The Step-Thru Comfort Cruiser II is a second generation build of one of Pedego’s base model electric bikes introduced for 2015. It’s very affordable at just over $2k (with the smallest battery and no fenders) but you still get a lot of quality parts and an excellent warranty. The Classic Comfort Cruiser was designed with […]

Focus Aventura Impulse Speed 1.0 Review
The Focus Aventura Impulse Speed 1.0 has a long name… and a long list of premium features. Focus and Kalkhoff are both brands that are part of Derby Cycle Werke out of Germany. They are trusted, popular companies offering premium frames, components and drive systems that reached the US in 2014 at select shops. Now […]
2015 Easy Motion Evo City Review
The Evo City joins three similar “urban” models from Easy Motion 2015 lineup designed for comfort and utility. Each one relies on the same efficient drive system, beautiful downtube-integrated battery pack and clever minimal display. They’re great electric bikes with solid warranties, excellent safety features (fenders, chain guards, reflectors and lights) and nice rear carry […]
Felt VERZAe Review
The Felt VERZAe delivers comfort and utility at a reasonable price (considering it uses the high-end Bosch drive system). Compared with its sister bike, the SPORTe Step-Thru, it’s heavier and less stiff but also easier to approach and much more feature rich; delivering lights, fenders and a sturdy rear rack. Though, to be fair you […]
2015 Easy Motion Evo City Wave Review
This review is for the 2015 model Evo City Wave from Emotion, you can see the latest version on this page which costs slightly more and has a larger battery and more powerful motor. The Easy Motion Evo City Wave is a well balanced, feature-packed electric bike that delivers pedal assist and throttle on demand […]
e-Joe Koda Review
The e-Joe Koda originated from the e-Joe One prototype in 2013 and I was given a chance to test ride it in 2014. Thankfully, a lot has changed since then! Almost everything is better with this finalized design and I was really impressed with the power, feature set and relative low price point being offered. […]
Specialized Turbo Review
The Specialized Turbo is the most affordable model in the Specialized electric bicycle lineup (as of 2015 when this review was published) which also includes the Turbo X and Turbo S. With the standard Turbo you get a beautiful purpose built frame in one of four sizes, a powerful but silent gearless rear hub motor […]
Easy Motion Evo Street Review
The Evo Street is part of Easy Motion’s “Urban” lineup offering dynamo powered lights, full length fenders and a rear rack with built in bungee cords. It’s a great platform for commuting and priced at ~$3k you really get a lot of bang for your buck. I see it as an upgrade for the Evo […]
Pedego Classic Interceptor Review
For 2015, Pedego improved its Classic Interceptor model in several key ways. The LCD display panel and button pad were combined into one main interface to create a cleaner cockpit, a second frame size dubbed the “Miniceptor” with smaller 24″ wheels was added and an optional magnesium wheelset was introduced for managing heavier loads (up […]
EG Barcelona Review
The EG Barcelona offers a lot for ~$1,000 but you still basically get what you pay for. The aluminum alloy frame comes in two colors (white or brown) but just one size, which I’d call small/medium. It felt a little tight for me (I’m ~5’9″) but I loved the mid-step layout which makes mounting and […]
