Ooooooh! I review quite a lot of items for Xiaomi so I hope I'm offered one of these. I can see there are some limitations with the 16" wheels but it could also be a great fun little folding bike.

Not very compact once folded

The range is about right when you divide by 2... I was just calculating a 5 Ah battery last night.

Without pedalling yes but as it is PAS only I would assume there would at least be some assist, with reasonable pedalling it would be close to correct on a flatish ride, I always allowed 80 km out of a 10 amp pack when pedalling and I only ride in hilly terrain.
This is what make range estimates so hard.
