Part 2 – Passengers And Three And Four Wheels Good
In the first part of Beyond E-bikes we looked at trends in the booming world of electric kickscooters as well as what happens when you add more speed or more powerful motors to conventional e-bikes.
Now we’re going to take a look at the range electric vehicles out there that cater for more than one rider as well as exploring the interesting world of three and four wheeled electric vehicles that lie beyond e-bikes but are clearly not electric cars.

Electric Bike Report has already looked at several Riese & Müller models – from the Homage, New Charger, Delite and Packster ranges, all based around Riese & Müller’s unique and practical yet funkily attractive frame designs.
We’ve also taken a close look at the previous Nevo model here and here.
The Nevo design has been updated for 2019 with an inframe battery as standard and the option of a second battery mounted on the down tube.
The GX Rohloff variant is new for 2019, giving an off-road twist to the previous range that was orientated towards riding on hard surfaces and the electronically shifting Rohloff hub gears also add further gearing options not previously available to the ever expanding Nevo family. This model is priced at US $7099 GB £5319.
The off-road facet is combined with the most powerful of the Bosch mid-drives, the Performance Line CX.
The practical and easy to use low step-thru frame remains, now combining it’s excellent commuting, shopping and leisure riding credentials with off-road ability and low maintenance, evidenced by the Gates Carbon belt drive. [Read more…] about Riese & Müller Nevo GX Rohloff 2019 Ride Report [VIDEO]

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]
