I’m going to start this off by immediately begging you not to buy this ridiculous contraption you’ll see in the article below. You’ve been warned. Ok, now feast your eyes on this monstrosity!

If you’ve been following the world of high-powered e-bikes, you’ve probably noticed the line between e-bike and light electric motorcycle getting thinner every year.

I’ve been testing the bike to see what it’s really like in the real world, and let me tell you… this thing is a beast!

When I first saw the Viribus SC5 electric trike, I figured it would be a budget-friendly utility trike with basic features and limited performance. I’ve tried a Viribus e-trike before, and while it got the job done, it was a fairly basic and entry level model. But this time, I was pleasantly surprised to find that the SC5 delivers more than just the basics.

I’ve been testing it now for various errands, grocery runs, and casual rides around the neighborhood. After logging some decent miles on it, here’s what I’ve learned about this three-wheeled e-bike, and why I think it’s a strong contender in the growing world of electric trikes.

When it comes to folding bicycles, there’s one name in the game that deserves more credit than any other for putting these compact transportation machines on the map. Dahon has been behind some of the biggest innovations that have turned folding bicycles from quirky newcomers to mainstays of urban transportation. The company has offices in the US, Europe, and China. And it was the third I went to see, hopping a ride to Shenzhen to meet the company – and its maker – face to face.

Key Biscayne, a small barrier island off the coast of Miami, has become one of the only places in the United States where all electric bikes are completely banned, regardless of speed class, rider age, or motor power.

When I first hopped on the new Priority Skyline Smart‑Shift e-bike, I wasn’t exactly sure what to expect. I’ve ridden dozens and dozens of commuter e-bikes, some fancier than others, but it’s rare to see something that feels this refined and has components like these, especially from a direct-to-consumer company that focuses on quality builds at affordable prices.

Just unveiled this month, Priority Bicycles calls it their most advanced e-bike ever, and after a few days riding it around the city, I can say they’re not just hyping it up.

Forget fiddling with derailleurs and gear levers mid-commute. Instead, Bafang wants to make urban e‑biking smoother than ever with its all-new H730 hub motor, featuring its patented GVT (Gear Variable Transmission) technology. The idea is to combine the advantages of internally geared hubs with Bafang’s own hub motors to create an internally geared hub motor.

JackRabbit, the San Diego-based micromobility company that made its name on tiny, featherweight, pedal-free “micro e-bikes”, is taking a big swing with something entirely new.
