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

Let’s be honest, most folding e-bikes these days are absolute units. We’re talking 60, 70, even 80+ pounds of battery-powered bulk that you’re somehow supposed to “conveniently” fold up and toss in your trunk. Yeah, right. So when Jupiter Bike sent over their Defiant for testing, I was genuinely surprised to see it clock in […]

There’s something oddly satisfying about riding a bike that just works. No fiddling with derailleurs, no chain grease on your pants, no mental checklist of maintenance tasks creeping into your head mid-ride. Just you, the road, and a bike that handles the technical stuff while you focus on actually enjoying yourself. That’s the promise of […]

The AIMA Santa Monica represents something increasingly rare in the ebike world. You can’t just click “buy now” and have it shipped to your door. In an industry saturated with direct-to-consumer brands racing to undercut each other, AIMA is taking the opposite approach. They’ve partnered with over 400 local bike shops across the US and […]

PuckiPuppy has been hard at work with new e-bike releases in 2025, and now they have their latest electric trike, the PuckiPuppy Rottweiler. The specs are straightforward: 960W peak motor, 720Wh battery with a claimed 55-mile range, and hydraulic brakes. Pretty standard stuff for a mid-range trike. But there are three specific things here that […]

When Urtopia released the Carbon 1 ST, the e-bike community took notice. A genuinely lightweight carbon fiber step-through that didn’t feel like a tech experiment gone wrong. But feedback came in loud and clear from riders: the futuristic dot-matrix display felt gimmicky, the mandatory ChatGPT subscription was annoying, and the complete lack of a throttle […]

Mokwheel’s made a name for themselves in the fat tire e-bike space over the past couple years. Their Basalt and the full-suspension Obsidian both landed solid reviews from us, capable bikes packed with power, though they were built around hub motors. They proved Mokwheel knew how to engineer a fat tire e-bike that could actually […]

I’ve spent a fair amount of time with Retrospec’s e-bikes over the years, their Chatham Rev Plus cruiser and the Valen Rev Plus moped-style bike both impressed me with solid builds and smart pricing. They’ve carved out a decent reputation for casual riding and fun, affordable e-bikes that don’t pretend to be something they’re not. […]

Look, most ebikes are built to get you from A to B with decent performance and as a consumer, we can only pray nothing breaks in the first 1-2 years of a standard warranty. The EVELO Atlas takes a different approach. At $4,149, this thing is EVELO’s statement bike, designed around low-maintenance components and real-world […]

Each time I hear that Urtopia is releasing a new ebike, I immediately get curious about what to expect. You see, Urtopia as a brand isn’t afraid of taking chances, from their lightweight carbon commuters to their ChatGPT-integrated Carbon 1 that you can actually talk to mid-ride for route suggestions to locate better routes or […]

In a market absolutely flooded with 28+ mph speed demons sporting thumb throttles and enough torque to wheelie your grandmother, the Fiido Nomads takes a decidedly different approach, and honestly, I find it a little refreshing. While everyone else is chasing top speeds that’ll get you a ticket (or worse), Fiido said “hold up” and […]

Many of our readers may not think twice about who manufactures the battery packs in the e-bikes we review. Most of the attention usually goes to the cylindrical cells inside the pack—most often made by LG, Samsung, or Panasonic. But here’s what often gets overlooked: not every brand uses the same manufacturer for their battery […]
