I’ve been taking two or three 45-minute phone calls a day about electric assists and wanted to put the information all in one place. The following is what we usually end up talking about and is a mix of fact and opinion. The Basics Let’s start with the basics. E-assists fall into two main types-hub

Hunters, farmers and anyone who loves the outdoors-the Velotric Nomad 2X is a beast of a bike. Full suspension with air shocks front and rear, a 750 watt motor with 105Nm of torque, four inch wide fat tires, camo paint job, towing capacity of 1000 lbs. Sounds more like a truck than a bike. A

The Velotric Breeze 1 is a smart choice for someone looking for an E-Bike with a focus on light weight, comfort, and ease of use. At 48 lbs., the Breeze 1 is about 10 lbs. lighter than most of the competition in the same price range. That makes a huge difference lifting it onto a

Looking for an E-Bike that will fold to fit into an RV, small apartment, or to commute to school or work? The Fold 1 Plus might be the bike you are looking for. This folding E-Bike checks off a lot of boxes. It folds down to a tiny 37.8” x 19.7” x 33.5” package in

We have something new here at the Bicycleman, Velotric E-assist, NON-recumbent bikes! This Summer I drove down to the Pine Creek Trail in Pennsylvania to ride my recumbent along the 60-mile, car free, Rail-To-Trail that runs along Pine Creek. If you haven’t tried it, do yourself a favor and check it out. At one of

The Bicycleman has been using electric kits from Electric Bike Outfitters for quite some time now. When they came out with complete electric bikes it made perfect sense to bring one in to try and see how customers would respond to it.

I thought people out there in internet land might like to see how we ship a recumbent trike to you. We had special boxes made to ship the trikes via 18-wheeler. They are too big to ship fully assembled via UPS or FEDEX. Then we get your measurements and set the “boom” length to your
We hear from a lot of people that they are curious about recumbents but are hesitant to buy one. It can be a lot of money to invest in an experiment to improve your comfort. Fortunately, we have a way to minimize the risk and make trying one more affordable. Currently, recumbent shops are selling
I want to give you a sense of what a first visit to the Bicycleman is like. Usually, customers have seen someone on a bike path ride by with a weird looking bike and that leads to some internet searching. If the person is within a six-hour drive, they eventually end up giving us a
