  • Best Torque Sensor Fat Tire Bike? New Trek FX+ 1 & Cool Finds From Bentonville Bike Fest TWR Ep 33

    This week’s e-bike news brings a wave of new releases and one welcome comeback story. At the Bentonville Bike Fest, several notable brands showed off their latest gear, but what stood out were the displays from newer and emerging companies. Many brought fresh innovations, whether in bikes, components, or supporting infrastructure.

    Specialized has already launched the Gen 4 Turbo Levo lineup, but more budget-friendly aluminum models are now hitting the market. These retain many of the same internal components as their pricier carbon counterparts, offering riders a powerful, big-battery all-mountain rig at a significantly lower starting price.

    And in a positive twist after a string of brand closures, Revel Bikes is making a return, now back in the hands of its original founder Adam Miller who plans on reshaping the team and returning the brand back to its roots.

  • Aventon Aventure 3 vs Velotric Nomad 2! We Look At The New Trek FX+ 1 & Electra Townie Go, TWR Ep 32

    This was a lighter week in the world of e-bike news, but we still managed to dig up some cool stories! A Yamaha-backed startup is planning to roll out battery swapping stations in two major European cities. Pirelli is set to release a new road tire with sizes up to 55mm(!) wide. And a new low-profile helmet design is nearing its funding goal on Kickstarter. 

    As always, we respond to a variety of questions from our audience, with topics ranging from adjusting your suspension to the e-bike we’ve had the most fun riding and testing. We also do a comparison between two of the biggest bikes in the fat tire category - the Aventon Aventure 3 and Velotric Nomad 2! 

    Griffin takes us on a tour of a gorgeous e-bike-friendly trail in Connecticut. 

    And finally, we highlight a rider who travels over 100 miles every day to work and back!

  • CPSC Pushes for Stricter Testing, More E-Bike Brand Closures, A Butt Elliptical Saddle? | TWR Ep 30

    This was a busy week in the world of e-bikes! In Episode 30, we highlight a bunch of big news stories, including the closure of GasGas and Husqvarna, proposed UL certification requirements by the CPSC, and a Kickstarter campaign for a funky elliptical-like saddle. 

    We dive into some details about three of the biggest new e-bike releases: the Aventon Aventure 3 and the Lectric XP4, which comes in both a 500W and 750W version. 

    Griffin takes us on a tour of a familiar path near his hometown in northern Utah called the Jordan River Parkway Trail System. 

    We also respond to a few questions and comments from our audience, with an in-depth comparison between the Aventure 3 and the Heybike Alpha and a shorter look at the similarities between the Velotric Breeze 1 and Discover 2. 

    We also discuss questions about sizing/fit and visibility features of the Lectric XP4 and share some thoughts on why riders might choose a premium city bike over one that costs significantly less.

    As always, we respond to a variety of questions and comments from our audience. Topics include e-bike sizing, recommendations for a long-tail cargo e-bike for a new parent of twins, e-bikes capable of pulling trailers, and regenerative braking.

  • Does A 250W Motor Even Do Anything? Ride1Up Vorsa vs LMTD V2 & Aventon's Brake Lights! TWR Ep 28

    One of readers asked if a 250W motor feels any different that pedaling with no motor at all? We discuss this topic as well as what is going on with Aventon's brake lights?

    In this week’s episode, we discuss the week’s bike-specific news, respond to questions and comments from our audience, highlight some of the best sales currently going on, and explore an e-bike-friendly trail in British Columbia. 

    As expected following the Trump administration’s sweeping tariffs, e-bike prices are on the rise, and the big brands in the industry are not exempt. Trek and Specialized will be increasing their prices, just as we’ve seen from smaller companies. 

    Canyon has a cool concept e-bike that breaks from the norms, and the brand wants feedback on whether it should come to life! 

    We dive into some comparisons between two Trek Allant models; is a first-gen Allant+ 8S a better choice than the 7 Gen 2? We also compare specs and performance data for the Ride1Up Vorsa and LMT’D V2. 

    Griffin also takes us to Canada to talk about the Kettle Valley Rail Trail.

  • Will Tariffs Kill The Electric Bike Industry? Discover 2 vs Nomad 2 + More Comparisons TWR Ep 26

    We’ve reached Episode 26 of The Weekly Recharge, so we’re celebrating our six-month anniversary of starting the show! 

    As seems to be the new norm, there are big changes to the trade status between the US and other countries, with some tariffs going down and others skyrocketing. 

    Specialized released the newest Turbo Levo eMTB, and the brand has also issued a voluntary recall for three e-bikes. 

    Considering all the new e-bikes we’ve covered—and the tariff situation—now is the time to consider your next e-bike purchase. We dive into a ton of comparisons between various models as we respond to questions from our audience. 

    Speaking of our audience, our Rider of the Week from Episode 25 mentioned the Polly Ann Trail in Michigan. Griffin dove into some research to highlight that bike-friendly trail in this episode!

  • Lectric Buys Juiced Bikes? Liberation Day Tariffs, What Will Happen to E-Bike Prices? TWR Ep 25

    There’s a lot of big news to cover in this week’s episode of the Weekly Recharge! We hit all the major stories, including giving an update on the reciprocal “Liberation Day” tariffs implemented by the Trump administration, the return of Juiced Bikes, and a big move from Yamaha in the European market. 

    We visit sunny Phoenix, Arizona, for a tour of the city’s canal paths, which span a whopping 180 miles! 

    Griffin and John also respond to questions and comments from our readers and viewers. Topics range from a comparison between the new Ride1Up Vorsa and the Aventon Level 3, the best ways to sell a used and well-loved e-bike, and folding e-bike recommendations for heavy riders.

  • What's Going On With Ride1Up? And A New Fast Charging E-Bike From Gary Fisher? TWR Ep 24

    One of the questions we got this week was about the future of Ride1Up.  We will talk what is going on with their e-bike models, and if they are doing ok.

    Highlights from this week’s news include tantalizing hints about a fast-charging e-bike from Gary Fisher’s Morelle Bikes and new e-bike laws and stricter enforcement in Orange County, California. 

    Griffin takes us to the beautiful bike-friendly Riverwalk in San Antonio, Texas. 

    Spring savings are in full swing with a variety of sales at Lectric, Tenways, and Retrospec. 

    As always, we also address questions and comments from our audience. Topics include range estimates, hitch rack and tailgate pad recommendations, and storage bags for folding e-bikes.
