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.
The IZIP Town Express or “Twn:exp” is designed to provide a comfortable ride to a wide range of users (tall, short, light and heavy) and hold up well despite neglect or less than perfect conditions. Essentially, it’s the IZIP fleet bike and rental offering. While many of the other IZIP ebikes could also be great […]
The IZIP E3 Path+ is the second iteration in the series. With the Plus, you get a smoother and quieter direct drive motor, improved cadence sensing technology that significantly enhances ride quality and an updated control console with cruise and four levels of assist. The original E3 Path looked similar and offered the same mechanical […]
At present, in the world of electric bikes in America, frame size and fit can feel like a second level consideration vs. motor design, battery size and control interface. There are many small companies joining the movement and it is hard for them to offer variation because it’s expensive. These companies often choose the most […]
The Kalkhoff Pro Connect S10 resembles the S27 in that it uses a Panasonic drive system with E-Performance. Includes an air suspension fork with lockout, fenders, lights, ergonomic grips and efficient 700C sized wheels.

You may be familiar with their 2012 Easy Boarding electric bicycle which offered a stronger battery, seat post shock and shorter frame that was designed to be easier to mount. The company has been focused on non-electric bikes and offers unique frame […]
The Daedalus from Emazing Bike is an efficient, light weight city style electric bike that offers a more aggressive ride but feels great to pedal. That’s important because it only offers pedal assist, no throttle mode. It comes in three flavors including the 72pd and vd (the difference is disc brake vs. v-brake) and 12pv […]
The Easy Motion Neo City is like a big brother to the Neo Street, offering larger 29″ 700C wheels vs. 26″ on the Street.
