validated by SGS, the best paperwork at this size, at 55 lb.

Buy this if you want a 14-inch folder with a throttle, a battery good for about 22 miles, disc brakes and USB charging, you are on a budget under $300, and you can lift about 53 lb. Skip it if you need a documented UL certificate, a stated rated wattage for your state's e-bike rules, or a light bike to carry up stairs.
