Taubik Monaco S
Taubik Monaco S — The Only Folding eBike With Dual Sensor, a Rack, and a Suspension You Can Lock
Folding eBikes are built for compromise. Smaller wheels. Shorter wheelbase. Less stable at speed. Every folder trades something for the ability to collapse into a closet. The Monaco S trades less than anything else in the category.
Dual sensor technology — switchable between cadence and torque mode from the display, plus a thumb throttle for full motor control without pedalling. A 500W Sutto motor delivering 65 Nm of torque. A 48V 15Ah Samsung battery (720 Wh, UL 2271 certified) good for up to 100 km. 20″ × 3.0″ CST Big Boat hybrid tires — wider than a commuter, narrower than a fat tire, purpose-built for the middle ground most urban riders actually live in. VIBEE 75 mm lockout suspension fork — absorb potholes when you want to, lock it out on smooth pavement when you do not. Rear cargo rack included. Comfort saddle with integrated back support. Zoom hydraulic disc brakes with 180 mm rotors. Five colours. It folds. It all folds.
Taubik is Canadian-owned. Every Monaco S is assembled and inspected by trained technicians before it ships. Sold exclusively through authorised Canadian dealers.

Watch the Monaco in Action
Why $2,299 for a Folder Makes Sense When You See What’s Inside
Most folding eBikes at $1,200–$2,000 give you one selling point and ask you to forgive the rest. A torque sensor but cadence-only. Fat tires but no suspension. A rack but mechanical brakes. The Monaco S is the first folder in the Zeus catalogue where the spec sheet reads like a full-size commuter that happens to fold:
- Dual sensor technology — cadence mode AND torque mode, switchable from the display — Commuting to work in dress shoes? Cadence mode: consistent push, no sweat calibration. Saturday ride along the waterfront? Torque mode: the motor reads your effort and amplifies it proportionally. Two fundamentally different riding experiences, toggled in seconds, on a bike that fits in your closet. The Velotric Fold 1 Plus ($1,999) also has SensorSwap. The Eunorau Meta Foldable ($1,994) has torque only. Neither has a lockout suspension fork or a rear rack. Full sensor comparison →
- Thumb throttle on top of dual sensor — Most folders at this price force a single power-delivery method: pedal-assist or pure throttle, never both. The Monaco S gives you all three modes. Pedal in cadence. Pedal in torque. Or thumb the throttle to 32 km/h with no pedalling at all. Hill starts, easing into traffic from a red light, finishing a long commute when your legs have given up — the throttle is the fallback that nothing else in the catalogue matches at this price. Legal on Standard-class eBikes in BC, Ontario, and Québec at the 32 km/h cut-off.
- VIBEE 75 mm lockout suspension fork — This is the detail that separates the Monaco S from every other folder at any price in the Zeus catalogue. Potholes, frost heaves, curb drops? Unlock the fork — 75 mm of coil travel absorbs them. Smooth bike lane, paved path, flat boardwalk? Lock it out — zero energy wasted to fork bob, every watt goes to the road. No other folding eBike in the catalogue gives you this choice. On 20″ wheels that amplify road impacts more than 26″ or 27.5″ wheels, a suspension fork with lockout is not a luxury — it is the engineering solution to the small-wheel problem.
- 20″ × 3.0″ CST Big Boat hybrid tires — The middle ground most urban riders actually need. Wider than a 1.9″ commuter tire: more cushion, more traction on wet pavement, more confidence on gravel shoulders. Narrower than a 4.0″ fat tire: less rolling resistance, less weight, more range per charge. The CST Big Boat tread pattern is designed for mixed urban surfaces — pavement, packed gravel, painted crosswalks, and the broken sidewalk edges that 20″ wheels are too small to ignore. On double-walled spoked rims for strength without the weight.
- Rear cargo rack — included, not aftermarket — A folding eBike with a rack solves the grocery problem, the pannier problem, and the “I need to carry my laptop bag somewhere that is not my back” problem. Most folders under $2,500 do not include one. The Fold 1 Plus does not. The Meta Foldable does not. The Monaco S ships with it.
- Comfort saddle with integrated back support — Not a standard bike seat. A wider saddle with a small back rest that supports your lower lumbar on longer rides. On a folding eBike’s compact geometry, where the riding position is inherently more upright and the seat bears more weight than on a stretched-out full-size frame, saddle comfort is not an afterthought — it is the difference between 10 km rides and 30 km rides.
- Five colour options — Matte Black, Electric Blue, Lava Red, Matte Sage Green, Graphite Gray. The widest colour range of any folding eBike in the Zeus catalogue. If you ride this bike to work, the store, and the waterfront every week, colour matters. Most folders come in black and maybe one other option.
- Brake-activated taillight — The taillight illuminates during deceleration — functioning as a brake light for riders behind you. Combined with the integrated headlight, the Monaco S’s lighting package is wired into the main battery. No separate batteries. No dead lights.
The $2,299 price makes sense when you count what is included that most $1,200–$2,000 folders leave out: dual sensor, lockout suspension, rear rack, comfort saddle, brake-activated taillight, five colours, Canadian dealer assembly, and a warranty backed by a local shop.
Key Features
- 500W Sutto Motor — 65 Nm Torque — The same Sutto motor platform used in the Taubik Vista 26. 65 Nm is well-matched to a 70 lb folding bike on 3.0″ tires — responsive starts from traffic lights, confident climbing on 6–8% grades, and quiet cruising at 32 km/h on flat terrain. For riders in the 140–200 lb range on urban routes, 65 Nm on 20″ wheels delivers more acceleration feel than the same torque on larger wheels — smaller wheels multiply mechanical advantage. 500W vs 750W vs 1,000W compared →
- 48V 15Ah Samsung Battery — 720 Wh, UL 2271 Certified — Samsung cells with BMS protection. 720 Wh is the largest battery on any folder in the Zeus catalogue that is not a dual-battery setup. Real-world range on 3.0″ hybrid tires: plan 70–95 km in warm conditions at PAS 2–3; 50–70 km at 0°C; 40–55 km at −10°C. The battery is removable — flip the latch, slide it out, charge it at any indoor outlet. For condo riders, this is the detail that satisfies building management: the battery charges inside your unit, not in a communal hallway. Winter riding strategy →
- Dual Sensor Technology — Cadence + Torque, Display-Switchable — Cadence mode: motor engages at a fixed output when the cranks spin. Predictable, consistent, zero learning curve. Torque mode: motor scales proportionally to your pedal force. Natural, exercise-like, responsive. Switch from the colour LCD in seconds. This is the feature that justifies the Monaco S over every folder under $2,000 in the catalogue — you get both riding experiences without buying two bikes. Full sensor guide →
- Thumb Throttle — Full Motor Control Without Pedalling — The Monaco S includes a thumb throttle on the left handlebar that delivers up to 32 km/h of motor power independent of pedalling. Useful for starts on hills, easing into traffic from a stoplight, navigating a tight turn without losing momentum, or finishing a long ride when your legs are done. The throttle is legal on Standard-class eBikes in British Columbia (32 km/h cut-off), Ontario (32 km/h cut-off), and Québec (32 km/h cut-off) — verified against current 2026 provincial regulations. Most folding eBikes at this price are pedal-assist only; the Monaco S gives you both. Pedal-assist vs throttle →
- Folding Frame + Collapsing Handlebars — Single-Latch Mechanism — The frame folds at the centre. The handlebars collapse down. No tools. The 20″ wheels and 3.0″ tires keep the folded package compact enough for a condo closet, a sedan trunk, an RV storage bay, or beside your desk at work. The folding mechanism uses a single heavy-duty latch with a safety catch — secure when locked, quick when you need to fold.
- VIBEE 75 mm Lockout Suspension Fork — VIBEE is a suspension manufacturer that supplies forks across the value and mid-range cycling market. 75 mm of coil travel — 15 mm more than the Vista 26’s Mozo fork. The lockout is the key: on smooth bike lanes, lock it out and every pedal stroke goes to the road. On broken pavement, unlock it and the fork absorbs impacts that 20″ wheels transmit more aggressively than larger wheels. This is the only folding eBike in the Zeus catalogue with lockout suspension.
- 20″ × 3.0″ CST Big Boat Hybrid Tires on Double-Walled Rims — The Big Boat tread is designed for mixed urban riding. 3.0″ width provides more cushion and wet-pavement traction than a 2.0″ commuter tire, with less rolling resistance and weight than a 4.0″ fat tire. On 20″ rims, the 3.0″ contact patch also improves low-speed stability compared to narrower tires — important on a folding frame’s shorter wheelbase.
- Shimano Altus RD-M310 7-Speed — The same Altus derailleur used on the Vista 26 and Blackburn 275T. Shimano MF-TZ500-7 cassette. Clean shifts under moderate motor load. On 20″ wheels, the gear ratios produce different effective speeds than on 26″ wheels — lower gears spin faster, higher gears cap lower. Seven speeds is well-matched to the 500W motor’s operating range on 20″ wheels.
- Zoom Hydraulic Disc Brakes — 180 mm Rotors, Dual-Piston — Self-adjusting, fade-resistant in rain, light lever pull. 180 mm rotors on a 70 lb folding eBike provide strong, controlled stopping. Motor cutoff on lever pull. On 20″ wheels where braking forces are amplified at the contact patch, hydraulic brakes are the correct engineering choice — mechanical discs on small wheels require more hand force and offer less modulation.
- Comfort Saddle with Back Support — Wider platform, integrated lumbar rest. On a folder’s upright geometry where more weight sits on the seat, this saddle reduces the fatigue that standard saddles create after 15+ km. Not a racing seat. A commuting seat designed for people who sit on the bike longer than they stand on the pedals.
- Integrated Headlight + Brake-Activated Taillight — Both wired to the main battery. The taillight activates during braking — a genuine brake light, not just a running light. On urban streets shared with cars, a brake light communicates your deceleration to drivers behind you. Combined with the headlight, the Monaco S’s lighting system covers every dark-commute scenario.
- Colour LCD Display — Speed, distance, PAS level, battery status, sensor mode switch. Clean readout. Sensor toggling (cadence/torque) is done from the display — no phone app, no Bluetooth pairing. Shows what you need, nothing you do not.

What You Should Know Before Buying (Honest Take)
- $2,299 is the most expensive folder in the Zeus catalogue. The Velotric Fold 1 Plus is $1,999. The Eunorau Meta Foldable is $1,994. The $300 premium buys you dual sensor switching, lockout suspension, a rear rack, a comfort saddle with back support, five colours, and Canadian dealer assembly. If you do not need those features, the Fold 1 Plus or Meta Foldable deliver excellent value for $300 less. If you want the most complete folder without buying a single aftermarket part, the Monaco S is where the money goes.
- 70 lbs is heavy for a folder. The Meta Foldable weighs 63 lbs. The Fold 1 Plus weighs 63–67 lbs. The Monaco S’s 70 lbs comes from the 720 Wh battery, the rear rack, the VIBEE suspension fork, and the comfort saddle. That weight buys you capability — but carrying 70 lbs up a flight of stairs is harder than carrying 63 lbs. If your condo has an elevator, the difference is marginal. If your condo has stairs, it is not.
- 20″ × 3.0″ tires — better than commuter tires in winter, but not fat tires. The 3.0″ Big Boat tread handles cleared roads, salted pavement, and light slush. It does not float on packed snow the way a 4.0″ fat tire does. For uncleared winter routes, the Taubik Escape with 20″ × 4.0″ fat tires at $2,199 is the winter folder. The Monaco S is a three-season folder that handles maintained winter roads.
- No dual battery option mentioned. The Meta Foldable ($1,994) supports dual batteries expandable to 1,440 Wh. The Monaco S’s single 720 Wh battery is the largest single battery on any folder in the catalogue — but if your range demands exceed 50 km in winter, dual battery capability matters.
- No Apple Find My or NFC lock. The Fold 1 Plus ($1,999) has Apple Find My built in. The LOTDM200-II ($1,299) has NFC locking. The Monaco S relies on traditional locking methods. If anti-theft technology is a priority, the Fold 1 Plus covers that gap. If your folder lives inside your condo, the point is moot.
- Single frame size (16.1″ / 410 mm) with a wide seat-height range. Standover is just 12.8″ (325 mm) — one of the lowest in the catalogue — and the seat post adjusts from 29.3″ to 36.6″ (750–930 mm), an unusually broad fit envelope for a folder. That covers roughly 5′0″ to 6′2″ riders comfortably. Reach distance is 18.1″ (460 mm), which is compact by full-size standards. On a folder, the cockpit reach — not seat height — is what limits taller riders. If you are above 6′2″, test the reach before committing.
- 65 Nm is moderate — not maximum. The Taubik Escape delivers 85 Nm. The RS-A02 Pro at $1,299 delivers 80 Nm. The Fold 1 Plus at $1,999 delivers 75 Nm. At 65 Nm, the Monaco S prioritises the dual sensor experience over raw torque. On 20″ wheels, 65 Nm still accelerates briskly and climbs 6–8% grades without issue for riders under 200 lbs. Above 220 lbs on steep hills, more torque helps.
The Monaco S is the most fully equipped folder in the Zeus catalogue — and the most expensive. That is not a contradiction. Every dollar buys a feature that cheaper folders leave out. The question is whether your use case needs all of them. If you want dual sensor flexibility, lockout suspension, a rack, a comfort saddle, and five colours from a Canadian brand — this is the only folder that delivers all of it. If you need one or two of those features, a $1,994–$1,999 folder covers you well.
Will It Fit You? — Geometry & Sizing
Folders live or die by fit. Most folding eBikes use shorter wheelbases, smaller wheels, and compact frames that work for a narrower height range than a full-size bike. The Monaco S is the exception: a 12.8″ (325 mm) standover — among the lowest in any catalogue at any price — combined with a seat post that adjusts from 29.3″ to 36.6″ (750–930 mm). That gives the Monaco S one of the widest fit envelopes of any folder, capable of accommodating riders from roughly 5′0″ to 6′2″ on a single frame.
Why standover height matters more than people realise. Standover is the distance from the ground to the top tube at the spot where you mount the bike. A 12.8″ standover means you can step over the frame in a skirt, in dress trousers, in a winter coat, after hip surgery, with arthritic knees, after a long day when your legs are tired. It is the single dimension that determines whether mounting the bike feels effortless or feels like a hurdle. The Monaco S clears this hurdle by a wider margin than most folding eBikes on the market.
| Ref | Dimension | Measurement | What It Tells You |
|---|---|---|---|
| A | Frame size | 16.1″ / 410 mm | Single size — fits riders 5′0″–6′2″ via seat adjustment |
| B | Head tube length | 6.3″ / 160 mm | Tall enough for an upright commuter posture |
| C | Reach distance | 18.1″ / 460 mm | Compact reach — the dimension that limits taller riders |
| D | Standover height | 12.8″ / 325 mm | Step-through accessibility — one of the lowest in the catalogue |
| E | Lowest seat height | 29.3″ / 750 mm | Bottom of seat post range — suits riders ~5′0″ |
| F | Highest seat height | 36.6″ / 930 mm | Top of seat post range — suits riders ~6′2″ |
Rider Fit by Height
- 5′0″ – 5′4″ (152–163 cm) — Excellent fit. The 12.8″ standover and 29.3″ minimum seat height are friendlier to shorter riders than nearly any folding eBike on the market. If you have struggled to find a bike that fits, start here.
- 5′5″ – 5′10″ (165–178 cm) — Sweet spot. Most riders in this range fall in the centre of the seat post adjustment, with comfortable reach and an upright commuter posture.
- 5′11″ – 6′2″ (180–188 cm) — Comfortable fit. Seat post extends to 36.6″ (930 mm), accommodating riders to roughly 6′2″. The 18.1″ reach is compact by full-size standards — expect a more upright posture than a stretched-out commuter frame.
- Over 6′2″ (above 188 cm) — Test the cockpit before committing. Folding geometry has limits — reach distance, not seat height, is what restricts taller riders. If you are above 6′2″ and the Monaco S feels cramped on a test ride, a full-size step-through like the Taubik Vista 26 may suit you better.

Who Is the Taubik Monaco S For?
- Condo dwellers who want a full-featured commuter that disappears into a closet — The Monaco S folds and the handlebars collapse. Store it beside your shoes, behind your coats, or in a hallway closet. Remove the battery, charge it at a kitchen outlet. Your building manager never sees an eBike in the hallway, the bike room, or the elevator. Toronto, Vancouver, and Montreal condos are banning full-size eBike storage — a folder with a removable battery is the only architecture-proof answer. Folding eBike guide →
- Riders who want dual sensor flexibility on a folder — Most folders force a choice: torque sensor (smooth, natural, exercise-like) or cadence sensor (consistent, easy, sweat-free). The Monaco S lets you switch between them from the display. Commuting Monday through Friday in cadence mode. Trail riding Saturday in torque mode. One bike, two experiences. Sensor guide →
- Errand runners and light cargo carriers — The rear rack handles a pannier, a grocery bag, or a delivery package. Most folders do not include a rack. Adding one aftermarket requires compatibility research, bracket installation, and $40–$80. The Monaco S ships with it. If your folder needs to carry more than what fits in a backpack, this is the one.
- Riders who value ride comfort on small wheels — The 75 mm lockout suspension fork, 3.0″ tires, and comfort saddle with back support form a comfort system that no other folder in the catalogue matches. On 20″ wheels that amplify road impacts, this trio is the difference between a jarring ride and a composed one. Riders with back sensitivity, joint considerations, or simply a low tolerance for road buzz will feel the difference immediately.
- Canadian brand loyalty at the premium folder tier — Taubik is Canadian-owned. Every bike is dealer-assembled and inspected. Manual in French and English. Support is local. Five colours. If you want to buy Canadian and you want a folder, this is the only option above $2,000 in the Zeus catalogue. Canadian eBike brands →
- RV and cottage owners — Fold the Monaco S into an RV storage bay, a boat locker, or a cottage shed. Unfold it at the campground, the marina, or the lake. The rear rack carries supplies. The 3.0″ tires handle gravel campground roads and paved cottage-town streets equally well. 720 Wh means day-long riding without range anxiety.
Who it’s NOT for:
- Budget buyers — At $2,299, the Monaco S is $300 more than the Velotric Fold 1 Plus ($1,999) and $305 more than the Eunorau Meta Foldable ($1,994). If dual sensor, lockout suspension, and the rack are not on your requirements list, the Fold 1 Plus and Meta Foldable are exceptional folders at a lower price.
- Winter riders on unploughed routes — The 3.0″ tires handle cleared winter roads but not packed snow. The Taubik Escape ($2,199) with 4.0″ fat tires is the winter folder. See our winter eBike guide.
- Weight-sensitive riders — At 70 lbs, the Monaco S is 7 lbs heavier than the Meta Foldable (63 lbs). If stair-carrying is part of your daily routine, those 7 lbs matter. If you have an elevator, they do not.
- Riders who need anti-theft technology — The Fold 1 Plus has Apple Find My. The LOTDM200-II ($1,299) has NFC locking. The Monaco S has neither. If you park outside regularly, anti-theft tech matters. If your folder lives inside, it does not.
- Maximum torque seekers — 65 Nm is adequate for urban riding under 200 lbs. The Taubik Escape delivers 85 Nm. The RS-A02 Pro at $1,299 delivers 80 Nm. Heavier riders on steep hills should consider more torque.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Monaco S have a throttle?
Yes — a thumb throttle on the left handlebar. It delivers up to 32 km/h of motor power independent of pedalling, which is the legal cut-off for Standard-class eBikes in British Columbia, Ontario, and Québec. The throttle works alongside (not instead of) the dual cadence/torque sensor — you can pedal-assist in either mode, or thumb the throttle for full motor control without pedalling. Useful for hill starts, accelerating into traffic from a stoplight, and finishing rides when your legs are tired. Most folding eBikes at this price are pedal-assist only. Pedal-assist vs throttle →
How small does the Monaco S fold?
The frame folds at the centre and the handlebars collapse down. The 20″ wheels keep the folded package compact enough for a condo closet, a sedan trunk, or an RV storage bay. No tools required — single-latch mechanism with safety catch. Fold time is under 30 seconds once you have done it twice. Folding eBike guide →
What is the real range in Canadian conditions?
The rated 100 km assumes low PAS, flat terrain, warm temperatures. Real-world on 3.0″ hybrid tires: plan 70–95 km at PAS 2–3 in summer; 50–70 km at 0°C in winter; 40–55 km at −10°C. The 720 Wh battery — the largest single battery on any folder in the catalogue — covers a 22 km round-trip commute year-round with winter margin. Store the battery indoors. Winter guide →
What is the difference between the Monaco S and the Taubik Escape?
Both are folding Taubik eBikes. The Escape ($2,199) delivers 85 Nm torque with 20″ × 4.0″ fat tires and a cadence sensor — built for maximum traction, including winter snow. The Monaco S ($2,299) delivers 65 Nm with 20″ × 3.0″ hybrid tires, dual torque/cadence sensor switching, a 75 mm lockout suspension fork, a rear cargo rack, and a comfort saddle with back support. Escape for raw torque and snow. Monaco S for ride comfort, sensor flexibility, and cargo.
Is the Monaco S good for condo living?
That is the primary use case. Fold it, store it in a closet. Remove the battery, charge at an outlet. Your building never sees an eBike in the hallway or bike room. Condos in Toronto, Vancouver, and Montreal are banning full-size eBike storage due to lithium-ion battery fire risk. A folder with a removable UL 2271–certified battery satisfies both the storage policy and the safety concern.
What does the lockout on the suspension fork do?
When unlocked, the VIBEE fork absorbs impacts — potholes, curb drops, frost heaves. When locked out, the fork is rigid. Every pedal stroke goes directly to the road with zero energy lost to fork bob. Lock it on smooth pavement. Unlock it on rough roads. No other folding eBike in the Zeus catalogue offers this.
Can I ride the Monaco S in winter?
On cleared, maintained roads and salted bike lanes — yes. The 3.0″ hybrid tires provide more traction than a 1.9″ commuter tire in cold conditions but less float than a 4.0″ fat tire on packed snow. For uncleared winter routes, the Taubik Escape with 4.0″ fat tires is the better choice. Winter eBike guide →
How do I finance the Monaco S?
Multiple options at checkout: Klarna Pay-in-4 (0% interest, 4 biweekly payments — ~$575 per payment), Shop Pay Instalments (0% interest, no credit check), or PayPlan by RBC for monthly payments over 3–60 months. At $2,299, financing breaks down to approximately $192/month over 12 months. Full financing guide: 7 ways to pay →
