There was a time, not all that long ago, when the electric bicycle industry seemed headed in a very different direction.

I love listening to music, podcasts, and audiobooks when I’m riding my e-bikes. Depending on the type of ride I’m doing, I’ve got an affinity for all of them. But I also love not getting hit by a car. And those two goals don’t always work well together. Traditional earbuds and headphones can be great for audio…

When most people think about how a bicycle frame is built, they probably imagine sparks flying from a welding torch. That’s certainly how the vast majority of aluminum bike frames are made. But one British e-bike company is taking a very different approach, and it has more in common with Aston Martin sports cars and…
One of the most common questions I hear from people considering an e-bike right now, during a period of soaring energy prices, is some variation of “Can it actually save me money?” The answer is yes. Quite a bit, actually. But the interesting part is that most people focus on the wrong number. more…

The issue of e-bike scofflaws has grown considerably over the last few years, normally taking the form of teenagers on fast e-bikes illegally cruising down sidewalks or recklessly riding through intersections.
