The LOOKRUN G11 is a very compact folding e-bike for short urban trips: from the station to the office, round a campus or between a campervan and the shops. It rides on small 14 inch wheels but carries a relatively large 48 V 13 Ah battery, and the listing claims IP65 water resistance, the highest rating stated among the folders in our guide. A two-year manufacturer warranty adds reassurance.

- Two-year manufacturer warranty and a claimed IP65 water resistance rating.

Good to know
- Neither weight nor folded size is stated in the listing.
- Small 14 inch wheels and no listed gears suit flat riding only.
Our take
Motor, battery and range
LOOKRUN lists a 250 W, 45 Nm brushless motor with a top speed of 25 km/h. The 48 V 13 Ah battery works out at about 624 Wh, large for a bike of this size. The title quotes 45 to 80 km of range; the upper figure is a best case on flat ground at low assist.
The LCD display shows power, speed and mileage, and lets you set a fixed speed on flat roads, effectively a cruise function. It also displays an error code if something goes wrong, which helps with diagnosis.
Brakes, suspension and wheels
Mechanical disc brakes are fitted front and rear. A suspension fork takes the edge off rough surfaces. The 14 by 2.1 inch tyres are described as giving stability on asphalt, gravel, sand and snow, but small wheels drop into potholes more readily than larger ones, so ride with care on broken roads.
No gears are listed, which means you will rely on the motor on any climb.
What the listing leaves out
There is no weight and no folded size. For a folding bike those are the two figures that decide whether it fits under a desk or in a boot, so ask the seller before ordering. The box includes the battery, charger and a tool kit, and a headlight is mentioned in the features.
Compared with the FabricBike Volt
The FabricBike Volt has larger 20 inch wheels, a stated 16.5 kg weight and full folded dimensions, but a smaller 250 Wh battery and no suspension. The G11 offers more battery and a suspension fork with less certainty about size. The SAMEBIKE LO26-II is a full-size folding alternative with 21 gears for riders covering longer distances.
Taller riders should note the bike is listed as one size, with no rider height range given.
Verdict
Choose the LOOKRUN G11 for short, flat city trips where a compact frame, a decent battery and an IP65 claim matter. If you need to carry it often and want stated weight and size, the FabricBike Volt is the safer pick, and longer commutes suit the SAMEBIKE LO26-II.
