The Neo Cross EN703 combines the performance of stiffer road style bikes with the comfort of a front shock. It’s made by Easy Motion which is a division of BH Bicycles, a company that has been around since 1909. The entire line of electric bikes from Easy Motion rely on the same battery, motor, controller […]

The Bodhi Sport is the larger brother of Bodhi’s Step-Through electric bike. Both models run off the same 250 watt hub motor, use NuVinci continually variable transmissions in the back instead of chain rings and derailleurs and they both cost the same amount. The big difference with the Sport is that it uses a high-step […]
The Bodhi Step-Through is a beautifully designed but fairly weak electric bike. Its bambu fenders and balanced hubs remind me of the higher end Faraday Porteur which has similar specs but is much lighter. Both of these bikes are perfect for afternoon rides in flat relaxed conditions. Where the Bodhi really shines is with its […]

It’s got three gears, an average sized motor, lights, optional fenders and even pedal assist mode vs. throttle only.

The Velociti is one of my favorite A2B electric bikes. Its elegant frame looks professional and the color options are bold without being tacky or cheap. Wires are integrated, custom fenders that hug the tires come stock and the chain is kept on track with a solid aluminum guide that doubles as a bash guard. […]
UPDATE! It appears that Polaris is no longer working with the manufacturer who designed and built these electric bikes, but that company is now selling their own line as PIM (Power in Motion) and you can connect with them through their official website at www.pimbicycles.com to possibly get replacement batteries, chargers, and other hardware. The […]

The goal was to create an ebike that could withstand the varied terrain of an urban environment, transport equipment and gear easily and last an entire day without running out […]
The Faraday Porteur is a lean vintage style city bike featuring a 350w front hub motor, frame-integrated battery system and custom machined front and rear LDE lights. Weighing in at just under 40lbs (depending on the Small, Medium or Large frame size) it’s easy to carry up stairs, efficient enough to pedal effectively in off-mode […]
