Electric trikes make a lot of sense… here’s a platform that is stable and approachable (for riders with limited strength or mobility) but heavy and usually limited in terms of pedal ergonomics and gear options. Getting a little boost from an electric motor means that tricycles become more approachable and fun, hills are less daunting […]
IZIP E3 Go Review
Gazelle NL C7 HMB Review
Royal Dutch Gazelle is a practically legendary, highly trusted, bicycle company from the Netherlands dating back to 1892. They design, test and build their bikes with passion and attention to detail. There’s a lot of fun history that I’m learning about the company with each of these visits to shops and their US headquarters in […]
Walleräng M.01 Review
The Walleräng M.01 is a “modular” electric bike platform that combines sport with transport. It’s capable of acting as a light-weight cargo ebike with the dual rack system and I appreciate the way the front rack does not turn as you steer the bike. It starts out as a small out of the way platform […]
Giant Quick-E+ Review
While traveling through Southern California I visited Fullerton Bicycles and met Trevor, the owner of the Quick-E+ electric bike you see here. He’s a 128 lb road biker who loves distance rides on the weekend but also commutes ~35 miles daily to his job. Trevor bought this bike to use as a recovery tool and […]
Juiced Bikes CrossCurrent Air Review
Juiced Bikes started out in 2013 with electric cargo bikes designed to haul loads and go far… they offer some of the highest capacity battery packs in the space and tend to be popular with delivery cyclists. In 2016 they launched the CrossCurrent, a sporty city bike with more traditional battery integration, a suspension fork […]
2017 IZIP E3 Peak DS Review
IZIP is one of the older electric bike companies operating in the United States, they’ve been a leader in the mid-level product space for several years and are now owned by the Accell Group which has Raleigh Electric and Haibike as well. It’s a company with good customer support, a solid network of dealers (mostly […]
Butchers & Bicycles MK1-E Review
The MK1-E is an electric version of the MK1 from Butchers and Bicycles, a company located in the meatpacking district of Copenhagen. Copenhagen is the capital city of Denmark, a bicycle friendly country in Europe where cycling accounts for roughly 20% of all commuter trips! I was impressed with the look of this thing from […]
Easy Motion Evo Big Bud Pro Review
Easy Motion is one of the only mainstream electric bike makers to deliver an all-wheel drive electric fat bike and the result is pretty impressive. You can actually specify that the bike use just the rear motor, just the front motor, a combination of the two (for a zippy start with efficient cruising) or two-wheel […]
Moustache StarckBike Asphalt Review
The StarckBike Asphalt is part of a series of electric bikes created with input from Philippe Starck, a famous designer known for his work on hotels, restaurants and even electric cars, for Moustache, a French ebike company. Philippe’s interest in “where and how people live” has led to “simple but inventive structures” according to Wikipedia […]
Motiv Sleek Review
Motiv hasn’t changed their electric bikes much since I first saw and reviewed them in 2014. The brand is cool, their color options are unique and stylish vs. cutesy and the founder is very attentive to his dealers and customers. This is predominently West Coast brand that only sells through shops. Some use the Sleek […]
