2013 Electra Townie Go Review
Hill Topper Kit Review
Clean Republic (renamed Hill Topper in recent years) has been around since 2009 selling one of the most affordable, simple and light weight electric bike conversion kits on the market. I have actually owned two of these kits, fitting them onto mountain bikes and road bikes alike. This is one of the least expensive ways […]
(Prototype) Faraday Porteur Review
The Faraday Porteur is a lean vintage style city bike featuring a 350w front hub motor, frame-integrated battery system and custom machined front and rear LDE lights. Weighing in at just under 40lbs (depending on the Small, Medium or Large frame size) it’s easy to carry up stairs, efficient enough to pedal effectively in off-mode […]
EV Global Motors ebike SX Review
The ebike SX was one of the higher end EV Global Motor electric bikes designed by Lee Iacocca who is famous for engineering the Ford Mustang and Ford Pinto cars. After leaving Ford he served as President and CEO of Chrysler from 1978 and as chairman from 1979 until retirement in 1992. In 1999 he […]
2013 EVELO Aries Review
The EVELO Aries delivers range, style and flexibility at a reasonable price point. You might have to assemble it yourself and the ride style takes some getting used to with the mid-drive system but it looks cool and can take bumps. The Aries wasn’t built for speed, its motor is just 250 Watts which is […]
IZIP E3 Ultra Review

That is not the case with the Currie IZIP E3 Ultra, this bike was built for pedaling performance. The frame is solid, fast and […]
2013 EVELO Aurora Review
EVELO is an electric bike company out of Cambridge Massachusetts started by a pair of cyclist friends. In April of 2012 they set out on a cross-country ride using the Aurora model to prove the worthiness of their bikes and raise awareness for their brand. The ride was a success, the company is going strong […]
Polaris Vector Review
UPDATE! It appears that Polaris is no longer working with the manufacturer who designed and built these electric bikes, but that company is now selling their own line as PIM (Power in Motion) and you can connect with them through their official website at www.pimbicycles.com to possibly get replacement batteries, chargers, and other hardware. The […]
IZIP E3 Vibe Review
The Currie IZIP E3 Vibe is one step above the eZip Trailz and along with the increased price point, offers a great selection of mechanical and structural upgrades. It’s available for just $999 with a Sealed Lead acid battery and 6 month warranty but the most common configuration sells for $1,399 and includes a medium […]
A2B Metro Review
The A2B Metro is one of the most iconic electric bikes out there. Its unique design turns heads because unlike other electric bikes, it resembles a scooter and has full suspension. It was one of the earlier entries into the US market, arriving in September 2008, and features top of the line battery, motor and […]
