Hi all-
I just picked up a Zolly folding ebike- 36v, 350w rear hub motor, built-in charger.
I can't find much info on it. It has the same controller as the iBalance BS1, and I can only find a little more info on that than the Zolly!
It looks similar to a Swagatron Swagcycle, but the display board has no BT chipset.

Never seen it before, but what specific information are you looking for?

Specifically, is it a re-branded ebike, how much was it, where was it sold, etc. I like learning the history of things I'm zooming around on.
 
I dont' know if it's rebranded or just built similarly, but there are a number of very similar bike frames found in a google image search using your posted image as a source. The closest ones of the handful I looked at are these:

This says "Hover-1" on the side:

And as you noted in your post, the Swagcycle pro is similar as well

I would guess that if you can take a good direct side view pic and try the same type of image search it will find closer matches. I dont' know if that will help find info on your specific version, but sometimes I find things that way when other methods fail.

well, TIL that a basic design is used over and over again by cheap(ish) manufacturers, most likely from the same factory!

Maybe the Kryptonite factory, since it's looks like a U-lock with some other parts welded on.
