Unbiased, In-Depth Analysis of the Best Electric Bikes
This broad category of electric bikes feature efficient tires to navigate neighborhood, city, and urban environments without the noise and drag of studded tires. They may come with racks, fenders, and lights.
My understanding is that the Cityzen C8 is a carryover from 2016 that has been popular enough to extend into 2017. In the United States, many people would have missed or not even know about this model because Gazelle is just starting to enter the market and pick up dealers (aside from a select few […]
This review is getting posted a little late because we’re at the end of 2016 (and it’s a 2016 year model) but it was my first chance to see and test ride the Scott electric bikes. I visited Propel Bikes in Brooklyn New York to see it and the owner, Chris, and I rode around […]
Honestly, the first time I saw the Cannondale Mavaro Performance electric bike I didn’t feel or think a lot. It just looked like a regular bike with a nice cargo rack on the back… and that’s the beauty here, this is a mainstream electric bicycle from a company that many people in the United States […]
Bulls introduced several speed pedelec electric bikes for 2017 and the SIX50 E2 Street is a value priced model that was customized just for the US market. Now I said value there, not cheap… but you get a lot for your money. A very similar ebike model is available in Europe but it’s not capable […]
The Stromer ST1 X is really a stripped down ST2… it’s built around the same frame, a very similar motor and uses the exact same battery, albeit lower capacity. For a price, you can upgrade the capacity to match either the ST2 or ST2 S which might be useful for distance commuters or people who […]
The Lacuba Evo E8 is like an “everything electric bike” because it comes in five sizes, three different frame styles, has fenders, a rack, suspension fork, integrated lights, a large battery and an efficient mid-drive motor. I guess it’s not well suited to trails and mountain biking… but the motor used here, from Brose, is […]
I’ve been reviewing electric bikes now for several years and I got into it because my knee is a bit sensitive. I wanted to commute to work in Austin, Texas but struggled with pain towards the end of the week as I had several hills along the way. So, with a little Internet searching I […]
PUBLIC is a bicycle company that sells beautiful, classically designed bicycles mostly online. I was lucky enough to visit one of their storefronts in Santa Monica California where the M8 Electric was on display and take a test ride. I’m very familiar with the BionX ebike systems used on this bike and came away impressed […]
The eProdigy Banff is one of the most stylish electric bicycles I’ve ever reviewed… This is the second time I’ve gotten to ride it, the first time was a couple years back and the system wasn’t quite as refined or powerful as it has become. In addition to the colorful paint options, fun wicker baskets […]
The Kalkhoff Integrale S11 is a speed pedelec (capable of 28 mph top speeds, assisted) with an internally geared 11 speed hub. It runs a clean, quiet belt drive instead of a chain and comes outfitted with a sleek rear rack, plastic fenders and a bottle cage mounting point so it’s ready for commuting or […]
