The Oslo Electric is an easy-to-fold commuter e-bike that collapses in the middle, handlebars, and the pedals.

The bike has seven gears controlled by a twist shifter.

It features a 36-volt battery that powers a 250-watt rear hub motor.

The battery is under the rear rack and has a max weight load of 10-pounds.

It is priced at $1,100.

The Oslo has an easy set up and most things come attached.

The components needing a bit extra were the pedals, and screwing those into place is a breeze.

Folding and unfolding the bike is relatively easy and pretty straightforward.

However, it’s not the easiest to deal with once folded.

Some folding bikes have a feature that will allow easy transport once compacted, like theBrompton Electric.

The Brompton locks into place and has a handle to wheel the bicycle around like a piece of luggage.

Something to keep in mind if you have to lug a bike up a stairwell.

It has a 36-volt battery and a 250-watt motor, smaller than many e-bikes around this price range.

TheLectric XP 2has a 48-volt battery with a 500-watt motor, but it’s also 20 pounds heavier.

With its 250-watts, the bike can reach up to 20 mph with pedal assist and lasts 1-2 hours.

Even without the battery, though, the Oslo Electric feels just like riding a regular bike.

The battery is small, compact, and easy to charge.

The most important thing to know about the Oslo Electric is that it only has one pedal assist level.

It’s either on or off.

That means you might’t specify how much power and assistance you’d like.

And you enable it by turning the battery on and then pressing the green button by the gear shift.

The downside is that the motor turns off once you stop pedaling.

Other e-bikes like theSuper73or theRadRunnerhave torque sensors.

These measure the actual force you’re pedalling and output power to match accordingly.

As a result there were really only two situations where the pedal assist felt totally comfortable to ride with.

The first is going uphill.

This makes the gear tension constant and the motor makes the incline a breeze to overcome.

The second is on long stretches of straight road.

Quite an odd issue to run into.

With that said, it is nice that the Olso at least has a kickstand.

The Oslo Electric is for a very specific kind of rider out there.

It’s for people commuting to work or the store.

If you gotta bike the last couple of miles from the train or bus.

This shorter distance doesn’t need a large or super long lasting battery.

And lastly, it’s for someone who’s looking to save money.

All of Huffy’s bikes are priced on the lower end of electric bikes.

There are just too many drawbacks to totally recommend this bike.

And the biggest let down was that cadence sensor and motor.

The bike just didn’t end up being a comfortable ride enough of the time.

Try looking into the Lectric XP 2.0 or the RadMini for similarly priced e-bikes.

Neither are as light and compact but much more versatile with their feature sets.

Otherwise an electric scooter might be an option.
