Unbiased, In-Depth Analysis of the Best Electric Bikes
These electric bikes offer pedal assist modes that are capable of reaching speeds above 20mph (32km/h). They may go as fast as 28mph (45km/h) for faster commutes and may require special licensing in European countries.
The BULLS E-Stream EVO 45 FS combines some of my favorite features of electric bikes. It allows you to travel in full suspension comfort without concern for lost efficiency because it’s electric… and has an extra-large battery pack. It allows you to travel faster, in this case much faster, with advanced pedal assist up to […]
The Magnum Peak is a faster, more powerful version of the Mi5 electric trail bike (which is still available for $1,700). The Peak offers the same great looks at a still reasonable $2,000 price point but climbs better and can reach 28 mph top speed vs. the more standard 22 mph with the Ui5. Both […]
The T3 CX Electric Trike is a conversion by Electric Bike Technologies using a Sun Seeker platform. This is their top of the line model with higher top speeds and a more performance oriented geometry. You sit low, leaned back and the tires are narrow and efficient with higher PSI. Weighing in at 66 lbs, […]
The Magnum Premium is an interesting folding electric bike… Not only is it powerful with a 500 watt geared motor and 48 volt battery configuration, it’s also sturdy and fast. Rather than spoked wheels, which tend to be stronger at the 20″ size to begin with, they chose cast Aluminum 20″ wheels setup like mag […]
The Sun Seeker Eurus Electric Trike is a professional conversion job by Electric Bike Technologies. These guys own ElectricTrike.com and E-BikeKit… they built the Liberty Trike and have a warehouse in Croydon Pennsylvania that I got to visit for several days. When we came to the Eurus model I was very impressed and felt like […]
In my experience there are two main kinds of three wheeled bicycles. The ones with a single wheel up front called a tricycle or delta trike and the ones with two wheels up front called a tadpole or tad for short. The Sun Seeker Eco Tad SX is the latter type which tends to steer […]
Before I begin this review I have just one question… shouldn’t this ebike really be called the “daily grinder” and why in the heck won’t it grind my coffee (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻ I need that stuff before I can even think about getting onto my ebike and riding nearly 30 miles per hour… Bulls why! Okay, […]
Bulls introduced several speed pedelec electric bikes for 2017 and the SIX50 E2 Street is a value priced model that was customized just for the US market. Now I said value there, not cheap… but you get a lot for your money. A very similar ebike model is available in Europe but it’s not capable […]
The Stromer ST1 X is really a stripped down ST2… it’s built around the same frame, a very similar motor and uses the exact same battery, albeit lower capacity. For a price, you can upgrade the capacity to match either the ST2 or ST2 S which might be useful for distance commuters or people who […]
Haibike has always impressed me with their diverse range of high performance electric bike styles… They are a leader in the emountain bike space but also offer touring and road models now like the Urban S RX shown here. The first XDURO Urban model I saw and reviewed was a 2015 model that could only […]
