It’s certainly encouraging to see some of the mainstream bicycle manufacturers entering the electric bike market, especially if they’re bringing in innovative ebikes, or with their economies of scale, they can lower their retail prices to benefit consumers. Falcon Bikes have 80 years of history, a British Heritage and a…
The Zephyr E-Trek comes in two models, the men’s bike with a stand cross-bar and the lady’s with the step-through crossbar configuration. Why would you buy an E-Trek? Well, you wouldn’t if you want a bike which primarily does off-road, you’d probably opt for the Zephyr E-lite. If you want…
I have to admit I love this bike. When electric bikes first hit the market they were ugly, heavy, clunky. They were for middle-aged commuters really (like me!) who wanted to be green and cool. More recently, of course, we’ve seen some stunning electric bikes released that you really wouldn’t…
I speak to a lot of people about electric bikes because I visit businesses where they’re sold, and also talk to cyclists at exhibitions and shows. One thing that strikes me is that there isn’t a typical electric biker. There are enthusiasts and they tend to be a male between the age…
I’m not a fan of folding bikes, here’s why…I don’t need one! But I’ve got several friends who have one and they literally love their folding bike.

If you’re considering buying a Mountain Bike with an electric motor for assistance – I don’t blame you! While hardcore mountain bikers might look down their noses at someone using assistance to get up the mountain (some even look down on people…
We did a review of the All Seasons E-Compact in 2016 when it scored 8.4/10 our “Best in Class 2016” folding ebike, and one of our highest scoring electric bikes reviewed to date. The reasons it lost out on the extra 1.6 score was mainly due to the weight, lack of a…
There are not many full-size ebikes in the under £1000 price range, and when there is you have to start looking for what compromises they’ve made to be able to sell at that price. But, in fact, the Aerobike X-Ride and Aerobike X-Ride ST haven’t compromised on too much, they’ve just…
