This week on The Weekly Recharge, we’re covering a packed lineup of e-bike news, including Amflow’s new TL Carbon SUV-style touring e-bike, a CPSC stop-ride warning for certain RideStar models, a lawsuit over fake UL certification claims, and a deeper look at whether regenerative braking on e-bikes is actually worthwhile.Amflow and Avinox are back with the TL Carbon, a full-suspension SUV-style touring e-bike built for commuting, trekking, long-distance touring, and light trail riding. It features a carbon fiber frame, Fox suspension, the Avinox M2 mid-drive motor, traction control, multiple battery options, and a claimed range of up to 169 miles with a range extender.We also discuss Amazon and UL winning a lawsuit against companies accused of falsely claiming UL certification on e-bikes and e-scooters, plus the CPSC’s stop-ride notice for certain RideStar Q20 and Q20 Lite e-bikes due to reported safety concerns.👕 Merch + Rider of the WeekRiders highlighted during the Rider of the Week section get a free T-shirt!
