Freedare Eden Review | The Start of Something Beautiful?

It’s not every day that we test e-bikes from newer brands such as Freedare. As Julius Caesar once wrote, experience is the best teacher, and we often find that fresh entrants to the e-bike market often need a few years to find their footing.

As the step-thru option among Freedare’s two fat tire/cruiser hybrid models, the Eden lured us in with unique features for its price point (between $1,500 and $2,000 at the time of writing). These include things like IoT (Internet of Things) technology, a multifunctional mobile app, and an integrated SIM card for security and navigation.

Lake Tahoe May Soon Allow eMTBs on Singletrack

Electric mountain bikes may soon enjoy access to more than 100 miles of trails in the Lake Tahoe Basin thanks to a new proposal. Trail access for electric mountain bikes has been a contentious issue in many parts of the U.S. and the Lake Tahoe region is no different.

The Lake Tahoe Basin Management Unit of the U.S. Forest Service has proposed opening up 100 miles of non-motorized trails to eMTBs. Called the Basin Wide Trails Analysis Project, the proposal encompasses the trails that sit within the ridgeline that rings Lake Tahoe.

Hollywood Racks Sportrider Review | A Nearly Universal Fit

The ever-growing hitch rack market includes a number of new racks designed specifically for e-bikes. With models that include features such as ramps and special arms that can accommodate fenders or step-thru frames and even lights, there are some pretty fancy racks out there.

Unfortunately, as the features grow more elaborate, the prices go up. We love the Hollywood Racks Sportrider rack for a number of reasons, but our favorite reason is that it can carry almost any e-bike on the market, plus it is one of the most affordable racks out there. It’s a potent combination. At $499, there aren’t many hitch racks that can compete with it.
