The e20.8 Play is a brand new, BMX-inspired foldable electric bike from British manufacturer Estarli.

The Pro version comes with a rear rack and tyre guards.

It's the perfect blend of functionality and fun, and is essentially an off-road upgrade of the standard e20. It maintains the lightweight practicality and everyday usability of its sister bike – whilst adding more power and thicker, grippier tyres for those looking to add off-piste capability to their city ride or commute.

A slightly more premium option than the e20, the Play features 10Nm more torque (now 50Nm compared to 40Nm in the e20), an 8-speed Shimano drivetrain, all-terrain tyres, carbon front forks and internally routed cables for a sleeker look.

Please Note: All Estarli e20.8s are built by hand, and the lead time on the both the Raw Metal and Sage Green is currently 8-weeks.

Power & Performance
Battery
Battery
Batteries come in different voltages (V) and amp hours (ah).

Amp hours refers to the amount of electrical charge the battery can product in an hour, while voltage determines (in part) the power output of the battery.

Most e-bikes and e-scooters will have lithium-ion batteries.

Charging Time
Charging Time
The number of hours required to charge the battery fully when plugged into a 220v home socket. Among other things, charging time can be affected by temperature, battery age and health.
3-5 hours
Motor
Motor
The motor is what provides assistance. The number of Watts produced by the motor (e.g. 250W), refers to the power output of the motor. The higher the wattage of the motor, the more powerful it is.
In the UK, the maximum legal power output of an e-bike for use on public roads and footpaths is 250W.
250W
Max Speed
Max Speed
The maximum speed that an e-bike can go when pedalled.
In the UK, the legal speed limit of e-bikes is 15.5mph.
15.5mph
Torque
Torque
Battery electric motor torque is the rotational force generated by an electric motor powered by a battery.

The higher the torque, the easier it will feel when pedalling.

Anything over 30nm is more than sufficient!
50nm
Range
Range
The "Range" refers to the number of miles that the battery will assist you while you cycle.

The range of any e-bike or e-scooter is highly sensitive to the weight of the rider, style of riding, terrain traversed or level of assistance used, to name a few.
31 miles
Sensor
Sensor
E-bikes generally use either a torque or cadence sensor.

Torque sensors measure the force applied to the pedal, adjusting assistance based on rider effort, while cadence sensors determine pedal rotation speed, regulating assistance independently of force on e-bikes.

Torque sensors are considered to be smoother than cadence sensors, adjusting to the rider's inputs.
Torque
Gears
Gears
Having gears, from a company such as Shimano, makes cycling up and over hills easier.
Cycling in a lower gear means less pedalling effort and less speed.
Cycling in a higher gear means more pedalling effort and more speed.

Most e-bikes will come with 7 or 8 gears.
