When he was orphaned by Geocities, Cameron set out to learn how he could carve out his very own corner of the web. He is especially enthusiastic about motorcycles and ebikes, and has owned 8 of the former and 11 of the latter. In 2010, he turbocharged a Kia Forte in his garage (coindidentally, he learned that same year why that is a dumb idea). His favorite color doesn't matter (since he's colorblind), but don't remind him of that or he'll be seeing red (he thinks). His wife dresses him in order to save him from a repeat of the "navy and black" fiasco of 2015.

The new-for-2024 Himiway A7 Pro fills a unique role in the commuter ebike segment, offering a full-air-suspension setup with a powerful 500-watt mid-drive torque-sensing motor (with throttle).

New for 2024, the Surface 604 Trio is unique among its three-wheeled peers because of its mid-drive motor configuration. Instead of a hub motor in the front or rear wheels, the mid-drive motor provides ample power and better weight distribution than any hub configuration. If you’re short on time, here...

The 2023 Michael Blast Soda is an entry-level hub-drive ebike. Priced at just under $2,000 ($2,500 CAD), the Soda is at the upper end of the entry-level price bracket. It’s a fun bike with a cool compact step-thru frame and 20” wheels, using the Shimano Altus X7 7-speed groupset. Michael...

I’m back for another ebike review with the 2023 Surface 604 Sunny Day. This cruiser-style ebike is tastefully designed and well-made: a great combination that would make it an ideal daily rider for someone with a short commute or for someone that wants to hit the (paved) trails/pathways on the...

While it isn’t the first folding ebike I’ve ridden, the 2023 Surface 604 Twist is the first one reviewed on webBikeWorld. See more ebike reviews here. Folding ebikes are an interesting breed.

The miles piled on the Himiway Cruiser quite quickly. Shortly after we did our unboxing article we promptly hit the trails. The Cruiser has proven to be a mixed blessing. On one hand, it’s shown us how a direct-to-consumer eBike brand can deliver acceptable quality and sufficient capability at an...

Ahh, the Pedego Boomerang: the eBike that bills itself as “the world’s most accessible eBike”, and with an ultra-low 9” step, Pedego may well be on to something. As many reviewers will note in their writeups and videos, the Boomerang is the standard-bearer when it comes to accessible low-step bikes....
