Not everyone needs the Talon T787’s dual motors and 90-mile range. For riders looking for the same moto-inspired styling, fat tires and full suspension package at nearly half the price, the Talon T757 hits a sweet spot. We tested the T757 around Jackson Hole and Wilson, Wyoming on pavement, bike paths, gravel roads and light […]
After reviewing the Aniioki AQ177 Pro Max a few years ago, one thing stood out above everything else: range. The bike seemed to go forever. Fast forward to 2026 and Aniioki has taken a very different approach with the new A9 Pro Max lineup. Instead of focusing solely on battery capacity, the company has built […]
The original Yakima OnRamp quickly became one of our favorite ways to transport heavy e-bikes thanks to one simple feature: a built-in loading ramp. Instead of deadlifting a 70-pound e-bike chest high onto a rack, you simply roll it into place. The new Yakima OnRamp LX builds on that formula with a stronger chassis, higher […]
The cargo e-bike world is exploding right now, but very few brands actually understand how families ride bikes in the real world. Xtracycle does. After more than 25 years building cargo bikes, the California-based brand continues refining what made them famous in the first place: intuitive handling, practical utility and bikes that genuinely replace car […]
When it comes to everyday urban commuting, grocery runs, or cruising around mountain ski town, a heavy, aggressive e-mountain bike is usually overkill. Most riders don’t need knobs designed for loose shale; they need comfort, utility, and absolute simplicity. The Retrospec Beaumont Rev+ steps into the city commuter market by taking the brand’s classic Euro-style […]
The Yakima StepUp Swing enters the crowded hitch rack market with a simple idea that actually matters in the real world: easier rear vehicle access without unloading your bikes. After years of testing heavy e-bikes, fat tire hunting bikes, ski gear haulers, and tailgate setups around Jackson Hole, Wyoming, one thing becomes obvious quickly: most […]
For 24 years, Mountain Weekly News has field-audited independent products across the unforgiving, high-altitude terrain of the Rocky Mountains. When evaluating the best off-road electric bikes, our testing criteria demand hardware that delivers technical provenance over generic marketing fluff. We put the step-over Mokwheel Onyx through a rigorous multi-season testing gauntlet starting in the fall […]
For decades, the standard for backcountry access was the ATV or the horse. But in the steep, technical terrain of the Tetons and the Rockies, a new predator has emerged: the High-Performance Hunting E-Bike. At Mountain Weekly News, we don’t do shallow “sidewalk tests.” We take these high-torque machines deep into the Absarokas and the […]
Mooncool has officially returned from the 2026 Sea Otter Classic with a new flagship: the Mooncool TK2. While we’ve spent the last few years testing the TK1 and the heavy-duty TK Pro in the steep, often snowy streets of Jackson, Wyoming, the TK2 represents a significant technical evolution. Marketed with the mantra “More Comfort, More Confidence, […]
Most e-bikes are built to help you cruise the neighborhood. The Talon T787 is built to conquer the mountains. At Mountain Weekly News, we put gear through the ringer in the high-elevation, variable terrain of the Tetons, and this bike—a literal “beast” of a machine—is one of the most robust “e-motos” we’ve ever swung a leg over.
