Our Favorite E-Bike Finds At Electrify LA
But it wasn’t just about e-bikes and electrified rides. Several companies brought supporting gear as well—from helmets to flat protection and even a slick, electric lift-assist hitch rack that turned heads.
After two days at the show, some trends in the small EV world stood out. Here’s a look at some of the coolest, quirkiest, and most compelling finds.
Ride1Up
Ride1Up’s booth was constantly buzzing thanks to a wide range of models. Whether it was couples checking out the two-person capable Vorsa, or commuters taking a spin on the refined Prodigy V2, there seemed to be something for everyone.
Other models like the Roadster V3, Revv 1 DRT, and Portola were also on display, offering different sizes, shapes, and weights to suit just about any rider’s preference.
I won’t lie, I was a little jealous our test model of the DRT wasn’t that color.
P 51
But the buzz was all about the newly unveiled Ace. It builds on the Bullet’s strengths while going lighter, more agile, and more refined. It features a tighter wheelbase, battery integrated into the front triangle, an elongated seat, and a new frame-embedded display.
Mokwheel
Known for bundling accessory packages, Mokwheel had a cargo trailer-equipped Obsidian on hand, and also teased something new: the Onyx. It’s a full-suspension, overlanding-style e-bike featuring a long-travel fork and what looked like a 1000W mid-drive Truckrun motor. Expect a release next month.
Cargocycle
The CS is a utilitarian workhorse equipped with a Bosch Performance Line CX motor, 750Wh battery, Enviolo AutomatiQ shifting, and Tektro brakes. It also allows for customizable handlebars (flat, bullhorn, or custom).
The CA, by contrast, is family-focused with an angled cargo box designed for kid-hauling. It offers good cockpit room and clever geometry to prevent the box from colliding with your knees during turns.
Lemond
The Dutch is their step-through cruiser powered by a Mahle X35 rear hub motor. At just 30 lbs, it delivers effortless riding with elegant lines and comfort-focused geometry.
The Prolog leans sportier with its more aggressive geometry but shares the same clean aesthetic, understated tech, and commuter-friendly build.
Dryft
Think of it as a cross between a scooter, skateboard, and bike. With a 500W motor, 698Wh battery, and 20 mph top speed, it’s street legal in most areas. Designed for relaxed carving or urban cruising, it has the makings of a future cult favorite.
Atlas Power Lifts
It’s sleek, functional, and fills a market gap for riders who need help hauling heavy bikes—or want the flexibility of hybrid hauling. Expect availability this fall.
JackRabbit
JackRabbit’s OG and XG models were popular for their portability, peppy motors, and customizable appearance. The XG Pro’s 750W motor and optional range extenders make these tiny titans surprisingly capable.
Custom paint jobs and modded builds added to the brand’s fun-loving, fast-moving vibe.
Speedwell
Founder Ethan (with a background in motorcycles) said his goal was to deliver a complete package—no need to upgrade anything. The show model featured 750W nominal hub motor, front and rear suspension, and Magura brakes. Gorgeous wood accents added style, and their green-and-gold custom bike was one of the most eye-catching rides at the show.
Super73
With a torquier 500W motor and a slightly reimagined silhouette, it’s still instantly recognizable as a Super73.
Tannus
Flat tires ruin rides. Tannus Armor is a solution: a foam insert that sits between your tube and tire, offering a shield against thorns, glass, and debris.
Available in a variety of sizes, it’s a smart addition to any ride—especially if you’re using a rear hub motor (where rear flats are a pain to fix).
