There isn't a menu line item for it yet. Court's aware of it and the forum is still being worked on.

Desktop the EBR link works, mobile does not.
IE is becoming obsolete.
I've switched to Mozilla Firefox long time ago, before Win 10, and have no regrets.
Win 10 includes Edge browser - not my favorite, though it's at par with Firefox. It displays this EBR page properly.
It's hard for me to understand the need to do any substantial research on a small mobile screen. Mobiles are for a quick urgent tasks, they implement their own browsers that are inferior to "big" browsers like Edge or Firefox.
This is why people are making site-specific "browsing apps" to use instead of the built-in browser, and app usually works better for one particular site, but this is un-gratifying work, at some point the app stops working well (or at all).
Use a normal browser on desktop or laptop.

I get the same thing with IE11 on Win 7 Pro, so I use Google Chrome when visiting EBR.

I'm not thrilled with IE, but you can't go back more than one page in Edge, and from what I have read, Chrome and Firefox both have their share of problems. Wouldn't it be nice if just one browser worked for everything without absorbing your information and every site you visit? I might even pay for that. 
Firefox can go back for (at least) 5 pages, maybe more. I am sure there are some flaws in the Fox, but my needs are simple.
In Edge I don't like interface - probably can be customized, but I am happy with Firefox. One huge thing that made me switch from IE to Firefox many years ago, was the ease of zooming fonts bigger-smaller, with a touch of mouse wheel. Back then, in IE you had to do this through drop-menus with fixed zoom levels 25%, 50% etc.
For the OP it's a no-brainer to just use Edge instead of IE, since IE can't display the clicky EBR logo in the left-top corner. No offense, but even the creator - MS - have abandoned IE. They included it in Win 10 as a "legacy browser" for those who for some reason have to use IE. Only I can't think of any good reason

I often browse the forums on my iPad mini, and the EBR logo at top left of the forums pages is "clickable" for me and takes me to the bike reviews... (using Safari browser on the iPad.)
Indeed. Common practice in web design - clicky logo takes you to homepage. This is nicer than adding "Reviews" tab. To think of it, EBR means "Electric Bike REVIEWS".
People using IE can't see EBR logo. This particular browser doesn't display it. Conclusion - stop using IE.
Another way is to cut the "tail" off the URL address, leaving only https://electricbikereview.com. Because, again, https://electricbikereview.com is the homepage. Forum, though popular, is a sub-page. This is also very common in web design - adding dynamic forum page to static home page, to increase traffic.
Though I wouldn't be surprised if some people don't see URL address window, because they removed it from the toolbar or some other user's error. Can't blame Court for that.
