The review details two new electric cargo bike models from Trek, Fetch Plus 2 and Fetch Plus 4, which are distinct in design but similar in function. These models notably cater to families, with durable components and high cargo carrying capacity being their unique selling points. Both use premium Bosch powertrain systems and offer sustainable transportation alternatives. The cost of bikes is high but is balanced by potential savings from eliminating recurring costs related to car ownership.

Cannondale, the Connecticut-based bicycle maker, is releasing its first electric cargo bikes, the Cargowagen Neo and the Wonderwagen Neo. The Cargowagen Neo will be available in the US and Europe, while the Wonderwagen Neo will be exclusive to Europe.

It is designed for people that rely on two-wheeled transport for work or rugged outdoor activities.

The Wing Freedom e-bike offers a more affordable way to commute around a city with its price point under $1500. While it cuts some corners with features like external battery and off-the-shelf parts, it brings a strong performance with a convenient and fun ride experience.

The Fiido X is an impressive follow-up to the D11 that addresses most but not all of its shortcomings.

“Whereas previous VanMoof S-series bikes were criticized for being too tall for many riders… the diminutive A5 caters to riders as small as 155cm (5 feet, 1 inch) and uses a more angled frame…”

The S3 is the most sophisticated ride I’ve ever experienced on an e-bike.

I was all smiles during my first ride — it rode better than I had expected.

“To be clear, this isn’t the fastest, most powerful, or even the best-looking e-bike I’ve ever ridden. But it was a solid workhorse that got the job done.”

"...not your typical pedal-assisted electric bike"

This is for everyone who loves electric skateboards and doesn’t want a road in poor condition to ruin its ride.

"The Razor EcoSmart Cargo is an electric scooter that looks suspiciously like an e-bike...and that's a good thing."

Super 73's RX is just as fun for running errands as it is to take on the trails, that is if you're not pedaling and instead using the thumb throttle. It feels solid underneath you and can kick up to high speeds for long periods of time on a single charge.

The RadRunner electric utility bike has a sturdy build and powerful drivetrain, offering a versatile commuting option, though it is single-speed and lacks high-tech features.

The Cake Ösa is the most fun I’ve ever had on two wheels — or any wheels.

It’s for boardwalk cruising, gravel grousing, and definitely anywhere there’s a flat stretch of pavement and no cars. Just twist that throttle, and let it rip.

The C4 ST makes your commute fun, efficient, and comfortable. It is sleek and powerful – built for everyday use.

The most fun you can have with a door.

In my brief test rides with the prototypes, I can confirm that the S5's slightly smaller wheels and lower overall frame height make it noticeably easier to mount than VanMoof's notoriously tall S-series bikes.
