Written by Nathaniel Snow (Gears Leaside Staff) Beasty Boy Does the Don First things first, this isn’t a mountain bike. It’s an electric pedal assist, climb-crushing, downhill-smashing mountain machine.

At Gears, we’ve been delving into the e-Bike market for several years and we’ve seen the incredible joy and fun they bring to those who “discover” what this technology has to offer.

My guess is that the name comes from Lake Como in northern Italy. It is incredibly beautiful. Lifestyle in the … Continue reading Review: Specialized Turbo Como 3.0
Again, a special e-bike has been dropped off at our Canary District store for display and demos (what’s with Canary getting all the e-bike goodies, is it because they have the loudest chirp? lol) so I get an email from Michael who gives me the lowdown. This time it is the Electra Townie Commute Go! … Continue reading Review: Electra Townie Commute Go!
People visiting our store, upon seeing the Evo Big Bud from Easy Motion, respond with words like zany, weird, puzzling, and ask why someone would buy something like that.
