The C5 Ultra: Himiway's Moto-Inspired Ebike
Himiway is going after the motocross crowd with the C5, an eye-catching minibike that feels a bit more like a tank than a bicycle. It's equipped with top-notch components highlighted by a motorcycle-grade full suspension setup, with a solid pedaling drivetrain that's somewhat wasted due to the small size of the frame. Himiway intends it to blur the lines between city commuting and off-road motorcycling... does it live up? Follow along with our review to find out!

Ride Review: Lectric's XP Trike
Lectric's XP Trike is their #2 best-selling model, and the best selling trike in the US! It's fairly small and approachable, easy to mount and dismount and narrow enough to fit through standard size doors. Its motor is rear-mounted and drives both wheels, offering better performance than typical front-wheel-drive trikes. The rear wheels also sport a differential axle for better maneuverability, plus sturdy hydraulic brakes for smooth stopping power.
