Lectric XP 3.0 Review – Still the Best E-Bike Under $1000?

  • MSRP: $1,305
  • MODEL YEAR: 2024

The XP 3.0 is everything we liked about the XP 2.0, but more, and better. The brakes are hydraulic disc now, motor is more powerful, the drivetrain has more high end, the fork has more travel and the rear rack is now integrated into the frame, increasing this e-bike’s carrying capacity.. The motor still produces 500W nominally, but peak wattage has climbed from 850 to 1000…...

Lectric XP Lite 2.0 E-Bike Review – Is This the Most Affordable Quality E-Bike?

  • MSRP: $947
  • MODEL YEAR: 2024

The 300W (819W peak, 28Nm of torque) brushless geared hub motor has been updated; it’s now quieter and provides a surprising amount of power, giving the XP Lite 2.0 more pep than expected.. The 375Wh battery offers reasonable, though not amazing, range. It is estimated to offer up…...

Ride1UP Portola E-Bike Review, 2024 – Is This The New Champ?

  • MSRP: $995
  • MODEL YEAR: 2023

Ride1UP has delivered incredible value with the Portola; $1000 e-bikes almost never have a collection of parts this good.. The folding frame is small enough to offer a low standover height (18.2 in.) which…...

Aventon Aventure.2 E-Bike Review, 2024

  • MSRP: $1,799
  • MODEL YEAR: 2023

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, and the Aventon Aventure has been imitated (ok, a better word is probably copied) several times the last 2-3 years. With so much competition and brands creating 26” x 4” fat tire ebikes, I was surprised at how the Aventure.2 not only still holds its own vs the competition but is still one of, if not the, best rear hub fat tire electric bikes.. If I’m going to sum this e-bike up in a word, that word is versatility.…...

Rad Power Bikes Radster Road E-Bike Review, 2024

Rad Power Bikes Radster Trail Review, 2024

  • MSRP: $1,999
  • MODEL YEAR: 2024

I’m blown away with the new Radster Trail from Rad Power Bikes. This is an exciting new model that is as versatile as it is powerful. From the frame to the motor to the wheel and tire choice, this is a terrific new model from one of the most popular makers of e-bikes.. The Radster Trail rolls on 27.5 x 3-in. tires, what they call a mid-fat. I…...

Lectric ONE Review 2024 – Is This E-Bike Even Real?

  • MSRP: $1,999
  • MODEL YEAR: 2024

This is a game-changer of an e-bike. We didn’t expect to see both a 750W hub motor and a Pinion gear box for less than $2000. This is a remarkable design that reminds us how few companies produce e-bikes as chock-full of value as Lectric. I’m not ready to call this the e-bike of the year just yet—it’s only March—but it’s going to be in the running for sure, but more importantly, this will be disruptive to the industry.. This is the sort of e-bke that has the potential to coax even more people…...

Aventon Ramblas EMTB Review, 2024

  • MSRP: $2,699
  • MODEL YEAR: 2024

Aventon has just added a new e-bike to their lineup. It’s called the Ramblas and it is an electric mountain bike. We’ve loved the off-road abilities of Aventon’s fat-tire e-bikes, like the Aventure 2, but the Ramblas marks a new chapter in Aventon’s growth as an e-bike brand. In our Aventon Ramblas review we will demonstrate just how capable this e-bike is.. Let’s begin with the basics. The Ramblas is a hard-tail eMTB built around a 6061…...
