Riese and Muller eBike Homage Review

The Homage electric bike model from European electric bike brand Riese and Muller is a very well considered electric city bike. Very few bikes are rated this high on the Tower eBike Score scale. It gets a 90 and even higher on it's specialty score when we omit our "comfort" and "universal" ratings. At 64 lbs this e-Bike is a little heavy but it's all done with quality parts. Note that this electric bicycle gets a score of only 4 our our low proprietary risk scale, which means it may be hard to find parts if Riese and Muller were to go out of business or stop supporting this specific model at some point in the future. read more »

We are going to be reviewing and rating the Priority Current Electric Bike from the company Priority Bicycles. This company has a popular name within the bike industry. They aren’t just in the e-bike niche, however. They make tons of different electric bikes and road-style regular bikes as well. They've got quite a big team over there. The Priority Current model is their take on a road-style electric bike. It's a mid-drive belt-driven bike. It's built for a commuter or someone who lives in a city who is looking for a little bit more assistance in speed to get from point A to point B a bit quicker. The Priority Current scored an 82 on our 100-point Tower e-Bikes Specialty Score; which rates it at an outstanding e-bike. This is one of the better e-bikes we have seen come into our shop here.

Juiced CrossCurrent Step-Thru Review

Juiced labels it's CrossCurrent model as a "commuter bike". With it's flat end handlebars and downright positioning the CrossCurrent definitely feels and rides like a stereotypical road bike.

As a company Juiced scored low on our low proprietary risk as Juiced customers have had experience with parts shortages and relatively poor customer service. Overall, the Juiced CrossCurrent scored a 73 on our Tower ebike score giving it a very good eBike rating.read more »
