A very enjoyable Bosch motor debut from Tenways. One of those bikes that was very easy to reach for and replace car trips. Not yet perfect, but a great first step into the mid-tier e-bike world for the Dutch brand: www.cyclingelectric.com/reviews/tenw...
How many times already this photo could have been taken. The Times front pages the image and slams Net Zero 🤷🏼♀️ As a species we increasingly have the intellect and survival instincts of a peanut.
Wondered what all the hype around Amflow bikes is about? I took the £8,999 PX Carbon Pro for test and it's unlike anything else I've ridden. Find out why there's pros and cons to that here: www.cyclingelectric.com/reviews/amfl...
A new bump in the road for the long-standing EBCO e-bike brand as parent company TVS Ebike Company AG opts to limit its UK operations. Sources tell me that EBCO is sold out in the UK & no more stock is due. Unfortunately, redundancies have been made. www.cyclingelectric.com/news/ebco-el...
The summer of step throughs continues with a spell aboard the Ampere Deluxe Pro, now upgraded to a mid-motor & challenging at £2,000 >. The generational development across the board in 2026 has driven standards upwards & Ampere's product is no different. www.cyclingelectric.com/reviews/ampe...
@cyclingelectric.bsky.social is a finalist in the BikeBiz Awards for our Demo Day events. I'm proud of this work, and it's validated by the smiles that come with each lap. If one of those smiles was yours, or if you just appreciate the work that we do, we'd love your vote: bikebizawards.com/vote/
A well-equipped e-bike here from @specialized.bsky.social in the Turbo Vado 3 EVO 5 Super bright front light, inductive charging add-on for a phone, huge 840Wh battery, reinforced carrier, Apple FindMy and Watch compatibility to manage security and more. www.cyclingelectric.com/reviews/spec...
We don't often do kit review on @cyclingelectric.bsky.social, but this is a true lifestyle game-changer from Thule. Parking sensors, a tool tray for the built in bike workstand, it folds, has loads of security built in. Not cheap, but epic. www.cyclingelectric.com/reviews/thul...
Tern Bicycles HSD P5i Gen 3 review: Stronger and with more purpose Geoff Waugh has spent the past week using this short-tail cargo for his work and errands and finds a perfect fit for blending seamlessly with his lifestyle. Our review on launch day: www.cyclingelectric.com/reviews/tern...
Happy smiling people. The @cyclingelectric.bsky.social Demo Day series is a wrap for 2026, and I too am smiling. Feel certain that we have created many new riders this year with these experience days. The most rewarding part of my job and I get to ride bikes for a living.
I had a few comments saying if there was demand they would sort it. We'll make it 2/2 journeys today well oversubscribed for tiny space given
Taking a bike on a train in the UK is painful. Between bad design, ultra low capacity & chronic underinvestment in services, I dread the experience. Listening to a confrontation about it as I type. On mainland Europe I'm reminded how it can done. They even have ebike chargers on trains near Venice.
Two simple ideas on one amazing cargo bike, which if you look closely you'll see is both a front loader and a longtail. Will write about this bike on @cyclingelectric.bsky.social next week
A great score for the MiRider 24 GB3 at 4.5 / 5 stars. This bike was specifically requested by bike shops to fill a demand that they felt existed, & has since gone on to be a best-seller for the Wigan e-bike assembler. Chris has this review: www.cyclingelectric.com/reviews/miri...
A few snaps of the design to whet appetites for the review www.cyclingelectric.com/reviews/lemm...
This cannot be fought back against hard enough. Data centre builds could be shielded from judicial review in UK, judged as 'critical infrastructure'. www.theregister.com/systems/2026...
Lots of opportunity to try e-bikes at the past weekend's event, so I jumped aboard a few myself. Here's a few first impressions of the Veloe Multi Lungo cargo bike: www.cyclingelectric.com/reviews/velo...
Sticking with our recent theme of compact cargo bikes, today's review is Velo de Ville's KEB Pro, which being a Velo de Ville was custom-built to Mark's preferences in Germany, then shipped over. Dream bike, yes. Easy to get carried away on price... also yes www.cyclingelectric.com/reviews/velo...
I saw a lot of first-time 'e-bike smiles' at the weekend's @cyclingelectric.bsky.social Demo Day, but no bike nor trike delivered like vanRaam's Fun2Go - a specialist vehicle designed to be a 'social tandem'. These are excellent tools for care projects. www.cyclingelectric.com/in-depth/van...
Cargo bike fist bumps of approval. A moment that made all the team's hard work worth it. Epic first Demo of 2026. Will you join us in Bath, Leeds or London again this summer?
Glorious day for our first London Demo. If you've not yet made plans, come on down and enjoy the sun with us ☀️
In one of my favourite bike tests in a long time, the @ternbicycles.com Quick Haul has been an antidote to high fuel prices, helping me replace every single car journey. If you're in the market for an affordable cargo bike in 2026 make sure you test this one www.cyclingelectric.com/reviews/tern...
Our Sunday electric bike test event has a handful of free tickets available, using the code CEFREE Looking for an electric bike, cargo bike, or trike to help with your mobility? Want to try loads on one world-class track? Sign up here & don't forget to bring a helmet! tinyurl.com/EbikedemoLon...
We all knew that Avinox would deliver on #emtb power, but for me, the gaps forming in pricing structures are a bigger story. Here's why I think Amflow's £3,999 entry price is the biggest story of the week. Geopolitical advantage is now clear: www.cyclingelectric.com/in-depth/cou...
This is a great opportunity. Anyone who attends @cyclingelectric.bsky.social's London or Bath Demo Days this spring and test rides a Velo de Ville will be entered into a draw to win a 6TY in a frame style of their choice. Worth £2,839! www.cyclingelectric.com/news/win-vel...
It's competition time - who wants to win this lovely Abus smart helmet, Alpkit frame bag, Restrap Bar Bag and Muc-Off cleaning kit, plus two free tickets to our Demo Day in London on April 19th? For your chance to win enter here: www.surveymonkey.com/r/ZYLB363
A basic level of quality at the price point between £1,000 and £1,500 has become one of the most sought-after consumer wants when it comes to #electricbikes. With the mid-motor assisted and versatile Pinnacle Momentum, buyers grab a bargain, so writes Mike: www.cyclingelectric.com/reviews/pinn...
Our first electric bike test ride event is just around the corner & it's probably my favourite track - the Lee Valley Velopark outdoor circuit. If you're free on the 19th of April & want to test ride over 150 e-bikes and trikes in one place, here are the tickets www.eventbrite.com/cc/cycling-e...
Meanwhile, as we dose up on war and AI, consequences quietly bubble.
