iGO eXtreme 2.0 Electric Fat Bike Review Part 2: Ride & Range Test [VIDEO]

by 2 Comments

After many miles of testing the iGO eXtreme 2.0 it has proven to be a powerful eFat bike with good range and a well rounded accessory package.

With 4″ wide fat tires and a 500 watt motor the iGO eXtreme 2.0 will tackle sand, snow, mud, and pavement and is also fully equipped for everyday commuting and exploring.

Its 48V 13ah lithium battery provides good range (see range test results below), especially given that it is an electric fat bike, whose larger, heavier tires tend to reduce range compared to non-fat e-bike models with similar spec.

The iGO eXtreme 2.0 is priced at $1,999 with free shipping in the US and Canada.

Electric Bromptons Compared: Brompton Electric, Swytch, Nano, & Velospeeder [VIDEO]

by 27 Comments

The Brompton is simply one of the best folding bikes in the world.

From being an idea conceived in a London flat by engineer and designer Andrew Ritchie back in 1975 it has become one of the world’s most popular folding bikes.

It’s success is based on the fact that not only does it fold quickly down to a very compact size of 60 x 59.5 x 28 cm (around 100 litres volume) but it is also an incredibly strong bike that rides pretty well too, given its small 16” wheels.

There are a number of electric options around, most notably Brompton’s own version.

As this was rolled out from 2017 there have been many other retrofit options developed in the preceding years and newer options like the Swytch, for the more budget conscious, continue to hit the market.

Here we take a look at four options we have tested first hand, all of which have their own pros and cons which we detail.  [Read more…]
