One of the most fun stories in this week’s e-bike news is Griffin’s visit to the Electrify Expo in California! He saw new e-bikes and e-bike-related products from a variety of brands, including Mokwheel, P-51, JackRabbit, LeMond, and more! 

On a more somber note, the Trump administration’s “Big, Beautiful” budget bill includes legislation that threatens millions of acres of public lands, including many areas with e-bike-friendly trails. We encourage you to contact your legislators and tell them to reject the proposal. 

In happier news, People for Bikes released their 2025 City Rankings, which use a variety of metrics to determine each location’s bike-friendliness. Many cities improved their rankings, making it easier for folks to commute and otherwise get around on two wheels instead of four!

Helping someone choose an electric bike that has not ridden one before is no easy task.  There are many e-bikes on the market and there are some key requirements to look for, especially if it has been years or decades since they have been on a bike in general. We dive into the factors to consider and some really good options.

In this week’s episode, we dive into a diverse range of news stories and questions from our audience. 

On the political front, a new bill introduced to Congress would encourage domestic assembly of bicycles and e-bikes by eliminating tariffs on their components. 

On the business front, GoCycle has been purchased by the owner of a prominent e-bike manufacturer. Additionally, the Spanish motor producer MAHLE has entered the eMTB market with a heavy-hitting mid-drive. 

When responding to questions and comments from our audience this week, we explain many of the factors that affect an e-bike’s climbing performance, we dive into a comparison between two excellent SUV-style e-bikes, and we discuss the spirit of our comparisons in the context of two hybrid e-bikes. 

Griffin also takes us on a tour of an e-bike-friendly path called the Cardinal Greenway in the state of Indiana!

It was a busy week in the world of e-bike news. New York City Mayor Eric Adams announced a plan to lower the city’s e-bike speed limit to 15 mph, citing safety concerns. In other safety-related news, Specialized issued a recall on more than 11,000 Globe Haul ST and LT models due to a faulty seatpost that could break during use. Meanwhile, VanMoof revealed its latest models: the S6 and the mid-step S6 Open.

John and Griffin also tackled a range of audience questions this week, including recommendations for tall riders, whether folding an e-bike to fit it on a basket-style hitch rack is a good idea, and how U.S. and Canadian e-bike regulations—and motors—differ.

To wrap things up, John takes us on a scenic ride along a 100-mile trail stretching through Oregon and California.

This week’s episode includes a bit of everything, from news on the political front to some intriguing new products, and even the potential return of an electric motorcycle brand. 

One of the coolest news pieces highlighted a new wheel hub from Shimano with an automatic shifting system and a self-charging power source. The system is compatible with the brand’s CUES drivetrain, which we anticipate seeing a lot more of on e-bikes in the near future. 

John takes us on a tour of Glacier National Park in Montana, where e-bikers can enjoy incredible scenery while riding Going-to-the-Sun Road. 

We also address recent questions and comments from YouTube and our website. Topics include the best temperature range for riding e-bikes, the effect of different torque ratings on hill climbing, and personalized recommendations for a photographer at music festivals and a simple-to-use e-bike for a rider fresh out of the Costa Rican jungles.
