Unbiased, In-Depth Analysis of the Best Electric Bikes
Euphree has been on my radar since their first bike. Daniel, the founder, came in with an engineering background and originally set out to build a bike specifically for women – which is not a goal many other e-bike brands had at that time. While the lineup has expanded well past that, comfort has stayed […]
Trikes ask for parts a two-wheeled e-bike never needs: a rear differential, brakes that stop three tires instead of two, parking brakes, a reverse gear, and a high payload rating for cargo. All of those pieces have to come together well for a trike to be worth owning. The Mooncool TK2 is a folding, Class […]
Troxus is a brand most people reading this have never heard of, and I’d put myself in that group until a few years ago. We originally reviewed a few Troxus bikes 2-3 years ago, and the PR rep for the brand kept telling me that ‘this Troxus brand’ was impressive and that they had serious […]
The original Portola was one of my favorite bikes and one of the best folders on the market for years. Three years is a lifetime in the e-bike world, so I came into this launch with a short list of questions. Did Ride1Up give us a real motor upgrade? Did they chase the app trend […]
Hynox is new to us. This is the first time the brand has reached out, and the Trooper X is the first bike of theirs we have put through our testing. The pitch is loud: their marketing calls it a beast with violent, unpredictable power. If you’ve followed us for very long, you won’t be […]
Pedego’s Ridge Rider 2 is the company’s SUV e-bike, and the idea is simple: one bike that commutes to the office on Tuesday and can then ride around the campground on the weekend. The motor is quiet and precise, the brakes are strong, and the bike is very comfortable. Out of the box it leans […]
A lot of e-bikes try to win you over with flashy features and gimmicky tech. That’s not the approach Pedego took with the Latch 2. Instead, they built a folding bike that’s comfortable, has a solid feel, and has good components throughout. There really wasn’t much, if anything, to complain about the bike. It folds […]
So many times an e-bike feels distinctly like an e-bike. That is not the case with the Momentum Vida E+ EX. Momentum took years of cycling experience that runs down from Giant, and built an e-bike for cyclists that, by extension, works for just about everyone. The EX adds three nice upgrades over the original […]
At $2,499, the Urtopia Carbon Atom is impressive. An upgrade from aluminum to a carbon fiber frame alone can cost upwards of $2,000. And this is not ‘cheap chinese carbon’ you hear about so frequently from YouTubers trying to build the best-specced bike for the least amount of money. This is Toray carbon fiber – […]
The Aventon Pace lineup has been one of the best-selling and highest-rated cruiser e-bike families in the United States for several years running – and with good reason. The Pace 5 REC is Aventon’s latest model, and comes with a few upgrades and key changes. After the Pace 4 took a slight step away from […]
