Ever since the federal government gave up on including electric bikes in its broader electric vehicle incentive programs, alternative incentives at the local and state levels have been met largely with success—except, of course, in California. In stark contrast to most other incentive programs around the US, California’s partially developed program has spent years in…

Bosch may be big in the world of electric bikes, but thanks to one endeavoring electric bike manufacturer, it just got a whole lot bigger. That’s because DirtySixer has now launched its oversized e-bikes with Bosch mid-drive motors. The eDirtySixer rolls on the biking equivalent of massive wagon wheels sized at either 32″ or 36″,…

At just 37 lb (16.8 kg), the Tenways CGO600 Pro is pretty darn lightweight for an electric bike. Of course, you give up a lot of the features and performance many riders have come to expect of chunkier e-bikes, but the tradeoff leaves us with a lightweight ride that is still punchy enough for most…

In a perfectly Parisian solution to the expected influx of tourists for the Olympic games, and the resulting traffic, city officials have been hard at work. And the answer has proven to be getting half of those wheels off the road. Paris has spent years doubling down on its two-wheeled solution, pushing larger cars…

The TK1 folding electric trike from e-bike brand Mooncool is yet another new entrant into the quickly growing segment of full-size electric trikes.

The Austin, Texas-based electric bike maker MOD Bikes has just announced the launch of its latest model, the new MOD Berlin e-bike. It may be a commuter-class electric bike, but that doesn’t mean it hasn’t come ready to compete. Sticking with the “everything is bigger in Texas” adage, all of MOD’s electric bikes share…

Wallke’s electric bikes have never shied away from high-power motors or heavy duty frames. But with the Wallke X3 Max, the company doubled down to give us twice the motors for an all-wheel-drive ride. We’ve seen all-wheel-drive electric bikes before, but when you combine the dual drive with fat tires and full suspension, you…

I’ve spent many years covering just about every awesome light electric vehicle that has come out of China, from e-bikes and e-scooters to more obscure rides like electric three-wheelers and more. After over a decade in the digital trenches, I’ve felt mighty overdue for a firsthand look at where these fun and functional personal electric…

Michigan’s Mackinac Island has introduced a new speed limit for electric bicycles, slowing down one of the only motorized forms of transportation in the town. Mackinac Island, located between Michigan’s upper and lower peninsula, is known as one of the few car-free towns in the US. The historic city is devoid of privately owned…

If a proposed new bill eventually becomes law, higher-speed electric bicycles may soon have a tougher row to hoe in California. Electric bicycle speeds in the state, which uses a similar three-class system as most of the US, are limited to either 20 mph (32 km/h) for Class 1 and 2 electric bicycles or…
