Rattan Pinus Overview
The Rattan Pinus is a folding step-through fat tire electric bike that combines three premium specifications in one practical package: torque sensor pedal assist for a natural, intuitive ride feel, a 750W motor with 80 Nm of torque for genuine performance on hills and mixed terrain, and a 48V 20Ah Samsung battery for up to 80 miles of range with the option to add a second battery for approximately 150 miles. The hydroformed 6061 aluminum step-through frame folds for convenient storage and transport while the step-through opening makes mounting and dismounting effortless.
Available in Sky Blue and Lava Red, the Pinus targets riders who want the torque sensor riding experience and strong motor performance in a portable, step-through folding format. The 20 x 4.0 inch fat tires provide all-terrain traction and a cushioned ride on pavement, gravel, and light off-road surfaces. A 4.5A fast charger brings the 20Ah battery to full in 4 to 5 hours. The dual battery option is available at purchase for riders planning longer adventures.

Key Features and Benefits
- Torque Sensor PAS, 83% More Efficient: The torque sensor delivers up to 83% greater energy efficiency over cadence-sensor systems by responding to actual pedaling force rather than rotation speed. It provides a natural riding feel where the motor amplifies your effort, preserving battery life and extending range in real-world use compared to cadence alternatives.
- 750W Motor, 1500W Peak, 80 Nm: Strong motor performance for a folding step-through bike. The 80 Nm of torque handles hills, acceleration, and mixed terrain confidently. The 1500W peak provides headroom for demanding situations without motor strain.
- Folding Step-Through Frame: The hydroformed 6061 aluminum step-through frame folds for compact storage and transport while the low step-through opening makes mounting easy in any clothing or gear. Both features serve daily convenience in different ways.
- 48V 20Ah Samsung Battery: Genuine Samsung cells provide reliable 80-mile range per charge with a 4.5A fast charger for 4 to 5 hour full recharge. The removable design allows indoor charging without bringing the whole bike inside.
- Dual Battery Option: A second 20Ah battery extends range to approximately 150 miles, removing charging as a constraint for long-distance riding. Selected at purchase for riders who know they need extended range.
- 20 x 4.0 Inch Fat Tires: Wide fat tires provide stable traction and natural shock absorption on pavement, gravel, sand, and light off-road terrain. The compact 20-inch wheel size folds efficiently with the frame.
- 180mm Hydraulic Disc Brakes: Front and rear hydraulic disc brakes provide reliable, weather-resistant stopping with minimal lever effort in all conditions.
- LCD Color Display with App: The color display pairs with the Rattan mobile app for real-time speed, battery, power, and riding mode monitoring.
Who Is This For?
The Rattan Pinus is built for riders who want the torque sensor riding experience in a folding step-through format. If you commute by a combination of cycling and public transit, the folding capability makes the bike practical for multi-modal use. If you prefer the accessible mounting of a step-through frame, the Pinus provides it without sacrificing motor performance or battery range. The torque sensor makes daily riding more enjoyable and efficient than cadence-sensor alternatives.
Riders who plan longer adventure rides and want the dual battery option available will find the Pinus one of the few folding step-through bikes that supports this extension. The 150-mile dual battery range opens up long-distance touring possibilities that are rarely available on folding electric bikes. Available in Sky Blue and Lava Red, both colors offer distinctive aesthetics that stand out from the typically conservative palette of commuter-oriented folding bikes.
Performance and Ride Quality
The torque sensor and 750W motor combination provides a riding experience that is more natural and efficient than the typical cadence-sensor folding e-bike. The motor responds proportionally to pedaling effort, which makes riding feel connected and intuitive. On hills, the motor scales up as you push harder, which is exactly the right behavior for maintaining comfortable climbing without excessive motor consumption. The 80-mile range from the Samsung cells reflects genuine real-world performance from quality battery components.
Design and Build Quality
The Pinus uses hydroformed 6061 aluminum for a strong, lightweight folding step-through frame. The folding mechanism and step-through opening work well together as complementary convenience features. Available in Sky Blue and Lava Red, both colors are distinctive and contemporary, distinguishing the Pinus from more subdued alternatives in the folding e-bike category.
Folding Fat Tire E-Bikes with Torque Sensing
The combination of folding frame, step-through design, fat tires, and torque sensing in a single bike is rare at the Pinus’s price point. Most folding e-bikes at accessible prices use cadence sensors. Most torque sensor e-bikes are full-size non-folding models. The Pinus occupies a specific niche for riders who want all four features: portability, accessibility, all-terrain capability, and the superior ride feel of torque-sensing pedal assist. For riders who understand the difference torque sensing makes to daily riding and want it in a foldable step-through package, the Pinus is a distinctive and well-specified option.

The Pinus torque sensor’s efficiency advantage accumulates meaningfully in urban riding contexts. Each stop and restart cycle benefits from proportional assist that does not waste battery on fixed high-output assist when gentle acceleration is all the terrain requires. Over a daily commute with multiple traffic stops, this efficiency difference between torque sensing and cadence sensing adds up to meaningful additional range per charge. For riders whose daily route includes many stops, the practical range of the 20Ah Samsung battery stretches further on the Pinus than an equivalent cadence-sensor bike with the same battery would achieve.
The dual battery option extends range to approximately 150 miles and is worth selecting at purchase if your planned rides frequently exceed 60 miles or if you intend to use the Pinus for adventure touring alongside daily commuting. Retrofitting the second battery after initial purchase is possible but less convenient than selecting it at the time of order. Our team at Electric Bikes Paradise can help determine whether the single or dual battery configuration is the better match for your specific use case, both your current riding distances and your planned future use. The Pinus in Sky Blue or Lava Red is a distinctive choice among folding step-through e-bikes in 2026. Contact us at +1 (307) 429-0021 before purchase.

How does long-term battery care affect range?
Storing the battery at 40 to 80 percent charge for extended non-riding periods, keeping it indoors in cold weather, and avoiding regular full depletion all preserve capacity over hundreds of charge cycles. Following these practices significantly extends the usable life of the battery compared to ignoring them.
Assembly and Maintenance
Rattan electric bikes ship partially assembled with the major components factory-installed. Final assembly involves attaching the handlebar, front wheel, and pedals using the included tools and instructions. Most riders complete setup in 20 to 30 minutes. Before your first ride, verify all bolts are tightened, confirm brakes engage firmly, and charge the battery to full. If your model includes a torque sensor, take a few minutes on a low-traffic route to get familiar with how the sensor responds to your pedaling input before riding in demanding conditions.
For long-term performance, keep the chain clean and lubricated every 100 to 200 miles or after wet rides. Check tire pressure before every significant ride. Inspect brake pads periodically and replace when worn. Have the drivetrain and suspension serviced annually at a qualified bike shop. The motor and battery require no user maintenance beyond keeping electrical connections clean and dry. Store the battery at 40 to 80 percent charge when not riding for extended periods, and keep it indoors in cold weather to maintain performance and extend its service life.
