Unbiased, In-Depth Analysis of the Best Electric Bikes
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.

Retrospec has built a real identity for itself in the ebike space, and it is not by trying to out-spec the competition. Their lane is great looking, affordable bikes with a focus on comfort and style, and nobody does that better in the electric beach cruiser category.

But, bikes isn’t all they deal in, Retrospec has a mantra “ Making Nature, Second Nature” showing […]
Aventon dropped the Level 3 just about a year ago and it landed well. Good torque sensor, solid security tech, reasonable range, it checked most of the boxes for a commuter under two grand. But anyone who rode it regularly knew the hub motor was the one thing holding it back from being a truly […]
