Full Size Folding e-Bikes?

Are there any full-size folding e-Bikes on the market. besides those made by Montague? Are any class III?
If this is what I'm seeking, will I need to convert an "analog" bike?

There aren't many full-size folding bikes on the market, period. It makes more sense to have smaller wheels and a smaller frame on a folder: it can better do its job that way. Try a Brompton, they're about the best folding bike made if compact fold and ease of transport while folded are your priorities.

There's no shortage of full sized folding bikes nowadays. This is only 3 of the many available.

How reliable/well-built are the Jupiter bikes?

Seem to be pretty solid, but I honestly haven't seen any reviews yet. Their other, smaller wheeled bikes have favorable reviews though. I'm partial to the Jupiter Bike Summit myself, even though the Atlis is probably the better commuter.

If you are the customer in our area who owns one not at all and they are crap about sending parts but that is not uncommon with thees random bikes. He loves the bike though when it works which is for a month or so
