Stromer ST1 Ebike Review

The Stromer ST1 is one of the most exciting electric bikes to be released and one of the best production ebikes I have gotten to test so far.  A complete redesign from last years bike, the Stromer ST1 sports higher quality components than last year’s Stromer, and a price tag of $3,500-$4,000.  For this extra price you are getting a boat load of special features including: Magura hydraulic brakes, regenerative braking, carbon forks, purpose built frame, torque sensor, and all around quality

Pedego Interceptor Review

Pedego has made a name for itself by offering California cruiser style electric bikes that are “fun” and reliable.  The key to the Pedego Interceptor is that it was a pretty fast electric bike for its time. In fact, it was named the “Interceptor” because it was supposedly designed for Police use, and originally only offered in black and white colors. I have yet to hear about any cops riding around on Pedego bikes, but I have seen many Pedego Interceptors with Hawaiian-shirted

Easy Motion Neo Jumper Review

The Neo Jumper is the flag ship, full suspension version of the Neo line of  Easy Motion electric bikes. Recently I got the shocking news that internet friend Kepler from endless-sphere had decided to sell his hot rodded Stealth Bomber which he wrote an EB.com story on a few months back (read that article here). When asked why he decided to sell his 50-MPH super E-bike, Kepler said in part because he had test ridden an Easy Motion Jumper, and

Pedego Trail Tracker Review

Pedego, known for their beach cruiser line of electric bikes, has made the brash move of releasing a Sand/Trail bike, a natural progression for a company that made its start selling beach bikes to the Southern California market. Now you can buy a Pedego Trail Tracker and feasibly have the option of rolling off the strand and onto the beach for some fun off-road, riding in the sand. However, the Pedego Trail Tracker is not well-purposed for sand riding, despite

Juiced Rider ODK-II E-Cargobike Review

The Juiced Rider ODK-II is a unique electric cargo bike that was introduced to the market this month. An electric cargo bike is a useful replacement for a car (read our article), that can actually save you money (read how). Cargo electric bikes have many benefits, and one main drawback is that they normally take a lot of space. The Juiced ODK  has taken a bite out of this drawback by building their cargo bike on small 20-inch wheels, allowing

$350 Electric Bike on Amazon

Amazon is currently selling the Ezip Trailz at a remarkable price of $350 including shipping. This is the cheapest price we have ever seen on a basic electric bike. This price is for the step-through 2013 edition, 24V / 10-Ah. Based on our experience, we think that Amazon is liquidating their step-through frames. If this appeals to you, don’t hesitate, because it will save you $150 over the $500 mens frame. See this bargain electric bike here on Amazon (price may fluctuate). For $20

Hanebrink: The Original Fat Electric Bike

The Hanebrink is an all terrain electric bike with a unique design and  some innovative features.  Most E-bike companies are not offering anything innovative or fresh. Most of today’s E-bikes consist of hastily converted bicycles, made up of all Asian components, and almost always a  hub motor in the rear, and shipped over in a cargo container from China. The Hanebrink is an American  breath of fresh air, a mid-drive bike (although strangely, the motor is a converted hub motor) with a totally different

E-Moto Crosstown $1600 Folding Ebike Review

The E-moto Crosstown, although not flashy or fast,  is an electric bike breakthrough, in that it is a high quality, name brand bike,  has a one-year warranty, and  a lithium battery pack, with the entire package selling at a very low $1600 retail price.  The Crosstown gets it right with some nice feature sets including a step-through folder frame, smart color coordination, fenders, front basket and rear rack.  Ebike component wise this bike is nothing to scoff at, with a
