Retrospec Koa Rev 2 ST Review | Stable & Simple

This bike has a fun, stable feel to it in it’s shipped Class 2 settings, with a fun and exhilarating ride when switched to Class 3 speeds.

Retrospec Koa Rev 2 ST Review

I’ve recommended many fat tire e-bikes over the years to family, friends, and neighbors—even if that’s not the style they initially indicated they were looking for. Why? Because so many people have remarked on how stable they find the wide tires. I love recommending them to anyone who hasn’t ridden a bike in years (or even decades).

One area where I often hesitated was when the bike was clearly more than the person would need. Not all fat tire bikes are built to split commuting and offroading 50/50, after all, but several are designed with that purpose in mind, so sometimes, when I recommend a fat bike, the features could be a little more than what the person needed.

That’s what was refreshing about my review of the Retrospec Koa Rev 2 ST. This bike is a solidly built, and appropriately-spec’d model that excels at making leisurely trips around town or as a comfortable commuter. It keeps the price low by using more modest components.

The Koa Rev 2 has a 500W motor and a 500Wh battery to match. It’s a pleasant and controlled ride in its shipped Class 2 settings, but it shows a noticeable speed boost in Class 3 mode—a difference I appreciated when I wanted to move faster. The low step-over height, wide tires, and suspension fork make for a smooth sailing experience across either nicely paved roads or bumpier surfaces.

This bike has some wild side to it and will hold up fine at a campsite or on a fire road; people who need a more adventurous ride can consider its upgraded Plus model. It’s uncommon for an affordable brand to offer both a base and an upgraded model, so this is a nice rarity to find.

The bike is easy to maneuver on the roads, weighs under 70 lbs (a rarity for fat tire bikes), and comes in two attractive color options. It’s also available in a high-step model if you prefer a stiffer frame.

To see how it performed in our tests, check out all the details below.

Lectric ONE Review | Stellar Tech At A Shockingly Low Cost!

This diminutive commuter e-bike punches well above its weight class in terms of tech, functionality, and power—all at an approachable price.

Lectric ONE Review

Like most industries, the e-bike market is often shaken when new technology is debuted or when a new model is priced well below the expected and established threshold based on its specs and features.

Lectric, a brand whose reputation was defined by breaking the norm with its highly affordable XP line of folding e-bikes, is no stranger to shaking things up. The ONE is the brand’s latest instance of redefining what is possible at a specific price point—and potentially one of its most impactful.

The Lectric ONE is a commuter e-bike packed with unexpected technology for its price just north of $2k. Most notably, it features a 6-speed Pinion gearbox with electronic shifting and automatic downshifting. It also sports a Gates Carbon belt connecting the gearbox to its lively 750W rear hub motor, making for a smooth, quiet, and low-maintenance experience.

Additionally, the ONE employs a cadence sensor to trigger its motor, using an array of 96 magnets (many others use just 12) for extremely rapid, responsive engagement. Like many of Lectric’s other e-bikes, the bike uses the brand’s PWR programming, which creates a more natural, analog-like pedal experience than traditional speed-based systems.

We were floored when the bike was announced, and our initial test rides showed serious promise. Did the bike hold up to our excellent first impressions? Read our full review below to find out!

Velotric Summit 1 Vs Specialized Turbo Tero X Comparison

Hybrid e-bikes for work and play, but which is best suited for the type of rider that you are?

Velotric Summit 1 Vs Specialized Turbo Tero X

The term “SUV-style e-bike” has gained traction in recent years, referring to hybrid e-bikes designed for both work and play. These bikes combine the practicality of a commuter-capable ride for getting to and from work with the ruggedness needed for off-roading, whether it’s on local greenways or possibly blue trails. While owning dedicated bikes for each purpose would be ideal, most of us have limited budgets and finite garage space, making the rise of this versatile category easy to understand.

Here, we’re comparing two popular options on opposite ends of the pricing spectrum: the Velotric Summit 1 and the Specialized Turbo Tero X. Velotric is an emerging brand in the affordable e-bike space that has made strong impressions with early models, while Specialized is a long-established, celebrated name in the industry.

Let’s approach this comparison with open eyes: this isn’t about declaring one bike “better” than the other. There’s a clear reason the Tero X costs nearly 2.5 times as much as the Summit—it comes with refinements and features the Summit doesn’t offer. Instead, we’ll examine how wide the performance gap is and determine which bike might better suit certain types of riders. After all, “entry-level” rides these days are surprisingly good and the gap is more narrow than you might think, but there might be things seasoned riders still crave on the top end.

First, let’s break down their key differences, starting with the motors. The Velotric Summit features a rear hub motor delivering 750W of power and 90Nm of torque, along with a throttle and the option to use either a torque or cadence sensor. This means it packs plenty of muscle, while offering versatility if you toggle the engagement sensor. You can get a natural-feeling ride for off-road precision with the torque sensor or an easy, relaxed experience for your daily commute by running the cadence sensor.

The Specialized Turbo Tero X (specifically the 5.0 model we tested) is equipped with a mid-drive motor rated at 250W and 70Nm of torque. It’s designed for speed and excels at providing a seamless, natural ride—like a supercharged version of yourself.

While these bikes share plenty of overlap and are both capable of handling diverse tasks, their differences in design and performance will influence which one suits you best. It’s a bit like dessert preferences: my wife loves Black Forest cake, while I prefer German Chocolate. We’re both chocolate cake fans, but we enjoy our experience in different ways. Let’s dive into this comparison to see which bike satisfies your taste buds!

Sixthreezero Announces ANYterrain Stabilized 4-Wheel E-Bike

A four-wheeled e-mobility device with plenty of potential for carrying cargo and navigating paved and unpaved paths alike!

Sixthreezero Announces ANYterrain Stabilized 4-Wheel E-Bike

Electric bike and tricycle brand Sixthreezero has announced a new 4-wheeled e-mobility device called the ANYterrain Stabilized 4-Wheel Electric Bike.

Considering that it has four wheels, we wouldn’t exactly call this model an e-bike, but it is intriguing. Its design blends the rear of a traditional tricycle with the front of a tadpole trike with tilting wheels to create a four-wheeled quadricycle capable of riding nearly anywhere.

The ANYterrain is driven by a 750W hub motor mounted between its rear wheels and is powered by an external, high-capacity 48V, 20 Ah (960 Wh) battery placed behind its seatpost—that’s a lot of juice! It’s advertised to have a range of up to 50 miles on a single charge, though that depends on where it’s riding and who or what it’s carrying.

Sixthreezero equipped the quadricycle with a 7-speed drivetrain, allowing riders to pedal over hills and on paved or unpaved surfaces. It includes a reverse pedal function to enhance overall maneuverability. The ANYterrain also features a twist throttle to provide motor power without the need to pedal and has a maximum speed of 20 miles per hour.

For safety, it is equipped with a hydraulic disc brake system, which should provide reliable stopping power. It also features integrated lights and rear indicators that allow riders to signal turns to other motorists or cyclists on the road. We’re always happy to see turn signals included where there’s already an electrical system!

Its 4”-wide knobby tires provide cushion, stability, and traction on a multitude of surfaces, including asphalt, dirt, sand, and snow. With 20” rear wheels and 16” front wheels, the vehicle should be both stable and maneuverable.

The ANYterrain quadricycle weighs a hefty 120 lbs and has a total payload capacity of 350 lbs. It includes both front and rear cargo baskets, allowing users to carry a load of groceries or other cargo. It features an upright riding position with faux leather grips and a cushioned saddle with an adjustable backrest for comfort.

It also features a step-thru frame design to assist riders with limited mobility when mounting and dismounting. A collapsible stem allows users to reduce the vehicle’s vertical height for storage.

The Buyers can pre-order the ANYterrain Stabilized 4-Wheel for $3499.99. It is available in a single frame size and a two-tone color pattern with orange wheels and a cream frame. Orders will begin shipping on January 15, 2025.

Electric Bike Report’s Take

Regardless of how many wheels it has, the ANYterrain Stabilized 4-wheel Electric Bike is a relatively unique offering from Sixthreezero. We believe it could open up a world of potential for those who need even more stability than what is granted from the two wheels of an e-bike or even the three of an electric tricycle.

We have seen a handful of other brands making similar four-wheeled e-mobility devices, but these are typically recumbent designs with low, reclined seating positions. The ANYterrain’s upright position is more akin to a traditional bicycle or tricycle, though it raises the vehicle’s center of gravity, which could potentially make it feel somewhat tippy (although it was definitely hauling tail in the brand’s launch video!).

We are highly intrigued by the quadricycle’s tilting wheels, which aim to increase its stability; Sixthreezero’s tadpole trike (two wheels in the front and one in the rear) uses a similar design. Logically, the system makes more sense with a single rear wheel than two, though we expect the ANYterrain’s overall weight helps to keep it firmly on the ground.

Due to its overall weight, however, its portability may be hampered. Many e-trikes, including Sixthreezero’s EasyTransit Folding Electric Tricycle, employ folding frames to make them easier to transport. While the ANYterrain’s battery can be removed to make it lighter, its footprint and total weight will likely make transport difficult without a ramp.

Another intriguing feature of the ANYterrain Stabilized quadricycle is its 750W motor, which uses a mounting design pioneered by Lectric in its XP Trike. Based on our experiences with that tricycle—and a couple of others that borrowed the idea—we expect Sixthreezero’s “e-quad” to have a natural pedal feel similar to that of a mid-drive motor.

Assuming the motor is paired with a differential axle (this is unclear), we expect it would also provide excellent traction with its power delivered through both rear wheels instead of just one.

We were somewhat skeptical of the ANYterrain’s 20 mph speed limit, as we have found anything faster than approximately 15 mph on an electric trike can feel unsafe. As I referenced earlier, however, Sixthreezero’s marketing video shows the quadricycle tackling an unpaved dirt trail confidently at speed, so we will reserve judgment until we can test it ourselves.

While it is difficult to predict its maximum range by its specs, we estimate that the ANYterrain could achieve a minimum of 25 miles on a single charge of its enormous 960-Wh battery. With that in mind, the brand’s estimate of up to 50 miles seems plausible, depending on the power level of its lowest assist setting.

Ultimately, the ANYterrain Stabilized 4-wheel Electric Bike seems to have a great deal of potential for riders who need extra stability, the ability to carry cargo, and the power and traction needed for tackling a variety of different types of terrain. It’s a refreshing concept that we hope proves effective!

As always, we can only speculate until we perform our series of real-world performance tests; with any luck, we’ll be able to put the ANYterrain e-quad through its paces in the near future. Let us know what you think of this intriguing four-wheeler in the comments below!

Mokwheel Granite Review | Is This E-Trike Solid as a Rock?

This affordable tricycle delivers great performance and many customization options, though it has its tradeoffs.

Mokwheel Granite Review

Electric Tricycles are ideal for riders who need extra stability, as their three wheels (compared to the two of an e-bike) add an additional contact point with the ground. Our team of reviewers has seen an increasing number of affordable, sub-$2k e-trikes entering the market, with the Mokwheel Granite being a recent entry from a familiar brand.

Mokwheel earned its reputation as a heavy hitter in the industry with its big, burly “Power Station” fat-tire e-bikes whose massive batteries can power or recharge other devices when combined with an optional power inverter. The brand’s lineup also includes lighter-weight commuters, city cruisers, folding bikes—and now an electric trike.

One of the potential pitfalls of designing an e-trike is deciding what type of motor to employ; many models on the affordable side use front-hub motors that are cost-effective but can lack traction and give the feeling of being pulled along. On the other hand, mid-drive motors that provide a more natural feel can be expensive.

For the Granite, Mokwheel borrowed a clever and effective solution pioneered by Lectric on the XP Trike. It uses a 500W hub-style motor mounted between the rear wheels, which is connected to a differential axle. This combination retains the affordability of a front-hub design with improved traction and the more natural feel of a mid-drive.

Additionally, the trike features a few uncommon line items on its spec sheet that stood out in comparison with other similar models we’ve tested. Its down tube carries a relatively high-capacity 48V, 720-Wh battery, which we expected would lend the Granite better-than-average range.

In contrast with many e-trikes that have mechanical brake systems or hydraulic disc systems with only two rotors, the Granite also has a potential advantage. Its Zoom hydraulic brake system utilizes three rotors (one on each wheel), which we expected would result in better-than-average stopping power.

To find out if our predictions for the Mokwheel Granite were correct, continue to the test sections in our full review below!

E-Biking in Edinburgh

*Promoted post by Edinburgh Bike Coop, edited by Electric Bike Report.

Edinburgh is one of the most beautiful cities in the world boasting the historic “Old Town,” including Edinburgh Castle and the Royal Mile sitting above the stunning “New Town,” with gorgeous Georgian architecture. Throughout the city are vast green spaces and miles of cycle paths to explore, making Edinburgh a great city to explore by bicycle, particularly, due to all the hills, an electric bike.

Hollywood Racks Crosstrack Hitch Rack Review | VALUE!

One of Hollywood Racks nicest products to date is one of the smoother operating racks they’ve produced, but still undercuts most of the competition.

Hollywood Racks Crosstrack Hitch Rack Review

Hollywood Racks has long been one of the go-to options for a quality bang-for-your-buck hitch rack. The products are true workhorses; they aren’t the fanciest options on the market, but they’re routinely a few hundred dollars less than comparable models while going toe-to-toe on most features and occasionally going beyond.

Spending less for similar features sounds great, but there is usually a caveat or two to consider. Competitors were typically a little more sleek, and while it could carry bikes of similar sizes, the adjustments when fitting bikes were often clunky. Consider those problems addressed with their latest model, the Crosstrack, all while keeping the ethos of producing a product that undercuts others on the market.

The Crosstrack is a platform-style bike hitch rack that uses two arms to establish contact with the tires. The rack handles bikes up to 66 lbs and fits most tires from 20-29” in diameter and up to 4” wide with a 52” long wheelbase.

With no frame contact and an easy-to-fit tray system, the Crosstrack can be loaded up in seconds, and it works nicely for different styles of e-bikes, from road and gravel to eMTB and city. The front-handle pull system quickly snaps the rack into one of four positions, and once I figured out the best practice for unloading bikes, it was a simple start-to-finish experience getting bikes from the garage to the the trailhead and back again.

This has been an intensive year for me in hitch rack product testing and as is often the case, the drawbacks I could find on the Crosstrack for hyper-specific to the life of a bike tester or somebody who is swapping between bikes with different tire-sizes frequently, but overall, I was highly impressed with the Hollywood Racks Crosstrack after weeks of testing and reviewing it. For all the details, read on!

Canyon Strive: ON CFR Underdog Review | Bet on the Underdog?

One of the most value-packed enduro’s out there with a killer motor, and high quality frame.

Canyon Strive: ON CFR Underdog Review

Rarely do I get too caught up in the naming conventions of the e-bikes I test. Most aim to sound EPIC or come with a backstory that’s either cool or sentimental. But calling something an “Underdog” immediately caught my attention. After all, don’t we all like rooting for the underdog? After several weeks of reviewing the Canyon Strive: ON CFR Underdog, I can confidently say it’s a name well-earned. This bike is scrappy and plucky enough to hang with the big boys.

This bike packs plenty of desirable features, like the carbon frame and the renowned Bosch CX motor, but its spec sheet is geared toward a budget-conscious rider. It’s a bike that punches above its weight, holding its own against top-tier enduro rigs without demanding a sky-high price tag. Canyon also offers the LTD version of this bike, loaded with everything you might want, but the Strive: ON Underdog provides everything you need for a fun and aggressive enduro experience.

The Strive: ON CFR Underdog is both stable and responsive. It has a slacked-out headtube, a steep seat tube, and a long wheelbase for getting rowdy even on speedier downhills. Using a 160/170 Fox suspension and Horst linkage, the bike was very controlled on even technical descents.

Of course, the Bosch motor lives up to its stellar reputation. It delivers punchy, responsive engagement, giving just the right amount of assistance when you need it most. The overrun feature adds a helpful boost even after you stop pedaling, making sure finish strong over steep climbs.

The bottom line: this bike can keep up with any enduro eMTB in your friend group. It’s built on a solid foundation that appeals to everyone, from newcomers to seasoned vets, offering a beefy, capable ride without breaking the bank.

Saris Modular Hitch System Review | The Future-Proofed Rack?

This adaptable system allows you to haul a lot of e-bikes (both in number and weight), and has the versatility to serve cargo-carrying needs as well.

Saris Modular Hitch System Review

Saris’ Modular Hitch System (MHS) is a well-thought-out concept. It’ll grab e-bikers’ attention as one of the few hitch racks out there that can haul up to two 100-lb e-bikes, but that is only the beginning. It’s a hitch rack system that can address today’s needs and adapt to needs that will arise later in life, with just a little forethought required.

There are three different base options to choose from. You buy the receiver with the bike-carrying capacity you need, with room to add more later.

We tested the Saris Modular Hitch System 3+1. We were impressed with how quickly and easily you can load up and carry heavier e-bikes in the first two tray spots and loved the flexibility of taking up to four bikes. Saris has several additional accessories that make life even simpler, like a portable bike ramp, lights that integrate with a vehicle’s brake lights, and a hitch tightener to ensure the heavy-duty system is tightly in place.

Bikes secure easily with no frame contact (your bike’s paint job will thank you), and since they’re modular, you can choose the tray option that secures one or two wheels. The modularity extends to a cargo basket that can replace or line up next to your bike trays. It makes it easier to lug a cooler when camping and still bring your bike along.

Overall, this system was heavy-duty. It was one of the beefier racks we’ve tested, which gives it such a good weight rating, but it also makes it one of the heavier racks to fold up and down.

Overall, we really enjoyed this system. There are just a few caveats to it that you need to know about to determine whether it’ll best suit your needs. All the details are found below in the full Saris Modualr Hitch System review.
