A 51-lb folding e-bike small enough for any apartment — yet it carries 330 lb and rides on full suspension.
At just 51 lb with a compact 14-inch body, the W3 lifts with one hand — up the stairs, into the elevator, tucked in a corner.
The rear basket swallows books, a backpack or the daily grocery run, so your hands stay free and your stuff rides with you.
A telescoping seatpost and adjustable handlebar fit riders from teens to adults, so one bike works for the whole household.
Don't let the size fool you — the W3 carries up to 330 lb, more than our W2, so it hauls riders and cargo with ease.
The seat height adjusts with a single clamp — dial it in for a teen or a tall adult in seconds, no tools needed.
One quick fold and the W3 shrinks to fit a car trunk, a closet or a dorm corner — ready to come along wherever you go.
A 36V/8Ah 288Wh battery goes up to 35 miles with pedal-assist — light, integrated in the frame, and charged in 4–5 hours.
Enough for the daily commute and errands, with power to spare. Ride electric, or add pedal-assist to go further.

Light to lift, solid to ride
The carbon-steel frame is the backbone of the W3 — light enough to carry upstairs at 51 lb, yet stiff and durable enough to feel planted and secure on every ride.
Smooth over the rough stuff
The rear suspension absorbs impacts from potholes, curbs and rough pavement, so short city hops stay comfortable instead of jarring — even on 14-inch wheels.
Stop short, roll steady
Front and rear disc brakes deliver quick, controlled stopping in any weather, while 14-inch puncture-resistant tires keep you stable and confident on city streets.
Clear info, clear road
The LED display keeps speed and battery readable at a glance, while the front headlight and rear brake light keep you visible and safe after dark.
Full front and rear suspension and 14" pneumatic tires smooth out city streets, while the folding frame tucks into a closet, trunk or hallway between rides.
A folding commuter with full suspension, disc brakes and a 330-lb payload — for the price of a bare-bones mini.
I bought the model F2. It even has an assembly video. Only had to connect the front wheel and handle bar and a few easy items. The ride was great and with the battery out it’s easy to put on the truck. Love my WindHorse F2
I am absolutely loving my windhorse w2a e-bike. The ride is super smooth, the power is fantastic for daily commuting, and the build quality feels very sturdy and reliable.
Above all, I want to give a huge shoutout to the customer support team, especially Mariel.They were incredibly patient, professional, and quick to respond when I had a few questions. Their top-notch assistance made this whole experience amazing.Highly recommend both the e-bike and the wonderful support team.
Customer service at Windhorse factory is like no other. If I could give them 10 stars, I would. I needed a small part replaced, and they stuck with me through the whole process. They are easily available by email and text and not only that, they will talk to you in the middle of the night. I got my exact part and it fits perfectly. Thank you Windhorse Factory!
Okay so here is my review of the W4A folding ebike. I am a daily bicycle commuter, 10 miles average every day. I will say that the bike feels solid, well built frame, with nice solid welds. The cable routing looks nice and clean, at least as clean as it can for exterior routed cables. Everything works as it should except for a few very minor problems, but any new bike is going to have these issues no matter how much you pay, andIthink for this price Wind Horse did a fine job. With that said, do plan on tinkering with the rear derailleur and disk brakes. Brand new steel cables do stretch, so this is a necessary maintenance routine, if you don't know how to adjust these, you need to learn or pay a bike shop. Only other negative is that I don't feel the battery lasts as long as it should.I'm only getting about ten miles on throttle only, and this is on flat ground. Everything else, A+. Plenty of torque and speed. I get back and forth comfortably. It is a very good entry level ebike. Just wish the battery lasted longer.
My honest review of the Windhorse F2 eBike. At age 68 my wife and I were looking for ways to be outdoors and more active. We talked about ebike for a couple years and was recently were able to test ride a neighbors ebike. First we decided what our needs were. 1. leg through access 2. no fat tire 3. not super heavy 4. standard 26” wheel ebike (we’re old school) 5. good reviews 6. priced so if stolen we wouldn’t loose financially. Windhorse F2 eBike met all these criteria and we liked the grey color. For the Windhorse F2 we give it 5 Stars.
The bikes came packaged very nicely and we received our two bikes in 7 days. Assembly was easy and took about an hour from taking out of box to putting air in the tires. First battery charge took a few hours and we were off riding. It does take a couple short rides to educate yourself with the new experience of an eBike and I suggest first to ride the eBike in “0” mode no pedal assist to get the feel of the ebikes weight and handling characteristics. Then start with mode “1”. It won’t take long with these Windhorse F2 ebikes and you will be out enjoying the ride.
I also want to thank Windhorse customer service as I have emailed several times with questions and received very quick responses from Kaye at Windhorse. Very helpful and courteous. So for customer service 5 Stars
You will see in my photos that I added a couple features to my bike a pair of vintage Honda motorcycle saddle bags from the 1970’s and rear camera display for ebikes from Amazon. And don’t forget your helmets.
I would like to come back in 3 months and add a follow up review after a summer of riding.
Ride safe!

Got this for my daughter to ride to work and back and its beengreat , she loves it. It was easy to finish the assembly and has great battery life. I would definitely buy this again
The bike is packaged well and very easy to assemble. In fact, assembly is only a couple of steps. It has good speed and the battery life has been great. Takes about 4-5 hours to charge fully. Definitely worth purchasing and the kids loves it!
I have the electric bike ride well good cruise control and smooth ride and proper control with steering.
I would give it a 5 start rating, however one thing is the rear basket is small I mean only a gallon jug will fit in it so it’s not super practical, personally I would prefer a rear rack option but that’s just me and what would work better for my situation. Also it doesn’t go through puddles very stably. I did wreck while door dashing after going through a small puddle. I’m not sure if it was my error or the bike but it slid in the bike lane causing me to wreck. other than that it has been a great bike and it’s super convenient to commute in town, and it’s light weight so I can lift it over curbs and bring it inside to store it. It’s also been therapeutic to ride around and see the beauty of my town.

Ride to trailheads before sunrise sometimes and the spread of light is wide enough that I'm not missing things off to the side.
Compared it against the base model in store and the extra range genuinely matters once you're doing 20+ mile loops regularly.
Compared to my old analog bike where I'd have to grind up in first gear, this handles it in a middle gear with assist.
Was ready for the usual squishy first-week brake feel but they were confident and progressive from the very first ride.
I bring just the battery inside instead of the whole bike and it's a genuinely easy routine now that I'm used to it.
Expected modest hill performance given the motor spec but it pulls harder than I anticipated on my neighborhood's steeper streets.
Took a rougher trail than usual on a whim and the front end handled the washboard sections without beating up my hands.
Ride through a lot of puddly streets after storms and I no longer show up with a wet stripe up my back.
Live near a fairly steep descent and was nervous the first time, but it stays composed well past what I'd consider a nervous speed on my old bike.
Pretty normal for cable stretch on a new bike, took five minutes to dial in myself once I found a video showing how.
Was worried about the saddle on longer rides but I don't get sore even after the full trip each way.
My wife and I each keep our own key so neither of us has to hunt for the spare before heading out.
Screen froze on one assist level for a ride, support walked me through a quick reset over chat that fixed it in minutes.
Fold it in and out of my car trunk most days for work and there's no developing looseness in the mechanism yet.
Asked about cable tension on a Sunday and had a clear answer with a diagram by Monday morning.
Did a longer weekend ride further than my usual commute and wasn't sore the way I expected to be from a stock saddle.
The W3 folds at the handlebar and frame to tuck into a closet, car trunk or apartment hallway. At 51 lb it's light enough to carry up a step or two.
Expect around 20 miles on electric power and up to 35 with pedal-assist. Real range depends on rider weight, terrain, assist level and tire pressure.
The W3's battery is integrated into the frame for a clean, compact look. You charge it in place in about 4–5 hours with the included smart charger.
Yes. It's light, easy to handle and simple to ride, with dual disc brakes and full suspension — a popular pick for teens, students and apartment riders.
Every W3 comes with a 1-year warranty on frame, motor and battery, plus a 30-day return window so you can ride it risk-free.
