# I just tested one of the lightest electric bikes ever: Dahon K-Feather review

> The Dahon K-Feather is a lightweight electric bike designed for urban commuting. Weighing around 26 lb (11.8 kg), it stands out for its minimalist design and cleverly integrated battery in the seatpost. While it may seem low-power on paper, it excels in its intended use as a simple, efficient urban commuter, offering a refreshing experience even years after its release.

The Dahon K-Feather is one of those electric bikes that makes a lot more sense the longer you ride it. On paper, it looks rather low-power and low-capacity compared to the spec sheets for most e-bikes. In practice, especially when used exactly as intended, it turns out to be a remarkably well-executed urban commuter that still feels refreshingly different years after its release.

Launched earlier this year by Dahon, a brand best known for decades of folding bike experience, the K-Feather was never meant to compete with high-power folding e-bikes loaded with throttles, suspension, and giant batteries.

Instead, it aims for something far simpler: a super lightweight folding bike that just happens to have electric assist.

## **A lightweight e-bike, even by light e-bike standards**

At around 26 lb (11.8 kg), the K-Feather is shockingly light for an electric bike, even by today’s standards. Pick it up and it barely registers as an e-bike at all. That’s largely thanks to its extremely minimalist design, highlighted by the cleverly hidden battery integrated into the seatpost.
