Electric Bike

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

  REVIEW – Electric Bikes, more informally known as e-bikes are continually showing up on bike paths, trails, and even roads throughout the country. They provide an easy way to enjoy the fresh air and scenery of the outdoors without taxing our bodies too hard in the process. With the heybike Mars, you can just

REVIEW – Over the past couple of years I have been trying to get back into cycling a little bit. Do you know what I have discovered? Pedaling a bicycle is hard! After assembling the Velotric Discovery 1 eBike and taking it for a spin, I found this marvel can take away some or all
