This Week’s E-Bike News Headlines Amflow Announces TL Carbon Touring E-Bike and Multi-Bike Charging Hub Image Source: Laom Wolf Amflow’s new TL is an SUV-style e-bike built to handle commuting, long-distance touring, and trekking, with enough trail manners to venture off-road too. It blends eMTB styling with a more upright, commuter-friendly riding position, and it’s built around a 6.4-lb…

The Carbon Atom suits two very different kinds of rider, and that’s not something I can say about all e-bikes. Experienced cyclists will likely find the torque-based pedal assist settings familiar, responsive, and natural. Riders who want a near-effortless experience, however, can enable Turbo mode and let the motor handle most of the work. Most bikes—even those that offer both torque and…

Achieving a good ride quality is perhaps the biggest challenge of building an Ebike under $1000. As discussed, designers only have so much capital, and certain components are bound to be on the more economical end of the spectrum. This isn’t necessarily a negative, but it does require an adjustment of expectations. Let’s start with the good: The F2 is generally comfortable, and the adjustment is…

Ride quality is a relatively complex subject that factors in a bike’s style, sizing, comfort level, responsiveness, handling, user interface, and more. Overall, I was impressed with what the Tundra brought to the table, though this section will also contain a couple of relatively minor points of critique. Starting with the positives, I found the bike comfortable and enjoyable to ride. GOTRAX…

Ride quality is a measure of how a bike fits, how comfortable it feels to ride, how easy it is to operate, etc. All in all, the Juiced Scrambler stacked up well in these areas; we found much to enjoy and only a couple of minor points of critique. The first, most important aspect of the bike for me was its fun factor: this thing rips! Its motor’s strong, confident acceleration and climbing power…

As a well-designed and robustly-equipped commuter, the Level 4 ADV’s ride quality is great. In comparison to many simpler e-bikes, the topic is more complex in this case; we’ll examine all aspects of the Level’s ride quality below. Beginning with sizing and fit, Aventon offers the Level 4 ADV in a total of five sizes, divided between the HS and ST versions of the bike. The high-step model, which…

Each bike in the lineup features the classic moto-inspiration the brand is known for, with the classic diamond frames, BMX handlebars, and massive headlights, while the bikes better accommodate riders of different…

As we have seen throughout the main test sections above, the Melody’s performance is impressive. Ride quality is another area where the bike stands out; in this section, we’ll examine its fit, ride comfort, motor engagement, handling, and user interface. Starting with sizing, Magnum offers the bike in a single frame size for riders between 4’11” and 6’3”, though this is somewhat dependent on…

The BER has a classic yet distinctive feel. The frame is made from aluminum, but the build quality is high enough that I initially mistook it for carbon fiber. The welds are impressively clean, and the overall weight reinforces that premium impression. A quick note: our test bike included a few preproduction quirks—namely, some visible external cables and extra routing points on the frame that…

Some brands dabble in fat tire bikes, but Mokwheel is an established veteran in the category, and that experience shows in how the Onyx is set up. It hits many of the right notes for what fat bikes are meant to be: stability, confidence, and a planted ride feel. The sizing is mostly excellent. I liked the long wheelbase, which contributes heavily to the bike’s stable, confident character. That…

The Lumen’s frame is excellent. Its Carbon HMF construction keeps things light and confident—our size L test bike weighed just 41 lbs—and it’s available in four frame sizes for a solid fit. Geometry checks all the modern XC/trail boxes, with a 65.5° head tube and roughly 77° seat tube (depending on size). It climbs efficiently, carves through tight turns with precision, and feels playful when you…

The MG Doble is many things, but fun is what’s at its core. JackRabbit has always captured that spirit in its rides, and it’s no different here. From the moment you see it, it looks different, and it rides differently, too. The look is great. There are four frame colors to choose from, and the frame itself has a sharp, distinctive style. The reach is a little long and can feel almost…
