Unbiased, In-Depth Analysis of the Best Electric Bikes
These electric bikes come standard with fenders, a rear rack or pannier hangers, and lights. They are full sized models, not folders, and built for long distance riding with higher quality components, a more active geometry, and include a suspension fork.
If you like the style of city bikes, single speeds and fixies, but want an electric bike and are excited about the Class 3 speed pedelec (which can reach ~28 mph assisted vs. just 20 mph) then the Riese & Müller Roadster Touring HS would be an excellent option. While to does compromise on style […]
If you’re looking for an electric bicycle that’s outfitted for urban commuting but tough enough to ride on packed trails occasionally, that can be optimized for high-torque to move heavy loads and climb or high-speed to get you to the office quicker, the Riese & Müller Charger Mixte models might be just the thing. It’s […]
One of my first mountain bikes was a Scott and it appealed to me due to style and use of the latest suspension technology. In recent years, the company has entered the ebike space and has an impressive line of products in Europe with a few making their way to the US in 2016. I […]
Riese & Müller is a special company… germinated in the late 80’s by a pair of mechanical engineering students in Germany studying at Darmstadt, these guys just wanted to keep their ears warm (inventing a pair of helmet-compatible ear muffs called Hot Ears). Soon after, in 1992 they developed a full suspension folding bicycle called […]
The E3 ProTour is one of the coolest looking ebikes in the entire 2016 lineup from IZIP because the battery is integrated, the circular motor hides behind the chainring and you get every sort of accessory you could ever want to make it the perfect commuting platform. From integrated LED lights that run off the […]
The XDURO Trekking line from Haibike offers a sporty but comfortable platform to commute or tour with. Both the Pro and RX models for 2015 come stock with full length fenders, a solid rear rack and integrated LED lights but the Pro offers nicer suspension, an upgraded chain, pedals and brakes. It also foregoes the […]
The XDURO Trekking RX is Haibike at its best. Originally known for producing powerful and sturdy off-road electric bikes like the AMT PRO, this bike is a pioneer in the touring and commuting category. You get nearly every accessory needed to deal with cargo transport, nighttime riding and damp weather conditions. There’s even a little […]
The Kalkhoff Pro Connect S10 resembles the S27 in that it uses a Panasonic drive system with E-Performance. Includes an air suspension fork with lockout, fenders, lights, ergonomic grips and efficient 700C sized wheels. It’s a capable city bike, urban commuter or touring bike given the rear rack design and efficient mid-drive system with pedal […]
The Kalkhoff Pro Connect S27 uses the Panasonic E-Performance mid drive system offering excellent climbing ability and great range. This Euro style electric bike comes with fenders, rear rack and lights powered off the main battery but delivers more power and speed for a US market. While it does not offer a throttle mode, the […]
The Kalkhoff Pro Connect X27 is a twenty-seven speed urban commuter bike designed for active pedaling and distance riding. I say active because the frame style is a bit more aggressive and the saddle is narrow and stiff like a road bike vs. a soft comfort cruiser. That’s not to say this model isn’t comfortable […]
