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.

Most e-bikes are trying to look like high-end mountain bikes. The Retrospec Valen Rev 3 goes the other way, leaning into a classic American moto-design that feels like a vintage cafe racer. We put this bike through the ringer on the dirt, gravel, and paved pathways of the Tetons to see how it actually stacks up. Moto […]
The e-bike arms race is officially in full swing, and Euybike is throwing a heavy-weight punch with the K6 Pro Max. This is our 6th time working with the brand, and we’ve watched them evolve from entry-level commuters to building what I can only describe as “two-wheeled tanks.” After pushing this bike to its limits on […]
E-bikes have fundamentally changed how we access the mountains, but they have also exposed a massive weakness in traditional gear: weight. In the Teton backcountry—where a “quick ride” often involves miles of washboard dirt roads and high-speed mountain passes—a standard bike rack simply won’t cut it. We’ve seen too many $5,000 electric bikes bouncing precariously off […]

This is our 4th Mokwheel review since 2023, and […]

The Puckipuppy Labrador Pro is a solid full-suspension e-bike that truly lives up to its adventurous name, hinting at a loyal companion ready for any challenge. But does this all-terrain marvel truly stand out from the pack, or will it get lost in the wilderness of options? I took the Labrador Pro out and tested […]
