Specialized Turbo Creo SL Comp Carbon Evo review -
The Specialized Turbo Creo SL Comp Carbon Evo is a well-performing e-bike that intricately balances a smooth ride with a high-quality build. Its unique features such as the SL1.1 motor, a lightweight body, and dropper post add to its amazing design while the Praxis front chainring may require some improvement. Although its price may not be low, the quality, performance, and design components that you get account for value for money.

5 Reasons Your Next Gravel Bike Should Be Electric | Cycling Weekly -
The reviewer discusses the Cannondale Topstone Neo, an electric, full suspension gravel bike that may disrupt cycling norms. It features a powerful motor and long battery life, balanced with fine-tuned suspension. Despite its heavy design and slightly subpar aesthetics, the bike offers remarkable versatility and performance in diverse terrains, from on-road to off-road. Its limitation lies in the lack of a dropper seat post.

Voilamart 48V Rear Wheel e-bike conversion kit review - cheap and powerful; requires waterproofing - Leigh Emmerson
Some of the components are a bit cheap and cheerful, and it’s not waterproof out of the box – but it's easy enough to fix this (we explain how), and the result is a great low-cost option if you already have a bike to convert.

Brompton P Line review - more titanium equals less weight - Simon Richardson
Fun to ride, easy to take with you wherever you go and nicely put together with umpteen clever little design hacks. There are a few little practicality issues, but overall it’ll leave you wondering how you survived without it.

BMC Alpenchallenge AMP Road e-bike review -
“A mixed surface, flat terrain high-end commuter e-bike is a bit of a niche market, but one that the BMC Alpenchallenge AMP Road e-bike has captured.”

Bianchi Impulso E-Road review - Rupert Radley
The Bianchi Impulso has plenty of assistance on tap and good battery life to match it but it's let down by its weight compared to newer models.

Ribble CGR AL e Tiagra review -
The Ribble CGR AL e Tiagra is an electric all-road bike that uses a hub positioned motor to provide various modes of assistance. It is constructed from aluminum and carbon, with a clean design, efficient motor and light enough weight to handle off-road trails, though it lacks a screen to show battery life. At £2,399, it is reasonably priced for an e-bike, offering value in the daily grind and weekend adventures, making it well worth the investment.

Ride1Up Roadster V2 e-bike review - Publishing Team
The Ride1Up Roadster V2 has a stripped-back, urban singlespeed vibe and doesn’t even look like an e-bike at a glance.

Castelli Idro Pro 3 Jacket review – an utterly uncompromising 'hyper-jacket' - Paul Grele
There are two pockets (with drain holes!) on the rear of the jacket, and whilst not massive, they were useful to put a neck buff and skull cap in so that I didn't have to unzip to access the jersey pockets.

Endura Pro SL Shell jacket review - Rupert Radley
Great wet-weather jackets don't tend to come in small sizes, so it's impressive Endura has achieved what it has with the SL Pro.
