FAQs

Is the ENGWE L20 3.0 Boost legal in Ireland/EU?

Yes—the L20 3.0 Boost uses a 250W motor capped at 25 km/h with pedal assist to comply with EU norms. The unique “Boost Button” gives a short torque surge while remaining pedal-assist based. Always follow your local regulations.

What’s the difference between Engine Pro 1.0 and 2.0?

The 2.0 updates the system to 52V/16Ah with a 750W motor (1200W peak), refined ride feel, and updated component spec. It keeps the quick-folding, fat-tyre stability that made the series popular.

Hydraulic vs mechanical brakes?

Hydraulics offer lighter lever feel and stronger modulation, great for heavier riders or hilly routes. Mechanical discs are simpler and easier to service yourself. Several picks here use mechanical brakes to keep costs down.

Do you ship to the EU/UK/USA?

Yes. InTheZone supports Ireland (primary), 27 EU countries, plus the UK & USA on selected models. Stock & pricing vary by region—see each product page at checkout.
