Many e-bikes nowadays can fold, but not all of them feel like they should fold. Sometimes it feels like a feature that was added last minute. But when you come across an e-bike that seems to be built with folding first in mind it shows up in the details: the handling, the weight, heck - even the paint job.
When done right, the bikes can be a lot of fun, and provide a useful feature for those who have compact bike needs.
Those who are looking at folding e-bikes for city living and commutes will want to catch Sam's latest review of the Blix Vika+ Flex as it was built with purpose and executes on the details that make up a quality folding e-bike.
One of the treats of the Sea Otter Classic was getting to check out BULLS' electric bikes. Adam, BULLS marketing manager for North America, walked us through their eMTB lineup including their Copperhead EVO HD Wave - a step through eMTB.
What's the reception been for their step through electric mountain bike?
Adam says, “We cannot keep it in stock. It's so popular.”
One thing we're hoping to see more of out of bike racks is higher weight capacities. With motors and batteries becoming larger on bikes all the time - not to mention the rise in the popularity of larger fat tire bikes - high weight capacity racks are a must.
The folks from 1UP USA built the Super Duty Double rack that can carry up to 75lbs bikes on each tray. It can even be expanded to a 3rd tray for hauling 225 lbs worth of bikes!
