I saw a lot of first-time 'e-bike smiles' at the weekend's @cyclingelectric.bsky.social Demo Day, but no bike nor trike delivered like vanRaam's Fun2Go - a specialist vehicle designed to be a 'social tandem'.
These are excellent tools for care projects.

£1,799 and well-equipped for the urban bike commuter. Between the shock-absorbing seatpost, fold flat handlebars, 27kg MIK HD rear rack and smart software, there's both obvious and hidden value with the Tenways CGO Compact:

Cargo bike fist bumps of approval. A moment that made all the team's hard work worth it.
Epic first Demo of 2026.
Will you join us in Bath, Leeds or London again this summer?
Epic day for it. What did you enjoy riding most?
Glorious day for our first London Demo. If you've not yet made plans, come on down and enjoy the sun with us ☀️

It's a certain brand thing - direct to market e-bike in particular, or those that overly rely on proprietary parts. Almost never a problem with European brands. Most shops turn away the road illegal stuff. If it has Shimano parts its serviceable anywhere.
Hope to see you there. In the meantime, happy to answer any specifics. Definitely recommend a try before you buy with cargo, starting without kids loaded, then with.
I would wager nobody else has tested as many as we have on @cyclingelectric.bsky.social www.cyclingelectric.com/buyers-guide...
Available to test on our tracks this weekend and later into the Demo Day test series will be #electricbikes from Roxform.
Part of a series of reviews detailing various styles of #ebike with a step through frame, the £1,190 Stride S features online today.

In one of my favourite bike tests in a long time, the @ternbicycles.com Quick Haul has been an antidote to high fuel prices, helping me replace every single car journey.

I wanted to do the subject of e-MTB power/torque justice.
The only way to do that was to speak to veteran trail builders, guides, land managers & specialist MTB EU-wide organisations like IMBA.
Every one had a warning - the risk of access loss is live now:

With over 125 years producing cycles, Gazelle often scores highly in tests.
We had Richard test the Ultimate T11, a best-selling model that joins a string of do-it-all bike reviews.
He took on cobbled hill climbs to find out if it is the Ultimate #ebike

The sensible way to live life
I guess you have pretty decent oil reserves up there?
Currently 140+ times cheaper per mile on 'fuel' cost alone to ride an e-bike (charging cost) than driving a fossil fuel car. Based on UK MPG driving averages and today's local forecourt prices: www.cyclingelectric.com/in-depth/how...
On (UK) fuel cost alone, it's 140+ times more expensive to drive petrol/diesel car per mile than it is to power average e-bike
Maths: today's £1.61 petrol & £1.95 diesel cost & UK drivers' 36/43mpg average = 20p/mile. Average e-bike costs 0.14 of penny/mile

Astonishing lack of self awareness. Separately, I learned last week that Iran takes the most refugees globally. With Farage seemingly behind the war, I wonder what he would expect would happen next. Same story climate refugees.
Bosch expands eShift, adds trick measurement and adds new vertical smartphone grip.
I'll be honest, measuring your wheelie was not what I expected next from Bosch.

We all knew that Avinox would deliver on #emtb power, but for me, the gaps forming in pricing structures are a bigger story.
Here's why I think Amflow's £3,999 entry price is the biggest story of the week. Geopolitical advantage is now clear:
