When most people think about how a bicycle frame is built, they probably imagine sparks flying from a welding torch.

That’s certainly how the vast majority of aluminum bike frames are made. But one British e-bike company is taking a very different approach, and it has more in common with Aston Martin sports cars and aerospace engineering than traditional bicycle manufacturing.

One of the most common questions I hear from people considering an e-bike right now, during a period of soaring energy prices, is some variation of “Can it actually save me money?”

The answer is yes. Quite a bit, actually. But the interesting part is that most people focus on the wrong number.

When a new e-bike company launches, it’s usually not a huge deal. The industry sees new brands appear all the time, many of them little more than a logo slapped onto an existing bike from a Chinese catalog.

But Monarc isn’t just another startup hoping to make a splash – it’s all but guaranteed to set off a tsunami.

Police departments are increasingly turning to drones as a tool for tracking and apprehending riders of non-street legal e-bikes, off-road electric motorcycles, and other non-compliant vehicles being used on public streets and trails.

The issue of e-bike scofflaws has grown considerably over the last few years, normally taking the form of teenagers on fast e-bikes illegally cruising down sidewalks or recklessly riding through intersections. But as it turns out, Canada’s largest province is full of e-bike scofflaws of a different variety: parents simply wanting to bring their kids to school without using a car.

In a fascinating case that is sure to spark more casual arguments than it settled, a judge was recently forced to make a ruling on whether or not “mime pedaling” counted as truly pedaling an electric bike.

Juiced Bikes says its newly launched Scrambler e-bikes are now officially in stock and shipping, marking the next step in the brand’s return after its acquisition and relaunch under the team behind Lectric eBikes.

ENGWE is best known for chunky folding fat tire e-bikes and budget-friendly commuter models, but the company is now taking a decidedly more refined turn with the launch of its new ENGWE Zip compact folding e-bike.

It’s got a lot of interesting angles, but the most eyebrow-raising might just be the USB-C charging battery that powers the bike, allowing riders to charge it with a standard laptop charger.

Honda’s electric RTL trials motorcycle has just delivered one of the strongest signs yet that electric motorcycles may finally be coming into their own in the off-road world.

At the opening round of the 2026 TrialGP World Championship in Japan, rider Miquel Gelabert piloted the Honda RTL Electric to sixth place overall on day one before improving to fifth place on day two. That marks the first time an electric motorcycle has not only competed in TrialGP’s premier class, but actually run competitively near the front against traditional gasoline-powered rivals. For a first effort, that’s an impressive showing.

It looks like Rad Power Bikes owners may soon have a more affordable path to upgrading to the company’s newer Safe Shield battery technology.

In an email just sent out today, Rad Life Mobility announced plans for a program that would allow eligible customers to receive up to 50% off replacement Safe Shield batteries for older Rad e-bikes.

If you spend enough time reading local news headlines these days, you’d be forgiven for thinking electric bicycles are one of the greatest threats facing American streets. Teenagers on fat-tire e-bikes, viral videos of wheelies, stories about injuries complete with ER doctor interviews… the same themes are playing on repeat.

New York lawmakers had been pushing for increased e-bike regulations this year, including potential registration and even licensing for e-bikes. But now it looks like the sails propelling the movement have run out of wind, at least for now.

For years, the school drop-off line has been one of the defining rituals of suburban life: a long queue of idling SUVs inching toward the curb while stressed parents try to make it to work on time and kids stare at their phones in the back seat.

But in a growing number of communities around the world, another option is starting to catch on: the bike bus.

And parents are absolutely loving it.

A new bill in Delaware could change how electric bikes and other small electric vehicles are marketed and sold, aiming to crack down on what lawmakers see as growing confusion between legal e-bikes and higher-powered electric mopeds or motorcycles.
