This is a quick introduction to the Hebb Electro Glide electric bike that is currently in for review at Electric Bike Report. In the video I go over the features of the bike.
I will be doing a full review soon with all of the pros and cons. Stay tuned!
Alright, here is the video: [Read more…] about Hebb Electro Glide Electric Bike in for Review [VIDEO]
Electric bikes make a lot of sense for the individual person getting to and from their job and running errands; not to mention just having fun 🙂
They also make a lot of sense for large institutions like universities and colleges, large and small business, airports, hospitals, national and state parks, etc. Ebikes allow for a convenient way to get around campuses and towns while reducing emissions and in the end saving the organization money.
The following is a guest post from Nora Gildea, VP Marketing at Pietzo Electric Bikes about ebikes on some of the large university campuses. Enjoy! [Read more…] about Electric Bikes Make Sense for University Campuses!
I have ridden many different bikes with the Bionx electric bike conversion kit and I have to say that it is probably the most refined ebike kit that you can buy.
To compare it to cars, it is like the Mercedes Benz of electric bike kits.
This is a review based on a number of rides on the Bionx electric bike kit. This is not an in depth review based on hundreds of miles of use, etc.
I just wanted to let you know what I think of the system based on some ride experiences.
Here is a video about the Bionx system:
Here is a fun ebike video that has some great points about electric biking in San Francisco. It is an ad for a shop in San Fran but it is so well done that I wanted to share it with you. It’s gotta a catchy tune too!
Ebikes make a lot of sense for a hilly city like San Francisco where normal bike commuting would be a sweaty endeavor! Don’t get me wrong, I think ebikes are great for all places, it’s just that for places that have a lot of hills and/or wind they make even more sense.

One of the coolest things about electric bikes is how easy it is to keep them running well and how easy it is to repair them. Cars these days are so complex that even people who used to work on their older cars are forced to take their newer cars to a mechanic for costly maintenance and repairs. Being able to maintain and repair your own e-bike is another way to save money and an advantage over costly car maintenance.
When I see the look on people’s faces after they have gone for an E bike test ride, they are almost always smiling. I think some people like the concept of an electric bike, but it’s not until they through a leg over one and go for a spin that they realized how much fun it can be!
It doesn’t matter if you are an avid cyclist or if you haven’t ridden a bicycle in years. The results are almost always the same. People are excited when they ride an E bike.
I’ve had some serious cyclist friends, who were a little skeptical about electric bikes at first. But once [Read more…] about Take an E Bike Test Ride. You Won’t Regret It!
This is an older video, but the benefits they go over in the video summarize why electric bikes are a great alternative to driving a car!
There are a couple of things that I would like to point out in the video. This is an electric bike conversion kit that the Michael added to his existing bicycle. The kit might look a little “funky” because it is one of the older kits. Today’s conversion kits are a little cleaner.
He also states that he can go up to 35 mph. That speed is too high to be considered an electric bicycle in the US and other parts of the world. The speed limit in the U.S. and Canada is 20 mph and the speed limit in Europe and other parts of the world (with some exceptions) is 25 kmh or 15.5 mph.

Having the right pressure in your tires is important because it will make your bike easier to pedal and it will avoid pinch flats. And nobody likes to get a flat 🙂
In this video I show how easy it is to maintain your tire pressure. Included is how to use both types of valves, shrader and presta, as well as a trick to inflate the tire if the pump is giving you a lot of resistance.

After a few days of intensive testing of the Pedego Classic Crusier electric bike, I have put together this video review for you. This is a real world review based on me riding my normal commute route to work, running errands, and taking it on some steep hills and gravel bike paths. I feel like I really put the Pedego electric bike through it’s paces and I got a great handle on the pros and cons of this bicycle.

Would you like to see better bicycling infrastructure in the U.S.? Would you like to see bicycling recognized more in the U.S.? If so, then you should join me and sign the People for Bikes pledge of support. And don’t worry, it is totally free.
People for Bikes is an organization that is working towards building a massive list of people around the U.S. to show their support of bicycling.
Here are two quotes from the “Our Goals” page on PeopleforBikes.org:
“The goal of peopleforbikes.org is to gather a million names of support, to speak with one powerful voice—to let policy makers, the media and the public know that bicycling is important and [Read more…] about Join Me & Support People for Bikes
