The moped-style electric bike market continues to grow, and now Heybike is throwing its hat further into the ring with the launch of its new Saturn e-bike. And the company is coming out swinging with specs that jump right off the page and a price tag that will make you say, “wait, whaaat?” more…
For many Americans, the idea of buying an electric bike with healthcare funds probably sounds somewhere between confusing and too good to be true. But increasingly, that’s becoming a real option. more…
Lectric eBikes has officially launched the new XPress2, a significantly updated version of its commuter-focused electric bike that adds a long list of premium upgrades while still aiming squarely at the value-focused market the company has become famous for. more…
DJI’s Avinox e-bike drive system has quickly become one of the most talked-about names in the high-performance electric mountain bike industry, largely because of one headline-grabbing fact: the thing is absurdly powerful. Now the company is trying to explain why. more…
There’s a sentence that still sounds slightly radical in much of America, even though millions of people elsewhere in the world would barely think twice about it: Every family should own an e-bike. Sure, not every person and not every trip. Maybe not even as a complete replacement for cars. But as a standard household…
There’s a tough conversation happening in a lot of households right now. Teenagers want cool, fast electric bikes. Parents see viral crash videos and stories about reckless riding and understandably want nothing to do with it. And both sides kind of have a point. Group riding and hanging out with friends are an…
When I first got into e-bikes, I treated them exactly as they felt at the time: tiny electric motorcycles with pedals attached. This was back around 2009 or 2010, years before the 3-class system was even a twinkle in the eye of an e-bike industry lobbyist. I had one of maybe a half-dozen e-bikes in a city of 400,000…
Police departments around the country are increasingly finding themselves in a difficult position when it comes to illegal electric motorbike riders tearing through neighborhoods, parks, and bike trails. In one Colorado town, officials are now trying a new strategy after struggling to catch many of the riders…
Amazon says it will stop allowing the sale of high-speed electric motorbikes in California that exceed the state’s legal e-bike limits, marking one of the largest crackdowns yet on the increasingly fuzzy line between e-bikes and electric motorcycles. more…
One of the most underrated superpowers of electric bikes is the ability of many models to carry more than one person. Add a passenger kit and suddenly an e-bike stops being a solo commuter and starts acting like a genuine car replacement, passengers and cargo included. more…
For years, “next-gen battery tech” in the e-bike world (and the EV world in general) has mostly been a promise. Solid-state batteries were always just around the corner, hyped in EV headlines but nowhere to be found on actual bikes you could buy. That may finally be changing. more…
Massachusetts lawmakers are considering one of the most comprehensive micromobility regulatory overhauls we’ve seen in the US yet, proposing a new legal framework that would categorize everything from bicycles and e-bikes to electric scooters and Sur Ron-style electric motos into a four-tier speed classification…
Juiced Bikes is officially back. After the brand was acquired by the team behind Lectric eBikes, perhaps the biggest name in the budget e-bike space, Juiced is relaunching with a renewed focus – and two new models that feel very much like a return to its roots. The new Juiced Scrambler Hardtail and Scrambler Full…
San Diego, California-based electric bicycle maker Ride1Up has just carved out a place for itself in the history books, announcing today the world’s first electric bicycle with a semi-solid state battery, the Ride1Up Revv1 EVO. It could be one of the most important technological shifts we’ve seen in e-bikes in years…
I recently got a chance to test out the Macfox X7 electric bike, and after spending some time riding it around, one thing became immediately clear: while this model isn’t trying to be a traditional e-bike, it still sticks the landing with a legal and fun moped-like ride. And that’s exactly why a lot of riders are…
If you’ve been paying attention to the e-bike world lately, you’ve probably noticed a trend: riders always seem to want more power and torque. And Bosch’s latest update looks like a direct answer to that demand. The company has announced its new Performance Upgrade 2.0, a software-based boost for its popular…
A billion-dollar valuation is a headline that’s hard to ignore. And when it’s attached to a new e-bike brand spun out of a company like Rivian, it’s even harder not to get swept up in the excitement. But zoom out for a moment, and a more complicated picture starts to emerge. more…
As electric bicycles continue to grow in popularity and grab headlines, regulatory debates are heating up. More states are clamping down on how and where e-bikes can be ridden, and even what constitutes an e-bike. more…
A new bill in Minnesota is taking aim at one of the fastest-growing gray areas in micromobility: high-powered electric two-wheelers that blur the line between e-bikes and motorcycles. more…
Late last year, I had the chance to check out the world’s first semi-solid-state batteries designed for electric bicycles. At EICMA 2025, I visited T&D, an electric mobility company that was spun out of e-bike component maker Bafang (and founded by the same co-founder of Bafang, Sunny He). There I saw the first…
