Ride1Up took the spotlight this week with the release of the TrailRush, the brand’s first eMTB. Like its trekking e-bike, the Prodigy V2, the TrailRush features a 250W Brose mid-drive motor with 90 Nm of torque, a spec sheet chock full of great components, and a wallet-friendly price of around $2100.
The CPSC also announced a recall for approximately 24,000 e-bike batteries. The batteries, which pose a fire risk, were sold with cheap e-bikes through a variety of online retailers, including Walmart, Wish, Amazon, Wayfair, and others.
Additionally, the Texas-based e-bike company eBliss Global is planning to build a factory in Utica, New York. Once constructed, the brand has a goal of assembling 15,000 e-bikes annually in the
US.
Finally, it’s a very special week for us at Electric Bike Report! After many years and hundreds of e-bike reviews, we’ve reached the 100,000 subscriber mark through our YouTube channel! We’re grateful for our audience and the community of riders, readers, and viewers who interact with us on a daily basis. We literally couldn’t do this without you!
