The new version of the bike is now known as the Swagtron EB7 Plus. 

Its main upgrade is a larger 6.4 Ah battery that bumps the total capacity up to 230 Wh. That’s not huge by any industry standard but still manages to eke out decent range in a small, lightweight folding e-bike. Swagtron rates the EB7 Plus for 20 miles (32 km) of range. 

The Swagtron EB7 Plus retains the same 350 W hub motor and 18.6 mph (30 km/h) top speed as the original EB7. But the EB7 gets a new Shimano 7 speed drivetrain to replace the old single-speed setup. That might add a pound or so to the bike but makes it much easier to pedal up hills and allows riders to add assist even at higher speeds. 

The EB7 Plus also gets a new, longer seat post designed to accommodate taller riders than the previous version.
