Unbiased, In-Depth Analysis of the Best Electric Bikes
These electric bikes will generally have swept back handlebars, a large plush saddle, a relaxed upright geometry, and larger tires for stability and comfort. They typically have a classic look with curvy frames and thicker tubing.
Moustache is a new brand to me, this was the first product I was able to test ride from them but I came away impressed. Apparently the brand has been successful in Europe for several years and 2017 is the first year that they will be selling in the US. It’s a French company with […]
Biria produces some beautiful, mostly city oriented, bicycles with classic styling and fun colors. One of the most unique frames I’ve seen from them is the Easy Boarding deep step-thru. It’s pretty clear just looking at this bike that it’s easy to board… very comfortable to mount, stand over and control at stop signs or […]
The Surface 604 Colt is a feature rich electric bike that would perform well as a neighborhood cruiser due to it’s comfortable geometry and ergonomic upgrades (gel saddle, curved handle bar and adjustable stem) or shine as a commuter platform because it has fenders, a chain cover, integrated lights and a sturdy rear rack with […]
The Watseka XP comes in two variants that are very similar to each other… the Sport and Cargo. For this review I bought the Cargo Electric Bicycle because it came with a front basket but otherwise seemed to match the Sport exactly while only costing $3 more. Note that you can always buy the basket […]
I purchased this bike on Amazon because the company that makes it, Vilano, had a few different models there and to me they looked good and offered value for the price (Lithium batteries and nice accessories for under $1k). Rather than going directly through the company, I felt like Amazon would help me with any […]
The Evo City Wave is one of Easy Motion’s most popular electric bikes because it’s very approachable (thanks to a low-step frame design), feature rich (fenders, lights, carry rack), comfortable (suspension fork, gel saddle, ergonomic grips and adjustable stem) and reasonably affordable at $3,099… It’s $100 more than the 2015 model in part because the […]
The 2016 Blix Komfort+ builds on the beautiful design aesthetic of the 2015 model while keeping the price constant at $1990 now offering paint-matched plastic fenders, integrated LED lights and a bright sturdy carry rack standard! There are two frame sizes to choose from and each has includes a different wheel diameter to further raise […]
The N-Class is Ariel Rider’s top of the line offering with the most integrated aesthetic and a special option to customize the top tube battery box. I struggled to grasp what the bike would be like before seeing it in person, the top part is all plastic (aside from the surrounding tubing), is dyed completely […]
The W-Class electric bike models from Ariel Rider are my personal favorite because they strike a balance between cost and aesthetic. First… let’s talk about the limitations, these aren’t cargo bikes and they don’t have racks or mounting options (not even bottle cage bosses) but that doesn’t matter as much when you’re cruising around the […]
The 2016 IZIP E3 Zuma retains all of the things I loved about prior iterations and improves the display panel by making it smaller and tougher but still easy to reach and read. Instead of using a plastic box with LED dots strewn across, the new display ring has rubberized buttons (that are backlit) and […]
