This project appeared primarily due to the growing distance of my trips. Starting my tests with a 250W mid-drive model equipped with a 14Ah 36V battery on city streets, I soon realized that the mileage of 50-60km (30-37miles) on a single charge is not always enough. As a result, while carrying out the out-of-town tests, including the off-road tests, I had to transport the bike to the test site in the back of my GMC Sonoma pickup. In my opinion,…

A simple paint scheme? Cylo is a brand-new startup on the Portland, Oregon, bike market, the co-founders of which…

Vekkit launches a two-speed kit for the e-bike. The first speed mode has more power and speeds up to 15 km/h, and the second speed mode has a higher speed and uses less power.

Most of the top tube, or rectangle, in this case, is a battery pack….
