Unbiased, In-Depth Analysis of the Best Electric Bikes
Most folding e-bikes are a unique combination of portable because they fold, but also surprisingly heavy due to budget-level components and suspension. The XP Lite 3 takes a lighter-weight approach. A lighter frame, no front or rear suspension fork, and a smaller motor add up to around 20 lbs of weight savings compared to Lectric’s […]
Review Overview The Pedal Electric All Wheel Drive [S] is a moto-style e-bike with a 1,000W hub motor in each wheel. It ships as a Class 2 bike with throttle assist to 20 mph, can be set to Class 3, and can be unlocked to a Sport Mode that runs up to 36 mph once […]
Lectric built the XPress Lite for people who want a city bike they can easily maneuver and pick up. At just over 53 lbs, it sits firmly as a light-to-mid weight e-bike and is a nice addition to the current Lectric lineup. The bike isn’t flashy out of the box. Components are fairly straight forward […]
Segway calls the Muxi a beach cruiser with the stability of a Dutch cargo bike, which is an interesting combination – but one that I absolutely love! Technically, the Muxi is a short-tail utility bike priced at $1,699.99 and has a ton of tech built into it – which is what I was expecting going […]
The GoTrax F3 is not trying to reinvent the folding e-bike, and I mean that as a compliment. Fat tires, front suspension, hydraulic disc brakes, and a big battery, at a price that leaves money in your wallet. The question I had going in was whether GoTrax cut corners on build quality, ride comfort, or […]
Segway did not come up through the bicycle industry. They’re known for electric scooters and those self-balancing mobility ‘vehicles’ I first saw about 20 years ago, so when they sent us the Myon, I wanted to peel back all the technology and find out whether there’s still a bicycle underneath it. Short answer: yes, and […]
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 […]
