The EBO Front Range Kit is a mixed bag for me. I appreciate the more powerful 500 watt motor but given the gearless direct-drive design it weighs more than the more affordable planetary geared kits. Gearless motors are said to be tougher (no gears rubbing inside) and often allow for regenerative braking but that isn’t […]
Electric Bike Outfitters EBO Front Range Kit Review
Kranked E Squared Review
Kranked ERIDES is an electric bike kit distributor and manufacturer that has been around since mid 2011. They offer some of the most powerful and extreme systems I’ve seen, perfect for back country freeriding in national forests and other private wilderness. Most downhill riders who use traditional pedal-powered bikes either hike up, take a chairlift […]
Kranked EGO 2400 Review
The Kranked EGO 2400 is an electric bike kit that delivers power and speed more akin to an electric motorcycle than the low speed ebikes I usually test… It’s intended for off-road or private use and is capable of climbing 40 degree inclines, delivering 2400 watts at peak output (more than 5x traditional low speed […]
Electric Bike Outfitters EBO Phantom Kit Review
The EBO Phantom Kit is my favorite product in the Electric Bike Outfitters lineup so far. It delivers all of the features and hardware you need to commute or just have some fun cruising around. The battery pack mounts lower and improves balance and handling over the EBO Cruiser Kit and I love how it […]
Electric Bike Outfitters EBO Cruiser Kit Review
The Cruiser Kit from Electric Bike Outfitters is unique in that it offers a rear-rack style battery pack vs. one that mounts mid-frame on the downtube. This rack style battery used to be more common in the ebike kit space but has become less popular in recent years due to balance and handling limitations. Basically… […]
Electric Bike Outfitters EBO Commuter Kit Review
The EBO Commuter is the most affordable kit (at the time of this review) from Electric Bike Outfitters. This is a relatively new electric bicycle company based in Denver Colorado. The first things I noticed were the excellent price and all-inclusive setup. Unlike some kits, this one doesn’t tease you with a “battery not included” […]
Revelo Flex Review
The Revelo Flex is a unique ultra-portable folding electric bike that seems like a cross between the Yikebike and a more traditional folder from Tern or Dahon. It has pedals, but you don’t have to use them if you’re more interested in scooting around under electric power. The right crank arm has a release mechanism […]
Daymak New Yorker Review
The New Yorker is Daymak’s smallest and lightest weight folding electric bike. It’s the perfect size for closets or corners in apartments or a cabinet on a boat or motorhome. In addition to folding in half along the downtube, the stem also telescopes down and folds at an angle. The pedals fold in and the […]
Daymak Florence Review
The Daymak Florence is one of the few electric tricycles I’ve had the pleasure to test ride. For that alone, it’s a solid offering! Trikes offer improved stability and superior hauling capacity compared with two-wheeled electric bicycles but they also tend to weigh more and don’t go as fast. The florence is upwards of 85 […]
2016 Biktrix Stunner Review
Biktrix launched its first electric bike in November 2014 on Kickstarter; it was called the Juggernaut and offered fat tires on a sturdy high-step frame for a fun experience on sand, snow or trails. The Stunner is their second model, leveraging the same motor but a smaller battery pack it’s capable but optimized more for […]
