SportsDadReviewsWindhorse W3 Review
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.
great
I have been riding my Windhorse practically every day since I received it almost 2 years ago and never had it given me a problem, not once!
It starts up every time , the chain doesn't jump off the sprocket, it has handled beyond what the manufacturer recommends for normal riding like rain, snow, off road, mud, stones, you name it and not one punctured tire or loose bolt and I even dumped it several times!
It's so well built that I feel safe exceeding it's top speed down steep hills at 40+ MPH !
I LOVE MY WINDHORSE AND AM SUPER SATISFIED WITH MY CHOICE to purchase it over other ebikes back when it cost $150 more than it does now and if it ever stopped working I'd buy another without question! Maybe just get one that is faster the next round!
Thanks to the production team for producing such a fine well built and thought out machine !
Awesome e-bike we got them for the whole family they are easy to ride!
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.

The throttle was too sudden for me. It “jumped “ when I tried to ride.
Hi, please kindly try switching to the lowest assist level (M1) before starting off — this should make the throttle response smoother. Please ride safely.
The bike is fantastic, but I highly recommend getting better tires. They’re not very durable, but overall, it’s a great bike that handles hills effortlessly on the highest setting. I’d give it a 9.5/10. If you enjoy biking or shopping, this bike is a great choice.
Everything went well with the bike up until I decided to take it on a stroll on the street when the back tire popped.
I finally got around to setting up my new Windhorse e-bike and taking it out for a few spins, and honestly, I love it! Putting it together was super easy and stress-free. The pedal assist is a total game-changer—it makes riding feel so smooth and effortless.
I've only charged the battery once so far, and it's still going strong. Plus, the removable battery is a huge win because I can just pop it out and charge it right inside my room instead of dealing with the whole bike. It also folds up nicely and fits right into the trunk of my SUV.
That said, there are a couple of little things to keep in mind. I'm 165 cm tall, and the seat sits a bit higher than I expected. Also, even though it's foldable, the bike is a little bit on the heavier side, so lifting it into the car takes a little bit of muscle if you're riding solo!
Great
Cancelled both. Ride to work, get movement, skip the train. Paid for itself faster than any purchase I've made this year.
Compared components line by line against two competitors. Brakes and display were a step up for the same money.
Ran the numbers against my rail pass. Paid for itself in about seven months, and that's ignoring the time I save not waiting on platforms.
Rode an Aventon Level at a shop and liked it, but the price gap was meaningful. This covers the same use case for my riding.
Best E bike On the market love it 10/10 recommend
Took nine days against a stated five to seven. Communication was fine and nothing was damaged, just wanted to set expectations.
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.
