Can the German beast with Swiss components live up to the high expectations? Or will it fall flat when put through the wringer?

Hong Kong-based micro vehicle manufacturer Buffseek is not new to the world of micromobility. The company is an experienced manufacturer with 3 different electric scooter models under their belt. However, their entry into the highly competitive eMoto space is making waves across the industry.

NIU's electric dirt bike is officially here! The XQi3 is loaded with premium components and is an absolute blast to ride, available online or at one of NIU's many dealers around the globe. Its specs and pricing make it a prime competitor for the wildly popular Sur-Ron Light Bee. We'll do a deep-dive comparison between the two, as well as taking the XQi3 for a long trail ride on Blue Ridge Road in wonderful (and windy) Wyoming.

The RadTrike, priced at $1,699, offers a stable, comfortable ride with a 750-watt front hub motor, a 55+ mile range, and a 415 lb payload capacity

With integrated lights, a comfortable saddle, and intuitive controls, this e-bike is perfect for daily rides and weekend adventures alike.

Motorcycle enthusiasts, rejoice! Whether you're not quite ready for the big moto leagues, or just want something a bit more tame for cruising around town, the Anza 750S from Monday Motorbikes is worth checking out. It's rugged appearance is reminiscent of 1980s-era cafe racer motorcycles, right down to the long stitched leather seat that's perfect for riding two-up (or just stretching out your legs if you're a taller rider). It's built with quality components across the board, including bright integrated lights and a gas tank styled cover for the removable battery.

The V12 Pro is the latest iteration of INMOTION's popular V12 line of electric unicycles. It's essentially a refreshed version of the HT or high-torque variant, featuring safer and more efficient electronics, a re-vamped speaker system, and even more torque! This is a first impressions review covering the basics of this excellent wheel; stay tuned for more videos in the coming weeks!

California-based Ryvid launched their flagship electric motorcycle, the Anthem, last year (2023). It's their first model ever but you wouldn't have guessed it based on the quality of the Anthem; this machine is designed well and built even better! It's designed for city commuting, and while it's certainly highway capable when it comes to speed, those highway miles will eat up your battery at an alarming rate. Highlights include the adjustable height seat and an easily removable 4.3KWh battery, mounted low and center to give the Anthem a perfect 50/50 weight distribution.

If summertime just makes you miss snowboarding then the Hammer Sledge might just be for you. This massive electric land board is equipped with double kingpin trucks for satisfying deep carves, plus six inch pneumatic wheels that can roll over just about anything! Dual 1600-watt motors use belt drives and are specced for a good balance of torque and speed, powered by a massive lithium polymer battery pack that's segmented so it can flex with the board.

Swiss scooter maker VMAX brought a number of models to the US market last year, with the VX2 Pro being their most popular. After spending some time extended riding time it's easy to see why; it's intuitive to use, built well, reasonably portable, and backed by a solid warranty. The US market variant is also quite speedy, boasting a 28% incline climbing capability with a top speed of 24mph (39kph). We put it through the wringer including a full range test with steep hills and high winds... check out our video review to see the results!

Lectric Ebikes is cranking out new models this year! The XPress is their first full-sized electric bike, with 27.5" wheels and rocking a torque sensor, another first for the Lectric crew. It's available in two frame styles (high-step or step-thru), and you also can pick between a 500- or 750-watt rear hub motor. Lectric hooked us up with a prototype for a day and we tested it out on some of Denver's wonderful cycling trails.

You've no doubt heard of Radio Flyer before; yes, they're the "Little Red Wagon" company! Turns out they also make electric bikes, and they do a pretty darn good job of it. The Via is their newest cargo bike, the result of over two years of industry research and design iteration by the Radio Flyer team. It's built extremely well, has excellent accessory options, and is available in three frame sizes. Need a little more oomph? Upgrade to the Flyer Pro for a more powerful motor, better pedaling drivetrain, and a front suspension fork!
