EG is an electric bicycle brand that balances price against power and features. Some of the hardware they choose is at the basic or entry-level end of the spectrum, and I found that the stem on this particular bike felt a little loose, but the bikes are more affordable and work fine for recreational riding. […]

IZIP E3 Dash Review
The E3 Dash has long been one of my favorite IZIP electric bike models. It looks great, is value priced, offers great urban accessories (fenders, integrated lights, and a rear rack in this case) and comes in several sizes for improved fit. While the 2017 version does not come in multiple colors, I feel like […]
Specialized Turbo Vado 6.0 Review
Specialized has introduced four new urban electric bikes and the Vado 6.0 is their top-of-the-line offering. Compared with the original Specialized Turbo models, developed in 2010 and dating back to 2012 in the US, the Vado is more balanced and efficient. It relies on a mid-motor from Brose vs. a gearless hub from Go SwissDrive […]
Easy Motion ATOM Lynx 4.8 27.5 Pro Review
Electric bicycle technology is becoming smaller, lighter weight, and smarter. Electric mountain bikes are often on the forefront of new technology because they need to be powerful but also blend in… Nobody wants a loud motor disturbing the natural setting of a trail and most eMountain bike riders that I know, shy away from causing […]
2017 VoltBike Enduro Review
VoltBike is an online-only electric bike company based out of Burnaby Canada. They recently expanded to a shipping depot in Northern Washington to serve both markets more effectively, and to me, that’s a sign that the business is going well. I’ve reviewed a handful of their products over the years and the speed and quality […]
Riese & Müller Roadster Touring HS Review
If you like the style of city bikes, single speeds and fixies, but want an electric bike and are excited about the Class 3 speed pedelec (which can reach ~28 mph assisted vs. just 20 mph) then the Riese & Müller Roadster Touring HS would be an excellent option. While to does compromise on style […]
2017 Raleigh Retroglide iE Review
The Regroglide iE is one of my favorite electric bicycles from Raleigh. It strikes a perfect balance of quality, comfort, and value. In a world with so many hub motor powered cruisers, Raleigh has introduced a mid-drive concept that feels more balanced, offers better climbing ability and keeps the drivetrain clean and simple. You even […]
Juiced Bikes OceanCurrent Review
Juiced Bikes, which used to be called Juiced Riders, is an electric bike company with humble origins and a wicked smart founder. Tora, who helped me with this review, is a former Olympic athlete, multi-language speaking, mechanical engineer, businessman who bounces between Asia and the US to create products like the OceanCurrent we see here. […]
Superpedestrian Copenhagen Wheel Review
It has taken some time to get here, but Superpedestrian appears to be rolling ahead at full speed with their latest iteration of the all-in-one smart electric bike wheel called the Copenhagen Wheel! Dating back to 2011, this concept has been internationally praised and excitedly backed by individuals who put down deposits through crowd-funding websites […]
Trek Powerfly 8 FS Plus Review
The Trek Powerfly 8 FS is a full suspension trail ebike with 130 mm RockShox air suspension. What really sets it apart from others in the space right now is the straight downtube (offering a higher stiffness to weight ratio) and adjustable seat stays with Mino Link plates that can be flipped for a slack […]
