One of readers asked if a 250W motor feels any different that pedaling with no motor at all? We discuss this topic as well as what is going on with Aventon's brake lights?In this week’s episode, we discuss the week’s bike-specific news, respond to questions and comments from our audience, highlight some of the best sales currently going on, and explore an e-bike-friendly trail in British Columbia. As expected following the Trump administration’s sweeping tariffs, e-bike prices are on the rise, and the big brands in the industry are not exempt. Trek and Specialized will be increasing their prices, just as we’ve seen from smaller companies. Canyon has a cool concept e-bike that breaks from the norms, and the brand wants feedback on whether it should come to life! We dive into some comparisons between two Trek Allant models; is a first-gen Allant+ 8S a better choice than the 7 Gen 2? We also compare specs and performance data for the Ride1Up Vorsa and LMT’D V2. Griffin also takes us to Canada to talk about the Kettle Valley Rail Trail. For all the details, be sure to see the full episode!
