Rad Power Bikes RadWagon 5 E-Bike Review, 2024

  • MSRP: $2,399
  • MODEL YEAR: 2024

We love the new motor. While the output is still rated at 750W, the torque has been increased to 90Nm which will help riders get up hills and accelerate up to speed.. The 720Wh Safe Shield battery is one of the best-made, safest batteries on the market.…...

Ride1Up Roadster V3 Review 2024

  • MSRP: $1,295
  • MODEL YEAR: 2024

The Ride1Up Roadster V3 continues the legacy of the popular Roadster lineup, raising the bar on what defines value in an e-bike for 2024. With its sleek design, the addition of a peppier 500W motor with torque sensor, and smart drivetrain upgrades and options, it’s a strong argument for your money.. The Ride1Up Roadster V3 offers two drivetrain options—either a single-speed carbon belt drive for those…...

Lectric XP 3.0 Review – Still the Best E-Bike Under $1000?

  • MSRP: $1,305
  • MODEL YEAR: 2024

The XP 3.0 is everything we liked about the XP 2.0, but more, and better. The brakes are hydraulic disc now, motor is more powerful, the drivetrain has more high end, the fork has more travel and the rear rack is now integrated into the frame, increasing this e-bike’s carrying capacity.. The motor still produces 500W nominally, but peak wattage has climbed from 850 to 1000…...

Rad Power Bikes Radster Trail Review, 2024

  • MSRP: $1,999
  • MODEL YEAR: 2024

I’m blown away with the new Radster Trail from Rad Power Bikes. This is an exciting new model that is as versatile as it is powerful. From the frame to the motor to the wheel and tire choice, this is a terrific new model from one of the most popular makers of e-bikes.. The Radster Trail rolls on 27.5 x 3-in. tires, what they call a mid-fat. I…...

Lectric ONE Review 2024 – Is This E-Bike Even Real?

  • MSRP: $1,999
  • MODEL YEAR: 2024

This is a game-changer of an e-bike. We didn’t expect to see both a 750W hub motor and a Pinion gear box for less than $2000. This is a remarkable design that reminds us how few companies produce e-bikes as chock-full of value as Lectric. I’m not ready to call this the e-bike of the year just yet—it’s only March—but it’s going to be in the running for sure, but more importantly, this will be disruptive to the industry.. This is the sort of e-bke that has the potential to coax even more people…...
