This small foldable electric bike attracted me with a lot of power and a big battery. Are the components around these electrical stats worth the money?
The Restsuko boasts a 500 watt motor and 20 amp hour battery, all for only 5,500 mxn. I was pleasantly surprised with the ebikes logo, build quality, and performance, it’s definitely worth it’s great price, and I am tempted to keep using it.
If you need a simple, affordable, fast ebike for commuting to work or running errands around La Paz, the Restsuko could be the perfect choice for you. Keep reading for more insights and see how my test rides went.

Unboxing First Impressions
This ebike comes in a tiny package, and I see the appeal of having a foldable ebike now. It’s still heavy, but manageable for such a powerful machine I could see taking on a bus or a train.
I loved the logo for some reason, the colors are beautiful and they did a nice job with it. It comes with a bunch of stuff too, like a lock, a basket, rearview mirrors, but no helmet or pump.
Assembly For Restsuko Ebike
The ebike came with a terrible instruction booklet with no visual guide, only a poorly translated written guide. There is a video guide on the Restsuko amazon page.
The front wheel came without the hub driver assembled, and the bolt, nuts and washer were loose in the box. In the video, it was put together so I had to figure out which order to put all the pieces in. Here is a photo of what I figured out:
Here is the end that goes on the brake side:
The assembly took less than one hour, and there was only a little frustration involved.
First Ride
The controls are minimal, with a small LED screen with no buttons, then buttons for lights and horn, finally a three position toggle for the speeds controlled by a handlebar grip throttle. It has pedal assist or throttle, and I hope I can figure out how to turn off pedal assist because I don’t like it.
The seat is comfy but it does feel a little rickety on my dirt callejon. The Restsuko is powerful and took me up a hill without a problem.
Also, I put some neighbor kids on the back seat and it was fairly easy to ride with them. The bike is fun and I think when I get used to it I will feel safer on it.
The Restsuko Ebike Is A Good Buy
This is a great little ebike and totally a steal at 5,500mxn. I bought it to rob the battery off it, becuase it is basically the same price to buy a stand alone ebike battery of 20 amp hours.
I might just keep the ebike too, either build another battery for it or I’m not sure now, but it is pretty cool.
