3 owner reviews, fewer than most models here
The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other mountain, road, electric, cruiser, folding, hybrid and kids' bicycles we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
The Azhar G26 uses 14-inch alloy steel wheels, which are smaller than the 20-inch standard for most folding bikes. That compact size makes the folded footprint very small, which is useful for tight storage spaces or fitting in a car trunk. Full suspension, both front and rear, compensates somewhat for the small wheels on rougher surfaces.
Disc brakes are a practical choice for an e-bike, offering consistent stopping regardless of wet or dry conditions. The 3-speed setup with throttle-and-pedal-assist operation gives riders multiple modes to choose from. The 300 lb max rider weight is generous for a bike in this price and size class.
At $289.99 it is one of the lower-priced folding e-bikes available, but the 3 reviews and 5.0 rating come from a sample far too small to be meaningful. Azhar is not an established brand in the cycling market. Buyers should factor in the higher uncertainty when considering this purchase.

- Full suspension provides comfort on rough surfaces despite small 14-inch wheels
- Disc brakes offer reliable stopping in wet and dry conditions

- Only 3 reviews, all very recent, with no meaningful reliability data
- Azhar is an unknown brand with no established track record
- No published bike weight, battery capacity, or range data listed

What buyers say
Three reviews with a 5.0 average is statistically meaningless. The rating reflects early impressions from a tiny group and should not be taken as a reliable signal. Buyers should check for updated review counts and any emerging patterns before purchasing.

Frequently asked questions
Are 14-inch wheels too small for regular street riding?
Fourteen-inch wheels are at the very compact end of the folding bike spectrum and will feel less stable at speed and less smooth over bumps than 20-inch wheels. The full suspension on the G26 helps compensate, but riders accustomed to larger wheels will notice a difference. These wheels suit short, low-speed trips more than longer commutes on varied terrain.
What riding modes does the Azhar G26 offer?
The G26 is listed with throttle, pedal-assist, and pure pedal operation. Throttle mode lets the motor drive the bike without pedaling. Pedal-assist adds motor power proportional to your pedaling effort. Pure pedal is standard human-powered riding. Having all three modes gives riders flexibility depending on how much motor help they want.
How does the G26 compare to the Azhar F12?
Both models share the 14-inch wheel size, 3-speed setup, and 300 lb weight limit. The G26 has full suspension while the F12 has dual suspension, and the G26 is priced $10 less. The F12 has 82 reviews versus 3 for the G26, making the F12 a better-understood option. Choose the G26 only if full suspension is a priority over having more buyer feedback.
