    Heybike Venus (Official EBR Review)

    We just reviewed the Heybike Venus, a new dutch style commuter/cruiser from Heybike. To be honest, the bike surprised us with how well built it is and how well it rides - this model really showcases how far Heybike has come in the past few years with the quality of their bikes. I even had my...

    Aventon Current EXP Electric Mountain Bike (Official EBR Review)

    Aventon just released a carbon fiber (front triangle only), full-suspension eMTB - the Aventon Current. This is something they have been working on since before they launched the Ramblas, and we were stoked to get to go ride the bike for a day in Arizona and then spend another 100+ miles on the...

    Velotric Tempo (Official EBR Review)

    Velotric just released a new lightweight city commuter, the Tempo. Overall we were very impressed with the bike, and highly recommend it to anyone looking for this style of e-bike. At just over 39 lbs, the bike rides incredibly well and the rear-hub motor feels more powerful than expected (but...

    Class 2 ebike with Bosch motor and belt drive, plus ....?

    You won't currently find a Class 2 e-bike equipped with a Bosch motor - that's not something they have done yet. We've been pushing them for a few years now to add throttles to their city/commuter/trekking bikes, but we haven't seen one yet from them.

    Riese & Müller stops sales to the USA

    Hey everyone! Let's move the discussion about politics (specifically the DC politics) out of the Reese and Mueller thread, so we can keep this thread helpful to those who own, or have questions about Reese and Mueller. Here is where you can post non-ebike related topics. And, as always, please...

    Spam Posts

    Yes, we do actively moderate the forum and try to limit who joins. Spammers are getting better (and more proliferate) thanks to AI and what they can do with it. We'll keep trying, but also want to thank everyone who helps us by reporting those SPAM posts!

    Yes we have been getting attacked for the past 3 weeks. We do only manually approve new users, but some of them are answering our questions legitimately, which is causing problems. We are looking to make that application to join a little mor robust to try and prevent this from happening. We...

    RIP m@Robertson - Tale of Two WHeels

    We could look at doing something with all of his content. Do we know who is the rightful owner of said content? We are not looking to steal his content, but it is also sad if it just drifts off into the Internet Abyss and is never seen again.

    Frequent access problems: “Oops! We ran into some problems"

    All, we apologize for the issues with the forum lately. We have been getting spammed by AI bots as some of you have guessed. Currently we have blocked the latest bot, so hopefully we are good (at least for a while until the next one attacks). @stompandgo - sorry for not getting that request...

    Lectric XP Trike 2 (Official Review)

    Lectric launched their updated electric trike model a little while ago, and we finally got one in to fully test and review. Overall, the trike improved all the way around while (again) keeping the price low. Currently the trike is priced at $1,499, which is no small feat given the current tariff...
