EVELO Delta X Electric Bike Review Part 2: Ride & Range Test [VIDEO]

After many miles of testing the EVELO Delta X it has proven to be a sporty and fun commuter / adventure touring eBike with its powerful 750 watt mid drive.

Its smooth and intuitive NuVinci CVT drivetrain makes this eBike easy to ride and use. 

The nearly 3″ wide Schwalbe tires are comfortable and stable and they add some light off road capability to the Delta X that is built on a mountain bike platform. 

The Delta X is priced at $3,899.

EVELO focuses a lot on taking the worry out of buying an eBike online. They offer a 10 day at home trial period, free shipping in the continental US, 0% financing (if you qualify), 4 year/20,000 mile warranty, and support for service and repairs. Plus they have their “Perfect Seat Guarantee”.

In this second part of the full review you will get an idea of the ride characteristics, range test results, pros, cons, and overall thoughts on this electric bike. [Read More…]

Riese & Müller Delite Mountain Rohloff Ride Report [VIDEO]

Is this the most capable off-road e-bike out there?

We have already tried four high quality offerings from Riese & Müller; the New Charger, the Nevo, the Homage GT Nuvinci and the Packster 40 Nuvinci.

Whilst these bikes were all taken off-road to a greater or lesser degree they were not full-on mountain bikes.

By contrast Riese & Müller’s Delite Mountain Rohloff is not only a full-suspension e-mtb but it packs many features that other e-mtbs don’t, including a 1,000Wh dual battery system, Rohloff’s incredibly tough 14 hub gear system (with electronic shifting to boot), powerful LED lights and the option of a chunky rear pannier rack.

It’s totally unique and certainly on paper looks like a candidate for the title of Most Capable Off-road Bike in Serial Production Today.

Does it live up to this label? [Read More…]

Electric Bike Grant Gets Great Response From Swedish Public

By Richard Schrubb

Cities and countries around the world are facing a dual problem: their transport infrastructure is becoming congested and that is causing pollution that in turn poisons the population and is adding to humanity’s contribution to climate change.

One solution has been to encourage businesses and the general public to use electric cars, vans and trucks.

Overall the take-up has been encouraging with growing numbers going electric both in logistics and among private individuals.

Though this is helping clean up cities’ air and may well be reducing global carbon emissions to some extent, electric car, truck and van subsidies are not reducing congestion that is one of the major factors behind cities’ bad air.

Could subsidising e-bikes be the answer to this issue? [Read More…]

By Richard Schrubb

New research from Bristol University in England suggests that riding e-bikes might help treat type 2 diabetes.

Type 2 diabetes, where the body has difficulties digesting sugar, is a condition associated with affluence and is one of the biggest public health issues in the Western world.

It is estimated that more than 3 million Americans are diagnosed with it every year. The most common factors leading to it are lack of activity and a high calorie food intake. 

Ashley Cooper is Professor of Physical Activity and Public Health at the Centre for Exercise, Nutrition and Health Sciences at Bristol University. [Read More…]
