If you’re looking for the most practical ride on the Playa without breaking your budget, the Playa Eco 350W Folding eBike is the one. It’s light. It’s compact. It folds down in seconds. And it gets the job done — without the bulk, the noise, or the extra fluff.
This is the go-to for anyone who needs a no-fuss eBike that can navigate deep playa and tight camp spaces with ease. With a 350W brushless motor, the Eco handles flat roads and light-packed sand without complaint. It’s not built to haul trailers or race past art cars, but that’s not what it’s for. This bike is about mobility, flexibility, and freedom, especially when the dust starts to fly.
The 36V 8Ah battery charges in 6 to 8 hours and gives you a reliable range of 15–20 miles per charge, depending on terrain and usage. That’s enough to get you from camp to Center Camp and back multiple times before you need to plug in again.
The three-level pedal assist lets you switch between manual pedaling, assisted cruising, and electric glide — all without breaking rhythm. No apps, no menus, no learning curve. Just power when you want it, coasting when you don’t.
Weighing in at just 53 lbs, the Eco is our lightest eBike. You can lift it. You can fold it. You can stash it in a tent, a car, an RV, or a gear trailer. Its 14” x 2.5” tires are slim but stable — perfect for compact soil, hardpack, and city streets alike. This is the bike you grab when you value storage space, simplicity, and peace of mind.
Despite its size, the Eco is no toy. The frame is solid. The ride is quiet. The brakes are responsive. And the controls are exactly what they need to be: clean, easy to use, and built to survive the elements.
The Eco doesn’t come with a lot of bells or whistles — but you can add what you need. We offer accessories like baskets, phone mounts, and battery-powered lights that install in minutes. It’s modular by design.
This is a smart choice for solo travelers, camp scouts, or anyone on a budget. And if you’re organizing a theme camp or crew, we offer bulk discounts and group pricing. Email info@playaebikes.com and we’ll hook you up.
In short: the Eco is built for riders who value weight, cost, and portability over raw power. It’s not the flashiest ride, but it folds, it works, and it takes up almost no space. For a lot of Burners, that’s the holy trinity.
