\r\n E-BIKE SAFETY <\/p>\r\n\r\n

\r\n How comprehensive testing helps ensure the safety of our e-bikes. <\/h1>\r\n\r\n
<\/div>\r\n\r\n

\r\n Updated May 20, 2026 <\/p>\r\n\r\n

\r\n Whether you are transporting your children or riding every day, your safety comes first. That is why we test safety-relevant components of the FOLD cargo bike under realistic and repeated loads. <\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/div>\r\n\r\n

\r\n OUR TESTING APPROACH <\/p>\r\n\r\n

\r\n Safety is not assumed. It is tested. <\/h2>\r\n\r\n
<\/div>\r\n\r\n

\r\n For us, safety does not come from a single test. It starts with engineering and continues through prototypes, laboratory testing and technical optimization to the inspection of assembled production bikes. <\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/header>\r\n\r\n\r\n

\r\n FROM IDEA TO PRODUCTION <\/p>\r\n\r\n

\r\n Safety is part of the entire development process. <\/h2>\r\n\r\n
<\/div>\r\n\r\n

\r\n Every safety-relevant assembly is assessed during engineering, tested as a prototype under defined loads and checked again before series production. <\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/header>\r\n\r\n\r\n

\r\n Engineering <\/h3>\r\n\r\n

\r\n Load paths, connection points and safety-relevant components are taken into account from the engineering stage. <\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/article>\r\n\r\n \r\n

\r\n\r\n \r\n 02 <\/span>\r\n\r\n

\r\n Prototypes <\/h3>\r\n\r\n

\r\n New components are first produced as functional samples and prototypes and tested in practice. <\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/article>\r\n\r\n \r\n

\r\n\r\n \r\n 03 <\/span>\r\n\r\n

\r\n Laboratory testing <\/h3>\r\n\r\n

\r\n Frame, fork, stem, folding mechanism and steering are tested for load capacity and durability. <\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/article>\r\n\r\n \r\n

\r\n FORK TEST <\/p>\r\n\r\n

\r\n The fork as a safety-relevant component. <\/h3>\r\n\r\n

\r\n The FOLD fork was examined in an independent testing laboratory under various load scenarios. <\/p>\r\n\r\n

  • Brake torque test<\/li>\r\n
  • Backward impact<\/li>\r\n
  • Torsion test<\/li>\r\n <\/ul>\r\n\r\n

    \r\n These tests are intended to evaluate the behavior of the fork under sustained loads and identify safety-relevant weaknesses during development. <\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/div>\r\n\r\n <\/article>\r\n\r\n <\/section>\r\n\r\n\r\n
