    The lightest e-bikes (not folding) -- can't decide which one is the best

    Hello! I have been a bike commuter for almost 7 years. I enjoy each 5-mile ride (one way) but admittedly there are days that I leave my office totally exhausted or sick or days that I don’t want to break a sweat in that hilly ride (ok, it’s not that hilly but…) Anyway, I’ve been looking for a...

    OHM bike thoughts & impressions

    Meet the reincarnation of KITT (for those that watched TV in the 80's ;)) I've had my OHM bike for a few weeks now, and thought it would be good to share some of my thoughts/impressions after logging almost 500km on it so far. Obviously my riding style and preferences won't be the same as...
