Overview
The Rakowe G16 is a UL-certified folding electric bike with a 750W peak motor and a removable 48V battery, built around 16 or 20 inch tires for commuting, errands and short city rides rather than off-road use.
A reinforced long seat is sized to carry a second, lighter rider, which several buyers used for school runs. The bike ships about 85 percent pre-assembled, and while the motor and battery held up well in reviews, more than one buyer described the printed assembly instructions as hard to follow.

What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Reviewers praised the rear jump seat for carrying a second rider, the ride comfort and how long the battery holds a charge; the printed assembly instructions were repeatedly called blurry and hard to follow, and one buyer reported the left crank arm came loose after a week of normal riding.

Performance notes
The 750W peak brushless motor is tuned for urban roads and bike lanes rather than off-road terrain, and the 48V removable battery is rated for up to 25 miles in pure electric mode or up to 45 miles with pedal assist, varying with terrain and riding style. Front suspension and dual disc brakes are meant to smooth out city streets and light trails while giving reliable stopping power.
