The CARBO Model S Electric Bike is a lightweight folding carbon-fiber e-bike designed for urban commuting, travel, and riders who want maximum portability without giving up traditional bicycle gearing. It features a 250W high-torque hub motor, a 36V 6.7Ah Samsung battery, and a manufacturer-rated range of approximately 35–60 km depending on assist level, rider weight, terrain, and conditions.

With a 9-speed Shimano drivetrain, torque and speed sensing, Schwalbe Big Apple 20" tires, integrated lighting, and a total weight of about 15.3 kg including the battery, the CARBO Model S is especially well suited to commuters, apartment living, multimodal travel, and anyone looking for a premium folding electric bike.

Why riders choose the Carbo Model S

What makes it a folding e-bike.

Every figure below is labelled with where it comes from, so a manufacturer’s claim never reads as a measurement.

01 Power

250W / 350W, geared for gradient

250W / 350W. Watts set the ceiling; what you feel on a grade is how much pulling power is available low in the range, where a climb from a standstill actually happens.

Vancouver is not a flat city, and a bike specified for one is obvious within a week. Assistance that holds its character on a sustained grade, rather than fading as the motor heats, is the difference between arriving comfortable and arriving determined never to take that route again.

  • 32 km/hAssisted to

Any climbing claim assumes a rider putting in their share. A throttle-only ascent drains the pack far faster than the range figure suggests.

02 Range

Up to 55 km claimed, and what that means

Up to 55 km claimed, 10.05-65 km range or 6.7Ah-40 km range. Charging takes 3.5 hr, and that is the figure that actually shapes your week — a pack you top up overnight without thinking about it beats a bigger one you have to plan around.

Every battery is a consumable, and how you treat it decides whether that means five years or two. Charging to full only when you need the full range, keeping it off the charger once it is there, and storing it indoors through winter are worth more to its lifespan than any figure on the spec sheet.

  • 55 kmClaimed range
  • 3.5 hrCharge time

Up to 55 km is the manufacturer's figure, measured on flat ground, in warm weather, with a light rider holding a steady low speed. Vancouver hills, winter temperatures and stop-start traffic all cost you range. We have not yet run our own road test on this one; when we do, the tested figure goes in the spec table beside the claim.

03 Slowing down

Null, and why it matters

Tektro HD-E350 Hydraulic Disc, 20" x 2.0" tyres. Stopping distance is set by the contact patch as much as by the caliper: hardware can only ask for as much grip as the tyre has to give, which is why both are quoted here rather than just the one that sounds impressive.

Stopping distance is set by the tyre as much as by the caliper. The best brakes in the world cannot exceed the grip available, which is why contact patch, compound and pressure matter as much on a wet Vancouver morning as the hardware clamping the rotor.

  • 15.3 kgWeight

BC requires a standard e-bike to stop from 32 km/h within 9 m on clean, level pavement. That is a dry-surface test — assume noticeably longer in Vancouver rain, and leave the gap to prove it.

04 Comfort

Toray Premium Carbon frame, and what it means

Toray Premium Carbon frame. Fit decides whether a bike is still being ridden in month three, and it is the one specification a photograph cannot tell you — reach, standover and saddle height interact, and two riders of the same height with different inseams want genuinely different setups. It weighs 15.3 kg, which is worth knowing before you commit if it has to come up a flight of stairs or onto a bus rack at the end of the ride.

Fit is the specification that decides whether a bike gets ridden after the first month, and it is the one that cannot be judged from a photograph. Reach, standover and saddle height interact — two riders of the same height with different inseams want genuinely different setups, and the adjustment range is what lets a bike belong to you rather than merely fit you.

  • 15.3 kgWeight

Height charts assume average proportions. Two riders at the same height with different inseams will want different setups, so treat any published range as a starting point and expect to move the saddle and bars.

05 Assist

Null

Transmission: Shimano Altus M370 Derailleur & Shifter or Microshift RD-M46L / 9 speed // Gear Ratio : 52T/28T to 52T/11T, Throttle: Add Throttle / No throttle. Gearing decides what the motor is asked to do: the right gear on a climb keeps you spinning and keeps the drive unit cool and efficient, and the wrong one grinds through your knees and your range at the same time. Assistance runs to 32 km/h; past that the motor stops helping and the drivetrain is doing all of it, which is exactly when the spread of gears starts to matter.

The drivetrain is what riders upgrade first and shop for last. Chain, cassette and pads are consumables on any bike and wear faster under assistance, so the practical question is not which groupset is fitted but how cheaply and quickly it can be serviced when it wears — which is a question about your shop, not your bike.

  • 32 km/hAssisted to

Pedal-assist levels are a controller setting, not a measurement. What one brand tunes into its middle level another spreads across two, so treat the count as a range of options rather than as a spec you can compare across bikes.

CARBO MODEL S Electric Bike — Throttle: Add Throttle / No throttle

CARBO Model S Lightweight Folding Electric Bike

The CARBO Model S is a premium folding electric bike built around a lightweight carbon-fiber frame and a traditional multi-speed drivetrain. At approximately 15.3 kg including the battery, it is designed for commuters and travellers who want an electric bike that is easier to carry, store, and transport than most full-size e-bikes.

250W Motor and Samsung Battery

A 250W high-torque hub motor provides electric assistance for everyday city riding, while the 36V 6.7Ah Samsung lithium battery offers a manufacturer-rated assisted range of approximately 35–60 km.

Charging takes around 3.5 hours, and the battery can be charged on or off the bike. Real-world range varies with rider weight, assist level, hills, temperature, and riding conditions.

9-Speed Drivetrain and Torque Sensing

Unlike many compact folding e-bikes, the Model S uses a Shimano Altus 9-speed derailleur drivetrain, allowing riders to shift mechanically even when electric assistance is reduced or switched off.

A bottom-bracket torque and speed sensor adjusts motor assistance based on rider input, helping create a smoother and more natural pedaling experience.

Carbon Fiber Folding Frame

The CARBO Model S uses a lightweight carbon-fiber folding frame designed to fold quickly for storage, commuting, or transport.

Its compact dimensions and low weight make it particularly practical for apartments, offices, RVs, boats, public transit, and riders who regularly need to lift or carry their bike.

Urban Comfort and Everyday Features

The bike is equipped with Schwalbe Big Apple 20" × 2.0" tires, integrated front lighting, an external rear light, five pedal-assist levels, walk mode, and a USB charging port built into the battery system.

I drove all the way from Seattle to bring my daughter's scooter to ProMechBC and I could not be more pleased with both the repairs and the customer service. I will definitely be bringing the scooter North of the border when it needs some love.

Recently had an accident with my Apollo Go — luckily nothing major was damaged, but it still needed some repair and replacement parts. Service was great, and I got my scooter back within a week. :D
