In a fairly slow week of e-bike news, the biggest headline was a national announcement that the U.S. has entered a 90-day agreement with China to reduce tariffs. The cuts are significant on both sides, offering some relief to an industry that’s seen near-weekly brand closures. Still, many companies remain under pressure, as several key tariffs that impact the
cycling sector are still in effect, and meaningful relief can’t come soon enough.
Elsewhere, China Cycle wrapped up a couple of weeks ago, and Ananda took home an award for its integrated motor and gearing system. Unlike popular mid-drive gearboxes like the MGU, Ananda’s setup uses a hub motor, making the accomplishment notably different.
This week’s questions include a
head-to-head look at the Rad Power Bikes Radster Trail vs. the Aventon Aventure 3, whether a cheap Walmart e-bike is worth considering, and a closer look at cycling mirrors to help keep you safe on the road.
