Part 1 – E-Kickscooters, Powered Cycles, & Speed Pedelecs
E-bikes have seen a huge rise in popularity in recent years so that many more people are aware of what they are and how they can work.
In summary they have all the advantages of a regular bicycle with the added power of a relatively small but very effective motor whose power output and maximum assist speed are limited by law.
But in fact there are many more designs of vehicle out there that are (legally speaking) classed as e-bikes but frequent interesting but often very specific niches or perhaps vehicles that are not e-bikes legally speaking but borrow many of the elements of their design i.e. small but powerful motors and lightweight lithium batteries.
These are many and varied, from the relatively well-known e-kickscooters and speed pedelecs to emerging classes of vehicles such as e-micro-cars and quadricycles that have the potential to radically change the transport scene in our towns and cities.
In this first of two articles we take a look at the relatively well-known e-kickscooters and speed pedelecs and the lesser known Powered Cycle category. [Read more…] about Beyond the “Electric Bicycle”: Part 1 [VIDEOS]

Mid-drive motor folding e-bikes are pretty rare and ones with the highly-rated Gates carbon belt drive even rarer, so it was a pleasure to check out this take on just such a thing, courtesy of UK company Volt.
From being a humble startup several years ago, Volt are now one of the most widely distributed e-bike brands in the UK.
Whilst this has been based on affordable yet good quality hub motor machines in the past, the fruits of Volt’s collaborative efforts with Shimano are now bearing fruit in the form of this funky looking mid-drive e-folder, the Axis.
The Volt Axis is priced at £2999.00.

After many miles of testing the Priority Embark it has proven to be a fun and lively eBike with a smooth and quiet ride style.
Like other Priority bikes it has a focus on being low maintenance so you can focus more on enjoying the ride.
The drive system combination of the new quiet Bosch Active Line Plus mid drive with the Gates Carbon Drive belt, and enviolo CVT hub is a big highlight of this eCommuter.
The Priority Embark is priced at $3,999 and that includes shipping and assembly from Velofix or a local bike shop.
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…] about Priority Embark Electric Bike Review Part 2: Ride & Range Test [VIDEO]
