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 […]

Easy Motion Evo Snow 29″ Pro Review
The original Evo Snow launched in 2015 in the US delivering two-wheel-drive performance in a way that no other mainstream electric bike had. Not only did it provide better traction with two hub motors, it offered 30 gears so you could pedal efficiently at a wide range of speeds. For the 2016 model 10 gears […]
BULLS E-STREAM EVO FS Enduro 27.5 Review
The Bulls E-Stream Enduro is a downhill oriented electric bike utilizing the highly-integrated Brose mid-drive motor system. While it’s positioned as top of the line, you might also consider the FS 3 which offers the same 27.5″ wheel size and 160 mm travel with less aggressive rake. This translates to cross country riding vs. enduro […]
Outrider Horizon 2 Series Review
All of the current gen Outrider electric recumbent trikes share the same basic componentry but differ with respect to the gear box, motor power output, ground clearance (ride height) and stock color. The Horizon is by far the most versatile, offering standard pedals, foot rests vs. pedals in combination with hand cranks, hand motion activation […]
Haibike SDURO Full FatSix Review
The Haibike SDURO Full FatSix is one of the only full suspension, mid-drive, fat tire electric bikes that is being purpose-built by a leading ebike company… and it’s awesome. I do have a couple gripes here including the large clunky charger that Yamaha provides but the battery pack can be charged on or off the […]
EG Milan 500 EX Review
The EG Milan 500 EX is capable of high speed 28 mph top speeds in pedal assist mode, uses a torque sensor so assist feels fluid and responsive (but requires more effort) and also comes with a throttle that overrides assist up to 20 mph. It’s a winning commuting platform with full length fenders, a […]
Easy Motion EasyGo Volt Review
The EasyGo Volt is a follow-on to the larger, heavier and more expensive Neo Volt and Neo Volt Sport models from Easy Motion in years past. Weighing in at just under 40 lbs and costing about $1,500 it’s meant to be more accessible… What you trade is range, throttle mode and lights. I love that […]
eProdigy Whistler Review
The 2016 eProdigy Whistler offers massive improvements in power and range with a 750 watt centerdrive motor that is compact and relatively quiet paired with a 48 volt 11.6 amp hour battery pack. The pack is removable which is great for indoor or in-office charging but requires an extra on step once attached to the […]
EG Vienna 250 Review
In 2014 I reviewed the EG Vienna 250 EX which stood out for having full suspension (even though the travel was pretty limited), being priced pretty low and just being compact… The new 2016 version of the Vienna drops the EX from the name, upgrades the drivetrain with Shimano Acera vs. Tourney and offers a […]
Easy Motion Big Bud Pro Review
The Big Bud Pro is a rare beast… a two wheel drive electric fat bike. I’ve heard other companies claim “all wheel drive” because the front wheel has a hub motor and you pedal to move the rear wheel… but to me that’s a marketing lie. Easy Motion actually put two hub motors on this […]
