Introduction Buying your first e-bike sounds simple until you actually start looking. That’s exactly what happened to me a few years ago. I thought I’d pick one in an afternoon, but after testing different models, motors, batteries, and frame styles, I realised how confusing the market had...

Introduction I’ve lost count of how many people have asked me this after seeing me ride e-bikes around: “How long do the batteries actually last?” And honestly, it’s a fair question. You can read spec sheets all day, but real-world use is a different story. I’ve tested quite a few e-bikes over...

Introduction I’ve spent the last couple of years testing both electric scooters and e-bikes almost daily, and I can honestly say there’s no perfect answer to this debate. Some days I absolutely love the simplicity and portability of an e-scooter. Other days, especially on longer rides or rough...

Introduction I’ve ridden quite a few fat-tyre e-bikes over the last couple of years, and honestly, a lot of them start to blur together after a while. Big tyres, folding frame, rear hub motor you’ve seen one, you’ve seen most of them. But after spending a week with the RCB G19, I can say this...

Introduction I’ve always had mixed feelings about compact folding e-bikes. Some are genuinely useful for city riding, while others feel like compromised gadgets trying too hard to be practical. So when I got the chance to spend a few days riding the Bodywel T16 Pro, I went into it with fairly...

Introduction I’ve ridden plenty of fast e-bikes over the years, but the Ausom DT2 Pro genuinely caught me off guard the first time I opened the throttle properly. This thing moves. A lot of brands throw around big speed claims that don’t always match reality, but the DT2 Pro actually feels every...

Introduction I’ve tested a lot of electric scooters over the past couple of years, and honestly, many of them feel designed purely for smooth city pavements and short commutes. The iScooter iX4 clearly isn’t trying to be one of those scooters. From the moment I unfolded it, the chunky tyres...

Introduction I’ve ridden quite a few budget-friendly electric bikes lately, and honestly, many of them blur together after a while. Same frames, same motors, same promises about range and comfort. The Duotts C29 surprised me because it actually felt more polished than I expected for the price...

Introduction The first time I saw the Kubbi K22, I honestly wasn’t sure what to expect. There are loads of small electric dirt bikes appearing lately, and many of them look tougher in photos than they actually feel in real life. After spending proper time riding the K22 on dirt tracks, gravel...

Introduction I’ll admit it before testing the Mooncool TK1, I wasn’t entirely convinced electric trikes were something I’d personally enjoy riding. Most of my experience has been with regular e-bikes, fast fat-tyre models and the occasional electric dirt bike. Trikes always seemed more...

Introduction I’ve tested quite a few folding and fat-tyre e-bikes over the last couple of years, and most of them tend to follow the same formula. Big tyres, chunky frames, decent power, and somewhere along the line they all start blending together. The Engwe L20 managed to stand out for me...

Introduction The ESkuta SX250 Series 4 caught my attention for one simple reason — it doesn’t really look like a typical e-bike. The first time I saw it parked outside a café, I genuinely thought it was a small petrol scooter. After spending several days riding it around town, I realised that’s...

Introduction I’ve ridden plenty of affordable folding e-bikes over the years, and honestly, many of them feel rushed. They often promise portability and convenience but end up sacrificing ride quality, comfort or battery life somewhere along the way. The Hitway BK-U1 surprised me because it...
