Dutch electric bicycle company Gazelle has been making major inroads with US customers. Now the company’s new Class 3 Ultimate C380+ trekking e-bike is offering up even more exciting speed and is likely to further Gazelle’s US growth.

Single-speed e-bikes are excellent options for anyone in search of a lightweight, straightforward e-bike that simply works. And one of the best options on the market in the US has proven to be the Propella V4.0.

While the name Radio Flyer may bring up nostalgic images of a little red wagon for some (or little red Teslas for the youngest generation), the company is now branching out into electric two-wheelers with a pair of new fat tire electric bicycles for adults.

Civilized Cycles has just unveiled its new Model 1 electric bike today, and the New York-based company is already claiming that it “rivals a second car or moped.”

Judging by the specs and design, they might be right.

Electric bicycles in the rugged moped style are all over the place these days, and for good reason. Unlike fitness e-bikes that are often used for a combination of exercise and leisure riding, electric mopeds are built mostly for good old fashioned getting around. And the Addmotor M-66 R7 moped fully embodies that design ethos. It’s a transportation e-bike that will have you zipping around your city faster than a car and cheaper than a public transport season ticket.

Electric bicycles are fun and effective tools for both recreation and transportation, but they don’t have to cost thousands of dollars. We’ve tested plenty of great e-bikes that don’t break the bank, and would be perfect for cruising around this summer!

Metakoo is a fairly new e-bike brand that was spun off by the same company that brought us the MacWheel series of e-bikes that we enjoyed testing late last year. These bikes aren’t known for being top shelf (or even mid-shelf), but they do present strong bang-for-your-buck in the entry-level class. The company’s first model, the Metakoo Cybertrack 100, offers a quasi-mountain bike format designed for price-conscious consumers.

Summer might not be here yet, but this weekend at least marks the unofficial start of summer in the US – and thus a great time to soak up the good weather outdoors on an electric bicycle.

The Ariel Rider X-Class 52V e-bike is one of those electric bikes that just straight up looks like it needs to be ridden. Everything about it screams, “Hop on and rip it!” so that’s exactly what I did.

While new e-bike launches are fairly common these days, powerful mid-drive electric mopeds are still a rarity. That makes the new Ristretto e-bike all the more interesting.

The Torque 1 electric commuter bike from St Petersberg, Florida-based Ride Scoozy may just be one of the most affordable electric bicycles out there with a torque sensor.

You know those sleeper cars that roll up looking like any other bucket on the road and then proceed to shred a set of tires right before your eyes? The Biktrix Swift Step-Thru is pretty much the electric bicycle equivalent.

It’s a fine-looking e-bike, though nothing fancy initially jumps out at you. But when you start to examine it deeper, you realize all of the hidden high performance that makes this an electric wolf in sheep’s clothing.

These days electric bicycles have become a common form of transportation and recreation. But while pedal-assist e-bikes that provide motor assistance when the rider pedals have been widely accepted as a faster and more convenient transportation tool, questions have remained in some circles regarding their efficacy from a fitness standpoint.

San Diego-based Juiced Bikes has just launched the brand’s latest electric bicycle, the Juiced RipCurrent S Step-Thru.

The team over at Lectric eBikes has just released a new version of the company’s popular folding fat-tire e-bike, dubbed the Lectric XP 2.0.

Seattle-based electric bicycle company Ariel Rider was already sitting on one of the most powerful moped-style e-bikes when it released the Ariel Rider Grizzly late last year.

Now the company is announcing several new updates to the model that not only make it more powerful, but also boost the quality even further.

A teaser image released by the San Diego-based electric bicycle company Juiced Bikes suggests that the popular e-bike brand has a new electric bike set to debut soon.

But another photo may have already spoiled the surprise.

There’s no two ways about it, Rad Power Bikes is absolutely crushing it in the e-bike market. The Seattle-based electric bicycle manufacturer holds the largest share of the US market by far with all other companies competing for a distant second.

To learn more about what the leading e-bike brand is up to next, we caught up with founder and CEO Mike Radenbaugh. In speaking with Mike, it is obvious that he is an e-bike rider first and CEO of an e-bike company second – his passion for the electric bike community shines through every time he talks about the company. Having founded Rad Power Bikes after working on his own experiments with building electric bikes in his garage, he’s seen the larger industry grow even as Rad has grown within it.

In other “this wasn’t news that I was expecting to write today” news, the video game firm behind a series of classic titles has inexplicably developed a new electric bicycle, and it actually looks pretty slick. The Paperboy electric bike is designed as a no-nonsense commuter that you can barely tell is an e-bike.

Lectric eBikes’ cult-classic Lectric XP electric bike appears to be getting a new generation next week.

Toronto-based light electric vehicle (LEV) company Daymak has announced that it has over $300 million in pre-order commitments across its Avvenire line of various electric vehicles. The Avvenire line includes a wide range of EVs from smaller electric bicycles to a three-wheeled electric car and even a flying vehicle.
