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.

euy k6 pro

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.

Tesla launches first full V4 Supercharger station with 500 kW capacity

Tesla launches first full V4 Supercharger station with 500 kW capacity

Tesla Supercharger V4 peak charge rate

Tesla has finally turned on its first full V4 Supercharger (stalls plus cabinets), capable of 500 kW charging, marking the end of a confusing rollout of the next-generation chargers over the last three years.

The Supercharger network is by far the best large-scale electric vehicle fast-charging network in the world.

It is arguably the best thing Tesla has ever done.

The network leads in terms of scale, usefulness, reliability, and overall ease of use. In Europe and Asia, there’s decent competition, but in North America, there’s no close second.

However, there’s one aspect of fast-charging networks where Tesla doesn’t lead: charging rate and, therefore, time.

For a decade, other charging networks have achieved and even surpassed a 350 kW peak charge rate.

In fact, in 2016, when Tesla started talking about its next-gen V3 Superchargers, I asked CEO Elon Musk if it would be capable of 350 kW charging, and he suggested that it would be higher than that – calling 350 kW “a children’s toy”:

That comment didn’t age well as Tesla’s V3 Supercharger peaked at 250 kW, and it has been the norm for almost the last 10 years.

In 2023, Tesla started deploying “V4 Superchargers”, but the rollout has been confusing.

For the first time, Tesla claimed that V4 Superchargers finally achieved “children’s toy” capacity of 350 kW, but the automaker didn’t deploy genuine “V4” Superchargers at the time.

Instead, Tesla only deployed V4 charging stalls or posts, but the power actually comes from the charging cabinets, and those remained the same V3 cabinets.

The main change with the new charging posts was the introduction of a new, longer charging cable, which enabled easier accessibility for non-Tesla vehicles, many of which have different charge port locations.

Tesla Supercharger V4 official

Late last year, Tesla finally announced that the first full V4 Superchargers, featuring the new cabinets and up to 500 kW charging, would arrive in 2025.

Earlier this year, the automaker also announced that it managed to boost the capacity of its V4 posts with V3 cabinets to 325 kW.

Tesla’s first real V4 Supercharger is here

Today, Tesla confirmed that its first full V4 Supercharger station (with V4 stalls and power cabinets) has been activated in Redwood City, California:

The automaker shared an image of the first people to charge at the new V4 Supercharger station:

However, you can’t take advantage of the new capacity with a Model 3. Only Tesla’s Cybertruck can use the full capacity of the new V4 Superchargers.

Tesla shared a video of a Cybertruck reaching the max capacity:

The video showed the Cybertruck virtually completely depleted. Therefore, it’s unclear how long it can maintain the peak 500 kW charge rate, but the video suggests that it can charge from 0 to 80% state of charge in 35 minutes, which is a great charge time.

For now, only Tesla vehicles can charge at the new V4 Superchargers, but the automaker aims to make it available to non-Tesla vehicles soon.

Many more non-Tesla models can take advantage of the higher charge than Tesla models, which is limited to the Cybertruck.

BYD is discounting EVs as much as 50% in this brutal overseas market

BYD is discounting EVs as much as 50% in this brutal overseas market

BYD-discounts-EVs-overseas

BYD is bringing China’s EV price war, which it helped ignite, overseas. After launching steep discounts of up to 50% on its most popular EVs, BYD wants to charge up sales in this key overseas region

BYD is heavily discounting EVs in Japan

It has been over two years since BYD introduced its first vehicle in Japan in early 2023, but the company has yet to experience the explosive sales growth it has seen in other overseas regions.

It isn’t all BYD’s fault. Japan is a notoriously brutal market for foreign automakers. Domestic brands, like Toyota, Honda, and Nissan, dominate sales year after year, mostly with low-cost city cars.

Lower-priced vehicles are BYD’s specialty, and one of the main factors driving its impressive growth in China and overseas regions, including Southeast Asia, parts of Europe, and Central and South America. But Japan is a different beast.

Since entering the market in January 2023, BYD has sold just 5,300 vehicles in Japan through June of this year. The company now offers four EVs in Japan and just opened its 45th sales location.

To attract buyers, BYD launched an aggressive campaign offering discounts of up to 50% off EVs, including government subsidies.

“Maybe it’s time for an EV,” the company is promoting. On BYD’s website, the Seal, Atto 3, and Dolphin are all listed as on sale.

BYD-discounts-EVs-overseas

The Atto 3, one of BYD’s top-selling electric SUVs, starts at just ¥4.18 million ($28,100), down from ¥4.4 million ($29,600) earlier this year.

Although the price cuts were effective in China, they could backfire in Japan. According to Bloomberg Intelligence senior auto analyst Tatsuo Yoshida, the move could hurt resale value and risk upsetting current BYD drivers who paid higher prices for the same vehicle.

BYD-discounts-EVs-Japan

Meanwhile, it may not all be about market share for BYD. “Winning Japan isn’t the point; leaving a mark is. Earning even a sliver of recognition from the most demanding customers in the world matters for BYD,” Yoshida said.

What BYD really wants, “is to have a track record of doing business in Japan with the world’s most discerning, quality conscious customers,” Bloomberg’s senior auto analyst explained, “even if it’s not economically rational.”

Can BYD make its mark in Japan? It’s planning to launch its first electric kei car, the small city cars that fill Japan’s streets, in the second half of 2026.

BYD’s mini electric car will compete with the Nissan Sakura, Japan’s top-selling EV, and the recently launched Honda N-ONE e, the brand’s first compact electric vehicle. Honda launched the N-ONE e on September 12, starting at just ¥2.7 million ($18,300).
