Fluidfreeride offering big savings, free electric scooters (and planting 100 trees per sale!)

Miami-based Fluidfreeride is one of my favorite scooter distributors in the US. I’ve visited their headquarters, tested at least a half dozen of their scooters, and I highly recommend the company.

And now they are making it even easier to support them by not only offering a great early Black Friday sale including an option for “buy one, get one free” e-scooters, but they are also teaming up with Trees for the Future to plant 100 trees for every scooter deal sold. Head below for all of this year’s deals.

RadMission e-bike review: Rad Power Bikes’ best (and most affordable) electric bike yet?

radmission review

The RadMission electric bicycle from Rad Power Bikes is one of the company’s most interesting e-bikes to date. While it makes a few modest compromises to hit its impressive $1,099 price point (and is on sale as a bundle for $200 off right now through Black Friday), it scores big wins in most categories, making this an incredibly high bang-for-your-buck e-bike.

Serial 1 (formerly Harley-Davidson) e-bikes unveiled, and we got the first ride

Don’t call them the Harley-Davidson electric bicycles anymore! Despite spending their first two years of development as an H-D project, the e-bikes were spun off into their own company known as Serial 1 last month.

Today Serial 1 is releasing the full details and taking pre-orders for their new portfolio of “Powered by Harley-Davidson” e-bikes, including specs and pricing. And as an added treat, I got to take the first-ever test ride of the premium-level Serial 1 e-bikes to share with you below.
