Brompton re-launch 2022 bike line up.
"Brompton
has announced the launch of its 2022 range where its
folding bike will now be available in A Line, C Line and
Electric C Line. This change comes as the company gears
up for another significant year, expecting to sell over
100,000 bikes."
By Liberty Sheldon (cyclingindustry.news) (Image Credit not Found) October 27, 2021 Fiido X review: Folding electric bike
combines fancy new battery with sleek magnesium frame.
"The
bike isn’t particularly fast, mind you. In the US it’s a
class 1 e-bike, meaning you can get up to 20 mph or 15.5
km/h. That’s a decent commuter speed for the bike lane,
but you won’t be keeping up with traffic in most
cities."

road, gravel, commuting and more.
"When
you're looking to invest in one of the best electric
bikes you can buy, the amount of choice out there can be
daunting. Gone are the days when eBikes were a rare
novelty and only a small handful of household name
brands actually sold them."

eBiking up the Great Orme on a father-son Tour of Britain.
"To
experience the thrill of climbing Great Orme alongside
serious club riders after all these years would be
impossible for me on a ‘normal’ bike - and some might
say it’s cheating - but as you get older you realize
there’s nothing wrong with a bit of help."
By Jonny Long (cyclingweekly.com) (Image credit: Jonny Long) October 23, 2021 As you’d expect, the Whippet is one of the
lighter eBikes around.
"Revolutionworks
- best known for developing the Revos eBike conversion
kit - launched a new eBike called the Whippet. No prizes
for guessing that its light weight is one of its key
selling points - but it’s pretty affordable too."
By Alex Bowden (ebiketips.road.cc) Photo by Revolutionworks October 18, 2021 Gazelle Medeo T9 City HMB Review.
"A
feature complete electric bicycle with lights,
reflective tires, steel fenders, and a rear rack. Made
by a reputable global brand, using premium drive
systems from Bosch. It's available in two frame sizes
and features an adjustable angle stem to further
optimize fit."
(electricbikereview.com) (Image Credit not Found) October 17, 2021 Congressman ‘frustrated’ with reduced
electric bike tax credit in US, but calls it progress.
"The
original sponsor of a bill introducing a 30% tax
credit for electric bicycle purchases recently
commented on the current state of the proposed
legislation, calling it frustrating but expressing
hope at the progress it indicated."

Swiss electric bike brand FLYER coming to
US, joining more European eBike companies.
"The
Swiss electric bicycle company FLYER has announced
that it is entering the North American market with
several of its popular eBike models. While not as well
known yet in the US, the company has been active in
Europe for over 25 years."
By Micah Toll (electrek.co) (Image Credit not Found) October 11, 2021 eMountain Bike Racing At The Sea Otter
Classic.
"The
Sea Otter Classic is back in person for 2021. It’s an
amazing event that’s happened every spring for 30
years. It kicks off all of North American bicycle
racing. For the eBike race, riders had to do multiple
laps as fast as they can for an hour plus crossing the
finish line."

Fiber Future, Amazing US Bike Growth & More!
"Frame
material is an old chestnut for discussion in the bike
and eBike world, but despite lots of exciting new tech
appearing on the horizon (and sometimes disappearing
back beneath it) the vast majority of eBikes and bikes
are still made from steel and aluminum alloys."
By Pierce Kettering (electricbikereport.com) (Image Credit not Found) October 8, 2021 Gocycle G4i Review.
"Internally
geared electronically actuated Shimano Nexus 3-speed
hub provides predictive or manual shifting options
with an intuitive half-grip twist shifter design.
There's no derailleur hanging down that could get
bumped during transport, and the chain is completely
encased in the "clean drive" casing."
(electricbikereview.com) (Image Credit not Found) October 7, 2021 CUBE and BMW present a cargo trike - first
ride review of the Concept Dynamic Cargo trike.
"Three
wheels, innovative tilting technology and a
differential are the basic components of the new CUBE
Concept Dynamic Cargo trike. This unique prototype of
a step-through eCargo trike was developed in close
cooperation with BMW."
By Peter Walker (ebike-mtb.com) Manufacturer’s website October 7, 2021 Ride1up’s newest eBike is the most
affordable electric bike with Gates carbon belt drive
yet.
"When
it comes to belt drives in the eBike industry, Gates
is the undisputed leader. And those quality drives
usually come at a high cost, but now we’re seeing the
lowest-priced Gates carbon belt drive-equipped eBike
yet: the new Ride1Up Roadster B2 Gravel Edition."

full array of mountain bikes, road bikes, eBikes, kids
bikes, hybrids, commuters, and other urban models.
