The EMQ® Motion/16″ has been developed for anyone looking for an exceptionally lightweight and compact folding bike without electric assistance. Weighing just 10.7 kg, it is the lightest folding bike in the EMQ® range.

The Motion/16″ is particularly practical when a bike needs to be lifted, carried or stored regularly — for example when travelling by train, car, motorhome, caravan or boat. Its low weight is also a major advantage for short urban journeys or the last part of a journey between a station and your destination.

Because the Motion/16″ has no motor or battery, there is nothing to charge. At the same time, the automatic 2-speed gearing means there is no need to change gears manually while riding.

The Motion/16″ is therefore the ideal choice if low weight, compact dimensions and simplicity are more important to you than electric assistance.

The EMQ® Motion/16″ weighs just 10.7 kg, making it the lightest folding bike in the EMQ® range.

Low weight becomes particularly important when a folding bike is not only ridden but also regularly lifted — for example into the boot of a car, up a flight of stairs, onto a boat or onto public transport.

With a folding bike, even a difference of a few kilograms can be clearly noticeable in everyday use. The Motion/16″ combines its low weight with ultra-compact folded dimensions of up to 80 × 25 × 59.5 cm.

For anyone specifically looking for a lightweight folding bike around 10 kg, the Motion/16″ has been designed with easy lifting and transport as key priorities.

A non-electric folding bike offers several important advantages. Without a motor, battery and electronic components, the bike can be made lighter and simpler. There is also no battery to charge and no maximum electric range to consider.

This makes a folding bike without electric assistance particularly attractive for relatively short journeys and for anyone who regularly needs to carry or transport their bike.

The EMQ® Motion/16″, for example, weighs just 10.7 kg. By comparison, the electric EMQ® Lite/16″ weighs 12.9 kg including its battery and provides electric assistance.

If minimum weight is your main priority and you are comfortable cycling without assistance, the Motion/16″ is likely to be the better choice. If you regularly cycle longer distances or would appreciate assistance in headwinds, on hills or on longer rides, an electric folding bike may suit you better.

Yes. The EMQ® Motion/16″ is equipped with the EMQ® ComfortShift™ automatic 2-speed hub gear.

There is no need to change gears manually while riding. The hub automatically switches between two gear ratios according to your cycling speed.

When setting off, the bike uses a lower gear ratio to make starting from a standstill easier. As your speed increases, the hub automatically shifts into the second gear.

This allows the Motion/16″ to combine the simplicity of a lightweight folding bike with the comfort of two gears — without a shifter or manual gear controls on the handlebar.

Yes. The EMQ® Motion/16″ has been developed specifically for situations where weight and available storage space matter.

It weighs just 10.7 kg and folds down to an ultra-compact package of up to 80 × 25 × 59.5 cm. Its exceptionally narrow width of just 25 cm makes it particularly easy to store in confined spaces.

This makes the Motion/16″ an attractive folding bike for a motorhome, caravan, boat or car. Once you arrive at your destination, it is ideal for shopping, riding into town or exploring the local area.

And because the Motion/16″ has no battery, there is no need to think about charging or storing an e-bike battery while travelling.

Thanks to its low weight and compact folded dimensions, the EMQ® Motion/16″ is particularly well suited to travelling by public transport.

The bike weighs 10.7 kg and folds in three simple steps to a maximum size of 80 × 25 × 59.5 cm. This makes it considerably easier to lift and carry than a conventional bicycle.

The Motion/16″ is therefore an excellent option for combined journeys: cycle to the station, continue by train, bus or metro and then cycle the final part of your journey.

Always check the current rules of the relevant transport operator before travelling with a folded bike.

Yes. A well-designed folding bike with 16-inch wheels can be both comfortable and stable to ride. Smaller wheels also help make a folding bike compact and agile.

Wheel size alone does not determine riding comfort. Frame geometry, tyres, weight distribution, riding position and the adjustment of the handlebar and saddle all play an important role.

The EMQ® Motion/16″ combines 16-inch wheels with adjustable ergonomics and automatic 2-speed gearing. It has therefore been designed not only to be easy to transport, but also enjoyable to ride.

If you are unsure how a folding bike with 16-inch wheels feels, the best way to find out is during a test ride.

The EMQ® Motion/16″ folds down to dimensions of up to 80 × 25 × 59.5 cm.

Its width of just 25 cm is particularly useful when storage space is limited. This makes it easy to store in a motorhome, caravan, boat, storage area or car boot.

The Motion/16″ also folds and unfolds in just three simple steps. The folding mechanism has been designed for people who want to fold and transport their bike regularly rather than only occasionally.

Choose the EMQ® Motion/16″ if your folding bike will regularly need to be lifted or carried, most of your journeys are relatively short and electric assistance is not essential.

At just 10.7 kg, the Motion/16″ is particularly well suited to situations where every kilogram matters — for example when regularly travelling by train, lifting the bike into a motorhome or boat, or carrying it upstairs at home.

An electric folding bike may be more suitable if you regularly ride longer distances, prefer electric assistance or want extra support when riding into headwinds or over hilly terrain.

Within the EMQ® range, the choice is simple: choose the Motion/16″ when minimum weight is your priority; the Lite/16″ when you want low weight combined with electric assistance; or the Advanced/16″ when maximum riding comfort and natural electric assistance matter most.

The main differences between the three EMQ® folding bikes are weight, electric assistance and riding comfort.

At just 10.7 kg, the EMQ® Motion/16″ is the lightest option. It has no electric assistance and has been developed for riders who prioritise minimum weight, compact dimensions and simplicity. It does, however, feature the EMQ® ComfortShift™ automatic 2-speed hub gear.

The EMQ® Lite/16″ weighs 12.9 kg including the battery and is designed for anyone who wants to combine an exceptionally lightweight folding bike with electric assistance.

The EMQ® Advanced/16″ offers the most premium electric riding experience. It combines a torque sensor with the EMQ® ComfortShift™ automatic 2-speed hub gear and has been developed for riders who place greater value on natural-feeling assistance and additional riding comfort.

In short: Motion/16″ for minimum weight, Lite/16″ for low weight with electric assistance, and Advanced/16″ for maximum electric riding comfort.
