I’ve reviewed several Heybikes at this point, and I’ve largely found them to be good, but not great, bikes that...

When he was orphaned by Geocities, Cameron set out to learn how he could carve out his very own corner of the web. He is especially enthusiastic about motorcycles and ebikes, and has owned 8 of the former and 11 of the latter. In 2010, he turbocharged a Kia Forte in his garage (coindidentally, he learned that same year why that is a dumb idea). His favorite color doesn't matter (since he's colorblind), but don't remind him of that or he'll be seeing red (he thinks). His wife dresses him in order to save him from a repeat of the "navy and black" fiasco of 2015.
With Spring finally here again, I’m glad to be back in the saddle and have been spending nearly six weeks...
The last ebike I reviewed was a Heybike – the 1,000-watt Ranger S folder. By comparison, the Horizon is quite similar while also being very different. Rocking a 750-watt hub motor but with a full suspension frame and 24” x 4” wheels, the Horizon is the slower, heavier, bigger brother....
The updated-for-2024 HeyBike Ranger S arrived on my doorstep in mid-October. Thankfully, Alberta has had a relatively mild fall, which...
The Fucare Gemini X is one of the most eye-catching ebikes I’ve seen or ridden. Its trellis frame deviates significantly...
The new-for-2024 Himiway A7 Pro fills a unique role in the commuter ebike segment, offering a full-air-suspension setup with a powerful 500-watt mid-drive torque-sensing motor (with throttle). It’s an unusual, and excellent, configuration. Arriving at my home in early May, the A7 Pro has been ridden by numerous people with...

The Himiway D5 Zebra is the follow-up to the Zebra (which I reviewed last year). In addition to appending D5...
New for 2024, the Surface 604 Trio is unique among its three-wheeled peers because of its mid-drive motor configuration. Instead of a hub motor in the front or rear wheels, the mid-drive motor provides ample power and better weight distribution than any hub configuration. If you’re short on time, here...
Two weeks ago, I received the new-for-this-year Himiway C5 to review. The C5 is a full-suspension motorcycle-inspired ebike with motorcycle-style...
Having reviewed the KBO Breeze in 2021, I knew what to expect from the Compact: a value-focused ebike using entry-level...
Shopping the Brawn and wanting to understand what it’s like to live with? This is the review for you. The HeyBike Brawn is a fat-tire hardtail priced at $1,799 USD. It has a potent 750-watt rear hub motor and a unique motorcycle-esque front suspension setup. It’s also a confusing bike, with...

If I were someone who wanted an inexpensive way to travel around 60 km (~37 miles) every day and didn’t...
The 2023 Michael Blast Soda is an entry-level hub-drive ebike. Priced at just under $2,000 ($2,500 CAD), the Soda is at the upper end of the entry-level price bracket. It’s a fun bike with a cool compact step-thru frame and 20” wheels, using the Shimano Altus X7 7-speed groupset. Michael...
It’s late fall, and the weather is still warm, though the mornings have that special brand of chill that reminds...

Note: this is a comprehensive review of the HeyBike Tyson, coming in at 4,400 words and going over every aspect of the bike. If you’re shopping the Tyson and want to see what it’s like to own and ride, this review was made for you. Folding ebikes are widely popular,...

The 2023 Surface 604 Big Sky is the step-over cousin of the Sunny Day, which I recently reviewed and enjoyed....
I’m back for another ebike review with the 2023 Surface 604 Sunny Day. This cruiser-style ebike is tastefully designed and well-made: a great combination that would make it an ideal daily rider for someone with a short commute or for someone that wants to hit the (paved) trails/pathways on the...
Not long after I published my Outsider 4.0 review in May, Michael Blast got in touch and asked if I’d...
The Surface 604 V-Rook is a variant of the Rook, a Step-Thru ebike from the Canadian brand. The Rook is...
While it isn’t the first folding ebike I’ve ridden, the 2023 Surface 604 Twist is the first one reviewed on webBikeWorld. See more ebike reviews here. Folding ebikes are an interesting breed. Designed primarily for commuting and convenience, a folding frame necessitates some compromises from its rider. They are often...

Review Summary The KBO Breeze is $1,399 USD as of September 25, 2022 There are two models: the Breeze, with a traditional step-over frame, and the Breeze Step-Thru, which uses a step-thru frame. For the budget-minded buyer, the Breeze is a good all-around entry-level ebike that is suitable for paved...

The miles piled on the Himiway Cruiser quite quickly. Shortly after we did our unboxing article we promptly hit the trails. The Cruiser has proven to be a mixed blessing. On one hand, it’s shown us how a direct-to-consumer eBike brand can deliver acceptable quality and sufficient capability at an...
eBikes have been on my radar for several years, but due to my professional mix (and the fact that I...
Himiway emailed us several months ago about sending us an eBike for review. We connected and asked to review all...
Ahh, the Pedego Boomerang: the eBike that bills itself as “the world’s most accessible eBike”, and with an ultra-low 9” step, Pedego may well be on to something. As many reviewers will note in their writeups and videos, the Boomerang is the standard-bearer when it comes to accessible low-step bikes....
I’m excited that eBikes are now part of my professional mix, and not just because they’re a lot of fun...
