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.
The OHM Urban XU700 is a top of the line commuter style electric bike that includes everything you’ll need to deal with hills, rain and storage. It includes matching fenders, hiqh quality Wellgo pedals, a Topeak Explorer rack and dynamo powered LED lights – front and rear. I would have liked to demo the bike […]
The Biria Electric City Bike was a limited run model produced around 2013. 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. These serve to elevate the frame, accommodating larger riders, and improve rolling efficiency. While the Street only comes in one size: medium, the City offers medium and large. Apart from that, […]
The Kalkhoff Pro Connect X27 is a twenty-seven speed urban commuter bike designed for active pedaling and distance riding. I say active because the frame style is a bit more aggressive and the saddle is narrow and stiff like a road bike vs. a soft comfort cruiser. That’s not to say this model isn’t comfortable […]
The Kalkhoff Sahel Compact i8 electric bike isn’t exactly a folding bike but it does offer a smaller footprint and lighter overall weight. The pedals fold up and the stem pivots to twist the handle bars in line with the frame, allowing it to squeeze into cars, RV’s, busses or trains more easily. This is […]
The Kalkhoff Sahel i8 electric bike is a step down from the Tasman Tour C8 but offers a similar experience. While you won’t get the seat post shock, suspension fork, tool-free adjustable stem or larger 700cc wheels you do still get a gel seat and ergo grips with swept back handle bars for comfort. The […]
As the video review shows, it was raining and getting dark when I spent time with this bike. As a result, this review will be based more on my observations and research. Feel free to comment below if you own or have spent time with the Pro Connect C8! All in all, this is a […]
The Tasman Tour C8 Premium is one of the most refined, utilitarian electric bikes I’ve ridden! Produced by one of the largest German ebike manufacturers, Kalkhoff (and its parent company Derby Cycle Werke) this thing comes with all the bells and whistles you could ask for in a city bike from fenders, dynamo powered LED […]
The A2B Alva offers more of a bicycle riding experience vs. scooter feel that the older Metro (now called the Octave) does. Previously, the Alva was called the Velociti and all of these name changes with A2B electric bicycles is the result of a merger. In 2011 A2B merged with F4W and is now a […]
