UTO unveils a new folding electric bike

UTO officially launches the PRO16, a new electric bike designed for urban commuting and multimodal trips.

This model enriches UTO’s PRO range (formerly EOVOLT), inaugurated in June 2024, by offering a more compact alternative to the PRO20. Designed and assembled in France, the PRO16 targets users looking for an easy-to-transport folding electric bike suitable for daily use.

With its 16-inch wheels, optimized frame, and carbon fork, it maintains the lines and quality of the PRO20 while being lighter and more maneuverable. The PRO16 weighs 18.5 kg, which is 2 kg less than its larger counterpart, making it the most compact and lightweight model in the range. This weight reduction results from thorough design work and the choice of specific components.

Compact and Versatile

Designed for intermodality, it folds and unfolds in three seconds thanks to a patented hinge. Its format allows it to be taken on public transport, a solution that has gained relevance since folding bikes have been allowed on the Paris subway, bus, and tram since May 2025. Once folded, the PRO16 can be easily transported and even stored under a desk.

In terms of equipment, it incorporates automatic gearing, a low-maintenance belt that avoids dirt, and a BAFANG Dual Speed motor. The braking system relies on Shimano hydraulic discs, and the tires are provided by Schwalbe. The bike also features a hidden compartment for integrating an Airtag, to facilitate location if needed.

Available in three colors — Mineral Blue, Taupe, and Anthracite Gray — the PRO16 is suitable for users measuring between 1.45 m and 1.95 m. Its public price is set at €2,799.
