Product Details
Overview
The Ridewave Miniwave Folding Ebike is a compact fat tyre electric bike designed for riders who want easier storage, practical range, and a steady everyday ride feel. It folds down for transport and storage, while still offering the comfort of 20" x 3.0" fat tyres, hydraulic disc brakes, and removable 48V battery options.
Made for commuting, local errands, caravan travel, apartment storage, and relaxed weekend rides, the Miniwave gives you a flexible e-bike setup without moving to a bulky full-size frame. Choose between a 10.4Ah battery with up to 110 km range or a 13.2Ah battery with up to 140 km range, based on pedal assist level 1 on flat road.
Who the Miniwave is for
The Miniwave is made for riders who want a compact electric bike that is easier to store, transport, and use for everyday riding. It suits commuting, local errands, apartment storage, garage storage, caravan travel, and relaxed weekend rides.
With a folding frame, 20" x 3.0" fat tyres, removable 48V battery options, hydraulic disc brakes, and a practical rear rack, the Miniwave is designed for riders who want comfort and flexibility without moving to a full-size e-bike.
Folding and storage
The Miniwave folds down to 98 cm x 52 cm x 73 cm, making it easier to store at home, at work, in a garage, in a larger car boot, or as part of a caravan travel setup.
Ride feel and tyres
The 20" x 3.0" fat tyres help the Miniwave feel more planted on everyday mixed surfaces, including streets, shared paths, gravel, grass, and uneven ground. The step-through folding frame, adjustable seat, and adjustable handlebars help riders find a more comfortable riding position.
Battery and range
The Miniwave is available with two removable 48V battery options. The 10.4Ah battery offers up to 110 km of pedal-assist range, while the 13.2Ah battery offers up to 140 km. These range figures are based on pedal assist level 1 on flat road conditions.
Actual range can vary depending on rider weight, load, terrain, tyre pressure, wind, temperature, riding style, and assist level. The removable battery design also makes charging more flexible, especially if the bike is stored away from a power point.
Motor, assist and compliance
The Miniwave uses a 250W rear hub brushless motor with 65Nm of torque for smooth everyday assistance. Assisted speed is limited to 25 km/h, and the start-up throttle supports low-speed assistance up to 6 km/h. Above 6 km/h, motor assistance is pedal assist only.
The Miniwave is EN15194 certified and NSW certified. Riders should follow local road rules, wear an approved helmet, and use the bike in accordance with applicable state and territory requirements.
Practical carrying and accessories
The Miniwave includes a rear rack with a 68 kg load rating, giving riders a practical base for compatible Ridewave accessories. Optional compatible accessories may include rear baskets, pannier bags, pet carriers, saddle and footrest accessories, and other Miniwave-specific add-ons where fitment is confirmed.
Always check accessory compatibility, rack requirements, and load limits before use.

FAQ
Have questions about the Miniwave folding ebike? Below you’ll find answers about range, battery options, folded size, rider suitability, accessories, throttle use, assembly, servicing, and everyday riding. The Miniwave is designed for riders looking for a compact, practical, and easy-to-store folding electric bike for commuting, travel, caravan trips, and everyday use in Australia.
Who is the Miniwave folding electric bike suitable for?
The Miniwave is suitable for riders looking for a compact, practical, and easy-to-store folding ebike for everyday riding, commuting, travel, caravan trips, and car boot transport. It suits riders from approximately 4'10" to 6'4" / 147–193 cm, with a maximum rider load of around 155 kg.
How much does the Miniwave weigh?
The Miniwave weighs approximately 23 kg without the battery and around 26.5–27 kg with the battery installed. The battery is removable and weighs around 3.5 kg, which can make lifting, charging, and transport easier.
What are the folded dimensions of the Miniwave?
The folded size is approximately 98 × 52 × 73 cm. Its compact folding design makes it a practical option for storage at home, transport in larger car boots, caravan travel, and flexible everyday use.
Can the Miniwave fit in a car boot?
Yes, the Miniwave can fit in many larger car boots, SUVs, wagons, vans, and caravan storage spaces. We recommend checking your vehicle’s boot opening and internal space against the folded dimensions of approximately 98 × 52 × 73 cm before purchase.
How far can the Miniwave travel on one charge?
Range depends on battery size, rider weight, terrain, wind, tyre pressure, assist level, throttle use, and riding style. As a guide, the 48V 10.4Ah battery can offer approximately 70–100 km, while the 48V 13.2Ah battery can offer approximately 85–130 km under suitable riding conditions.
How long does the Miniwave battery take to charge?
Charging usually takes approximately 3–6 hours, depending on how much charge is left in the battery. The battery is removable, so it can be charged either on or off the bike.
Does the Miniwave come with a rear rack, basket, or accessories?
The Miniwave comes with a rear rack as standard. A rear basket and front cargo rack may be available as optional add-on accessories. The rear basket uses a latch system, so it can be easily attached or removed. For the most compact fold, we generally recommend removing the rear basket before folding.
Does the Miniwave have throttle, gears, and suspension?
Yes. The Miniwave comes with a thumb throttle, Shimano Altus 8-speed gears, and an adjustable front suspension fork. It uses a current-based cadence sensor designed to provide a smoother riding feel than many basic cadence sensor systems.
Is the Miniwave road legal in Australia?
The Miniwave is built to meet EN15194 standards and is designed for Australian public road compliance when used in its compliant setting, including the 25 km/h assisted speed limit. Throttle use on public roads is limited to low-speed assistance. Riders should always follow their local state or territory regulations.
Is the Miniwave easy to assemble and service?
Yes. The Miniwave arrives approximately 95% pre-assembled, with only basic final setup required. It uses standard bicycle components such as Shimano gears and hydraulic brakes, so general servicing can usually be handled by most local bike shops. Ridewave can also provide product-specific support when needed.
