I get a commission when you purchase products via our Amazon or brand affiliate links. This won’t cost you anything extra. Instead, E-Biking Today's research, writing, and videos are supported by getting a small percentage of your purchase from bike accessories and e-bike brands. Brands sometimes provide their ebike products for independent review and testing. They don't tell me what to say or do. Instead, my opinions and comments are based solely on my evaluation and test rides. I generally conduct a speed test and power test and report the pros and cons based on my ride experience.

Thanks! Glad you liked it!

Some of them are just too heavy. Make sure you get a good size one for you.

[@ebikingtoday]

Good point... always consider if the weight is manageable!

Happy New Year you guys, looking forward to more reviews coming up in '24. What are you expecting to see more of this coming year?

[@ebikingtoday]

Happy New Year Pedro and thanks for all of the support you've shown us over the last year! I expect to see a continued trend towards more safety features, including more and better integrated lighting and hydraulic braking. And I'm hoping that brands are going to pull out all the stops to make lighter frames... fingers crossed!

@@ebikingtoday IF YOU WERE GIVEN A CHOICE BETWEEN HYDRAULIC BRAKES OR TORQUE SENSOR, WHICH WOULD YOU TAKE?

[@ebikingtoday]

@@pedrofernandez8729 Don't make me choose LOL! I want them both, but if I had to choose, I'd take the hydraulic brakes. Stopping safely is of greater importance. Of course, a torque sensor can be safer than a cadence sensor as well (since cadence sometimes has a mind of its own).

[@pedrofernandez8729]

@@ebikingtoday Have you ever experienced "ghost pedaling" with torque sensor?

[@ebikingtoday]

@pedrofernandez8729 No... and this is one of the reasons I love riding with a torque sensor. I only get out of it what I put into it. No ghost is pedaling for me 😆. Have you experienced it?
