Bottom line
The HAOQI Squirrel is a budget folding e-bike with a 500W motor, 499Wh battery, and fat tires. Testers praise the balanced handling, smooth power, and comfortable riding position. However, they highlight drawbacks such as the relatively small battery, squeaky brakes, and discomfort on bumpy terrain. Additionally, the bike lacks a taillight, the bell is too quiet, and the height range is exaggerated. Customer support and warranty follow-through also receive mixed reviews. Nonetheless, the HAOQI Squirrel's well-rounded performance, low price, and practical accessories make it a reasonable contender in the fat-tire folding e-bike segment.Expert Reviews
