The Lite build of the Portola 02: same folding frame, 750W AKM hub (90 Nm), Intui-Drive dual torque and cadence sensing, 100mm lockout fork, 20 x 3 tyres and 28 mph pedal assist with a 20 mph thumb throttle, shipping as Class 2 and settable to Class 1, 2 or 3. Per the page FAQ the Lite has "a more minimalist setup without the welded rack, fenders, or integrated rear lighting": a 100 lux front light and a rechargeable seatpost rear light instead of the 02's brake light with turn signals. THIS URL SELLS TWO BIKES, EACH WITH TWO BATTERIES: Lite 10Ah $895 / 15Ah $995, Portola 02 10Ah $995 / 15Ah $1,095; this record is the Lite with the 15Ah pack. 720Wh is 48V x 15Ah, the pack voltage taken from Ride1Up's Portola 02 Battery page (ride1up.com/product/portola-02-battery/). Weight 60 lb and the 342 lb limit are from the page's sizing table for the Lite 15Ah (58 lb with 10Ah). Battery TUV certified to UL 2271, bike to ANSI/CAN/UL 2849.

Safety certification: UL 2849: most models, confirm this one. Ride1Up states: “TUV ANSI/CAN/UL 2849 & 2271 compliant, certified through TUV for most of their inventory” (source). That is the manufacturer’s own claim, not something we verified, you can check a specific model in UL’s Product iQ database. Why this matters.
