The US electric bike industry has already seen a regulation-heavy start to 2025. Now, New York Governor Kathy Hochul’s potential new restrictions on fast and exceedingly heavy electric bikes could add to the proposed and enacted legislation we’ve seen lately. Hochul proposed in her State of the State address yesterday that Class 3 electric…

A new bill submitted to the Oregon Legislative Assembly seeks to ban street-legal Class 3 electric bicycles from bike lanes in the state.

Sixthreezero’s wide range of electric bike models includes some fairly out-there models, but the company’s new four-wheeled electric bike really charts a new direction in the industry. Take a look at the new ANYterrain Stabilized 4-wheel Electric Bike. It’s a mouthful of a name, but the ANYterrain Stabilized 4-wheel Electric Bike hauls more than…

There’s nothing worse than a weak cargo e-bike that struggles on hills and under heavy loads.
