EUY K6 Pro review: Why is this folding fat tire e-bike so weird looking?
I’ve tested a lot of folding fat tire e-bikes. They’re one of the most popular categories of low-cost e-bikes thanks to their combination of go-anywhere design and compact form factor, but I’ve never seen one quite as odd-looking as the EUY K6 Pro.
That’s thanks to its novel folding design that features a rarely seen center-axle hinge to fold the bike in half. It’s weird. It’s wild. And I’m testing it out to see what it can do.
My first instinct is to worry a bit about the robustness of the design. Typical folding e-bikes use a fairly tried-and-true design. That’s why most e-bike companies stick to it.
Occassionally we’ll see interesting new folding designs, but that also sometimes leads to unexpected problems down the road… like e-bikes breaking in half.
But the EUY K6 Pro felt fairly rugged with that beefy hinge taking up most of the width of the bike frame.
Check it out in my video review below, then keep reading as we dive into the details of this funky new take on a folding fat tire bike.

An uncommon design
At first blush, the feature list on the EUY K6 Pro feels fairly familiar. A Class 3 e-bike with a 1,000W peak rated rear hub motor for a top speed of 28 mph (45 km/h)… it’s all pretty common these days.
Parts like hydraulic disc brakes start to make my ears perk up, though the 160 mm rotors are a bit smaller than I’d like to see. But as I start to dig deeper, now I’m starting to find things I really like.
The full-suspension design isn’t overly fancy, but there aren’t very many full-suspension folding fat tire e-bikes on the market. More are popping up, but they’re the exception, not the rule.
The suspension here is decent up front, not quite as good in the rear, but it’s fine for recreational riding and will prevent a random tree root from sending the saddle into your tail bone with catapulting force.
Continuing around the bike, I’m liking it even more. A detachable Samsung 48V and 25Ah battery for 1,200Wh of capacity? Sign me up! They say I’ll get up to 80 miles of range on pedal assist, but we all know that’s on super low power mode and with medical-grade helium pumping the tires up to a rock hard level of PSI. For us normal folks in the real world, 30-40 miles of range on throttle is still going to be much better than some of the major players with half the battery of the EUY K6 Pro.
Even the 8-speed transmission adds some value for me.
But then there’s that folding mechanism, and this is where things start to get weird. It allows that interesting, uniquely chunky frame design, but it also has a strange method of operation.
There’s a thumb screw-style clamp under the hinge at the center of the bike. You crank that sucker open like you’re about to perform maintenance on some municipal plumbing. Once it’s open far enough, the teeth disengage, and the entire front half of the bike is free to swing around to meet the back.
The bike is now half as long and twice as wide as it used to be. It’s smaller, in a way. But it’s not quite as compact as I’m used to seeing with folding e-bikes that feature hinges in both the center of the frame and at the handlebars.
With the EUY K6 Pro, the hinge seems to change the shape of the bike, but not make it that much smaller. I’m not sure it would fit in a typical car trunk this way, though it would probably slide easier in to the back of an SUV with its reduced length.
So while the folding setup doesn’t seem to add all that much to the bike, the rest of the EUY K6 Pro is still fairly interesting to me.
It’s comfortable to ride, especially with that big butterfly of a saddle cradling my tuchus and the tall handlebars giving me a nice upright riding position.
The powerful rear motor and Class 3 speeds give me plenty of performance, and I even love that I’ve got a complete fender and rack set, something that is often left off of full-suspension e-bikes.
I’ll dock a few points for the tail light being independently battery-powered instead of running off of the main e-bike battery, especially since 1,200Wh means there’s plenty of battery to go around. The last thing I want is to be fishing around my junk drawer for spare coin cell batteries. But all in all, the feature list and performance are fairly on point.
A price of $1,900 isn’t overly expensive for the bike, especially with twice the battery capacity of most of its competition. But it’s also not a shockingly low price, either. In my opinion, you’re partly paying for an overly complicated folding mechanism that just isn’t that necessary.
I like the interesting design of the frame since it’s a departure from the boring dime-a-dozen folding e-bikes out there, but it’s also a bit unnecessary in my opinion.
So while the bike works well, part of me wishes they had just built an interesting frame for an e-moped without going all folder on me. But hey, that’s why the e-bike market is so great: With hundreds of models out there, if this one doesn’t speak to you, then you’re bound to find one that will.

Robinhood stock hit an all-time high Friday as the financial services platform continued to rip higher this year, along with bitcoin and other crypto stocks.
Robinhood, up more than 160% in 2025, hit an intraday high above $101 before pulling back and closing slightly lower.
The reversal came after a Bloomberg report that JPMorgan plans to start charging fintechs for access to customer bank data, a move that could raise costs across the industry.
For fintech firms that rely on thin margins to offer free or low-cost services to customers, even slight disruptions to their cost structure can have major ripple effects. PayPal and Affirm both ended the day nearly 6% lower following the report.
Despite its stellar year, the online broker is facing several headwinds, with a regulatory probe in Florida, pushback over new staking fees and growing friction with one of the world’s most high-profile artificial intelligence companies.
Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier opened a formal investigation into Robinhood Crypto on Thursday, alleging the platform misled users by claiming to offer the lowest-cost crypto trading.
“Robinhood has long claimed to be the best bargain, but we believe those representations were deceptive,” Uthmeier said in a statement.
The probe centers on Robinhood’s use of payment for order flow — a common practice where market makers pay to execute trades — which the AG said can result in worse pricing for customers.
Robinhood Crypto General Counsel Lucas Moskowitz told CNBC its disclosures are “best-in-class” and that it delivers the lowest average cost.
“We disclose pricing information to customers during the lifecycle of a trade that clearly outlines the spread or the fees associated with the transaction, and the revenue Robinhood receives,” added Moskowitz.
Robinhood is also facing opposition to a new 25% cut of staking rewards for U.S. users, set to begin October 1. In Europe, the platform will take a smaller 15% cut.
Staking allows crypto holders to earn yield by locking up their tokens to help secure blockchain networks like ethereum, but platforms often take a percentage of those rewards as commission.
Robinhood’s 25% cut puts it in line with Coinbase, which charges between 25.25% and 35% depending on the token. The cut is notably higher than Gemini’s flat 15% fee.
It marks a shift for the company, which had previously steered clear of staking amid regulatory uncertainty.
Under President Joe Biden‘s administration, the Securities and Exchange Commission cracked down on U.S. platforms offering staking services, arguing they constituted unregistered securities.
With President Donald Trump in the White House, the agency has reversed course on several crypto enforcement actions, dropping cases against major players like Coinbase and Binance and signaling a more permissive stance.
Even as enforcement actions ease, Robinhood is under fresh scrutiny for its tokenized stock push, which is a growing part of its international strategy.
The company now offers blockchain-based assets in Europe that give users synthetic exposure to private firms like OpenAI and SpaceX through special purpose vehicles, or SPVs.
An SPV is a separate entity that acquires shares in a company. Users then buy tokens of the SPV and don’t have shareholder privileges or voting rights directly in the company.
OpenAI has publicly objected, warning the tokens do not represent real equity and were issued without its approval. In an interview with CNBC International, CEO Vlad Tenev acknowledged the tokens aren’t technically equity shares, but said that misses the broader point.
“What’s important is that retail customers have an opportunity to get exposure to this asset,” he said, pointing to the disruptive nature of AI and the historically limited access to pre-IPO companies.
“It is true that these are not technically equity,” Tenev added, noting that institutional investors often gain similar exposure through structured financial instruments.
The Bank of Lithuania — Robinhood’s lead regulator in the EU — told CNBC on Monday that it is “awaiting clarifications” following OpenAI’s statement.
“Only after receiving and evaluating this information will we be able to assess the legality and compliance of these specific instruments,” a spokesperson said, adding that information for investors must be “clear, fair, and non-misleading.”
Tenev responded that Robinhood is “happy to continue to answer questions from our regulators,” and said the company built its tokenized stock program to withstand scrutiny.
“Since this is a new thing, regulators are going to want to look at it,” he said. “And we expect to be scrutinized as a large, innovative player in this space.”
SEC Chair Paul Atkins recently called the model “an innovation” on CNBC’s Squawk Box, offering some validation as Robinhood leans further into its synthetic equity strategy — even as legal clarity remains in flux across jurisdictions.
Despite the regulatory noise, many investors remain focused on Robinhood’s upside, and particularly the political tailwinds.
The company is positioning itself as a key beneficiary of Trump’s newly signed megabill, which includes $1,000 government-seeded investment accounts for newborns. Robinhood said it’s already prototyping an app for the ‘Trump Accounts‘ initiative.

Korean auto giants Hyundai and Kia think lower-priced EVs will help minimize the blow from the new US auto tariffs. Hyundai is set to unveil a new entry-level electric car soon, which will be sold alongside the Kia EV2. Will it be the IONIQ 2?
Hyundai and Kia shift to lower-priced EVs
Hyundai and Kia already offer some of the most affordable and efficient electric vehicles on the market, with models like the IONIQ 5 and EV6.
In Europe, Korea, Japan, and other overseas markets, Hyundai sells the Inster EV (sold as the Casper Electric in Korea), an electric city car. The Inster EV starts at about $27,000 (€23,900), but Hyundai will soon offer another lower-priced EV, similar to the upcoming Kia EV2.
The Inster EV is seeing strong initial demand in Europe and Japan. According to a local report (via Newsis), demand for the Casper Electric is so high that buyers are waiting over a year for delivery.
Hyundai is doubling down with plans to introduce an even more affordable EV, rumored to be the IONIQ 2. Xavier Martinet, CEO of Hyundai Motor Europe, said during a recent interview that “The new electric vehicle will be unveiled in the next few months.”
The new EV is expected to be a compact SUV, which will likely resemble the upcoming Kia EV2. Kia will launch the EV2 in Europe and other global regions in 2026.
Hyundai is keeping most details under wraps, but the expected IONIQ 2 is likely to sit below the Kona Electric as a smaller city EV.
More affordable electric cars are on the way
Although nothing is confirmed, it’s expected to be priced at around €30,000 ($35,000), or slightly less than the Kia EV3.
The Kia EV3 starts at €35,990 in Europe and £33,005 in the UK, or about $42,000. Through the first half of the year, Kia’s compact electric SUV is the UK’s most popular EV.
Like the Hyundai IONIQ models and Kia’s other electric vehicles, the EV3 is based on the E-GMP platform. It’s available with two battery packs: 58.3 kWh or 81.48 kWh, providing a WLTP range of up to 430 km (270 miles) and 599 km (375 miles), respectively.
Hyundai is expected to reveal the new EV at the IAA Mobility show in Munich in September. Meanwhile, Kia is working on a smaller electric car to sit below the EV2 that could start at under €25,000 ($30,000).
According to the report, Hyundai and Kia are doubling down on lower-priced EVs to balance potential losses from the new US auto tariffs.
Despite opening its new EV manufacturing plant in Georgia to boost local production, Hyundai is still expected to expand sales in other regions. An industry insider explained, “Considering the risk of US tariffs, Hyundai’s move to target the European market with small electric vehicles is a natural strategy.”
Although Hyundai is expanding in other markets, it remains a leading EV brand in the US. The IONIQ 5 remains a top-selling EV with over 19,000 units sold through June.
After delivering the first IONIQ 9 models in May, Hyundai reported that over 1,000 models had been sold through the end of June, its three-row electric SUV.
While the $7,500 EV tax credit is still here, Hyundai is offering generous savings with leases for the 2025 IONIQ 5 starting as low as $179 per month. The three-row IONIQ 9 starts at just $419 per month. And Hyundai is even throwing in a free ChargePoint Home Flex Level 2 charger if you buy or lease either model.
Unfortunately, we likely won’t see the entry-level EV2 or IONIQ 2 in the US. However, Kia is set to launch its first electric sedan, the EV4, in early 2026.
Ready to take advantage of the savings while they are still here? You can use our links below to find deals on Hyundai and Kia EV models in your area.
