Airwheel series

E6

Airwheel E6 is an electrically powered bike designed for people to travel in and around the city. The bike is built as a light weight machine to make it a foldable e-bike for portability and to allow it to pass through narrow urban spaces and traffic jams. The bike uses a 300W motor powered by a Li-ion battery and has a double damping system for its shocks to compensate multiple load conditions.^{[62][63][64][65][66]}

E3

Airwheel E3 is a backpack electric bike folding bike. Smaller in size, weight 12.5kg, compared to E6, E3 can be folded into a backpack to be carried along with a suitcase. E3 is powered with a car-level Li-ion battery. Like its E6 counterpart, E3 uses aluminum alloys as the frame materials. E3 is notable in the electric scooter category and is mainly designed for urban commuting through crowd and to be carried along into the building.^{[67][68][69][70][71]}

R5

R5 is the more conventional looking version of the electrically powered bicycle that allows the users to ride with either using pedals normally or by its electric assist. Although R5 is also a foldable e-bike, it has bigger wheels and proper tires that make it more of a bicycle. The bike's 235W battery can be charged via a USB port. The bike can be used on man-powered mode, electricity-assisted mode and power-assisted mode. Being an actual bike, R5 would be allowed in an actual bike lane as opposed to E6 and E3 which are essentially scooters.^{[72][73][74][75][76][74][77][78]}

S8

S8 is the Airwheel's electrically powered sitting posture, hands free, scooter - ridden in a sitting position while holding. The sitting format lets the user occupy lesser space in crowd as opposed to the e-bikes and is assisted with a self balancing technology so that the rider does not have to balance on two parallel wheels as they ride it. The scooter is based on a modular design; if any one of the two modues stop working, the other one independently works.^{[79][80][81][82][83]}

Z5

Z5 is an electrically powered, motorized, 2-wheel standing scooter with upright handle, similar to a kick scooter. It is foldable like other airwheel series and has a modular battery design interfacable with USB ports and mobile phones to either charge the scooter or charge the mobile phone from the scooter battery. Z5 is, by design, an urban commuter and a bicycle replacement.^{[84][85][86][87][88]}
