Last-mile transport

Whether folks are looking for a greener, cheaper last-mile trip to work or just want to get around without being punished by hills, ebikes are proving a popular choice. The latest Class 2 model from iGo is a step-through commuter called the Metro CX.

Peugeot Motorcycles has revealed an electrified version of its 50cc Streetzone combustion-engine scooter that's been motoring around cities for the last 10 years. The e-Streetzone will be available with one or two batteries for up to 112 km of range.

A commuting by ebike that involves hopping on and off trains or buses during the journey can be a whole lot easier if you can fold your ride. Ossby has introduced what's sure to be an attention-grabbing pedal-assist ride that does so in a second.

Premium bike maker Cannondale has launched its lightest ebike to date. The Compact Neo comes with a torque-sensing hub drive and enough frame-integrated battery for nearly 50 miles of urban riding, plus there's a rack out back for hauling gear.

In theory, replacing the family car with an ebike for some journeys could be an attractive option, but the price of entry is often very high. Lectric eBikes aims to provide affordable quality, and such is the case with its flagship XP 3.0 model.

Back in March we took the high-style Fiido X ebike for a test ride. Just a week later, a product recall was issued following reports of the frame snapping in two. Now relaunched, we've been on the road again with the strengthened and upgraded X V2.

Motoring on many electric kickscooters can have riders twisting their bodies to fit both feet on fairly narrow decks. UK-based micromobility company Pure Electric is looking to encourage a more natural stance with the launch of the Advance e-scoots.

We thought we'd seen the last ebike from California's Aventon back in March, but today the company has updated its flagship commuter ebike to the second generation – bringing torque sensing to its range for the first time.

Onyx has unleashed a pair of adventure ebikes designed for off-road thrills and on-street action, as well as air time above both. The LZR "all-terrain hyper slayer" comes with a 70-mile battery and a mid-mount motor offered in two power flavors.

Fat-tire ebikes can be a great way to ride the last mile to work while also being capable of exploring the world beyond the city limits. The Kuattro aims to be a more welcoming fat-tire ride courtesy of a step-through design.
