The Portola is a folding ebike from Ride1Up, a San Diego-based company that specializes in value-priced electric bikes. The Portola features a low-step frame that makes it easy to get on and off, and a removable battery that can be charged on or off the bike.

The bike has an 8-speed Shimano drivetrain and hydraulic disc brakes for smooth riding and stopping. The bike also has a front suspension fork with 80 mm of travel and 20″x3.0″ tires that can handle light trails.
