A little while back, we took a look at a large cargo bike from Urban Arrow that had some interesting features: a drive train that sported continuous variable gearing and a belt drive. But it was difficult to get a feel for what using that drivetrain was like when it was being used to shift a large and extremely heavy cargo bike. So, I jumped at the opportunity when Urban Arrow's sister company, Gazelle, offered a chance to ride one of its new Arroyo models, which feature the same drivetrain, but this time coupled to a fairly standard commuter bike.

Today, Scott introduces its most recent road offering, the Fastlane. On the outside, it appears to be a sleek new road bike: a lightweight carbon frame, aggressive geometry, and clean lines. But, beneath it all, the Fastlane is hiding something. A TQ HPR40 drive unit, to be exact. Despite first glances, the Scott Fastlane is an e-bike. Life in the (Scott) Fastlane A narrow downtube, a nearly regular-sized bottom bracket, and no toptube buttons or screens.

Not only does it feature a powerful 750W rear-hub motor capable of accelerating up to 28 mph, it has dual batteries with a total of 720 watt-hours (Wh) of capacity.

I smashed my head and lay on the pavement for several minutes before anybody even came over to check on me.

The Evelo Atlas is a bike of possibilities. It once held a Guinness World Record for assisting a rider in completing the then-longest e-bike tour at more than 8,000 miles. But you don't need epic ambitions to enjoy it. This is a bike that appeals equally to tech enthusiasts, power seekers, casual riders, or even those who haven't been on a bike in decades-it wears many hats.

Two things about the Specialized Turbo Vado SL 2 6.0 Carbon are hard to fathom: One is how light and lithe it feels as an e-bike, even with the battery off; the other is how hard it is to recite its full name when other riders ask you about the bike at stop lights and pit stops. I've tested about a half-dozen e-bikes for Ars Technica. Each test period has included a ride with my regular group for about 30 miles. Nobody else in my group rides electric, so I try riding with no assist, at least part of the way. Usually I give up after a mile or two, realizing that most e-bikes are not designed for unpowered rides.

Euphree's Solar Sparrow is one of the brand's most affordable models, but it still carries the hallmarks of a Euphree experience: comfort, style, and adaptability. It's not just their lower-priced option, it's also the brand's lightest e-bike in the lineup, simplified with a clean Gates Carbon Belt Drive that keeps maintenance to a minimum. Euphree has never aimed for bargain-basement pricing or luxury exclusivity; instead, it carves out a middle ground with well-chosen features at reasonable costs.
