Thank you @Court. I probably would not be riding an ebike now if I hadn't found your amazing reviews and forum. I have learned so much! Your review of my first ebike, the Kona Dew-e DL, was instrumental in my decision to purchase one. It has been a great bike. I still remember your video review saying something like "this bike is for the more experienced cyclist" (or similar). That made my decision even easier! Best wishes in all your future endeavors. Hope things will stay as good here with the new owners as they are now.

At least it stays EBR.

Thanks Court and congrats to Justin and Michael.

Long live Electric Bike Repview!

Thank you, Court! I began reading EBR in 2015, and in January 2016 bought my first ebike, an entry-level Magnum Ui5. I kept reading EBR and within six months sold that bike and bought my second bike, a Haibike AllMtn full-suspension with Yamaha motor. It was a huge upgrade, and I made it with confidence due to Court's favorable reviews of Haibikes. I still have that bike and still enjoy it very much. Two years ago I bought a Yuba Spicy Curry AT, a big step up in cargo capacity and range (mine has two batteries). By that time I had learned a lot about ebikes not only from riding my own ebike, but also from the EBR community. Thank you, Court!

Hello everyone!

Many of you have probably seen the announcement we made via YouTube just about an hour ago. If not, you can watch the announcement here:

With the sale of EBR, Court wanted us to share the following with everyone:

------------------------------------------
"After many fun and exciting years of building the Electric Bike Review community, it's time to move on to my next adventure in life. It has been exciting to watch the industry grow since founding ElectricBikeReview.com in 2010 and contributing to that expansion. As the industry continues to flourish, I look forward to seeing the website evolve and progress along with it.

After careful consideration, I chose to handover the future of ElectricBikeReview.com to new owners, Justin Taylor and Michael Clark. You may have heard of them, as they are the owners of ElectricBikeReport.com. I chose to work with Michael and Justin based on what I have seen them accomplish with Electric Bike Report over the last 4 years. I have high hopes and expectations that they will take good care of ElectricBikeReview.com and the amazing community everyone has built here.

While their team has begun handling day-to-day operations, I will be helping them out to ensure a smooth transition.

It has been great being part of the amazing community here, I wish you all the best going forward.

Thank you!"

Court! Dude, I'm sorry to see you go but really happy that you're making a move which I knew will be good for you. It's great news is we have years and years of your wonderful reviews, your websites and all of the people, just like the folks who you've passed this website onto, who grew up under your great patronage and positive energy. I got involved with electric light vehicles when.Lee Iacocca started an electric bike company in 1999. Yikes! I still have that monster in my basement. Yes it was mostly repairs and even after the company failed the third-party company they had chosen for support to the best they could for another two or three years. But anyway, when I came across you, I had moved on to completely total aluminum Ego scooter, which was made by a company in East Boston. A very, very cool ride. In fact, I have two of them, neither one of them work at this moment, but you know how that is! Finally settled on Superpedestrian and the Copenhagen wheel, which was designed at MIT here in Boston. I have not had one single problem with the Copenhagen wheel. Unfortunately, the company changed gears in the middle of the road so to speak and stop supporting the Copenhagen wheel should go on to make Scooters, which they only sell in 500 piece fleets.

Kooky!

Looking forward to your next adventure, and we'll see you in the funny papers, my friend!
