This was a lighter week in the world of e-bike news, but we still managed to dig up some cool stories! A Yamaha-backed startup is planning to roll out battery swapping stations in two major European cities. Pirelli is set to release a new road tire with sizes up to 55mm(!) wide. And a new low-profile helmet design is nearing its funding goal on Kickstarter.

As always, we respond to a variety of questions from our audience, with topics ranging from adjusting your suspension to the e-bike we’ve had the most fun riding and testing. We also do a comparison between two of the biggest bikes in the fat tire category - the Aventon Aventure 3 and Velotric Nomad 2!

Griffin takes us on a tour of a gorgeous e-bike-friendly trail in Connecticut.

And finally, we highlight a rider who travels over 100 miles every day to work and back!

This was a busy week in the world of e-bikes! In Episode 30, we highlight a bunch of big news stories, including the closure of GasGas and Husqvarna, proposed UL certification requirements by the CPSC, and a Kickstarter campaign for a funky elliptical-like saddle.

We dive into some details about three of the biggest new e-bike releases: the Aventon Aventure 3 and the Lectric XP4, which comes in both a 500W and 750W version.

Griffin takes us on a tour of a familiar path near his hometown in northern Utah called the Jordan River Parkway Trail System.

We also respond to a few questions and comments from our audience, with an in-depth comparison between the Aventure 3 and the Heybike Alpha and a shorter look at the similarities between the Velotric Breeze 1 and Discover 2.

We also discuss questions about sizing/fit and visibility features of the Lectric XP4 and share some thoughts on why riders might choose a premium city bike over one that costs significantly less.
