This Model Is Fully Compliant With UK Road Regulations
This bike is built to comply with UK Electrically Assisted Pedal Cycle (EAPC) regulations, meaning it can be used on public roads and cycle paths without registration, tax, or a licence. Motor assistance is limited to 250W and cuts off at 15.5 mph (25 km/h).
See UK LegislationThis one carries 749 Wh of battery. The maker quotes 43 mi; in mixed riding with some hills, expect nearer 32 mi. A full charge costs about £0.21. Across a year that is roughly £979.00 less than making the same journeys by car, so the bike pays for itself in about 10 months. Everything here is worked out from this bike's own specification. Estimates, not promises: the assumptions are printed underneath.

Fifteen point six amp hours, folding, and legal
The KOOLUX X16 carries a 48V 15.6Ah battery on a folding frame and claims up to 150 km, at £739.
250W and 15.5 mph: it meets the EAPC rules, so there is no licence, no tax and no registration.
Fifteen point six amp hours at 48 volts
A larger pack than 58% of our catalogue, and at 48V rather than 36 it carries about 750 watt hours.
- Seventy to a hundred and fifty kilometres claimed
- Our table carries 43 miles, the cautious figure
- Five and a half hours for a full charge, which is short
- And a 20-degree climbing limit published
Three-inch tyres, not four
Twenty by three inches: wider than a city tyre, narrower than a true fat tyre.
That is the width that takes a paving edge without costing the range a four-inch tyre would. It is also most of why this bike is 68 lbs rather than eighty.
Disc brakes and an IP54 rating
Discs front and rear, with protection against dust and splashing water rather than a jet wash.
KOOLUX does not say whether the discs are hydraulic or cable, and we will not guess. Ask us before you order and we will have them confirm it.
It folds to a genuinely small box
The package is 91 × 38 × 74.5 cm, against 164 × 56 × 120 cm unfolded.
That is a smaller carton than most 20-inch folders arrive in, which tells you how far the frame actually folds. Boxed weight is 38 kg for a 31 kg bike.
265 lbs of payload, and a minimum age
Lower than 96% of our catalogue: you and everything on the bike, together. KOOLUX puts the minimum age at 16.
Three colours are listed: black, grey and white. Tell us which you want when you order, because the table below cannot show that.
Before the first ride, and who it is for
KOOLUX publishes seventeen rows for this model. There is no frame material and no torque figure, and both stay empty below rather than being invented.
- Unfold and lock the frame and the stem, then check both again after the first hour
- Bed both disc brakes in at walking pace
- Inflate both tyres before the first ride
- Set the saddle before you set off
- Allow five and a half hours for the first charge
Buy it for the battery at this money, on a legal bike that folds small. If you need four-inch tyres for soft ground, the BK6S 4.0 is the one to look at instead.

- Are the electric bikes brand new?
- Yes. All electric bikes sold by BikTron are brand new, factory-sealed, and sourced directly from authorised manufacturers and official distributors.
- How do I choose the right electric bike for me?
- Pick a bike based on how you plan to ride. City bikes are great for commuting, folding bikes work well if you need compact storage, mountain bikes handle hills and mixed terrain, and cargo bikes are ideal for carrying shopping or loads. If you are not sure, our Bike Quiz can help.
- Are the batteries original and certified?
- Yes. Every electric bike battery is brand new and original from the manufacturer, with full safety certification and performance testing.
- Are the bikes tested before shipping?
- Yes. Each e-bike goes through a quality check before dispatch, covering electronics, brakes, motor response, and battery performance.
- Do electric bikes come with a warranty?
- Yes. All electric bikes from BikTron include a manufacturer warranty. Duration depends on the brand and model. Most bikes include a 12-month warranty as standard.
- How long does delivery take?
- Standard UK delivery usually takes 2 to 7 business days. Remote areas may take a little longer. You will receive a tracking link by email once your order is dispatched.
- Which payment methods do you accept?
- We accept Visa, Mastercard, PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Klarna buy-now-pay-later. All payments are processed securely.
- Can I return my electric bike?
- Yes. You can ride the bike and still return it. Tell us within 30 days of delivery and we book the courier and collect it from your door. Contact us first and we will guide you through the process.
- Do the bikes need assembly?
- Most electric bikes arrive 85 to 90 per cent pre-assembled. You will usually need to attach the handlebars, pedals, and adjust the seat. A basic tool set is often included.
- Are BikTron electric bikes legal to ride in the UK?
- Yes. All bikes sold by BikTron that meet UK EAPC rules (250W motor, max 15.5 mph assisted speed, pedal-assisted only) are fully road-legal. You do not need a licence, tax, or insurance to ride them on public roads. Riders must be at least 14 years old.
- What about the electric scooters?
- Those are different, and the law treats them differently. A privately owned e-scooter cannot legally be ridden on a public road, pavement or cycle lane in the UK, whoever sold it. We sell ours for private land use only, with the landowner's permission, and every scooter product page says so. If you want something you can ride to work, choose an electric bike.
