ebikes

Last September, we heard how the LeMond bicycle brand was being reborn as a manufacturer of ebikes. The company has now released photos of its Prolog flat-bar electric road bike, that reportedly tips the scales at just 26 lb (11.8 kg).

While you could just lock your ebike to a signpost or rack, wouldn't it be nice to park it someplace where it got recharged, and you could store your gear? HAVN was designed to serve those purposes.

A little bit Jekyll, a little bit Hyde, the newest ebike offering from Nox Cycles has a split personality that craves both cities and mountains. The package ties together a city commuter and an e-mountain bike with a swappable all-in-one e-drive.

Tern has announced a new variant of its HSD cargo commuter that's also its first Class 3 ebike. The HSD S11 rocks a Bosch Performance Line motor for pedal assist up to 28 mph, and a battery big enough for as much as 74 miles between charges.

We've covered a lot of bikes this year. But rather than putting together some sort of practical, affordable buyer's guide, we thought it'd be interesting to highlight the fresh and left-field design ideas that broke new ground in 2020.

Arizona mountain bike maker Pivot Cycles has announced an update to 2017's Shuttle eMTB, which comes with a lighter, more efficient motor and a big battery for the promise of "class leading power, range, and big mountain capability."

The Scout camper presents an interesting way of hitching together an ebike camping rig, towing as an unassuming box trailer before flipping open into a solo camper that's good for a sheltered night of sleep and comfortable indoor/outdoor basecamp.

Ebike company Biktrix is back on the crowdfunding circuit, working to push its most ambitious ebike yet. The highly configurable Juggernaut Duo can be specced from a modest city commuter to an exploration machine with 150-mile range and 35-mph speed.

Ariel Rider has released a beefy, moped-styled full-suspension ebike with dual batteries for monster range, and hub motors in the front and rear wheels for exceptional off-road capability. The Grizzly's cheaper than we'd expect, too, given its specs.

Helsinki startup Urban Cycles Oy sees a gap in the European ebike market, and is looking to fill it with the Equal ebike. Designed for city streets, the clean-looking ride weighs in at under 15 kg, provides assist up to 25 km/h and rolls for 50 km.

Harley-Davidson's e-mobility venture, Serial 1, has officially announced its first four production models. Now up for pre-order, the ebikes will land in the US and Germany next year and, as expected, they're not cheap.

Nireeka has upped the ante with its most ambitious ebikes to date. The Sierra and Nyx are a pair of lightweight, competitively priced, full-suspension off-roaders featuring high-quality components and Nireeka's gorgeous custom carbon frames.
