Ebike Industry Updates

As the old joke goes, we can predict everything except the future – but that doesn’t stop us trying at Electric Bike Report anyhow. Many of the trends we outlined for 2022 at the end of 2021 did happen – but most weren’t really difficult to predict as they were signalled in advance – think […]

We could hardly wait for our Lectric XP 3.0 review and it’s no mystery as to why. The XP 2.0 has been one of the most popular e-bikes in the e-bike world in the last year. The reasons why it has been so popular are easy to see. It folds up smaller than a dorm […]

Exactly what does innovation mean when it comes to ebikes? That’s a question this week’s news seems to be asking. We start by looking at the touted advantages of magnesium frames and move onto a really powerful looking yet lightweight retrofit kit before a final look at a new lightweight hub motor. So, whilst none […]

The electric trike market is heating up with the announcement that Lectric eBikes is introducing a trike of their own, the XP Trike. We don’t have a lot of details just yet, but we do have enough details for a first look review of the Lectric XP Trike that will no doubt alter the electric […]

EBR usually concentrates on e-bike launches and products that are already out there or at least very likely to be launched and in production over the next few months. You may not see a SRAM branded e-bike drive system any time soon but the seeming likelihood of them entering the market is this week’s lead […]

Amidst the boom in e-bike sales, riders are increasingly seeking a lightweight commuter bike that handles like a regular commuter bike, and gives them at least 30 miles of power assist. Responding to their demands, U.S. e-bike giant Pedego sent us the new Pedego Avenue to review. With its lightweight frame, sleek design, and proven […]

This week’s news has a very cosmopolitan flavour; whilst the fat-tired, keenly-priced new offerings from Ride1Up and Aventon are pretty much meat and drink for this website, we only occasionally cover e-bikes not available in the US or UK. So this issue feels like a mini-departure with news of what might be the start of […]

Ride1Up, the maker of some excellent e-bikes like the Cafe Cruiser and the Prodigy, has introduced a new e-bike called the Revv 1. That’s rev as in revving an engine. The Revv 1 is an example of the growing segment of e-bikes styled after motorcycles and mopeds. E-bikes styled after motorcycles and mopeds are growing […]

The original Aventure raised the bar for affordable e-bikes. The Aventure 2 delivers an even better ride experience to what was already a top e-bike option. When it debuted back in 2021, the Aventon Aventure set a new standard for what e-bikers could expect from a fat tire electric bike under $2000. Heck, you don’t […]

This week’s news shows the great variety out there in the e-bike world; we are concentrating on new launches in this issue and have Cannondale’s lightest e-bike yet, a small cargo bike with a rear hub motor, a slighter larger but still very manageable one with a powerful Bosch mid-drive, an all-wheel model from a […]

There are so many competitive e-bikes in the $1500-$2000 price range, it can be hard to build a bike that stands out from the competition. With the LMT’D, Ride1UP made an e-bike with a set of priorities different from what we see with the average commuter or city e-bike. What we will explore in our […]
