The EBR writing staff has made an emphasis of answering the most common questions we get from our readers. One of those basic questions we receive from those new to e-bikes is if an e-bike is worth the cost. To answer that, and speak to our thoughts on e-bikes in general, we wrote about the pros & cons of e-bikes.

Richard's e-bike news recap this week includes a Ruff Cycles bike equipped with a Bosch mid-drive, Matel and Super 73 team up to bring Hot Wheels to e-bikes, and Peyman brings a new automatic gearing system to the bike world!
