Electric Bike

REVIEW – One of the most interesting aspects of writing reviews is seeing how products evolve.  It’s not often that one gets to review the same product twice, but that’s the case here.  Last year, I reviewed the Engwe L20 e-bike.  The bike was OK, but there were some obvious misses.  This year’s version does […]

REVIEW – We all remember our first big kid bikes. That first hour without the training wheels was a real doozy, but once you got the hang of it, I’m sure entire summers were spent on those wheels. A simple joy and a new taste of freedom!  Now I’ll be the first to admit it’s

REVIEW – I’ve reviewed e-bikes of so many shapes and sizes now that I didn’t think another one would surprise me with new features. I was therefore mildly shook when I saw the description of the Freebeat MorphRover Ebike with an included at-home workout station, but I was worried that a package like this would

REVIEW – I am a recent convert to the world of cargo bikes (especially electric cargo bikes). I’ve tried out some models in the past but the huge bucket bikes all handled like whales, while other models were hit and miss for sizing, comfort, and cargo flexibility. Earlier this year, though, I was able to

REVIEW– Heybike, founded in 2021, is a relatively new e-bike manufacturer, that has already hit the e-bike market with many well-received and innovative designs. Their following and customer devotion have garnered quite a community on Facebook, YouTube, and other enthusiast platforms. If Heybike’s latest model, the Horizon – Limited Sunset-Color Edition is as functional as

REVIEW – When the opportunity to review one of the 700 Series E-Bikes from Ride1Up, an E-Bike company started 5 years ago in San Diego created to build affordable E-Bikes with high quality parts, I jumped at the chance. How would the 700 Series compare to a previous E-Bike I reviewed and how would it

REVIEW – With gas prices so unpredictable, I’ve been slowly giving into the temptation of electric bikes. The big thing holding me back is that I need the bike to fit into the rear of a Subaru Impreza hatchback. When I saw the Heybike Mars 2.0, I noticed immediately that the battery was easily removable

REVIEW – Engwe is a well-known brand of e-bike manufacturer. Their line of e-bikes is highly regarded among enthusiasts. Do a quick Google search for “Engwe” and you’ll see hundreds of reviews of their other models, including on The Gadgeteer! Their latest model, the Engwe E26 is the culmination of all their experience and innovation.

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
