Electric Bike

REVIEW – I am guessing that by now, most of the Gadgeteer readers following my e-bike reviews have seen a few recent reviews from me. I am deep into the e-everything phase having reviewed quite a few clean energy products. I am also getting more into bike riding and so looking forward to the Spring […]

REVIEW – Here I go again getting all excited and energetic about my newfound or maybe reenergized passion for bike riding and what I plan to do as a part of my weekly exercise once the New York weather breaks into a warm Springtime. If you have read my previous e-bike review, you already know

REVIEW – If you have read my previous e-bike reviews, you already know that I have been putting a lot of effort into new and sustainable health initiatives as I plan my journey toward retirement. One of the initiatives is to incorporate regular bike riding into my weekly exercise routine (once it gets warm of

REVIEW – One way to stay healthy and enjoy the great outdoors is to go trail biking.  Sometimes, however, we need a little help, whether it’s climbing a steep hill or finishing that last extra mile.  The perfect bike for trips like this is a fat tire eBike, and I’m hoping that the VANPOWERS Manidae

REVIEW – I previously reviewed a bike conversion kit from Swytch late in 2019. It was a well-thought-through system that converted your existing bicycle into a pedal-assist e-bike. I was very impressed at the time and so three years later when they announced a new and updated version, I was keen to find out exactly

REVIEW – Ever since I had my first banana seat with a flower basket on the front bicycle, I have always loved to ride bikes.  After I graduated from college, I got my first real road bicycle, a Specialized Allez Comp.  I rode that bike on several MS 150 rides and made some lifelong friends

REVIEW – The Velotric Nomad 1 e-bike is a new model from Velotric Bikes. Its fat tires are matched by a well-built, substantial frame. Plain road bikers with their synthetic bike shorts and featherweight bikes they can lift with two fingers may scoff as I pass, as I sit comfortably upright, not sweating, not pedaling

REVIEW – Electric vehicles are everywhere nowadays, and it can be tough as a parent to pick out an electric mobility option for a kid or tween with the vast array of choices. Many are dangerously fast for kids, or woefully underpowered, or have a restrictive short range. I’ve seen sketchy scooter and e-bike models

REVIEW – I’ve been riding electric motorcycles and more recently ebikes for almost a decade now. I love electric bikes, especially as a way to get around town quickly and efficiently while still offering the opportunity to get a good workout when I want. We’ve been looking for a while to get a good second

REVIEW – Back in the eighties there was a movie call American Flyers.  The movie had the distinction of introducing Kevin Costner’s mustache as a costar, but for me it rekindled my love of cycling.  Flash forward 40 some odd years and Father Time has been anything but kind.  I still love to get out

REVIEW – I’m out of shape. I admit it. I need to exercise, but I want it to be fun. I’d been thinking about getting a bike because I used to love mine when I was a kid/teenager. I rode it everywhere in the small town where I grew up, but it’s been decades since

REVIEW – Fads come and go in life, remember JNCO jeans? As a lifelong bicycle rider and former bike mechanic during college, you see fads come and go in the bike industry as well. I saw electric bikes as the new air fryer. Everyone is making one but my microwave, toaster oven, and normal bikes
