The Falco HX 500 is a quality electric bike kit, and it costs a bit more as a result. Most ebike conversion kits use small or medium sized geared hub motors with basic control systems. By comparison, the Falco Hx series is direct drive (gearless) offering regeneration and multiple battery options along with either twist […]
Falco Hx 500 Review
Easy Motion Neo City Review
The Easy Motion Neo City is like a big brother to the Neo Street, offering larger 29″ 700C wheels vs. 26″ on the Street. These serve to elevate the frame, accommodating larger riders, and improve rolling efficiency. While the Street only comes in one size: medium, the City offers medium and large. Apart from that, […]
Kalkhoff Pro Connect X27 Review
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 […]
Kalkhoff Sahel Compact i8 Review
The Kalkhoff Sahel Compact i8 electric bike isn’t exactly a folding bike but it does offer a smaller footprint and lighter overall weight. The pedals fold up and the stem pivots to twist the handle bars in line with the frame, allowing it to squeeze into cars, RV’s, busses or trains more easily. This is […]
Kalkhoff Sahel i8 Review
The Kalkhoff Sahel i8 electric bike is a step down from the Tasman Tour C8 but offers a similar experience. While you won’t get the seat post shock, suspension fork, tool-free adjustable stem or larger 700cc wheels you do still get a gel seat and ergo grips with swept back handle bars for comfort. The […]
Kalkhoff Pro Connect C8 Review
As the video review shows, it was raining and getting dark when I spent time with this bike. As a result, this review will be based more on my observations and research. Feel free to comment below if you own or have spent time with the Pro Connect C8! All in all, this is a […]
Kalkhoff Tasman Tour C8 Premium Review
The Tasman Tour C8 Premium is one of the most refined, utilitarian electric bikes I’ve ridden! Produced by one of the largest German ebike manufacturers, Kalkhoff (and its parent company Derby Cycle Werke) this thing comes with all the bells and whistles you could ask for in a city bike from fenders, dynamo powered LED […]
Focus Jarifa Offroad Premium XT Review
The Focus Jarifa Offroad Premium XT (one heck of a name there) is like a dream bike. It’s got super high end components including Shimano Deore drive train and hydraulic disc brakes. A rugged build with 26″ wheels and Continental Race King tires. A light weight and capable RockShox Reba RL with remote lockout and […]
A2B Alva+ Review
The A2B Alva offers more of a bicycle riding experience vs. scooter feel that the older Metro (now called the Octave) does. Previously, the Alva was called the Velociti and all of these name changes with A2B electric bicycles is the result of a merger. In 2011 A2B merged with F4W and is now a […]
IZIP E3 Metro Review
The E3 Metro is part of IZIP’s line of “electric, efficient, and eco-friendly” bicycles. It’s unique in the way it functions as a porteur with a sturdy front rack that doesn’t turn as you steer the bike. It’s a capable system, officially supporting up to 35 pounds following strict EN regulations. At one point in […]
