The UTO Afternoon Pro 20 is a premium folding electric bike engineered to combine refined urban practicality with advanced design innovation. Developed through 18 months of in-house research and development, the Pro range introduces a completely redesigned folding platform featuring 39 upgrades and six patented innovations. With automatic gearing, a Gates belt drive, integrated lighting, and ultra-fast folding functionality, it delivers a smooth and intuitive riding experience for commuting, travel, and everyday adventures.
Its proprietary aluminium frame features patented auto-locking hinges that allow the bike to unfold in under five seconds, while an integrated ABUS anti-theft battery lock keeps the removable seatpost battery secure. The redesigned chassis prevents frame contact when folded to reduce scratches and improve durability, while the updated folding cockpit increases stiffness and ride quality.
The Bafang automatic dual-speed hub motor continuously selects the correct gear while riding, removing the need for manual shifting and pairing perfectly with the clean and maintenance-free Gates belt drive. Additional premium details include battery-powered automatic Litemove lights, hidden GPS tag storage, integrated SP Connect phone mounting, lightweight French-made wheels, and a clever centre kickstand that allows the folded bike to stand without the battery installed.
