October 4, 2011

At first glance it’s hard to believe the Stromer is an electric bike. It’s subtle battery placement in the bottom tube, the unintrusive rear-hub motor, and the unassuming handle bar mounted console all contribute to a low-profile and high-powered electric system. The Stromer electric bike also comes in four different frame sizes – each with [...]

September 10, 2011

Remember the good old days? When bikes were cheap, had coaster brakes and only one gear? I’m speaking of the great golden age of BMX – the 1980s. Okay, so the new Dahon Speed Uno – a more affordably priced variation of the popular Mu Uno – isn’t actually a BMX bike. Don’t scratch your [...]

September 2, 2011

A guest post from our old friend Harrison W. When kick scooters first started gaining popularity in New York City, it was with the Razor scooter.

I wish I’d been at the Brompton World Championship

August 29, 2011

Usually when people talk about this Canadian built electric bike kit they discuss the pros: smooth assistance, a lightweight motor and battery, and the amazing way in which it augments your leg power rather than replacing it.
