The Best Defense Against Flat Tires, Lectric 2.0 Trike Drop, Bike Stands | TWR Ep 39

Hopefully, you’re into bike releases, because this week’s e-bike news is packed with them.

Leading the charge is the new Lectric XP Trike 2 (okay, technically not a bike, but close enough). As the follow-up to the best-selling electric trike in the U.S., it’s poised to make some serious waves.

Heybike is rolling out a new fleet of mid-drive models in Europe under its Galaxy line, featuring refreshed designs that suggest the brand is finding its identity and stepping up its build quality.

Elsewhere, Oregon just made big changes to its e-bike access rules, expanding where Class 1, 2, and 3 models can legally ride. Upway is teaming up with Orbea on a new trade-in program across much of Europe, giving riders extra incentives to upgrade. And the Kamingo conversion kit—a friction-drive system that electrifies analog bikes—has already pulled in over $1 million in Kickstarter pledges, offering a lightweight and affordable option for DIY e-bike fans.

Burley Hopper Bike Trailer Review | Convertible & Convenient

It’s hard to avoid accumulating more stuff. Whether your kids are the recipients of a hoard of gifts every holiday season, your spouse is extra susceptible to targeted marketing campaigns, or you’re simply the kind of person who likes to take advantage of a great sale, the number of items coming in the door is usually larger than the number going back out.

With so many single-purpose items on the market, this trend means that a sparsely populated garage can quickly become cluttered with various gadgets and accessories. If you’re a cyclist looking to get more utility from your e-bike, but you’re feeling the aforementioned squeeze, multipurpose products like the Burley Hopper might present at least a partial solution.

This collapsible, combination bike trailer and wagon can transport cargo and contain children while also compacting enough to fit in a closet or on a storage shelf.

Yakima StageTwo Hitch Rack Review | Heavy-Duty & Versatile

The Yakima StageTwo is an industry staple—and for good reason. It’s reliable, easy to use, and offers a few worthwhile accessories that make transporting e-bikes even more convenient.

It was recently updated with some small quality-of-life improvements, but it’s still every bit as dependable as we’ve come to expect from Yakima.

The 2” hitch model accommodates two large e-bikes up to 70 lbs each, while the 1.25” version holds up to 60 lbs per bike. The arm hook secures over the front tire, keeping your bike’s frame free from contact. There’s generous spacing to help prevent bikes from bumping into one another, and the tiered trays are a thoughtful design choice that allows for additional clearance between handlebars and saddles.
