The annual Sea Otter classic has long been a great indicator of the way the mountain bike industry is going, and so it was great last year to see them introduce an e-MTB race for the first time. This year’s event was a hit once again, with riders from teenagers to over-60s participating.The 2.9-mile lap … Read more
The Quick E+ is the top bike in Giant’s Urban range and it puts in a strong performance, like its stablemates the Ease E+ and the Prime E+. The Yamaha PW motor isn’t the best fit for a bike that’s really designed as a fast commuter, and the double chainset is a bit of an … Read more
The Simplon Sengo Urban 80 is light, it has a super-powerful motor and it’s masses of fun to ride. If you’ve got four grand to drop on a bike for larking about on you can do a whole lot worse than this. It’s not altogether the most practical of beasts, and if you’re after full … Read more
If you’d asked us to compile a list of brands who’d be telling us about their new e-bikes this week, it’s fairly safe to say that we wouldn’t have put MCipollini near the top of that list. Or on it at all. The boutique high-end brand founded by the larger-than-life ex-pro Mario Cipollini is dedicated … Read more

How was your weekend? Ours was a lot of fun: we went up to Cannock Chase in the midlands for our second Bike Live event of the year. And what a great day out it was! The sun shone, the roads were quiet and the trails were dusty. There were all sorts of bikes to … Read more
Riese & Müller have form for making some very interesting bikes, and the Delite is certainly that. We weren’t sure that the world needed a dual-battery, full-suspension, 650b gravel/touring electric bike, but now we want one. Dual battery technology is Bosch’s latest thing. Until such a time as batteries get three times as good, range … Read more
Pinnacle, the bike brand of Evans Cycles, are dipping their toe into the e-bike waters this year. They’ve decided to start with a city bike based on their popular Lithium hybrid, and they’ve put together a great value, well-specced city bike with a powerful motor that rides very well. Finished in a matt blue powder … Read more
