I recently bought a pair of these folding e-Bikes secondhand for us to use from home for short leisure rides, to take in the car to explore further afield and to take away in our motorhome if we were going somewhere where we particularly wanted to explore by bike. We have a 125cc scooter in the motorhome for normal use but occasionally it will be nice to go away with the bikes. I've spent quite bit of time cleaning up these bikes and adjusting them and they really ride very nicely for their intended purpose but I wouldn't want to ride very long distances on them, that's not what they are designed for.
Here are the unfolded bikes, saddles shown in lowest position for storage:
In order to protect the bikes I wanted to find a suitable bag or similar so that when they are in the car or the motorhome they do not get badly scratched and I spent ages trying to find something suitable. I reckoned that there may be others out there going through the same process so I thought I'd just show you how one bag does fit the bill for these particular bikes , in case this helps you if you are in a similar position.
After much deliberation I selected the ROCKBROS Bike Transport Bag with Backpack, the backpack is simply used to store the bag in when not in use but can of course be used for shopping or to transport the folded bag. I wasn't certain the bike would fit but it does and the combination of the Raleigh Stow-E-Way and the ROCKBROS Bike Transport Bag works really well.
Below is the rucksack which has the bike transport bag folded inside:

I'm very happy with this solution as a means of protecting our bikes when in transit in the car or motorhome. I wouldn't want to carry one of these bikes very far, for me the primary advantage of the fold is for easy motorised transport and storage, not easy portability. These are great for nipping to the shops!
Hope that helps!
