The Liberty Trike is a truly liberating electric bicycle designed for people who want improved stability, weight capacity and comfort over more traditional two wheeled bicycles. Adding to the mobility aspects of a trike, you get electric throttle power here so climbing, hauling and simply going further is less of a challenge. I have been […]
2016 Liberty Trike Electric Tricycle Review
Stromer ST1 Limited Edition Review
The Stromer ST1 is a speed pedelec, 28 mph capable, electric bike with race-like qualities and performance parts. It comes in limited edition metallic blue and only 399 units were produced. You get premium fenders with a custom rack for hauling gear, powerful hydraulic disc brakes, integrated lights (the front is aimable and puts out […]
Vilano ION Review
The Valano ION is built around a somewhat dated design where the battery pack fits into a rear rack vs. being integrated into the downtube like the e-Joe Epik, EG Vienna, VoltBike Urban or a whole slew of other models. This makes it rear heavy and more prone to tipping but provides easy access to […]
Virtue Cycles Pedalist Review
Virtue Cycles produces a range of affordable bicycles with two electrified variants called the Gondoliere Plus and Schoolbus Plus. The Pedalist by contrast, only comes with electric power because it’s significantly larger and heavier than the two cargo bikes. This thing weighs in at ~175 lbs without the battery (which adds another 10 lbs or […]
Dillenger Street Legal Electric Bike Kit Review
Dillenger offers some of the most polished electric bike conversion kits I’ve tested and their Street Legal Samsung Power product is one of my favorites. This kit is well priced at ~$700 including the motor, controller, display, throttle, battery and all of the wires you need to get up and running. The only things it […]
KTM Macina Force 29 10 CX4 Review
KTM began as an Austrian motorcycle manufacturer with roots dating back to the 1930’s and an official formation in 1981. Over the past 30+ years it has built a solid reputation producing off-road motorcycles but recently branched off into road bikes and then electric bikes. Apparently they’ve been making standard bicycles since 1964? The Macina […]
Watseka XP Review
The Watseka XP comes in two variants that are very similar to each other… the Sport and Cargo. For this review I bought the Cargo Electric Bicycle because it came with a front basket but otherwise seemed to match the Sport exactly while only costing $3 more. Note that you can always buy the basket […]
Vilano Pulse Review
I purchased this bike on Amazon because the company that makes it, Vilano, had a few different models there and to me they looked good and offered value for the price (Lithium batteries and nice accessories for under $1k). Rather than going directly through the company, I felt like Amazon would help me with any […]
BULLS TWENTY9 E FS 3 RSI Review
UPDATE: The TWENTY9 E FS 3 RSI is still being sold by BULLS, even though this particular review was conducted several years ago. They have since updated the Bosch motor to Gen 3 and the battery to PowerPack 500! This means improved performance, power, and range. I’m leaving the review unchanged since the videos, photos, […]
Outrider Alpha 4 Series Review
For this review I was able to meet with a lead designer from Outrider, Zach Thomas, who walked me through the different specs on their updated Outrider Alpha 4 Series which he helped to create. We demoed the 420 trim level with a few minor upgrades but otherwise this is a fairly stock, base level […]
