FREY unveils pricing and takes orders for its 31 MPH and 1,500W electric bikes

Frey cc electric bike

FREY Bikes sent a shockwave around the internet last month when the manufacturer unveiled two new high-speed full suspension e-bikes.

With its previous e-bikes gaining a reputation for matching the specs of $6,000-$8,000 European E-MTBs yet at half the cost, all eyes were on the young e-bike company, which hadn’t yet revealed prices for its brand new models.

Super Monarch e-bike hits 30 mph with 2 batteries, AWD, and full suspension

super monarch AWD ebike

At a time when many e-bikes are starting to look like cookie-cutter copies of each other, the new Super Monarch electric bicycle has gone a different direction. And that new direction includes adding an extra motor, an extra battery, ratcheting up the speed, and then tossing in full suspension on top.

The result is a fast and powerful e-bike with plenty of range that can provide as much fun off-road as it can on-road.

Evelo Aurora Hub-Drive is a 1 kW Cadillac of fat-tire road ebikes

e-bike deals

The Evelo Aurora Hub-Drive really surprised me with its usability. I’m a little spoiled because I own a “bike-shop ebike” that I ride to work daily. Because of that, I’m often disappointed in the quality of $2,000-and-under ebikes. Components, weight, and workmanship are often sacrificed to get to those low prices. But that’s not the case here…

Review: $1,499 Townie Go! 7D e-bike is a fun, attractive electric beach cruiser

electra townie Go! 7D

There’s something timeless about beach cruisers. I just love the pedal-forward design, upright riding style and care-free fun that has me feeling like I’m riding through a soda commercial. But as timeless as the good, old-fashioned beach cruiser is, a little added technology never hurt. The Electra Townie Go! 7D benefits from an electric pedal assist system that retains the feel of a Townie beach cruiser but makes the ride much easier – and more fun!

We rode the Juiced Scorpion retro moped ebike, now available for $1299 pre-order

The Juiced Scorpion, one of our favorite, lust-worthy ebikes just went on sale at 9 am eastern time and we thought you should know about it – particularly since I’ve been riding an “almost feature complete” prototype around town for the past week. The Scorpion, which is a full suspension electric moped/ebike hybrid with awesome retro styling and monster 13-19 Ah 52V battery, starts at a nutty $1299+$99 shipping but will go up in price very soon. Juiced are only offering a limited number of each configuration at this price. Frankly, I don’t know how they got the price so low but after putting it through its paces, I can say without reservation, it is the real deal…

Review: Swagtron’s $999 hipster-spec electric bike makes a great city e-bike

Swagtron EB12

Swagtron’s new EB12 electric bicycle is its first foray into full-sized commuter bikes. And while they didn’t quite hit the ball out of the park on their first try, they got it pretty darn close to the fence.

With a sleek design and an electric boost, the Swagtron EB12 could be the perfect option for cash-strapped students or budget-minded city commuters that want a good bike for an even better price.

XCYC Pickup review: The love child of an electric bike and a Ford F-150

xcyc pickup electric bicycle

Have you ever thought, “You know what I need…a pickup truck that I can pedal like a bicycle”?

Yea, me neither. But I recently got the chance to test one out anyways, and now I realize what I’ve been missing in my life. The XCYC Pickup is a ridiculous e-bike that actually works really well and may just be the answer to urban cargo solutions.
