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

CARBO Model S: Lightweight Folding E-Bike Features

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

01 Motor support

Lightweight assistance for everyday city riding

CARBO lists 250W and 350W motor configurations depending on the market or setup, with assisted speed listed up to 32 km/h. The compact hub motor is designed to support normal urban riding rather than turn the bike into a high-powered moped-style platform.

On hills, selecting an efficient mechanical gear and continuing to pedal reduces strain on the motor and battery. Rider input remains an important part of the Model S riding experience.

  • 250W / 350WMotor options
  • Up to 32 km/hAssisted speed
  • Hub motorDrive type

Motor output and assisted-speed configuration can vary by market. Confirm the exact version supplied with the bike before purchase.

02 Between charges

36V Samsung battery with up to 30–55 km assistance

The standard battery uses 36V 6.7Ah Samsung cells, with a larger 10.5Ah upgrade listed for some configurations. CARBO lists approximately 30–55 km of assistance depending on battery size and assist level, with around 3.5 hours for charging.

Because this is a pedal-assist bike, rider effort has a major effect on distance. Hills, cold weather, higher assist levels, repeated starts, and reduced tire pressure all shorten range.

  • 36V 6.7AhStandard battery
  • 30–55 kmClaimed assistance
  • Approx. 3.5 hrCharge time

Range varies with battery configuration, assist level, rider effort, terrain, temperature, and load. Confirm whether the bike has the standard or upgraded battery.

03 Braking and grip

Hydraulic disc braking with 20-inch urban tires

Tektro HD-E350 hydraulic disc brakes provide progressive stopping, while 20 × 2.0-inch Schwalbe Big Apple tires give the compact folding bike a wider and more comfortable urban contact patch.

Hydraulic lever feel and tire grip both matter in wet conditions. Pads, rotors, tire pressure, and tread condition should be checked regularly even on a lightweight bike.

  • Tektro hydraulicDisc brakes
  • 20 × 2.0 inSchwalbe tires
  • 15.3 kgBike weight

Stopping distance increases on wet or contaminated surfaces. Maintain the brakes and tires and leave additional space in rain.

04 Fit and portability

A 15.3 kg carbon frame that folds for storage

The Toray carbon frame folds for compact storage, and the pedal-assist model weighs approximately 15.3 kg including its battery. That is unusually light for an electric bike with conventional gearing.

Low weight makes stairs and vehicle loading easier, but fit still depends on reach, saddle height, and rider proportions. Trying the bike in person remains the best way to confirm comfort.

  • 15.3 kgWeight with battery
  • Toray carbonFrame
  • FoldingFrame design

Published fit guidance is only a starting point. Rider inseam, reach, and preferred posture should be checked in person.

05 Drivetrain

Nine mechanical gears with torque-sensing assist

The Model S uses a 9-speed Shimano Altus or Microshift drivetrain, allowing normal mechanical shifting whether the motor is assisting or not. A torque and speed sensor adjusts assistance according to rider effort.

Choosing the right gear improves cadence, climbing comfort, battery efficiency, and drivetrain life. Some configurations can be ordered with a throttle, while others remain pedal-assist only.

  • 9-speedDrivetrain
  • Torque + speedAssist sensing
  • OptionalThrottle setup

Drivetrain and throttle configuration can vary. Confirm the exact components and local-compliance setup supplied with the bike.

CARBO Model S Lightweight Carbon Folding Electric Bike

The CARBO Model S electric bike is a compact folding e-bike for riders who prioritize low weight, responsive pedal assistance and normal bicycle gearing. Its Toray carbon-fibre frame folds for apartments, offices, RVs and vehicle storage, while the pedal-assist configuration is listed at approximately 15.3 kg including the battery.

Natural Pedalling with Nine Mechanical Gears

A torque-and-speed sensor responds to rider effort, and the 9-speed Shimano Altus or Microshift drivetrain lets you choose an efficient gear whether assistance is active or not. Motor options vary by configuration, with 250W standard and a 350W upgrade available on applicable versions.

Battery Choice and Range

The 36V 6.7Ah Samsung-cell battery is paired with an optional 10.5Ah upgrade on applicable configurations. Published assistance range is approximately 40–65 km, depending on battery choice, assist level, terrain, temperature, tire pressure and rider input. The removable battery can be charged on or off the bike.

Best Use Case

The Model S is a better match than a fat-tire e-bike when lifting, storage and multimodal travel are priorities. Its compact tires and rigid carbon fork favour paved routes rather than rough off-road use.

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
