A video circulating on social media this morning has electric bike fans cheering and Homeland Security officers scratching their heads after a man who is reported to be a delivery rider appeared to evade a group of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents in Chicago using nothing more than some quick footwork and an e-bike.

Super73, the lifestyle e-bike brand known for its moto-inspired designs, just dropped a teaser that has fans buzzing… and scratching their heads.

New York City’s new 15 mph speed limit for electric bikes is officially set to take effect next month, in what city officials claim is a move to improve street safety. But not everyone is convinced the crackdown is targeting the real threat on the roads.

Trek is finally electrifying its gravel lineup – quite literally. The company has just launched the Checkpoint+, its first-ever electric gravel bike, and it’s more than just a motor bolted onto an existing frame. With a new high-performance powertrain, serious adventure credentials, and that unmistakable Trek polish, the Checkpoint+ looks ready to stir up the e-gravel world.

It looks like electric motorcycle influencer Surronster has landed himself in trouble south of the border, based on an arrest video posted to his social media channels.

We’ve known for years that the electric truck maker Rivian has been working on smaller, two-wheeled electric vehicles. After spinning out a micromobility startup, ALSO, to develop and market the vehicles, we’ve been counting the days until the company’s apparent unveiling next month. But now the wait may be over early as leaked images reveal the e-bike expected to be unveiled by the new electric startup.

We’ve been following Rivian’s quest to develop an in-house electric two-wheeler for years now, dating back to 2022 when we spotted them poaching top electric bicycle talent from companies like Specialized. But despite years of development work, no one on the outside really knows what the company’s micromobility startup ALSO is truly working on. And thanks to several strange teaser videos shared by the apparent skunkworks program, we still don’t know.

While much of the North American electric bike industry continues to chase high speeds and low prices, Gazelle is doubling down on what it’s always done best: comfort, quality, and timeless design. The Dutch brand just announced its fall 2025 lineup, bringing three new Class 1 models to North America, including the Easyflow C7, Arroyo C5, and Arroyo C380. With clear Dutch inspiration and a focus on comfort, the new e-bike models should feel as good as they look.

When it comes to e-bike gear, most of us have been burned before. That “waterproof” pannier that started leaking after the first storm, the multitool that rounded out on its tenth bolt, the lights that faded faster than a dying AA battery. I’ve had my share of disappointments. But over the past decade of nearly daily riding, there’s a small handful of e-bike tools and accessories that have stood the test of time. I’m talking half a decade or more of constant use, surviving rain, dust, sun, and the occasional crash, and still going strong.

I’ve been working in the e-bike industry for over 15 years now, and so I’ve seen a thing or two. I also get about a dozen emails a day from people asking what type of e-bike would be best for them, so it’d probably be more efficient to simply tell everyone the correct answer all at once.

If you ask me, there’s one e-bike style that will work for more people than just about anything else on the market. I’m not saying it’s the perfect choice for everyone – there’s no such thing – but if you’re staring at a dozen browser tabs of e-bike specs and feeling decision fatigue, this is the style I’d point you toward.

Boost, a UK-based company better known for its electric bike conversion kits, has released a new electric bike that is designed to be as compact as possible, despite not being a folding e-bike. Or at least, not a folding frame e-bike.

DAHON, a leading global folding bike manufacturer, is entering a new chapter, this time with a public market twist. The company officially listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange today, marking a major milestone for the 40-year-old folding bike pioneer.

In the latest chapter of New York City’s crackdown on e-bikes, officials are exploring a plan that would help reduce the number of non-certified electric bicycle batteries used or stored in the city.

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! A $350 e-bike from Alibaba that comes with not just a suspension fork, not just full-suspension, but at least five more shocks than any bike should ever conceivably possess, seemingly randomly sprinkled around the bike’s frame.

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. The Luckeep M5 Ultra is one of those machines that sits right on that dividing line: a motorcycle-inspired electric bike with full suspension, two big hub motors, and a speed and range that will make your average commuter e-bike blush. 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.

If you’ve been holding out for an affordable electric bike with a Bosch mid-drive motor, your wait may finally be over. Raleigh has just launched a new version of its Captus electric bike, and it delivers the holy trinity of name-brand components, comfort-focused design, and a surprisingly low price.

In a move that underscores the growing instability in international e-bike trade, premium electric bike maker Riese & Müller has paused all e-bike shipments to the United States, citing unpredictable steel tariffs as the final straw.

Police in the UK have confiscated what they say is the fastest electric bicycle they’ve ever seen, suggesting it was capable of reaching speeds of 83.2 MPH.
