This year, VanMoof announced the inclusion of a removable power bank for the first time. It also recently announced it will be expanding its physical presence from eight cities to more than 50 across the world. That’s a huge expansion, even if its presence is still limited to five US cities. If you live in New York, San Francisco, Seattle, Portland, or Washington, DC, have an iPhone, and never want to see a bike chain, the VanMoof is starting to look like a great pick. Specialized’s Smart Control system means you don’t have to adjust assistance while you’re riding nor worry about having enough battery to get home. A hidden shock in the head tube cushions the blow from any unexpected potholes.
With suspension that is optimized for greater traction, and a buttery smooth feel when riding over anything that trails can throw at you, speed just happens. Our rides are the first e-bikes on the market with a fully integrated handlebar and brake assembly – making them just as beautiful to use as it is to look at. Our hydraulic brakes deliver much greater stopping power with very little effort. Now you have precise and powerful braking power in all conditions, with the pull of a single finger.
Choose the level of assistance that’s best for you and how you’re feeling, whether it be a light or intense boost. The Current empowers riders with class-leading, tunable power.

Riding the Current is as simple as riding your favorite bike- except now the hills are easier, longer rides are effortless, and you can confidently keep up with the flow of traffic.
Summer might not be here yet, but this weekend at least marks the unofficial start of summer in the US – and thus a great time to soak up the good weather outdoors on an electric bicycle. Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned professional, everyone should experience the joy of riding like the Dutch. Discover our range of premium, durable and delightful bikes below.
By late 2009 ten cities had also banned or imposed restrictions on e-bikes on the same grounds as motorcycles. Among these cities were Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Changsha, Foshan, Changzhou, and Dongguang. While some people like the added stability offered by tricycles as compared to bikes, the electric tricycles can actually be more unstable when cornering. The level of stability while cornering in an electric tricycle depends partially on the variant- a ‘tadpole’ configuration with two wheels in front, or a ‘delta’ configuration with two wheels in the rear. Tadpole variants are somewhat more stable when cornering at speed. Electric cargo bikes allow the rider to carry large, heavy items which would be difficult to transport without electric power supplementing the human power input.
I have to say that was a standout feature for me living in a typical small Manhattan apartment. This electric road bike currently comes in one color, charcoal, which I personally think is a great color for a city bike. You don’t need a key to use it but does have one for removing the integrated battery — a welcome feature I’ve seen more and more on e-bikes. The DPC-18 full-color display for the bike is approximately 4 inches and visible at any time of day. The display shows current speed, battery level, mode , assist level, time, trip odometer and total miles traveled. In addition, there’s a USB-A port for charging mobile devices.
Reviewer Parker Hall notes that it has trustworthy components like a Samsung battery and Shimano disc brakes, and nifty accessories like a cool suspension seat. It ships directly to you, which is handy if you’d like to avoid a bike shop. Propella updates its bikes every few months, and the 4.0 version is now shipping for July. For many bikes, battery range is more important than total power (because they’re all pretty powerful). You want a bike that delivers a range long enough for your rides at the power levels you want. Most e-bikes will have three to five levels of assist that kick in anywhere from 25 percent of your pedal power to 200 percent.
There are strict shipping regulations for lithium-ion batteries, due to safety concerns. In this regard, lithium iron phosphate batteries are safer than lithium cobalt oxide batteries. There are many e-bikes design variations available, some with batteries attached to the frame, some housed within the tube. Converting giant mountain a non-electric bicycle to its electric equivalent can be complicated but numerous ‘replace a wheel’ solutions are now available on the market. Because the power is applied through the chain and sprocket, power is typically limited to around 250–500 watts to protect against fast wear on the drivetrain.
Smooth ride, comfortable seat, easy to recharge, and well-built. My wife and I stopped in to Electric Bike Co. a little over a month ago. We instantly fell in love with the product, and the overall customizability of the bikes.We were met at the Newport Beach Showroom by Claudia who was absolutely a pleasure to deal with. I hit her with a hundred questions, and she fired back a hundred answers.
