The Oahu 500 EX is a high-step cruiser style electric bike that offers a slightly larger frame size (with longer reach) than the step-thru EG Maui 500 EX. Aside from color options (black and white for the Oahu vs. blue and white for the Maui) the bikes are largely the same and offer a “his […]

2015 EG Maui 500 EX Review
The Maui 500 EX is a low-step cruiser style electric bike that expands on the original EG Maui by adding power and speed (40% more speed in fact). It’s better balanced and stiffer because the battery is mounted to the downtube instead of a rear rack and while it does cost $500 more than the […]
SSR Motorsports Trail Viper Review
The Trail Viper is a folding fat-tire electric bike that combines portability with fun. It’s a “go anywhere” platform that benefits from smaller diameter wheels in two ways… they’re smaller and thus easier to store but also offer a mechanical advantage to the motor and your legs when pedaling. The custom 17″ frame feels surprisingly […]
SSR Motorsports 500W Sand Viper Review
The Sand Viper is an electric fat bike from SSR Motorsports (known for designing gas powered scooters and motorcycles) that’s feature rich and value priced. The first iteration of this model offered a modest 350 watt motor that was decent for paved rides and hard packed trails but somewhat limited on actual sand… It just […]

SONDORS Ebike Review
The Sonders Ebike (formerly the Storm Electric Bike) is an ultra-affordable fat tire ebike that was launched through Indiegogo in February of 2015. The name change was a result of conflict with ProdecoTech which offers two Storm electric bike models of their own including the Storm 500. The Sondors, still named for it’s creator “Storm […]
OHM Sport XS750 15 Review
The OHM Sport XS750 15 is a hard core urban style electric bike with the potential to work well as a touring or trekking platform. I think of it more as an urban platform than a road or city bike because it’s got a burly front shock and large balloon tires… almost like OHM took […]
e-RAD 750 Watt Mid Drive Conversion Kit Review
One goal of electric bike kits is to extend the use and feature set of existing hardware… maybe you already own a bicycle that’s aesthetic appealing or comfortable to ride, maybe you’re hoping to “reuse” existing hardware in an effort to save money or maybe there simply isn’t a purpose built electric bike in existence […]
e-RAD 500 Watt Mid Drive Conversion Kit Review
[UPDATE] I was told by Chris Head from e-RAD that they no longer sell the 500 watt mid-drive, they are focused on the 350, 750 and 1,000 watt models which I have reviewed here. e-Rad is a line of kits and electric bike conversions created by Lectric Cycles out of Tempe Arizona. These mid-drive kits […]
e-RAD 350 Watt Mid Drive Conversion Kit Review
Lectric Cycles is an electric bike manufacturer based in Tempe Arizona that makes a line of kits and pre-made ebikes called e-RAD. These mid-drive kits can be adapted to fit just about any bike frame (road, city, cargo or fat) which is pretty unique. What at first resembles the Bafang 8Fun BBS01 or BBS02 kit […]
