    This week on The Weekly Recharge, we cover Lectric's huge milestone: more than $1 billion in e-bike sales and 750,000 e-bikes sold. We also discuss the Velotric Summit 2 and whether its versatility, tech, customization, security features, and component upgrades help justify its price compared to other hub-drive e-bikes and mid-drive options like the Ride1Up TrailRush. Plus, we look at new e-bikes from Scott, Mondraker, and Kona, including Scott's Bosch-powered Sweep city bikes, Mondraker's second-generation Dusty e-gravel bike, and Kona's new El Kahuna SUV-style trekking e-bike. Later in the episode, we break down the key differences between rear hub motors and mid-drive motors, including ride feel, hill climbing, shifting, maintenance, cost, efficiency, and which setup might make more sense for different riders. We also highlight British Columbia as a dream bike trip destination, with stops in Vancouver and Whistler, talk about recent reviews and testing, share deals from Aventon and Tenways, and feature this week's Rider of the Week.

    This week on The Weekly Recharge, we’re covering a packed lineup of new e-bike news, new bikes in testing, viewer questions, trail recommendations, and deals. Volkswagen-branded e-bikes are now available for preorder through N Plus, with two new models called the Sport and Crossover. Both bikes include Yamaha mid-drive motors, integrated lighting, Apple Find My compatibility, security features, optional range extenders, and some seriously high-tech extras like rear radar, a rear-facing camera, smart helmet compatibility, and smart glasses with a heads-up display. We also take a look at the new Tern HSD Gen 3, a midsize longtail cargo e-bike with Bosch Gen 5 motors, vertical storage, room for one passenger, and a wide rider fit range from 4’11” to 6’9”. Plus, the CPSC is moving toward electronic certification filing for imported e-bikes and micromobility devices, which could change how imported products are reviewed for safety compliance. Specialized also announced new Turbo Vado IG models in Europe, featuring internal gear hubs, Gates belt drives, big batteries, mid-drive motors, and low-maintenance commuter setups. 👕 Merch + Rider of the WeekRiders highlighted during the Rider of the Week section get a free T-shirt!

    E-Bike Prices Could Go Up Again & A 30A E-Bike Fast Charger?! This Is Insane | TWR Ep 90

    This week on The Weekly Recharge, we’re covering several major e-bike industry stories, including proposed new tariffs, stricter battery safety standards, Florida’s vetoed e-bike speed limit bill, a wild 30A fast charger, and Rad Life Mobility’s acquisition of QuietKat. The USTR has announced proposed new tariffs that could affect major bike industry source countries, potentially adding 10–12.5% tariffs on goods from dozens of countries. We break down what that could mean for the bike industry and why PeopleForBikes is encouraging industry members to submit comments. We also look at the CPSC’s proposal for stricter UL testing standards, including updates related to tamper-resistant battery packs, safer charging protections, reverse-polarity testing, and lithium-ion battery safety. Plus, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis vetoed SB 382, the bill that would have created a 10 MPH e-bike speed limit when riding within 50 feet of pedestrians. 👕 Merch + Rider of the WeekRiders highlighted during the Rider of the Week section get a free T-shirt!

    Bosch Just Made a Rear Hub Motor & Avinox Just Revealed a Monster E-Bike Motor TWR Ep 89

    This week on The Weekly Recharge, we’re diving into some of the biggest e-bike motor news coming out of Eurobike. Avinox revealed its new Motor Gearbox Concept, a powerful all-in-one mid-drive and internal gear system with up to 1500W of peak power and 150Nm of torque. It also includes regenerative braking, customizable gear profiles, automatic shifting, electronic shifting, anti-theft motor locking, and compatibility with chain or belt drive setups. Bosch also made major news with the debut of its new Hubline rear hub motor — a big move from a company best known for mid-drive systems. The new motor is designed for lightweight city e-bikes, supports speeds up to 28 MPH, works with Bosch’s Flow app, and is even compatible with throttle levers for the U.S. market. 👕 Merch + Rider of the WeekRiders highlighted during the Rider of the Week section get a free T-shirt!
