Hi ,

Happy Friday!

Here is your update from Electric Bike Report.

Shopping & Commuting with an Electric Cargo Bike: The Riese & Muller Packster 40 NuVinci

Living in a rural area means a big shop at the nearest large town, several very hilly miles away, is a job taylor-made for an e-cargo bike.

Enter Riese & Müller’s Packster 40 Nuvinci (from $6,219) which looked to fit the task perfectly. So when I was offered a trial I couldn’t wait to see how it handled shopping trips into town and city.

First Look - Gecko's New Puncture Proof Bike Tires. No More Flat Tires!

UK company Gecko have just been released their new ‘Regular’ branded puncture proof tyres on 700 x 40 and 26 x 1.75 sizes.

We’ve tried these tyres before in their Comfort range (a little softer than the regular range and made specifically for e-bikes). Although Gecko say they are suitable for non electric bikes I thought it would be great to try them out on an e-bike and to compare them to the softer Comfort versions we have on long term test on our Heinzmann e-bike.
