JOBOBIKE Sam - Blue

JOBOBIKE Sam Blue at GOfatbike

In blue, the JOBOBIKE Sam gets a fresh, eye-catching look while remaining the same lightweight, foldable electric city bike with a low step-through frame. You can easily step through it, sit upright, and thanks to the folding feature, you can take it with you or store it compactly. Perfect for short to medium rides in and around the city. Below, we go through the folding mechanism, battery, motor, and brakes of this blue Sam so you know if it suits you.

Folding and carrying

The blue Sam is foldable and relatively light, which you’ll notice as soon as you pick it up or put it away. You fold it up for the car, the hallway, or a tight storage space, and the low step-through frame makes getting on and off easy. This is especially nice for those who aren’t as agile. Because of the battery and motor, an e-bike is heavier than a regular city bike, but in its class, the Sam is one of the more manageable bikes to carry or store compactly.

Range and battery

The 36V 13Ah lithium-ion battery, together with you, determines how far you can go. Your weight, the wind, your own effort, and the selected mode all play a role, so think of the range as an estimate rather than a fixed number. Pedaling gently on a lower setting gives the most range; riding full throttle drains the battery faster. For short city trips and daily rides, this is usually more than enough. Keep the range in mind as an estimate and recharge in time, so you never run out.

Motor, speed, and regulations

The 250W rear wheel motor helps you get going smoothly up to the assisted 25 km/h, after which you pedal on your own without a throttle. This keeps the blue Sam an ordinary electric bike: no license, registration, or helmet required. Leave the motor as it is; making it faster takes the bike out of its category, stresses brakes and frame, and voids your warranty. For city use, this motor is just right.

Tires, brakes, and riding feel

A Zoom front suspension partially absorbs vibrations, and a wide saddle ensures a comfortable seat. With the Shimano seven-speed gears, you can easily shift against the wind or over a small bridge. The Tektro disc brakes brake evenly, even when wet, and the updated headlight provides visibility in the dark. The compact setup steers a bit more directly than a large bike, which feels light and smooth after a short adjustment.

Who is this folding bike for

This blue Sam suits those who want easy mounting, take short to medium rides, and sometimes want to take the bike along or store it compactly. The low frame and light weight make it popular with seniors and anyone who doesn’t want to step high over a frame; it’s suitable from about 155 cm and supports up to 120 kg. If you’re looking for a large bike for long, fast rides, the Sam is less suitable and you’d better look elsewhere. If you want convenience, a low step-through, and a handy size, this is a good choice.
