Electric Bike

REVIEW – I’ve reviewed two mountain bike-style e-bikes for The Gadgeteer and liked them both: the TurboAnt Thunder T1 & the Heybike Brawn. I wanted to try a cargo-style bike on for size because my main uses are commuting and carrying groceries. The Rattan Quercus appealed to me because it seemed designed especially for those types […]

REVIEW: Everyone, their brother and second cousin is selling eBikes these days.  In order to stand out, there has to be a feature that calls to the buyer, compelling a purchase.  The Mokwheel Mesa Lite electric bike wants to position itself as an affordable commuter and utility ebike.  Let’s see if it lives up to

REVIEW – It seems like everywhere you look, you see someone on an e-bike. Many ride them on the flat ordinary streets for commuting in the city, getting around at universities, or just riding around the neighborhood. However, there are other kinds of e-bikes that can provide better handling and traction over tougher terrain like

REVIEW – As my e-bike craze continues, my taste for exactly what I want is becoming more refined, and my preferences more specific. I like the more adult-size frames and enough power that adds some exhilaration to the riding experience. I also want good functioning front shocks and fat tires. Enter the Viribus Chubby 2

NEWS – Back in the 80s, Honda made a little folding motorcycle known as the Motocompo, a 50cc deal that only sold for a few years in Japan.  Apparently, Honda has decided to pay homage to that horrible design and re-build it as an electric scooter.  Honda asserts that their new gadget, the Motocompacto, has

REVIEW – It’s safe to say that e-bikes are all the rage, but there are so many choices now that it’s a tough decision when it comes to dropping $1,000 or more on a bike.  So which features are the most important?  Battery life? Comfort? Tire size?  It’s enough to make your head spin.  I

REVIEW – The world of e-bikes is growing larger and larger every day. I have been fascinated by them since they started to become more mainstream. When the Oraimo TRCKER 100 (yes, it’s spelled that way by the manufacturer) came up for review, I knew I had to jump at the chance. Boy, am I

REVIEW – I’ve been curious about fat tire bikes for a while so when Hiboy offered their P6 Fat Tire electric bike to review I decided to give it a try. Let’s see what the Hiboy P6 Fat Tire Ebike has to offer. What is it? The Hiboy P6 is a fat tire electric bike

REVIEW – I’ve reviewed or purchased several electric bikes over the past few years, and I’m starting to fully comprehend how diverse the market is these days. There are bikes catered to commuters (some needing to carry or pack the bikes into transport or storage areas), delivery drivers, recreational enthusiasts, adventure seekers, and the truly

REVIEW – Every once in a while here at the Gadgeteer, we get a product sent to us to review that isn’t just great, but so great it becomes a part of our everyday life. Velotric’s new Packer 1 cargo ebike came to me just as we were outgrowing our previous ebikes with our new

REVIEW – While we’ve reviewed quite a few electric bikes here at The Gadgeteer, not many of them so far can go much farther than ~40 miles on a charge. If you end up riding more than that between charges, you’re likely to end up with a dead battery, and a 60-80 pound bike can

REVIEW – A couple of years ago we got e-bikes after hearing all our friends bragging about all the fun they were having with their e-bikes. And we learned real quick how much fun these things are! We got folding e-bikes from Lectric because we wanted to be able to take them places in the

REVIEW – We tend to get a slew of electric bikes to review here at The Gadgeteer. There are so many manufacturers and models these days. Some look like traditional bikes while others look like they belong in a utopian sci-fi movie. The Euybike S4 long-range moped-style electric bike comes along, does something a little

REVIEW – When my co-reviewer Mason needed to have his car repaired, and we knew it would be in the shop at least 10 days, we asked to review the ENGWE X26 e-Bike as an alternative way for him to get around. He really liked the back rack with seat cushion and the overall look

REVIEW – With climate change and car-choked city traffic dominating the news, moving to a bike has never been more in the public consciousness. While I’ve been a biking advocate for years, I’ve never owned an eBike. I finally was given one, the KBO Flip, to review, and I have thoughts. These are shared below.

REVIEW – When I reviewed my first e-bike, the TurboAnt Thunder T1, in 2021, I instantly became enamored with the world of e-bikes. After riding over 1700 miles on the Thunder T1, I decided it was time to explore other options in the e-bike market. That’s when I got a review offer for the Heybike
