What happens when you combine the classic ride of a cruiser e-bike with the mega power of a high-wattage fat tire e-bike? You get an extremely comfortable hotrod of an e-bike known as the Biktrix Stunner X!

They say there’s nothing new under the sun, but that doesn’t mean you can’t still combine classic styling to create novel products. And the recently unveiled Pepper electric moped is a prime example of old meets new with a design that blurs the line between electric bicycles and motorcycles.

The idea that electric bicycles are “cheating” has long since been written off. With the massive adoption of electric bicycles under way and multiple studies confirming that electric bicycles provide nearly as much exercise as pedal bicycles, a new real-world test is now helping us get a better idea of exactly how much exercise different levels of electric pedal assist can provide.

What could be a worse idea than flying around corners at high speeds on an unstable tricycle with intentionally low traction wheels? How about adding a high torque motor and doing the whole thing with a small child tied down next to you?

This electric drift trike with a sidecar makes it possible to share the joy (or abject terror) of a drift run with the closest pint-sized passenger. And fortunately for all of us, this thing is just weird enough to make it into this week’s edition of the Awesomely Weird Alibaba Electric Vehicle of the Week series!

It’s that time of the year again, stimulus check time! Now, I want to be very clear up front: if you’re struggling to make rent or buy food, obviously those priorities come first. But for those who have their necessities met and now are prepared to put the “stimulus” in stimulus check, these are our favorite sub-$1,400 electric bicycles that you can buy from American-based direct-to-consumer companies right now (though don’t forget that if you have a local e-bike shop, you can stimulate your local economy by shopping there).

Rolling your stimulus check into alternative transportation like an electric bicycle won’t just stimulate the economy and help US businesses. It will also help you commute to work or ride for pleasure on a fun, environmentally conscious two-wheeled electric vehicle that could ultimately save you a lot of money down the road compared to car ownership or public transportation.

There’s just something so natural-feeling about charging an e-bike from solar power.

And also probably the only one you’ve ever seen.
