The invention relates to a box-type foldable electric bicycle, which consists of a handlebar assembly, a front wheel assembly, a rear wheel assembly, a frame assembly, a power drive mechanism, a seat assembling and a conventional traffic indicating lamp assembly, wherein a handlebar folder, a straight pipe folder and a front fork folder are arranged on the handlebar assembly; a rear fork folder is arranged on the rear wheel assembly, the frame assembly comprises a frame, a frame inner liner, a frame outer cover and a folding and locking mechanism; and the conventional traffic indicating lamp assembly comprises a headlamp, steering lamps and a brake lamp. When the box-type foldable electric bicycle is in a folded state, a left handlebar and a right handlebar are folded obliquely and lean against a straight handlebar pipe; the straight handlebar pipe is obliquely folded towards a front fork, is limited by the folding and locking mechanism together with the front wheel assembly and the rear wheel assembly which are folded and pull each other, and is collected in the cavity of the frame inner liner; and the external side of the frame is covered by the frame outer cover. The assembliesare reasonably foldable. Since the front wheel assembly and the rear wheel assembly are crosswise arranged in the folded state, the box-type foldable electric bicycle has the characteristics of scientific structure, reasonable layout, convenience and rapidness in folding and unfolding, regular shape, attractive appearance, smooth surface, small volume, convenience in storage, carrying and use andvery high practicability.
