I'm not a fan of folding ebikes but I understand some have a genuine need for them. Most popular models are summarized nicely in this video.
The Dahon K-Feather stands out at just 26lbs for $1300. The Urtopia Carbon Fold 2 also looks promising at 35lbs and $1700.
Other models include Lectic XP 4, Ride1up Portola, Velotric Fold 1 Plus, Heybike Mars 3.0, Mokwheel Slate, Lectric XP Lite 2, Brampton C-line.

I've preordered the Tern Vektron Pi5 after test riding the Tern Vektron S10 several times. Obviously at the very premium end of the market but feels incredibly solid compared to other foldables I've ridden.
Only 50 units are being sent to my country at this point and 41 of them have been sold before landing when I enquired. I have extremely limited space for storage so a foldable is very useful for me.

Saw youtube recommend me a video about Engwe's new "Zip" model, which folds up tiny like a Brompton and charges via USB-C
The drop shippers come up with interesting designs sometimes.
Would really be useful for multi modal transportation like taking it on a bus and train, even fitting underneath your desk.
Might be good for long distance cycling because you can just charge it via a "simple" 100W USB-C powerbank. Can also solar charge those power banks more easily.
