The Wild Goose is Daymak’s fat electric bike offering and much like its other classic ebikes this thing is designed to be affordable but still powerful and fun. You get four color choices including bright orange or red and standard black or white but only one frame size in medium 19″. There are many ways […]
Daymak Wild Goose Review
Freway VR-01 Review
The VR-01 is the first electric bike introduced to the US from Freway, a Chinese company that’s part of the SCUD Group. They are based in Shenzhen China, a province that is famous for being home to other producers of high precision, low cost electronics being produced at incredible speed for customers like Hewlett Packard, […]
Daymak Paris Review
The Daymak Paris 24V (and Vermont 24V) are the two most affordable products in Daymak’s electric bicycle lineup. Each model is about one thousand dollars and you get quite a few extras for this price… though many of the components are base level. Indeed, this is a cheaply made ebike but in my experience it […]
BESV Jaguar JS1 Review
BESV is part of the Darfon Innovation Corp. which, at the time of this review, was the world leader in producing integrated laptop keyboards. They also make power supplies, human interface devices and other electronics and have over 20k employees worldwide… that’s a solid foundation to build electric bikes from and some of their earliest […]
Pedego Trail Tracker Review
In 2016 Pedego launched a fourth generation build of the Trail Tracker electric bike! It resembles the new Ridge Rider e-mountain bike in that the battery is designed to fit into the downtube vs. a rear rack, dramatically improving weight distribution and stability. This is a fat-tire style electric bike which works well on pavement, […]
Daymak Vermont Review
The Daymak Vermont is a mixed bag for me… I love the high power motor and extra large battery for improved zip and range but am concerned by the lack of motor inhibitor on the brake levers (you can end up fighting the motor or struggle stopping as quickly in pedal assist mode especially). Throttle […]
Pedego Ridge Rider Review
Since late 2014 I’ve seen Pedego secretly working on an electric mountain bike and this first generation Ridge Rider is the culmination of that effort. To be honest, it’s far more capable and technical than I was expecting… my preconception of the brand has been built around their wide selection of comfort-oriented cruisers with fun […]
2016 Motiv Stash Review
I’ve been reviewing Motiv electric bikes for several years now and the Stash is their first folding model. It builds on the best qualities I’ve appreciated from other manufacturers like e-Joe, Enzo and EZ Pedalar with an internally mounted battery, the addition of pedal assist and throttle mode and fender, rack and light kit all […]
Daymak Arsenal Review
The Arsenal is Daymak’s full sized and full suspension folding electric bike model. Like many of the other products offered by Daymak, this is a budget-oriented ebike with some parts and accessories that are basic quality. This is an important point because it’s easy to look at a full suspension bicycle and think “let’s go […]
Daymak EC1 Review
The Daymake EC1 (electric, carbon, first edition) is an affordable, light weight ebike built around a carbon fiber frame. It debuted on Kickstarter in late 2015 for $899 and met its funding goal with $70k+ in sales but the standard product has since jumped in price to $1,899. There is a bit of confusing linking […]
