Our verdict on each
Egret
Egret is a German scooter maker whose folding models sit in the middle of the price field, with prices from €399 and a claimed range of 100 km. It suits riders on a long commute who want a road legal kick-scooter in Germany plus spare parts and warranty from one company.
engwe-bikes
ENGWE bikes suit riders who want city, folding, fat tyre and cargo e-bikes from one brand, with direct sales, finance and a claimed range of 350 km on the longest-range model. Buyers planning to keep a bike for years should weigh the 1-year frame warranty against the price before committing, because cover is thin.

Pros and cons
Egret
Pros
- A 949 Wh battery with 100 km of claimed range, and a battery rank of 4 out of 20 brands.
- Suspension is fitted and folding is listed as yes, so one scooter covers rough commutes and train travel.
- Warranty of 24 months plus a spare parts shop, so wear parts come from the maker that built it.
Cons
- Support runs on chat and help centre only, so there is no phone line for anyone who wants to talk a fault through.
- Road legality is listed for de only, even though shipping reaches DE, AT and FR, so riders elsewhere must check local rules.
- At 21.8 kg it needs a two handed lift onto a rack or platform rather than a quick carry up a stair.
engwe-bikes
Pros
- One brand covers city, folding, fat tyre and cargo bikes (city, folding and fat tire), so a household with mixed needs stays inside a single catalogue.
- The claimed range reaches 350 km on the longest-range model and the battery ceiling is 720 Wh, with a removable pack for charging.
- A mid motor (mid) meets hydraulic disc brakes (hydraulic disc) and an EU 25 assist class, which is the calmer setup on European roads.
Cons
- Warranty cover is thin, with 1 years for the frame and 1 years for the battery, so a long ownership carries repair risk.
- Repairs run through a partner network (partner) rather than ENGWE workshops, so turnaround depends on local partners.
- The entry price of €999 sits above the €876.09 median across the site, so the cheapest ENGWE bike is not a budget buy.
Who each suits
Egret
Who it suits
- Riders on a long daily commute who want 100 km of claimed range without moving up to a seated or moped style vehicle.
- Anyone in Germany who needs a road legal kick-scooter and wants spare parts sold by the same company.
- Riders who load their scooter into a car boot or train rack and can manage a two handed lift of 21.8 kg.
Who should look elsewhere
- Ticket hunters, because Egret ranks 25 out of 52 brands on price, so isinwheel is worth pricing alongside it.
- Riders outside Germany, because road legality is listed for de only, so aovo-official is the one to check against local rules instead.
- Riders who want a phone helpline, since contact runs through chat and help centre and nothing else.
engwe-bikes
Who it suits
- Riders who want a single brand across city, folding, fat tyre and cargo bikes, rather than splitting the list between Kalkhoff and TERN.
- Cargo carriers and folders who care about a removable pack and a stated payload of 150 kg, where Kalkhoff at city, hybrid and step through carries no cargo shape.
- Scooter buyers as well, since the same maker sells a road legal kick scooter listed for de.
Who should look elsewhere
- Anyone after a dealer network or step-through and eMTB shapes should look at Kalkhoff, whose range covers city, hybrid and step through.
- Riders who want a commuter-first catalogue with cargo and folding but no fat tyre bikes should compare TERN at cargo, commuter and folding.
- Buyers who want an eMTB option alongside folding and fat tyre should weigh HK BEIRUI TRADE CO., listed at commuter, folding and fat tire.
