Verdict

The ENGWE T14 is a budget-friendly, compact e-bike best suited for urban commuters and last-mile travel. Its foldability, fat tires, and decent range make it practical for city use, though its weight and small wheels limit off-road capability. For its price, it offers solid value, but taller riders (over 5’6″) may find it cramped.

Alternatives:

• For lighter options: Consider the ENGWE P20 (18.5 kg).

• For more power: The ENGWE M20 (1000W motor) is a step up.
