The Mando Footloose is mixed bag for me, the concept of a series hybrid electric bicycle is very novel (one where you pedal to charge the battery and the system itself is all electric) but in practice it’s just not that fun. For some riders who want a consistent resistance akin to an exercise bike […]

Kalkhoff Tasman Classic Impulse 8 Review
The Kalkhoff Tasman Classic Impulse 8 has a very long name and equally lengthly list of features. This bike is awesome… and pretty. It comes in three frame sizes so you can truly dial in fit and with a range of 60 to 100+ miles (they estimate 130) it’s incredibly capable. From the integrated carry […]
EZ Pedaler T350 Review
The T350 is a mid-sized city cruiser from EZ Pedaler, a company that’s focused on building affordable and simple ebikes at a reasonable price. With its smaller 24 inch wheel size and upright seating position it’s a great fit for small and mid size riders who are looking for step-thru designs. It’s convenient to mount […]
OHM Urban XU700 LS 16 Review
The OHM Urban XU700 LS (Low Step) comes in two different flavors for 2015 including a deep cut (shown in the video and images here) as well as a tight diamond. The difference is frame stiffness, weight distribution and ease of mounting and stand over. The deep cut (which is labeled as XU700 LS 16) […]
Pedego 24″ Step-Thru Interceptor Review
Pedego has made several major improvements in its Inteceptor line for 2015, most notable, the addition of this smaller, low step frame model with 24” wheels, nicknamed the “Miniceptor,” to their family of Cruisers. This isn’t their only “petite” ebike, you can get a stripped down 24″ Step-Thru Cruiser for a bit less money but […]
Easy Motion Evo 29 Review
The Evo 29 is one of the largest trail bikes that Easy Motion offers in part due to the 19.5″ frame but also because the wheels are 29 inches in diameter. The benefits are a smoother ride over cracks, rocks or bumps and increased rolling momentum once you’ve gotten up to speed. It’s a beautifully […]
EZ Pedaler T500 Review
The EZ Pedaler T500, a unisex low-step city style e-bike, comes packed with lots of accessories making it a good value for the rider who wants a more powerful yet easy to use electric bike. It’s nicely balanced with the motor in the front and the removable battery behind the seat, the trade-off is slightly […]
Solex Solexity 400 Review
The Solexity 400 electric bike is an entry level model for Solex but delivers a lot of great accessories and sits above average in terms of motor power and battery size compared to what I usually see in this price range. It’s styled to match the iconic VéloSoleX gas powered mopeds that were designed and […]
EZ Pedaler X350 Review
The EZ Pedaler Crosstown X350 folding electric bike is sleek, compact and packed with significant upgrades over the previous model, the F-350 making this a solid choice for a variety of riding adventures. A more relaxed fork and stem angle adds to the comfortable upright position for the rider and stabilizes steering. The speed on […]
Faraday Porteur S Review
Update! The Faraday Porteur S and Cortland S moved from $2,799 to $2,499 in 2017 and the review listing price here has been updated to reflect that. When Faraday launched its original Porteur through Kickstarter in mid 2012 I was inspired by the custom design and “active” interpretation of what an ebike could be. The […]
