The Ride1Up Roadster is the lightest ebike we’ve ever reviewed, but it may also be the sexiest- especially if what you’re looking for is an ebike that profiles more like a traditional single-speed road bike, albeit one with a swift 350W motor capable of speeds of 24mph. At only $1045 the Roadster is the most…

A beautifully designed ebike that pushes the boundaries of bike tech To say that VanMoof’s ebikes are just stylish would be an understatement. These visually stunning electric bikes are in a league of their own when it comes to the eye test, but looks aren’t the only thing the VanMoof S3 and X3 have going for them….
Juiced Bikes Camp Scrambler Review: The adventure ebike that tackles most off-road terrain and also shines on city streets.
