The bicycle version of a mid-size SUV, the Tern HSD S11 is a cross between a small(ish) cargo bike and a high-speed commuter. The HSD has the stature of a larger folding bike but doesn’t fold (though Tern has devised a creative way to store the bike in a compact space), a rear rack that […]

As the old joke goes, we can predict everything except the future – but that doesn’t stop us trying at Electric Bike Report anyhow. Many of the trends we outlined for 2022 at the end of 2021 did happen – but most weren’t really difficult to predict as they were signalled in advance – think […]

We could hardly wait for our Lectric XP 3.0 review and it’s no mystery as to why. The XP 2.0 has been one of the most popular e-bikes in the e-bike world in the last year. The reasons why it has been so popular are easy to see. It folds up smaller than a dorm […]

This week’s news has a very cosmopolitan flavour; whilst the fat-tired, keenly-priced new offerings from Ride1Up and Aventon are pretty much meat and drink for this website, we only occasionally cover e-bikes not available in the US or UK. So this issue feels like a mini-departure with news of what might be the start of […]

Ride1Up, the maker of some excellent e-bikes like the Cafe Cruiser and the Prodigy, has introduced a new e-bike called the Revv 1. That’s rev as in revving an engine.
