Our verdict
Rattan makes folding, step-through and fat-tire e-bikes for European riders who want fat tyres with a battery that can be charged away from the frame, and support runs on phone, chat and help centre. The trade-off sits in the cover, since the frame warranty runs 1 year against a money back window of 15 days.

Pros and cons
Pros
- A single maker covers folding, step through and fat tire, so a folding buyer and a fat-tire buyer can shop the same range.
- A removable battery is listed, so the pack charges away from the frame in a shared flat or at work.
- Support runs on phone, chat and help centre, and phone is the more common channel on the site's e-bike listings at 69.2% against 25.9% for community boards.
- Buying runs on both, so a dealer handover is available alongside a direct order.
- A money back window of 15 days lets a buyer check fat tyres on real streets before keeping the bike.
Cons
- The frame warranty runs 1 year, which is light cover for a bike most riders expect to keep for years.
- Tern's formats, cargo, commuter and folding, reach cargo and commuter shapes, so a buyer who needs carrying capacity looks past Rattan's folding, step through and fat tire.
- Entry prices differ by format: folding listings sit at €788.39 and fat-tire listings at €799.93, so compare within a format rather than across the range.
Who it suits
- Riders in Europe who want fat tyres on a step-through frame and will buy direct.
- Commuters who need a folding frame and a pack that can be carried up stairs, since the battery is removable.
- Buyers who would rather phone than visit a workshop counter, given support runs on phone, chat and help centre.
Who should look elsewhere
- Kalkhoff riders who want city, hybrid or eMTB formats, since city, hybrid and step through sits well apart from Rattan's folding, step through and fat tire.
- Tern buyers after a cargo bike, where cargo, commuter and folding covers carrying shapes rather than fat tyres.
- HK BEIRUI TRADE CO. riders who want a commuter or eMTB frame alongside folding, given commuter, folding and fat tire.
Core features
The core spec is short and practical rather than elaborate. A removable battery is listed, so the pack can be carried to a socket in a shared flat, an office or a garage where the frame has no power point nearby, and the bike need not live beside a wall outlet. Against that, the cover is the thinner side: the frame warranty runs 1 year, the number to weigh first if the bike is meant to be kept for years, since aftercare past that point falls largely on the owner. The money back window of 15 days sits alongside it. Bought direct, that pairing describes the shape of the purchase: a short stretch in which to confirm that the frame, the tyres and the ride suit the daily route, followed by a long stretch in which the frame stands on its own. Support through phone, chat and help centre fills some of the gap after the window closes, which is where a help centre and a phone line earn their place.
How rattanebike compares
Frequently asked questions
Which bike formats does Rattan cover?+
Rattan's listed bike types are folding, step through and fat tire, so the range spans three formats rather than the city, hybrid and eMTB mix at Kalkhoff, which lists city, hybrid and step through. A buyer who wants fat tyres and a folding frame in the same maker starts here.
What price band do these e-bikes sit in?+
Rattan has no single entry price in the comparison, so read the band across the listings. E-bike entry prices sit at €919.93 in the middle and reach €14,000, with folding entries at €788.39 and fat-tire entries at €799.93.
How long is the money back window?+
The money back period is 15 days, which gives a buyer a short stretch to ride the bike at home before deciding. Set beside a frame warranty of 1 year, it describes buying direct in one line: a quick return window and thin long term cover.
What does the warranty cover?+
Cover is stated as 1 year on the frame. That is the number to hold against a dealer backed brand where a local workshop carries more of the aftercare, and it is the first thing a long term owner should check before ordering a fat tyre bike.
How do I reach support?+
Support runs on phone, chat and help centre, so phone and chat sit alongside a help centre and a community space. Phone is the more common channel across the site's e-bike listings at 69.2%, against 25.9% for community boards, so a call is the likeliest route to an answer.
Can I buy from a dealer as well as online?+
Rattan's sales model is both, which covers direct buying alongside dealer routes. A rider who prefers a local handover has that option, while anyone who wants to set the specification and collect support by phone can order straight from the maker.
Is the battery removable?+
A removable battery is listed, which matches the wider pattern: 98.9% of the site's e-bike listings carry one. It means the pack can be charged away from the bike, which matters in a shared flat, an office or a workshop with no power near the frame.
Are these hub or mid-drive bikes?+
This corner of the market leans hub: hub motors appear on 77.4% of the site's e-bike listings, against 22.6% for mid-drive. Anyone set on a mid-drive motor for weight and torque delivery should read the model specification before ordering.
