What's the lightest bike available I really want one with a throttle if possible. I tried the Fiido D1 but I'm not well and it would be too heavy for me to take on the train.

IS this the lightest conversion kit available it looks like it


and the motor is up to 85% effecient apparently.

getting back to your original question, I suppose the lightest bike would be to fit a kit to a Hummingbird.

I use my 21kg+ KTM eRace on local off peak trains - weight isn't a problem as train doors are only a few inches higher than the platform. Just need to lift front wheel up first followed by rear and push it on.

Only time the bike's weight becomes a problem was returning via certain stations i.e Weeley where the bike needs to carried up & across a footbridge to get to the right platform.

Goodness know how disabled folk are able to use unmanned Weeley Station for Colchester / London bound journeys as they blocked of easy ready access to that side's platform

the ad says wireless kit and didn't mention the motor cable.
It's probably the indiego link I posted earlier this morning, the motor is wired but the other components are BT.

the OP would like a throttle which is not impossible but very difficult to do wirelessly.
