If you’ve been eyeing an e-bike but worried about storage space or portability, Costco just dropped something interesting. The Hiboy Ci 14″ Folding E-bike is now available, and it’s designed specifically for folks who need compact transportation that doesn’t eat up their garage or apartment.
This is a folding e-bike with 14-inch wheels, which makes it significantly smaller than traditional bikes when folded. The compact size means you can actually throw it in your car trunk, stash it under your desk at work, or tuck it away in a closet when you’re not riding.
Let’s be real about what you’re getting here. This isn’t going to replace a full-size e-bike for long-distance commutes or serious hill climbing. The smaller wheels mean a different ride feel, and you’ll sit more upright than on a standard bike. But for quick trips around the neighborhood, last-mile commuting from the train station, or running errands within a few miles, it’s a practical option that won’t break the bank.
Key Features:
- Item #: 1896109
- Current Price: $499.99
- 14-inch wheels with folding frame design for easy storage and transport
- Electric motor assists with pedaling for easier rides and tackling slight inclines
- Rechargeable battery system (check the specs for range between charges)
- Compact footprint when folded makes it apartment and car-trunk friendly
- Pedal-assist functionality lets you choose how much effort you want to put in
Bottom Line: The Hiboy Ci fills a specific niche—ultra-portable e-bikes for urban dwellers and anyone short on storage space. It won’t win any races, but if you need something that actually folds small and gets you around town without showing up sweaty, it’s worth considering.
