Electric Bike Review | Unbiased, In-Depth Analysis of the Best Electric Bikes

Velotric’s been carving out a solid rep for e-bikes over the past couple years that punch above their weight class, and the Nomad 2 is their latest shot at raising the bar. This fat-tire rig isn’t just a sequel—it’s a rethink, loaded with features that catch your eye without drowning you in spec sheets. They’ve […]

Aventon’s been quietly stacking wins since their early days of rough-around-the-edges e-bikes. The new Aventon Level.3, their third go at the commuter formula, marks a clear step up. This isn’t the Level 1 or 2 you can scope online—it’s a sleeker package with a new, stiffer hydroformed frame, refined geometry, Magura hydraulic brakes, and a […]

The Electric Bike Company’s Model C hits that sweet spot between laid-back beach cruiser vibes and practical everyday utility. Built in Newport Beach, CA, this e-bike stands out not only for its solid design but also because it comes fully built and ready to ride right out of the box—no assembly required. At 53 pounds, […]

Let’s get this out of the way: I never got the fat bike thing. Growing up riding in the South far from any real elevation, these oversized tire monsters seemed like toys with no real performance-driven purpose. But, now firmly planted out west and after a few months spinning the Borealis Keystone eMTB on everything […]

The lightweight e-bike segment seems to be having a moment in 2025, and it couldn’t come at a better time. With more cities and trails implementing e-bike speed restrictions, there’s a growing need for well-executed Class 1 bikes. Enter the Tenways CGO600 Pro – a 37-pound city bike that embraces these limitations while bringing some […]

The Soltera line has always represented Aventon’s take on the minimalist urban e-bike, and their latest iteration shows they’ve been paying attention to rider feedback. The 2.5 refresh brings some meaningful upgrades to the platform, most notably switching from mechanical to hydraulic disc brakes – a change that any all-weather commuter will appreciate. The geometry […]

Ride1Up has built a reputation in the e-bike market by consistently delivering solid value propositions. The California-based company has a knack for packing capable components into bikes that compete well above their price points – their recent CF Racer1 being a prime example, offering a full carbon electric gravel bike kitted with a SRAM Rival […]

The cycling world has a saying: “Steel is real.” And while that might sound like insider bike-speak, there’s a reason why the Retrospec Beaumont Rev 2 opts for this traditional frame material in an era where aluminum dominates the e-bike market. Steel frames have a reputation for their natural vibration damping and that classic ride […]

If you’re looking at the Velotric Summit 1 and thinking, “That looks like an eMTB,” you’re not entirely wrong—but you’re not quite right either. Sure, it’s got the rugged looks: beefy tires, front suspension, and a frame that says it’s ready to hit the trail. But under the hood, this bike blends adventure capability with […]

The line between e-bike and electric motorcycle keeps getting blurrier, and Ride1Up’s Revv 1 DRT is doing its part to smudge that boundary even further. At first glance, you might mistake this for a proper dirt bike – from the moto-inspired frame tubes to the top tube-mounted battery masquerading as a gas tank. Behind that […]
