Unbiased, In-Depth Analysis of the Best Electric Bikes
Electric bikes or ebikes combine human power from pedaling with electronic power from a hub motor, mid drive, or friction drive powered by a battery pack. They come in all shapes and sizes, including trikes, tandems, folding, cargo, and more. A traditional analog bicycle can usually be converted to electric through the use of kits. Ebikes fall into three classes including Class 1 pedal assist only up to a set speed (usually 25kmh or 32kmh), Class 2 throttle only or throttle with pedal assist up to a set speed (usually 25kmh or 32kmh), and high speed Class 3 up to a set level (usually 45kmh 28mph).
For this review I got some extra help from a young lady named Carla who knew how to ride a bicycle but had never tried an electric bike before. You can see here, her older sister Paula, and her father Victor in the video review above. My big takeaway from this experience was that young […]

Specialized has been steadily growing their selection of electric bikes since 2012, and the Como is their latest offering. I was told that this model was named after Lake Como in Italy, and to me that’s a fitting name because this region is known for being prestigious and beautiful. The Como electric bikes tend to […]

Tern is internationally recognized and renowned for their high-quality folding bicycles, and electric folding bikes!

Lithium Cycles is preparing to launch the Super 73 V2 soon but I finally got my hands on one of the original models which were launched on Kickstarter in mid 2016. The bike I looked at had been brought into a shop for repairs after being crashed by the owner. The left brake lever was […]
