How would you describe the differences in comfort, performance and handling of a mountain bike vs a city bike on the streets and greenways please? I have never ridden a mountain bike and my city e-bike is not comfortable with fit or ride. In theory the mountain bike should be better handling...

In the last couple days I have discovered two bikes that I don't recall seeing on EBR. One is a new electric and the other is non-electric. Both made in the U.S. with extraordinary design and apparent build quality. Budnitz is hand made and they must have an exceptional cult following. (...

I am starting the research process to sell my Giant LaFree+1 (I don't dislike the LaFree. It just doesn't fit) and upgrade to a different City Electric or Mountain electric bike. I know nothing about Mountain bikes but perceive that with all the suspension built into the bikes the comfort level...

I am looking at the Specialized Como 4.0 or maybe 5.0. I am a senior male, 190 pounds and 5'10" tall. The test model I rode was a 3.0 Small. It felt comfortable but I am concerned that after I buy it and use it awhile I might feel cramped. All of the size charts indicate at my height I...

I haven't been able to get to the EBR start up page for several weeks now. When I try to get to the www.electricbikereview.com address the bar scrolls about half way and stops. I don't know of any other site out of hundreds I visit that this happens. I have tried to use the CONTACT form to...
