The Excursion 2.0 is a folding electric bike from Energie Cycles, a division of Renewable Power Energy that’s based in Las Vegas and is known for producing higher quality batteries in Asia (used in hybrid busses, street sweepers and other large electric systems). Ironically, the batteries in this little electric bike are from another supplier […]

Cutler Cycles Fusion Electric Bike Review
The Fusion Electric Bike blends entry-level components with affordable off-the-shelf batteries and a powerful direct-drive hub motor to deliver speed and range beyond that of most other ebikes I’ve tested in this sub $1,000 price range. It easily tops 30 mph in off-road performance mode and can travel in excess of 30 miles per charge […]
Benelli Classica Review
The Benelli Classica is a beautiful, well put together electric bike that would be perfect for neighborhood or city cruising. It offers four levels of pedal assist, a trigger throttle mode, eight gears to choose from and a bunch of extras like fenders, lights and a carry rack all at a pretty good price. I […]
iGo Metro E Review
The Metro E or “Ergofit” finds a sweet balance of utility, affordability and fit for a wide range of riders. It’s a unisex frame available in handsome metallic gray with silver accents. The shorter than average 16.5″ seat tube allows the saddle to be mounted much lower and the stem is also highly adjustable so […]
Go-Ped GoBike Power Rack Kit Review
The GoBike Power Rack Kit is essentially a beam rack for hardtail bicycles that’s capable of hauling cargo on top with elastic straps but also features an integrated battery and direct drive motor designed to deliver power and convert a pedal power bike into an ebike. The unit weighs about 15 pounds and is easy […]
Rubbee Drive 2.0 Review
The Rubbee is an affordable electric drive system designed to clamp onto the back of nearly any regular “human powered” bicycle and convert it into an efficient “pedal assisted” ebike that will climb easier and go further. I love the aesthetics on this thing, a lot of attention was paid to the paint job, routed […]
BMEBIKES BM-Apollos Review
The BM-Apollos is a full suspension electric bike that’s well suited to trail and mountain riding with 120 mm of travel in the front and 190 mm in the rear. You get nimble 26″ wheels, responsive hydraulic disc brakes and a battery pack that keeps weight low and central on the frame. As with all […]
Focus Aventura Impulse 2.0 Review
The Aventura Impulse 2.0 is a remarkable ebike to me because it offers so much utility and has so many great features for what I would consider a low price. Many of the other European made mid-drive electric bikes start at $4,000 and while this one is only ~$200 less, it delivers an extra large […]
Vintage Electric E-Tracker Review
The E-Tracker is a high speed capable electric bicycle modeled after the gasoline powered track racing bikes of the early 1900’s. Those motorcycles were raced on wood-planked motodromes in the US (modeled after European velodromes for bicycles) that included steep banked corners and bleachers for crowds of paying race fans. With the onset of the […]
Felt OUTFITTER Review
The Felt OUTFITTER is a cargo-oriented fat style electric bike that captivated my imagination and seems to challenge the stereotype for what an ebike should or could be. This ebike is ready for dirt trails, sand dunes or even snow fields as demonstrated in the video review. I did get stuck once as my momentum […]
