The Jumper series of electric bikes from Emotion has long been a favorite for me… I have sensitive knees, scar tissue in my back and a constantly-aching and cracking neck due to multiple car accidents, skiing and surfing injuries over the years. I love full suspension and often get a shorter stem and riser bar […]
Easy Motion Evo Jumper Pro Review
Easy Motion Nitro City Review
The Nitro City is one of two 28 mph speed pedelecs offered by Easy Motion, and my personal favorite of the bunch because it delivers all kinds of commuting accessories. Wait, let me rethink that… it WAS my personal favorite in 2015 because it cost exactly the same as the Nitro Cross but had the […]
Easy Motion Evo City Wave Review
The Evo City Wave is one of Easy Motion’s most popular electric bikes because it’s very approachable (thanks to a low-step frame design), feature rich (fenders, lights, carry rack), comfortable (suspension fork, gel saddle, ergonomic grips and adjustable stem) and reasonably affordable at $3,099… It’s $100 more than the 2015 model in part because the […]
Easy Motion Evo Jet Review
The EVO Jet is Easy Motion’s active city oriented ebike for ladies, the equivalent to the EVO Cross for men… Now, if you’re a shorter guy or someone who just appreciates the step-thru design (which makes mounting and standing over bikes easier) then this could still work for you as it comes in two frame […]
Easy Motion Evo City Review
The 2016 version of Emotion’s EVO City model offers a higher voltage battery pack (48 vs. 36), a more powerful zippy motor (500 watt vs. 360), an updated paint job and costs a bit more. This continues to be one of the best looking, most feature rich electric bike for tall people who want a […]
Blix Stockholm Review
This review is for the 2015 Blix Stockholm, it’s similar to the 2016 version but differs in a few key ways… my favorite being that you do not have to leave the keys in the battery pack in order to operate the bike! This always bugged me because they can jingle around. While reviewing this […]
SONDORS Thin Review
The Sondors Thin is a single speed urban style electric bike with an average sized motor and slightly below average sized battery priced very reasonably at $499… plus mandatory $194 shipping. It borrows from some of the earlier Sondors fat tire bikes sold through Indiegogo and Kickstarter in 2015. I purchased both of these prior […]
EG Bali 500 EX Review
The EG Bali 500 EX is an electric bike that I want to love based on its low price and high specs on paper but have some real hangups with in practice. Yes, you get 28 mph capable speed pedelec with smooth torque sensing operation and a trigger throttle for instant power (up to 20 […]
BULLS CROSS LITE E Review
The BULLS Cross Lite E is a well equipped commuter or even trekking electric bicycle platform. It’s powered by the massively popular Bosch drive system with a large easy to use display that’s removable, battery that can be charged on or off the frame and a mid-drive motor that measures wheel speed, pedal cadence and […]
Virtue Cycles Schoolbus+ Review
The human powered Virtue Cycles Schoolbus was one of the first models created by founder William Mulyadi. It was designed to be stable for loading his kids, positioning them out front where he could keep an eye on them and have conversations during rides vs. behind in a trailer or rack mounted seat like the […]
