The Sondors bike has taken the ebike industry by storm (see what I did there).  That being said, it isn't the right bike for everyone.  Say what!?  Let me clarify - Not everyone fits the Sondors - literally.  The one size all method to selling keeps the price point low, but it's often too tall.  Modifications in both seat posts and handlebars can accommodate taller riders.  (Unless you're 7' - then you should get a dirtysixer)  Since my wife is leaning more towards the 5' mark, even with smaller tires specifically made for the bike the standover height was a bit...

Low profile tires for fat bikes have been tested and passed with flying colors.  They are in the process of being manufactured, but are available for pre-order at a significant discount.  Check them out here.

Come along for a ride in the Leitra Velomobile.  Many know the Leitra, it has been in production longer than any other velomobile on the market. It's not the fastest but is very practical.  Mine is used as a daily commuter and has a 350 watt mid drive motor from GNG.  The battery is a 36v, 15ah lithium from PingBattery.  I find this amount of power to tackle any hill, without being too fast to pedal along with.  The Leitra has lots of storage space and has hauled many boxes and packages to and from work.  It's also great for...

More information on the streamliner can be found here:  Velox - XS 

It's here!  After receiving one of the very first Storm Sondors Fat Bikes, I decided to give it a go both on and off road.  For anyone not familiar with the bike, it's one of the most successful Indiegogo crowdfunding campaigns - ever.  With an initial goal of just $75,000, over 5 million was raised.  There was some controversy over whether or not the bike would deliver with the promised specs at the price.  Let me tell you this - It delivered.
