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.
At first glance the Scorpion 27 from ProdecoTech resembles the Titanio 29er in that it uses a Keyde drive system. These ultra light weight motors and bottle shaped battery packs blend in and keep weight low and centered but on the Scorpion the motor is rear mounted vs. front mounted and it uses a torque […]
The Smart Ebike is one of a handful of new electric bike offerings from established automobile companies, in this case Mercedes Benz Smart. In the same way that Ford partnered with Pedego to create the Supercruiser, Smart chose to partner with BionX for their drive system and consulted the famous German designer Kalle Nicolai to […]
The Easy Motion Neo Prox features a folding stem, handle bars, pedals and removable seat post along with a compact frame but does not fold in half like the Neo Volt. This means it won’t get as small (for storing in closets, trunks or boats) but also means the frame is lighter, stiffer and the […]
The Vanmoof Electrified 3 is a city style electric bike that’s super simple, elegant and stealth. It’s quiet, clean and fairly efficient combining a front mounted hub motor and rear mounted internal gearing system. The batteries live inside the top tube and aren’t removable like some bikes but also aren’t obvious (and they are replaceable […]
The XDURO Trekking RX is Haibike at its best. Originally known for producing powerful and sturdy off-road electric bikes like the AMT PRO, this bike is a pioneer in the touring and commuting category. You get nearly every accessory needed to deal with cargo transport, nighttime riding and damp weather conditions. There’s even a little […]
The Riide electric bike came to life on Kickstarter in February 2014 reaching more than 100% of its funding goal. At ~$1,800 it’s designed to be affordable but still offer quality components that will last and feel good cruising around a city landscape. This ebike is stealth… meaning it blends in with regular bicycles. The […]
This is the kind of ebike that the CEO’s of electric bike companies would enjoy riding. It’s sleek, refined, quiet and classy… The Riviera delivers a minimalist feel that uses raw materials like titanium and leather for performance and endurance that’s almost timeless. I failed to mention in the video review that it acutally has […]
The EZPedaler T500 is a value priced unisex city bike that’s balanced well and feature rich. They made a trade off here putting the hub motor on the front vs. the rear but that allowed the bike to use an internally geared three speed Nexus hub which stays cleaner and can be shifted at rest. […]
The Zurich 350 IX by EG is a stiff and efficient city style electric bike with narrower tires and more traditional forward-leaning frame design that’s easy to mount on racks and convenient for commuting. The fenders, lights and rack match perfectly and even though there aren’t any shock absorbers the front fork is steel which […]
The Shima is one of A2B’s fastest electric bikes offering a 28 mile per hour top speed in pedal assist mode (which has three levels). It uses a higher end TMM4 torque sensor for smooth acceleration and comes stock with front and rear LED lights, fenders, a whole mess of reflectors and a license plate […]
