The use of fuel-powered vehicles is not recommended because fossil fuels are running low, and these vehicles pose a major threat to the safety of many people. Foldable electric bicycles can be a solution to this problem. The purpose of this research is to design and build an energy-proportional electric folding bicycle according to the needs of the rider. The method of implementing this research is designing, manufacturing, assembly, function test, performance test, and evaluation stage. Based on the research that has been carried out until this progress report has been prepared, it can be concluded as follows: (1) The mechanical system and control system for electric folding bicycles can function properly according to the design; (2) The average accuracy percentage of the pedal-assist sensor is 98.25% (very good); (3) The electric folding bicycle has 6-speed grades which are set according to the needs; (4) The electric folding bicycle uses a 48V350W Planetary Gear BLDC Motor and a 48V10AH Lithium battery which can travel 80 km per full charge. © 2021 IEEE.
