Heybike is well-known as an entry-level electric bike brand, so what is this company doing building a mid-drive e-bike that is leaps and bounds above anything they’ve produced before? That’s exactly what I wanted to find out – and why I decided to become the first to ride this newly introduced e-bike. The ALPHA…

Bosch eBike Systems plans to announce something new at CES 2025, perhaps related to advances in its electric bicycle battery technology. A cryptic teaser video gives a taste of what’s to come.
