Furo Systems has a very bold take on the “last-mile” electric bike. Imagine everything that makes a good last-mile option, and focus only on that.
The eTura is wonderfully tailor-made for last-mile commutes, but use the bike for any any other purpose, and the seams start to show.
These are exciting times in the electric bicycle world. E-bike offerings are constantly improving and customers are getting increasingly higher quality bikes for ever-better deals. Nowhere is this more apparent than with today’s release of the FT750 electric bicycle from CSC Motorcycles.
The FT750 is the fascinating answer to the question, “What would happen if a motorcycle company built an electric bicycle?”
When Super73 teased its upcoming electric bicycle announcement last month, I never expected something this epic. But the brand who was there at the beginning of the electric mini-bike craze is back with a new (and premium) offering: the Super73 R-Series electric bikes.
If you’ve ridden a few electric bicycles before, then you’ve probably found yourself using Bafang’s electric bicycle parts and not even realized it. Bafang is one of the largest manufacturers of electric bicycle motors and components, if not the single largest, and we were fortunate enough to be invited to their factory to see how they build electric motors.

In the latest twist in the ongoing saga of Trump’s trade war with China, US Customs and Border Protection has excluded imported Chinese electric bicycles from the 25% tariffs originally imposed by the Trump Administration. But the way they did it comes as a bit of a surprise.

The SDREAM Ur folding electric bike just popped up on my radar, and I’m already impressed with its combination of specs, features, and price. There’s just one catch…
Blix is a Santa Cruz-based electric bicycle company that has just announced a major shift in its business model.
Luna Cycle, a southern California-based electric bicycle company, has always marched to the beat of their own drummer. That has certainly helped them pump out some pretty impressive and unique new electric bicycles, but has also seen them develop a reputation as a bit more of an adult-oriented electric bike company, if you catch my drift. And the company’s newest offering, the Fat BABE electric bike, seems to fit Luna’s style like a glove on both accounts.
The Wello Family solar-powered electric bike/car was just showcased at CES 2020, demonstrating how families might be able to transport kids or cargo with a much smaller carbon footprint than conventional transportation.
As electric bicycle manufacturers continue to compete in the rapidly expanding electric bicycle market, companies are offering higher-end electric bikes with increasingly affordable prices. San Diego-based Ride1Up’s new flagship e-bike, the 700 Series, is a prime example of the next generation of high-value electric bicycles. And unlike a lot of the vaporware we see, this bike is already making deliveries.
We all remember our history. In 1969, America sent men to the moon. Then, with the main part of the mission accomplished, the next most American thing to do was to send a car up for them to cruise around on.
That’s how the lunar rover became the first electric vehicle on the moon (or rather, the first electric passenger vehicle, as commenters that are smarter than me pointed out). But did you know that at one point, an electric bike was in the running to be the first moon vehicle?
I think it’s safe to say that most of us won’t need to go 150 miles (241 km) on a single charge of our electric bicycles. But if you’re the rare one who does, then e-bike company BULLS has just the bike for you: The BULLS Lacuba Evo Lite.
[Update: Pre-orders are now open for Rad Power Bikes’ new 2020 lineup, including the all-new RadRover Step Thru (seen below). Head on over to the Rad Power Bikes site to check them out!]
Rad Power Bikes is one of the biggest names in electric bicycles. And with a pile of new announcements including a brand new model, it looks like Rad is set on maintaining its lead in 2020 and beyond.
Electric bicycle and e-scooter fans in New York had their hopes dashed after Governor Cuomo vetoed a bill set to legalize the two-wheeled EVs across the state.
It’s not every day that you see a full suspension electric commuter bike. Especially not one with the components and build quality of the FREY CC electric commuter bike.
This year has seen a bumper crop of interesting, exciting, and sometimes oddball electric bicycles. And as 2019 comes to a close, we thought this would be a great chance to take a look back at a whole year filled with reviews of awesome electric bicycles.
Super73 is known for its vintage-inspired electric bicycles, and now the company is teasing a new electric motorbike.
Riding along the trail on a soft, confident electric bike is a very liberating feeling, and the TRB1 AM delivers exactly that. As a well-equipped bicycle, it instills a lot of confidence in sticky situations, and the added weight of the large electric system actually feels nice going downhill. Where was this bike hiding?
Bosch has been pumping out new products into the e-bike market fairly regularly lately. But the latest news from Bosch isn’t an updated e-bike motor or battery system — it’s a pair of smart glasses offering a heads-up display (HUD).
The HUD in the Bosch Smartglasses Light Drive, as the new system is called, could open up new possibilities for e-bike riders hoping to keep their eyes on the road.
I’m not saying looks are the most important thing for an e-bike. But when so many e-bikes offer similar top speeds, ranges, and other specs, a nice-looking design like the one offered by the Wing Freedom can help set an already good e-bike apart from the rest.
And an affordable price doesn’t hurt either.
Believe it or not, an unassuming little electric bicycle may just be a gateway drug into the fun, exciting and environmentally friendly world of electric motorcycles.
Who doesn’t love a great electric bicycle, scooter, or skateboard? Not only do they make great commuter vehicles, but they’re a ton of fun too!
When it comes to folding electric bicycles used for last-mile commutes, many riders have conflicting goals. We want a bike that feels big enough to be comfortable, yet it still has to be small enough to not get in the way. And the new $699 Swagtron EB7 Plus folding e-bike might just fit into that sweet spot.
There’s something beautiful about watching an electric dirt bike fly through the air in a pristine forest, disturbing nothing but a bit of dirt.
