The Weekly Recharge from Electric Bike Report

This week on The Weekly Recharge, the CPSC is warning owners of Ridstar Q20 and Q20 Pro e-bikes to stop riding after 11 reported fire incidents — while the manufacturer has refused to agree to an acceptable recall.

We also look at Super73’s all-new A-Series lineup, including three new moto-style e-bikes with different sizes, optional dual batteries, added storage, and upgraded Special Edition models. Plus, Specialized is recalling thousands of Turbo Como SL e-bikes over a potential steerer tube failure.

And this episode is a little different: after more than five years with Electric Bike Report and contributing to hundreds of videos, Griffin is signing off from The Weekly Recharge one last time.

Plus, we talk bike security, answer your questions, highlight the people helping build better local bike infrastructure, and cover this week’s e-bike deals.

This week on The Weekly Recharge, New York City is considering new legislation that could ban the sale, rental, and eventually the use of Class 3 e-bikes.

We also look at new proposals in Europe targeting illegal e-bike tampering kits, Giant and Liv’s new eMTBs with traction control, and an Urban Arrow cargo e-bike recall.

Plus, we check out Monarch’s new smart helmet, rear radar, and tire pressure monitoring accessories, answer your e-bike questions, talk trails, and run through this week’s best deals.

Let us know in the comments: do you think Class 3 e-bikes should remain legal in New York City?

This week on The Weekly Recharge, New York lawmakers are proposing new restrictions on the sale of high-powered e-motos, Honda has revealed a carbon eMTB concept, and Gazelle is expanding its Ultimate lineup.

We also respond to the strong reaction to our N+ Ford Mustang e-bike review. Viewers questioned its $4,000 price, motor performance, comfort, and whether we were too easy on it, so we break down where we think the bike succeeds, where it falls short, and how we approach e-bike reviews.

Plus, we discuss fast charging and battery health, e-bike throttles, Rider of the Week, trivia, riding gear, the Gitche Gumee State Trail, and this week’s e-bike deals.

Let us know in the comments: do you think New York is taking the right approach to high-powered e-motos?

This week on The Weekly Recharge, we’re covering a packed slate of new e-bike launches from Trek, Segway, and Moustache.

Trek introduced two new models, including the ultralight Domane+ SL carbon road e-bike, which weighs as little as 24.5 pounds and can be configured with an optional larger battery for up to 115 miles of claimed range. We also take a look at Trek’s new Inbound+ lightweight city e-bike, which pairs Bosch’s new Hubline motor with removable battery options, cargo capability, and multiple drivetrain configurations.

Segway also unveiled the new Muxi Pro, an upgraded version of the Muxi packed with technology. The Pro adds automatic shifting, front suspension, turn signals, regenerative braking, hill descent control, hill-start assist, traction control, GPS tracking, AirLock, Loss Mode, and more.

We also check out the new Moustache Lundi 27, a lightweight Dutch-style city cruiser that updates one of the French brand’s original e-bike designs with a Bosch Hubline motor, removable battery, Gates belt drive or Shimano drivetrain options, and integrated security technology.

Later in the show, we highlight 12 Riders of the Week from our 100th episode celebration, Ryan finally tries to escape the Helmet of Shame in trivia, and we take a look at several new bike accessories from Knog.

We also visit the Tahoe City Multi-Use Trail System at Lake Tahoe and answer viewer questions about U.S. vs European e-bike regulations, the Lectric XP4 vs XPress 2, and the Velotric Breeze 1 vs AIMA Key West 2.

For riders comparing comfortable cruiser-style e-bikes, we also explain where the Breeze 1 and Key West 2 differ in range, braking, customization, comfort, and ride quality—and why the Velotric Discover 3 may also be worth considering if comfort and gravel capability are priorities.

Let us know in the comments: which new e-bike would you most like to see us test—the Trek Domane+ SL, Segway Muxi Pro, or Moustache Lundi 27?

This week on The Weekly Recharge, we’re celebrating Episode 100!

In this special episode, we look back at the history of The Weekly Recharge, share some bloopers, mix up the trivia format, and announce a bigger-than-usual Rider of the Week giveaway with five viewers getting free Electric Bike Report T-shirts based on comments from this episode.

We also cover this week’s biggest e-bike news, including Specialized founder Mike Sinyard returning as CEO, Bosch reporting that riders using its smart system have covered an estimated 62 million miles in the U.S. since 2023, and Mondraker issuing a recall for select carbon handlebars.

Bosch’s milestone points to a bigger trend we love seeing: more riders using e-bikes not just for recreation, but for commuting, errands, school runs, trail rides, and replacing short car trips.

Later in the episode, we feature Rider of the Week, a special 100th episode trivia showdown, bloopers from past episodes, POC electrochromatic sunglasses, the Tanglefoot Trail in Mississippi, and viewer Q&A covering e-bike range, folding e-bikes for tall riders, and commuter recommendations under $2,200.

We also highlight a few current e-bike and gear deals from Ride1Up, Club Ride, and AIMA.

Thank you for watching, commenting, sharing, and helping us reach 100 episodes of The Weekly Recharge. Let us know in the comments how long you’ve been watching, what e-bike you ride, and what topics you want us to cover next.

This week on The Weekly Recharge, we’re talking about Illinois’ new rules for high-powered e-motos, Rad Power Bikes’ owner launching a crowdfunding campaign, Trek’s new Europe-only Allant+ FS, and whether e-bike tracking features can actually help recover a stolen bike.

Illinois is drawing a clearer line between legal Class 1, 2, and 3 e-bikes and faster, more powerful e-moto-style devices. The new law does not affect legal e-bikes that fit within the three-class system, but devices outside those limits may now need registration and motorcycle-level compliance.

We also cover Rad Life Mobility’s crowdfunding campaign and what it could mean for Rad Power Bikes, QuietKat, and Serial 1 after Life EV acquired Rad earlier this year.

Plus, Trek has revealed the 2027 Allant+ FS for the European market, with Bosch mid-drive power, full suspension, 800Wh batteries, MIK racks, four-piston brakes, and two build options.

Later in the episode, we answer viewer questions about stolen e-bike recovery and location tracking, compare the Lectric XP4 750 and Jasion Hunter Pro for city riding, look at eMTB options under $3,000, and break down the Velotric Nomad 2 vs Monarch Tracer for RV travel, comfort, and value.

We also feature Rider of the Week, e-bike trivia, Drift Sports’ Mina SPD-compatible shoe, updates on recent Electric Bike Report reviews, the Nantucket bike path network, and this week’s best e-bike deals.

Let us know in the comments: do you think Illinois handled the e-bike vs e-moto issue the right way?

This week on The Weekly Recharge, we're talking about Bafang's new high-power eMTB mid-drive motors and how they stack up on paper against Avinox.

Bafang's new M510RS and M560RS motors are aimed at performance and extreme eMTBs, with big torque numbers, high peak wattage, integrated terrain sensing, Sport+ mode, Boost-to-Limit, Hill Hold, and faster response compared to the brand's older mid-drives.

We also cover Comodule's e-bike theft prevention tech, including reports that up to 90% of attempted thefts in one connected-bike case study were either prevented or recovered after riders received movement alerts.

Plus, Trek has launched the new District+ lineup in Europe, Orange County is hosting an e-bike and e-moto buyback event, and we take a closer look at the Snoqualmie Valley Trail in Washington.

This week on The Weekly Recharge, we’re talking about the major fallout from New Jersey’s new e-bike laws, where some bike shops are reporting e-bike sales drops as high as 90%.

We break down what the new registration, insurance, and licensing requirements mean for riders, dealers, rentals, and the broader e-bike industry — and why clearer regulation separating legal e-bikes from high-speed e-motos matters.

We also cover the Rivian spin-off ALSO beginning shipments of its first TM-B e-bikes, along with the company’s new $150 million funding round and its bigger plans for small electric vehicles and autonomous delivery platforms.

Plus, we discuss Accell Group’s bankruptcy, new e-bike models from Cube, our Rider of the Week, the return of e-bike trivia, recent Electric Bike Report reviews, the Mineral Belt Trail in Leadville, Colorado, viewer questions, and this week’s best e-bike deals.

Let us know in the comments: do you think New Jersey’s new e-bike law went too far?

This week on The Weekly Recharge, we're covering several major e-bike stories, including New York City's latest crackdown on illegal e-mobility devices, new e-bike law proposals, and why e-bike batteries may soon get more expensive.

We also look at Trek's 50th anniversary and how far e-bikes have come since the early ElecTrek, plus the North American release of Urban Arrow's new Breeze longtail cargo e-bike.

Later in the episode, we highlight the 354 Latemar Ronda trail system in Italy, talk through recent Electric Bike Report reviews, and answer viewer questions about the Tern HSD vs Lectric XPedition, Juiced Scrambler HT dual-battery range, and the Monarc Marker vs Ride1Up Vorsa FT.

Plus, we cover this week's e-bike deals from Specialized, Mokwheel, and Velotric, and feature our Rider of the Week.

Let us know in the comments: what do you think about New York City's approach to illegal e-bikes and e-mobility devices?
