Comfortable 25 MPH fat tire e-bike

March 31, 2022 admin

The Addmotor M-430 may not look like much of a performance e-bike, but the don’t judge a book by its cover adage holds with electric bikes as well. Believe it or not, this relaxing-looking cruiser e-bike is actually a peppy ride when you open it up.

That’s not something we often associate with cruiser bikes.

Generally they’re more for the low-and-slow crowd, offering a comfortable ride in exchange for somewhat lower tuned performance.

That’s not to say I haven’t ridden my fair share of high-power electric cruiser bikes. But they’re the exception, not the rule.

The Addmotor M-430 needs to

Metzeler Touran… | On-road adventure motorcycle review

March 30, 2022 admin

IF you ride an adventure touring motorcycle and stick mainly to the roads and rarely travel off-road, the chances are that the Metzeler Tourance Next hoops will be familiar products to you.

Matthews: Motorbikes had a big impact in the final of Milan-San Remo

March 28, 2022 admin

Rapid in a sprint, resistant on a climb, Michael Matthews (BikeExchange-Jayco) is always something of a guarantee at Milan-San Remo, even in a year like this one, when his preparation was blighted by ill fortune.

The Australian was, almost inevitably, once again prominent on Saturday, but come the Via Roma, the great race remained as maddeningly close and far away as ever before. He crossed the line in fourth place, two seconds down on winner Matej Mohorič (Bahrain Victorious), pipped to the podium by the returning Mathieu van der Poel (Alpecin-Fenix).

Half of Matthews’ 10 participations at La Primavera have

Arch Motorcycle Ramps Up Production Of Sporty 1s Cruiser

March 25, 2022 admin

Arch Motorcycle has made a name for itself with bespoke designs, big-bore V-twins, even bigger price tags. Back at EICMA 2017, the California-based brand presented its KRGT-1 production model, Method 143 prototype, and Arch’s second production bike—the 1s. After five years in development, Arch is ready to take the sporty new cruiser to the production line.

The 2017 1s concept featured mid-controls, aerodynamic bodywork, a single-sided swingarm, and a model-specific up-swept exhaust. Those components remain, but Arch fills in the rest of the details with a full spec sheet. S&S Cycle still supplies the 124ci (2,032cc), 45-degree V-twin, but Arch

Retrospective: 1990-2002 Honda ST1100 | Rider Magazine

YEAR/MODEL: 2002 Honda ST1100

OWNER: Clement Salvadori

HOMETOWN: Atascadero, California

Back in the late 1980s, the European market was as important to Honda as the American one. And motorcycles were popular, as cars and car insurance were more expensive than they were here. The demand was quite different, with Yanks liking big cruisers and narrowly focused sporting machines, while those east of the Atlantic had more of a practical approach, favoring motorcycles that could be used to commute on workdays, and then go two-up on a vacation.

Each motorcycle company is constantly looking around to see what the competition
