Samebike CY20 Folding Commuter Electric Bike

Samebike CY20: a Folding Commuter E-Bike Samebike Sizes for Riders From 4′7″

The Samebike CY20 is a 20-inch folding commuter e-bike with a 350 W rear hub motor (45+ N·m), a 36 V 13 Ah battery (468 Wh) that Samebike calls seat-integrated and removable, 20 × 2.35″ tires, a Shimano 7-speed, mechanical disc brakes and a front suspension fork. Samebike Canada lists 32 km/h, 45–90 km of range, a 150 kg maximum load and a 28 kg (61.7 lb) bike that folds to 0.85 × 0.53 × 0.69 m.

It is the Samebike for shorter riders: Samebike’s chart recommends 4′7″–5′8″, the lowest range of any Samebike bike we carry. The seat figures vary by page (32–38″ on the Canadian chart, 31.89–37.80″ in its pop-up, 810–900 mm on the US chart), so below are all of them, every frame measurement, and how to check the fit with your own inseam.

Who it suits: shorter riders and commuters who need a bike that folds into a car trunk or a corner (Samebike’s words) and carries up to 150 kg. It is not light to lift: owners in Samebike’s own review summaries call it “very heavy”.

Samebike CY20 Size Chart: Rider Height, Seat Height and Every Dimension

Samebike publishes the CY20’s fit on its Canadian page as a Size & Fit chart, a Size & Fit pop-up and a Specification tab; its US page adds a millimetre chart, and its manual a specification table. We read them all on 19 October 2026, with the global, UK, German and French pages. The Canadian chart, pop-up and global page agree within rounding; the US chart and the French page print other seat heights.

Sources: Samebike Canada’s CY20 page (chart, pop-up, spec tab and FAQ) and Samebike’s CY20 user manual (PDF), read 19 October 2026. Letters match Samebike Canada’s chart; F is labelled “Tire width” but drawn across the wheel.

How to Check the Fit Before You Order

• Go by the seat range, not only the height range. Samebike’s rider-height range is guidance; whether your leg works on the bike depends on the saddle. A review of the research on saddle height found the methods “varied and not well established” and suggested setting the saddle so the knee is bent 25–30° at the bottom of the pedal stroke (Bini, Hume and Croft, Sports Medicine, 2011; the paper →).
• Measure your inseam (floor to crotch, in socks, against a wall) and send it to us with your height. Samebike’s pages put the lowest seat setting between 30″ and 32″; we will check yours against them before you order: 1-866-938-7580.
• Plan for the lift. At 28 kg, Samebike’s owner summaries say it “takes some muscle to lift onto a rack”. The seat-integrated battery comes out for charging.
• Check where it will live folded: 0.85 × 0.53 × 0.69 m on Samebike Canada’s figures.

Where Samebike’s Own Figures Differ

Samebike sells the CY20 on six of its storefronts. These figures differ between them; we print each with where it appears. Call us and we will confirm the one that matters to you against the unit we ship.

Samebike’s French and US pages also print a lettered size chart for the CY20 in text, with different letters and several measurements the Canadian chart does not give (handlebar height, chain stay, standover, reach, head tube). We print it whole, as Samebike lists it.

Key Features

• Folds for a car trunk or a corner — Samebike: “it can be stored in a car trunk or a corner”; folded size 0.85 × 0.53 × 0.69 m. Folding e-bikes in Canada →
• 350 W gear motor in the 20-inch rear wheel, 45+ N·m — five pedal-assist levels and a detachable throttle (Samebike UK); Samebike’s manual rates it for a 20° climb.
• 468 Wh seat-integrated battery — Samebike: “a 468Wh seat-integrated portable battery, which can be effortlessly removed for home charging”; up to 90 km in pedal-assist level 1 for a 75 kg rider on a flat road. Battery care in Canada →
• Front fork and seat suspension — Samebike calls it “Double Shock Suspension”.
• 20 × 2.35″ tires with reflective strips — Samebike says the thickened, widened tires “are more resistant to punctures”.
• Lights, display and charging — front and rear LED lights, a colour display for speed, battery and distance, a phone holder, USB ports, and an electric horn (manual).
• Shimano 7-speed and mechanical disc brakes, on a high-carbon steel frame with an adjustable handlebar.
• An extended rear seat cushion — Samebike: “Lengthened and thickened for greater comfort”. Samebike lists no passenger rating; the 150 kg maximum load counts everyone and everything on the bike.

The Honest Take: What to Know Before You Buy

1. The seat figures do not line up with each other. Samebike’s chart says riders from 4′7″, but the lowest seat setting it prints is 32″ on the Canadian chart (30″ on the French page, 810 mm on the US chart). Riders at the bottom of the height range should send us their inseam before ordering.
2. It is heavy for a folder. 28 kg on Samebike Canada’s page; owners in Samebike’s review summaries call it “very heavy” and “extremely heavy” to lift.
3. Water resistance is printed three ways. IP64 for the whole bike in Samebike’s FAQ, IP54 for the bike and IP64 for the motor, battery and display in its German FAQ, IP54 in its manual. Samebike’s own advice is to avoid riding in heavy rain.

If those fit how you ride (a folding commuter for a shorter rider, rated 150 kg), the CY20 has the lowest rider range of the Samebike bikes we carry.

Who Is the CY20 For?

• Shorter riders — Samebike sizes it from 4′7″. Fit-first picks for women →
• Commuters with a car, condo or RV — Samebike’s own pitch: “perfect for city riding and commuting, and can also be carried for travel”. More folding e-bikes →
• Riders who want a 150 kg rating on a 20-inch folder — higher than the 20LVXD30-II’s 120 kg.
• Older riders — 20-inch wheels and seat suspension. E-bikes for seniors →

Who it’s NOT for: anyone who must lift the bike often (28 kg; the 20LVXD30-II is 25 kg); riders over 5′8″ (the 20LVXD30-II and LOTDM200-II are sized to 6′3″); riders who want fat tires (the LOTDM200-II and RS-A02 Pro run 20 × 4″); and anyone who rides in heavy rain often, which Samebike’s own FAQ advises against.

How It Fits Against the Samebike Bikes at Zeus

Seven Samebike bikes at Zeus, sized by Samebike’s own charts. Each figure comes from Samebike Canada’s Size & Fit chart and spec tab, read 19 October 2026; where another Samebike page prints a different figure, it is shown in small type underneath. Scroll right on a phone.

Seat height is measured from the ground to the top of the saddle, at its lowest and highest settings. “Pages differ”: Samebike Canada’s M20 spec tab says the bike folds, while Samebike’s global, UK and Australian M20 pages say it does not. Folded sizes are Samebike Canada’s, converted from metres. Sources: Samebike Canada product pages, read 19 October 2026; Zeus eBikes Canada.

Warranty and Zeus Care

Your Samebike CY20 is backed by Samebike in full, on Samebike Canada’s own published terms (read 19 October 2026): the frame for 3 years, and batteries, motors and other accessories for 1 year, for the original owner, from the day the original owner receives the bike. Samebike describes the battery cover as a 1-year prorated warranty, and a frame claim covers a replacement frame only (labour to move parts across is not included). Free parts that come with the bike are not covered, and neither is a stolen bike. Samebike’s product page for this bike also prints “12 Months Warranty” (“our manufacturer’s 12 months warranty for the original owner against all manufacturing defects”); its warranty policy is the longer of the two for the frame.

Not covered, in Samebike’s words: damage from accident, abuse, misuse or abnormal use, improper storage, exposure to liquid or chemicals, ordinary wear and tear, cosmetic damage, and damage from assembly, maintenance or repair that varies from Samebike’s instructions.

Zeus handles the claim with Samebike for you, and your first month of Zeus Care is included: we diagnose the problem, file the claim and follow it up, and assembly walkthroughs by phone or video are part of it. Zeus Care plans continue that service for $119 (1 year), $229 (2 years), $339 (3 years) or $599 (5 years); Zeus Care is a service, not a warranty, and does not add coverage (prices in CAD, October 2026).

Samebike’s UK summary adds uncomfortable seats, flimsy baskets and confusing manuals.
