FLIT M2i Review: A Lighter Folding E-Bike That Beats Brompton's Best

British manufacturer FLIT has introduced its newest folding e-bike, the M2i, which tips the scales at a mere 13.3 kg (29.3 lb). That’s notably lighter than Brompton’s lightest electric offering, a feat achieved without sacrificing the essential features riders expect from a modern e-bike. For urban commuters who struggle with carrying heavy bikes up stairs or onto trains, this weight reduction could be a game-changer.

The M2i maintains the compact folding design that made FLIT’s previous models popular among city dwellers. Despite its featherweight frame, it comes fully equipped with integrated lighting, a reliable drivetrain, and a battery system cleverly hidden within the frame’s structure. The engineering focus here is on practicality: seamless folding, effortless portability, and a ride quality that doesn’t feel compromised by the low weight.

FLIT’s approach challenges the status quo in the folding e-bike segment, where heavier builds were once accepted as inevitable. By shaving off significant grams while retaining performance, the M2i invites a new wave of commuters to consider electric cycling as a truly convenient daily option. Its arrival signals a growing trend toward ultra-light electric mobility solutions in crowded urban environments.
