Mokwheel Obsidian Review

Mokwheel largely built their reputation with the Basalt; in addition to being an appealing and solidly-performing fat tire e-bike, they paired it with an optional power inverter to allow the bike’s battery to power other devices. With the brand’s latest offering, the full-suspension Obsidian, the Basalt’s evolution feels complete. We discuss the bike’s features and performance in this Mokwheel Obsidian review!

One of the defining elements of the Obsidian is its supremely powerful 1,000W rear-hub motor. This tremendous amount of force allows the bike to handle steep hills, loose ground, and just about any kind of terrain. With a torque sensor, this motor gives you more power from the motor when you pedal harder.

Retrospec Chatham Rev+ ST Review

Don’t be fooled by the retro design of the Retrospec Chatham Rev+ ST; this cruiser-style e-bike might resemble an old-timer, but it packs some serious punch! We tested the bike’s real-world performance in addition to just admiring its great looks. Read all about it in this Retrospec Chatham Rev+ review!

The bike’s appearance is really its defining feature, and we think Retrospec nailed the design by balancing form and function. The Chatham Rev+ uses a curved and angled top tube to keep the frame from flexing, while the larger, more contemporary down tube seamlessly hosts its fully integrated battery. It’s an artful design that perfectly fuses new and old!

Ride1UP Announces CF Racer 1: A Carbon Gravel Bike for $2200

Ride1UP has announced their newest model and it’s an exciting surprise from a company that has proven to come up with exciting designs. Their new e-bike is called the CF Racer1. So what is it? Well, it’s two things, in fact, but that word “racer” is something of a giveaway. Depending on what the buyer orders, it is either a road e-bike or it is a gravel e-bike. In our spec review of the Ride1UP CF Racer1 we will look at what sort of riding and rider this e-bike is suited and what may cause someone to choose the road version vs. the gravel version.

Okay, so this looks like the bikes we see in the Tour de France, and while the CF Racer1 has some similarities, it also differs in some important ways, like modern racing bikes, this features a carbon fiber frame and fork (the “CF” in the name) to keep this e-bike as light as possible. How light? Well it comes in at 28.6 lbs. This is a good deal heavier than a racing bike, but for an e-bike … we will put it this way:The Ride1UP CF Racer is one of the lightest e-bikes we’ve reviewed.
