This week’s episode includes a bit of everything, from news on the political front to some intriguing new products, and even the potential return of an electric motorcycle brand.

One of the coolest news pieces highlighted a new wheel hub from Shimano with an automatic shifting system and a self-charging power source. The system is compatible with the brand’s CUES drivetrain, which we anticipate seeing a lot more of on e-bikes in the near future.

John takes us on a tour of Glacier National Park in Montana, where e-bikers can enjoy incredible scenery while riding Going-to-the-Sun Road.

We also address recent questions and comments from YouTube and our website. Topics include the best temperature range for riding e-bikes, the effect of different torque ratings on hill climbing, and personalized recommendations for a photographer at music festivals and a simple-to-use e-bike for a rider fresh out of the Costa Rican jungles.

This week’s e-bike news brings a wave of new releases and one welcome comeback story. At the Bentonville Bike Fest, several notable brands showed off their latest gear, but what stood out were the displays from newer and emerging companies. Many brought fresh innovations, whether in bikes, components, or supporting infrastructure.

Specialized has already launched the Gen 4 Turbo Levo lineup, but more budget-friendly aluminum models are now hitting the market. These retain many of the same internal components as their pricier carbon counterparts, offering riders a powerful, big-battery all-mountain rig at a significantly lower starting price.

And in a positive twist after a string of brand closures, Revel Bikes is making a return, now back in the hands of its original founder Adam Miller who plans on reshaping the team and returning the brand back to its roots.

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!
