Ride1Up Turris Review: Affordable Versatility for All

When I first got my hands on the Ride1Up Turris, I was eager to see if it could defy the skepticism that often comes with budget-friendly e-bikes. Could it balance affordability with quality? To find out, I put it through its paces on various rides—from city streets to light trails.

The Turris is marketed as a versatile e-bike, capable of handling a range of terrains and tasks, much like an SUV. During city rides, practical features like fenders kept me dry, and integrated lights increased visibility during early morning and late evening rides. On trails, the knobby tires and hydraulic disc brakes provided reliable handling, while the 100mm front suspension fork smoothed out bumps along my route.

Trek Launches Gen 2 Allant+ 7

Trek has announced the new generation of the Allant+ 7, one of their Bosch-powered commuter e-bike models. As before, Trek makes two different versions of the Allant+ 7. There is the Allant+ 7, which is a Class 1 e-bike with a maximum pedal-assist speed of 20 mph; there is also the >Allant+ 7S, which is a Class 3 pedelec with a maximum pedal-assist speed of 28 mph.

The biggest single difference between the Gen 1 and Gen 2 versions of the Trek Allant+ 7 and 7S is the price. Where before the Allant+ 7 was priced at $3799, the new version now retails for just below $3000. The Allant+ 7S did cost for $4099, but now goes for just below $3500.

E-Bike Insurance Adoption Is On The Rise – Do You Need It?

A study of more than 5,500 Dutch people found that insuring e-bikes is on the rise. E-bike owners took out a collective 621 million Euro in insurance in 2023, an increase of 71 million Euro from the year before.

Roughly 62 percent of owners surveyed indicated that they had purchased an insurance policy for their e-bike. The average cost for the insurance was €14 per month. Fat-tire e-bikes are more expensive to insure, generally €23 per month because they are more frequently stolen. Some insurance companies have stopped writing policies for fat-tire models because they are stolen so often. Six percent of respondents indicated that they had had an e-bike stolen in the past.
