What Are Ebike ‘Classes’ and What Do They Mean?

wired.com Michael Venutolo-Mantovani 2025-09-26 11:30:00

Over the past few years, electric bikes have skyrocketed in popularity (conscious decision not to use the word exploded there), with some estimates saying that ebike sales in the US grew tenfold over the last decade. Whether you are in the market for your first ebike or are borrowing one from your local lending library, you might be wondering what an ebike’s class denotes. There are three designations of ebikes in America—Class 1, Class 2, and Class 3—that are defined by a small handful of char

9 Best Electric Cargo Bikes for Families (2025), Tested and Reviewed

wired.com Adrienne So 2025-10-17 06:30:00

There are several physical, philosophical, environmental, and logistical reasons why it’s better to hop on an electric cargo bike than it is to drive a car. Sitting in traffic is mind-numbing. Earth is on fire. Yet somehow it's easy to ignore all this when you're late to work and have yet to wrestle pants onto your screaming toddler.

Urban Arrow FamilyNext Pro Review: The Perfect Family Bike

wired.com Adrienne So 2025-10-19 05:00:00

How time flies. I first reviewed the original Urban Arrow in 2020, when my kids were 3 and 5. Back then, nothing delighted a couple of preschoolers more than strapping into a big, motorized cargo bike and scooting around town, shrieking, with the wind blowing in their tiny faces. Alas, they are now 8 and 10. When I picked up my 8-year-old two days ago, he crouched down in the box while sitting on the padded seats (with seat belts!) so that none of his friends would see him.

Ride1Up TrailRush Electric Mountain Bike Review: Quality Components, Bargain Price

Buying a direct-to-consumer bike can be almost as big a gamble as investing in cryptocurrency. While a customer is not likely to lose their shirt investing in a new electric bike, buying a poorly made one may result in a serious crash or catch the garage on fire. For these reasons and more, it’s wise to do some research before clicking on the Add to Cart button. The highest-end legacy-brand e-MTBs retail for upwards of $14,000.

French firm Gouach is pitching an Infinite Battery with replaceable cells

E-bike batteries are, for the most part, a collection of 18650 batteries, packaged together and welded in series and parallel, attached to a battery management system (BMS). A "dead" e-bike battery may only have two or three truly dead cells inside, while the remainder work fine. This is useful knowledge that, for the most part, very few e-bike owners can really use. Arc welders are not a common tool to own, and most e-bike batteries are not designed to be opened, safely or otherwise. French fi

Snapshots of Kids Bike Jumping in the 1970s

Back in the 1970s (and before), parents didn’t stress about our health and safety as much as they do today. It’s not that they cared less – they just didn’t worry obsessively about it. It’s a far guess to say that some of the kids seen bike jumping and being bike jumped (which is the more dangerous?) are parents now – which means that they survived and can recall how less restricted, less supervised, less obsessively safety-conscious things were – and it was fine.

The company has revealed that it has signed a term sheet with a new partner, Rebirth, which it believes would pave the way for long-term stability.

One of the most important senses we have as bike riders is our hearing. Whether you're in a group ride, where other riders are calling out road and traffic hazards, or alone, to keep ears out for vehicles or other rides coming from our rear, our ears are nearly as essential as our eyes. Bone-conduction headphones—which sit outside the ears and deliver sound through vibration—have been around for some time.

An electric bicycle—it's a regular bicycle, but with a motor on it! There are enough moving pieces on these personal mobility vehicles to make buying one confusing.
