Mirider is a British folding e bike brand based in Wigan that built its reputation on doing one thing properly. The Mirider One is a compact magnesium alloy folding electric bike that weighs under 17kg, folds in about 15 seconds, and will carry a rider up to 100 miles on a charge. It is made for a specific buyer and executed with unusual focus.
Most folding e bikes compromise somewhere. They are either heavy, slow to fold, short on range or built to a price that falls apart after two winters. The Mirider One picks a different set of priorities. The magnesium frame is corrosion resistant and light. The 16 inch wheels make it genuinely compact when folded, small enough for train luggage racks and pub back rooms. The 250W rear hub motor feels sensible in British urban traffic rather than alarming. And the Samsung battery cell pack under the frame is sized to handle real commuter distances.
There are now several models. The original One. The One GB3 with a Sturmey Archer 3 speed internal hub for hilly routes. The Bond and the Fold for buyers who want slightly different geometry or features. Pricing starts around £1,995 and runs to about £2,800. On the used market Mirider holds value unusually well for a folding e bike because the design is still competitive, the Wigan based support team is actually reachable, and replacement parts are sensible to source. It is not quite a Brompton in prestige, but for pure electric folding it is one of the better UK choices.
MiRider bikes currently start from £0 across the marketplace.
The stated range is up to 100 miles on a single charge but real world use depends heavily on rider weight, terrain, wind and how much motor assistance you use. Expect 40 to 60 miles in typical urban commuting. Replacement batteries are available direct from Mirider and are something to factor into long term running costs on used bikes.
MiRider bikes are best for uk commuters who need a genuinely compact folding e bike for multi mode travel.
When buying any used MiRider, start with the basics. Check the frame for cracks, dents, or damage, especially around the head tube, bottom bracket, and dropout areas. Look at the drivetrain for wear and make sure the gears shift cleanly through the full range.
Ask the seller for service history and proof of ownership. Every MiRider listed on Cyclesite is automatically checked against UK stolen bike databases, but it is always worth checking the frame number yourself too.
Typical MiRider pricing on the used market sits in the £1,995 to £2,800 bracket. Anything notably outside that range is worth a closer look.
Mirider was founded in Wigan, Lancashire by engineers who wanted to solve specific problems with folding e bikes rather than build yet another generic product. The Mirider One launched in 2019 and quickly built a following among UK commuters for its combination of light weight, compact fold and real world range. The brand has expanded the lineup while keeping the core focus on British designed folding electric bikes.
For its intended job it is very good. Light for a folding e bike at under 17kg, fast to fold, and genuine real world range of 40 to 60 miles depending on rider weight and route. The magnesium frame resists UK weather better than painted steel or unsealed aluminium. Not cheap, but the build quality justifies the price if you actually need a folder.
Brompton folds smaller and has a cult following with deeper aftermarket parts support. Mirider is lighter, has longer real world range, and is about £1,000 cheaper at list price. For pure commuting in and out of trains and offices, the Brompton still edges it on fold size. For hillier routes or longer distances, the Mirider is often the better pick.
Yes, Mirider is British designed, British owned and British supported, with the company based in Wigan. Like most modern bike brands the frames and components come from Asian suppliers, but design, spec, assembly quality control and aftercare all happen in the UK. That matters for warranty and parts more than the factory address.
