As electric fat tire e-bikes become increasingly popular, more designers are getting creative with their suspension setups to differentiate themselves from the sea of other e-bikes out there. Now, the Fucare Scorpio takes a classic dual rear suspension design and applies it in a unique way to electric bicycles.

And it raises the question: Can you have too much suspension?

We’ve seen plenty of electric bicycle conversion kits around these parts, but rarely is there one that strays as far from the pack as the Skarper. This novel e-bike kit sports a unique look and claims that it can convert just about any bicycle into an electric bike – as long as it uses a disc brake.

Propella has long been known for its eye-catching blue and black commuter e-bikes that prioritize a simple and lightweight design over flashy features and bulky accessories. They’ve also always been pedal assist-only bikes, at least until now. The company has just launched the Propella MINI MAX as a throttle-enabled electric utility bike.

E-bikes are my main form of transportation, and so the right gear can make a big impact on my rides. While I normally review e-bikes themselves, in this series we’re exploring some of the helpful tools, gear, and other devices that can help make living a car-free life easier, more convenient, or just more fun! And the HoverAir X1 folding drone has proven to be an incredible camera for my rides, fitting squarely into the ‘fun and conventient’ category.

Electric bikes have long been popular for hunters due to their ability to reach hard-to-access areas quickly and quietly. But now we’re seeing a rather unique use of e-bikes as a hunting tool: to help take down invasive pythons in the Everglades.

When Ride1Up launched the Prodigy V2, they kept all the parts that made this Brose-powered mid-drive great and added even more components (like a Gates belt drive system!) to make this e-bike one of the best deals in mid-drive electric bicycles.

The Propella 9S Pro V2, unveiled late last year, is one of only a few low-cost torque sensor-enabled electric bikes to reach the market. And now the new model is officially shipping to customers.

Rad Power Bikes, one of the leading electric bicycle companies in the US, has just slashed prices on all of its e-bikes.

A new collaboration between three different companies will see US-produced battery cells that could soon lead to fireproof e-bike batteries.

It’s a new year, and yet we’re facing the same old problem as last year: electric bike fear-mongering from irresponsible journalists painting an overblown risk of e-bike fires.

As VinFast expands its presence in the US, the Vietnamese automaker recently showed off its new DrgnFly electric bike at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas. But no sooner did the veil drop than the questions began to swirl about just how close is too close when mimicking other famous e-bike designs.

Electric bikes are no stranger to armed forces around the world, and now the French military has joined the ranks of e-bike riders as it wraps up the first phase of testing on electric two-wheelers.

It’s a common refrain heard from drivers everywhere, “Those dang cyclists don’t respect the rules of the road!”. But how do bike riders and car drivers actually compare when it comes to obeying traffic laws? That’s exactly what one scientific study set about to discover.

Segway has taken to the Consumer Electronics Expo (CES) in Las Vegas to unveil a pair of new electric two-wheelers. The first is an electric bicycle called the Xafari, while the latter is a borderline electric motorcycle known as the Xyber.

The National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) has recently announced a hardline approach that bans the entrance of electric bicycles by visitors or staff due to safety concerns.

When it comes to riding e-bikes off-road, fat tires are a simple and easy way to get more comfort out of your ride. Adventure-style electric bikes, such as the Fiido Titan I’ve been testing, let amateur and experienced riders alike enjoy hitting trails and other off-road surfaces without needing thousands of dollars in high-end suspension to enjoy the ride. By adding powerful motors and big batteries, e-bikes like these ensure that the ride is just as capable as it is long-lasting!

Japanese e-bike manufacturers are making a run towards battery-swapping as a convenient alternative to stopping and charging batteries. Yamaha is the latest company to spin-out a new battery-swapping venture, today announcing its new ENYRING.

Riding an e-bike in the snow can be an exhilarating experience, but it also poses unique challenges. The combination of electric power and snowy conditions requires a different approach to make sure you’re staying safe while having a blast.

Electric bicycle ridership grew to never-before-seen levels in 2023.

Here’s a look back at some of the most infamous bans and what led to them.

What has three wheels, three motors, and seemingly endless possibilities? The Dolas Defender 250 electric bike. It may be a three-wheeler, but just don’t call it a tricycle. It’s something of a rollerblade to the rest of the rollerskates of the trike world, fitting all three of its wheels in a single track.

Electric tricycles are having something of an e-bike renaissance. They’ve been around for years, but now they’re finally starting to get the credit they deserve as both utilitarian runabouts and a great way for older riders to get back in the saddle again. I’ve been testing out the Viribus Trio Plus e-trike (the dual-chain version), and I’m blown away by how good this e-bike is for the price.
