from The Weekly Recharge from Electric Bike Report · host Electric Bike Report

We’ve reached Episode 26 of The Weekly Recharge, so we’re celebrating our six-month anniversary of starting the show! As seems to be the new norm, there are big changes to the trade status between the US and other countries, with some tariffs going down and others skyrocketing. Specialized released the newest Turbo Levo eMTB, and the brand has also issued a voluntary recall for three e-bikes. Considering all the new e-bikes we’ve covered—and the tariff situation—now is the time to consider your next e-bike purchase. We dive into a ton of comparisons between various models as we respond to questions from our audience. Speaking of our audience, our Rider of the Week from Episode 25 mentioned the Polly Ann Trail in Michigan. Griffin dove into some research to highlight that bike-friendly trail in this episode! The Top E-Bikes We Recommend:https://electricbikereport.com/best-electric-bikes/ Accessories / Gear:🔗 Check The Accessories for the Vorsa: https://ebrdeals.com/Ride1UpVorsa 📖 Full written review & specs: https://electricbikereport.com/ride1up-vorsa-review/Recent Reviews:https://electricbikereport.com/specialized-turbo-levo-4-review/https://electricbikereport.com/lectric-xpedition-2-review/E-Bike Trail System of the Week:https://www.traillink.com/trail/polly-ann-trail/ Email questions to: [email protected]  (or comment on this video, we love comments)Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/electricbikereport/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ElectricBikeReportX (Twitter): https://twitter.com/E_BikeReport#electricbike #podcastshow #cycling #ebikes00:00 - Intro00:43 - Cool E-bike Finds04:13 - News Of The Week11:43 - Gear Highlight14:30 - Currently Testing & Recent Reviews16:17 - E-Bike Trail Systems19:10 - Questions & Comments19:23 - Velotric Discover 2 vs Velotric Nomad 227:16 - Upgrade to Radrunner 3, Level 3 or Sinch 2.5?31:13 - Ride1Up Portola or Aventon Sinch 2.5?34:43 - Replacing a Ride1Up Roadster v3 with a Ride1Up Vorsa?37:13 - Mokwheel Basalt vs Mokwheel Obsidian40:59 - Do we recommend the Ride1Up Vorsa for a heavy rider?42:27 - Deals Of The Week44:49 - Rider Highlight46:16 - Wrap Up
