82 owner reviews, more 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 F12 uses an alloy steel frame with 14-inch alloy steel wheels, dual suspension, and disc brakes. It operates in throttle mode, pedal-assist mode, or pure pedal mode, giving riders three levels of motor involvement. The 3-speed setup keeps shifting simple, though it limits gear range compared to 6 or 7-speed alternatives.
The 300 lb max rider weight is a notable spec for a compact, budget-oriented e-bike. Dual suspension absorbs some of the harshness that 14-inch wheels produce on rough pavement. Disc brakes add stopping reliability over rim brakes, especially when the battery adds weight to the overall package.
With 1,200 units sold last month, this is the best-selling product in this list by a significant margin. But the 3.8 rating from 82 reviews is the lowest of any product here, indicating a meaningful minority of buyers were disappointed. Common reasons for lower ratings on small-wheel budget e-bikes include assembly difficulty, component quality, and expectations around range or speed.

What buyers say
With 82 reviews and a 3.8 average, buyer feedback is mixed. The high sales volume of 1,200 per month suggests the low price drives purchases, but the rating indicates a portion of buyers were not satisfied. Prospective buyers should read recent reviews carefully to identify the specific issues before purchasing.

Frequently asked questions
Why does the Azhar F12 have a 3.8 rating despite high sales?
High sales volume and rating quality are separate things. A low price attracts buyers who might not have done detailed research, and some of those buyers find the product falls short of their expectations around build quality, range, or ease of use. A 3.8 from 82 reviews means roughly one in four or five reviewers was unsatisfied, which is worth reading into before buying.
How far can the Azhar F12 travel on a single charge?
Azhar does not publish a specific range figure in the listed specs. For a compact folding e-bike with 14-inch wheels and a budget battery, realistic range on assist mode is typically 15 to 30 miles, but this varies heavily by rider weight, terrain, and how much you pedal versus use throttle. Check current Azhar product documentation for the rated range.
Is the F12 a good choice for apartment storage?
The 14-inch wheel size folds to a very compact footprint, which suits apartments or small living spaces better than full-size or 20-inch-wheel folders. The electric components add weight and make it heavier to carry up stairs than a non-electric folder. If storage space is the priority, the small fold is a genuine advantage.
