E-Bike News: Mid-drives with New Tech, Porsche and DYU E-bikes and Lots More!

Electric bike news 2nd June

How far will automotive and motorbike tech be integrated into e-bikes? Much more in future if Niche and Pendix have their way. They feature in the headline story as they are both seeking to replace traditional bike gearing, be it in derailleur form or hub gear form, with a single mid-drive unit. Niche are even claiming to do it solely by electronic rather than mechanical means. It sounds revolutionary but is it a solution to a problem that doesn’t exist? Today’s e-bikes are very good technically speaking and many aspects of bike and e-bike technology have improved out of all recognition over the past few decades – arguably the real holy grail is new battery chemistry that could lead to much lighter and quicker charging e-bikes. Perhaps in heavy duty applications these new ‘all in one’ mid-motor designs could find a use but that is still a niche genre of e-bikes, though a rapidly growing one.

In this week’s e-bike news:

  • ‘Revolutionary’ new mid-drives from Niche and Pendix
  • New e-bikes from Porsche and DYU
  • New, three e-bike folding and tilting rack from Thule
  • Amsterdam; microcar wars explained

EUYbike S4 Review, 2023 | Moto Looks; Moto Power

A seriously speedy and stylish e-moped that can be bought at a steal!

EUYbike S4 Review 2023
Listen up, adrenaline junkies! The EUYbike S4 just rolled up. This super-fast and fierce-looking e-moped brings the heat when it comes to balancing price and performance. We take a look at it specs, features, real-world performance as measured in our standardized tests, and more in this EUYbike S4 review!

First things first, the S4 puts the moped in “moped-style e-bike.” With an insane 1000W rear-hub motor, it doesn’t just blur the lines between the two types of vehicles – it runs right over them. On the plus side, it also puts the demon in “speed demon.” This bike can move!

Thanks to its full suspension and thick, padded seat, the S4’s ride is casual, comfortable, and smooth. We covered well over 100 miles across several days in our testing, and it checked all the boxes for a fun, comfy ride.

We at Electric Bike Report expected this bike to be priced much higher than its current cost of around $1500. With moped-style e-bikes being all the rage these days, friendly competition in the industry has done its job. The S4 is awesome value for its price tag!

Keep reading as we dive deep in this EUYbike S4 review!

E-Bike News: Evelo Record Breaker Sales Offer, Yamaha US only e-MTB and lots more!

Electric bike news 26th May

It’s often the small news snippets at the end of our news column that can point the way to future trends. In this week’s news it’s the incredible news that e-bike sales in Germany are set to overtake conventional non-electric bikes. And as usual the seemingly great news does pose some awkward questions; what will happen to those who want to ride non-electric bikes in future if they end up becoming a quaint rarity? Is the industry truly green if it replaces bike journeys rather than car journeys? For now it’s clearly still a massive success story and a very welcome one, but to take it to the next level of undreamed of success e-bikes and light electric vehicles need to start replacing car sales – there is some suggestion this has happened on a very small scale in Germany; the technology is here but the political will to make cities and towns more bike and light vehicle friendly is still very variable.

In this week’s e-bike news:

  • Record breaking Evelo Atlas sales offer
  • Yamaha YDX Moro – Yamaha celebrates 30 years in the US with high end eMTB
  • Tucker take on Rambo e-bikes for outdoorsmen
  • New off-road e-trikes for the UK
  • Aura smart lighting system kickstarts
  • Germany’s ‘folding’ electric microcar road tested
  • German e-bike sales set to overtake non-electric ones

Comfort, Power and Simplicity – Relax and Enjoy the Ride

Evelo Omega Review 2023
Our review of the Evelo Omega electric bike covers what makes this a powerful and easy-to-ride cruiser any rider will enjoy. Wouldn’t it be great to have an e-bike that shifts gears on its own, and all you have to do is pedal and enjoy the ride? That’s what you get with the Evelo Omega – an automatic gear shifting transmission that takes the worry out of finding the right gear. And making your ride even easier, the Evelo Omega features a powerful mid-drive motor that kicks out enough torque to get you up those hills, so all you have to do is ride.

Sporting that European look, the integrated battery and sleek contours are inviting, as if the bike is saying it’s made for you.

Further complementing your enjoyment is the comfortably designed ergonomics of the frame, seat and cockpit. When sitting behind the handlebar you will feel like you can ride all day. And with the advanced battery supplying power to the motor, this bike can take you on a single charge for up to 60 miles.

The step-thru design, and powerful motor of the Evelo Omega makes this a cruiser for a broad range of riders, whether you’re an experienced rider, a novice, or someone who hasn’t hopped on a bike in years (or decades), this is an e-bike that almost anyone can commandeer and enjoy. Read on to learn more about the results of this e-bike in our performance tests, and discover whether this is the right electric bike for you.

Pedal Core Electric Bike Review, 2023

Full Suspension, Speedy Motor, and Seating for a Friend Enables This Bike to Offer More Fun Per Mile

Pedal Core Review 2023
Amidst the surge of new e-bikes hitting the scene, one could argue (and complain) that a lot of these new e-bikes look and ride similarly. But breaking the mold on this the new Pedal Core, a fat tire, moped-style e-bike hosting some unique features that really make this bike standout. Tailored to whet the appetite of adventurers and off-roaders, the Core hosts a unique suspension design that is inspired by the motorcycle world.

Riding on inverted, “upside down,” forks and dual coil shocks, the Core handles bumps, ditches, rocky and sandy trails better than many of the so-called “all-terrain” e-bike out there. Not only does this bike give you a smoother ride in the dirt but the suspension also handles carrying a passenger on its long seat, and cargo, on the optional rack that’s available.

Helping the Core break free from its seemingly indistinguishable brethren in the e-bike community, this bike’s suspension dominates the terrain with its powerful Bafang 750-watt motor, helping reaching speeds up to 32 mph, when set in Sport Mode. Providing the much-needed energy to go further, its 15 amp-hour (672 watt hour) battery can take you upwards of 50 miles on a single charge.

Whether you’re a new or experienced rider, if you’re looking for a way to break the mold of monotony of moped-style adventure e-bikes, then the Pedal Core is a bike you should take a longer look at. We’ll go over all the pertinent details here, including the results from the gauntlet that is Electric Bike Report’s testing regimen . After finishing reading this Pedal Core review, your mind should be pretty set on whether or not the it is a bike you’d want. So please read on.

Troxus Lynx Review 2023
In this review of the Troxus Lynx electric bike, we cover the details on this versatile e-bike that is great for commuting, running errands and having fun. This rugged, fat tire, step-thru e-bike is easy for almost anyone to hop on and ride around town, on the bike path and even the campground.

Its motor packs a good punch, speedwise, and the overall handling and control is simple to master. The Lynx looks like a trail bike, with its fat tires and rugged look, and will appeal to anyone who wants an e-bike that can hold its own on any terrain. Setting this e-bike above the pack of other fat tire e-bikes is its adjustable seat, meaning anyone between the height of 5’0” to 6’2” can sit at a height that’s comfortable for pedaling.

We discovered a lot about the Lynx when our team tested its performance, comfort and features through nearly 200 miles of riding. So if you like the look of the Troxus Lynx, and you think this might be the electric bike for you, then you will want to keep reading this review and learn more about what we discovered from our rides and our performance analysis.

E-Bike News: Urtopia Chord, Huge Rover 6 Discount, DYG King 750, Winora E-trike and Lots More !

Electric bike news 18th May

Is there too much ‘sameness’ in the e-bike world? The many hundreds of e-bike brands that the internet is awash with can seem samey, especially if you’re not really interested in technical differences – this is especially so at the budget end of the market where the companies will be using off the shelf frames rather than designing their own as many of the premium brands do.

Whilst this sameness keeps prices down – obviously no bad thing in itself – it can make it hard to pick a distinctive e-bike and perhaps of more concern to pick a reliable brand with a good sales track record. This week, along with e-bike launches that do, at least on the surface, resemble other e-bikes, we also have details of Urtopia’s curvy, high tech offering that certainly does stand out from the crowd (and won’t break the bank) and of Winora’s very capable looking, premium e-trike. Long may diversity continue!

In this week’s e-bike news:

  • Urtopia Chord – an organic-looking yet high tech e-bike
  • RadRover 6 Plus massive discount
  • DYU King – a value-priced e-fat bike
  • Winora e-trike makes it to the UK
  • PVY budget e-folder fat bike now crowdfunding
  • BBC journalists set up e-cargo bike as solar powered broadcast centre
  • Battery recycling update

NIU BQi-C3 Pro E-Bike Review, 2023

Well-hidden dual batteries on this clean, classy-looking commuter e-bike with speed and simplicity.

NIU BQUi-C3 Pro Review 2023
The BQi-C3 Pro is one of the first e-bike offerings from the Chinese company NIU (new). Prior to the release of this model, the brand established itself globally as a manufacturer of electric mopeds and scooters with customers in over 50 countries. In this NIU BQi-C3 Pro review, we take a look at this unique e-bike’s specs, performance, ride feel, and more!

Visually, this bike presents itself in clean, sleek style. The BQi-C3 Pro hosts TWO batteries that are fully integrated into its step-thru frame, giving it one of the most polished appearances we’ve seen on a dual battery setup. This, combined with the flashy two-tone paint job and a ring-shaped running light around the bike’s headlight, gives the bike a futuristic look that we can’t get enough of.

In addition to looking good, those dual batteries give the bike an incredible range. NIU’s website advertises that the bike can travel between 60 and 90 miles on a single charge, and our testing fully supported this claim.

The bike’s step-thru frame also makes it one of the most accessible e-bikes we’ve seen, with a standover height of just 12.6 inches! This feature makes the bike easier to use for riders with limited mobility or for commuters wearing business attire.

Curious to know how this bike handles and performs? So were we! Continue on to our full NIU BQi-C3 Pro review below.
