We discuss this topic as well as what is going on with Aventon's brake lights?\nIn this week’s episode, we discuss the week’s bike-specific news, respond to questions and comments from our audience, highlight some of the best sales currently going on, and explore an e-bike-friendly trail in British Columbia. \nAs expected following the Trump administration’s sweeping tariffs, e-bike prices are on the rise, and the big brands in the industry are not exempt. Trek and Specialized will be increasing their prices, just as we’ve seen from smaller companies. \nCanyon has a cool concept e-bike that breaks from the norms, and the brand wants feedback on whether it should come to life! \nWe dive into some comparisons between two Trek Allant models; is a first-gen Allant+ 8S a better choice than the 7 Gen 2? We also compare specs and performance data for the Ride1Up Vorsa and LMT’D V2. \nGriffin also takes us to Canada to talk about the Kettle Valley Rail Trail. \nFor all the details, be sure to see the full episode! \nDeal Links:\nRide1Up - Revv into Spring Sale: https://ebrdeals.com/Ride1UpPromos\nAventon - Clearance Sale: https://ebrdeals.com/AventonPromos\nSpecialized - Sale E-Bikes: https://ebrdeals.com/SpecializedPromos\nAccessories / Gear:\nhttps://highabove.net/collections/packs/products/supernatural-vest-pack\nNew 2025 Best Pages & Videos That Went Live\nhttps://electricbikereport.com/best-commuter-electric-bikes/\nhttps://electricbikereport.com/best-electric-cargo-bikes/\nRecent Reviews:\nFiido Air Review: https://electricbikereport.com/fiido-air-review/\nHeybike Alpha Review: https://electricbikereport.com/heybike-alpha-review/\nE-Bike Trail System of the Week:\nKettle Valley Rail Trail, British Columbia, Canada\nBikes Discussed in this Episode:\nTrek Allant+ 8S - https://ebrdeals.com/ebr-Trek-AllantPlus8S\nRide1Up Vorsa - https://ebrdeals.com/Ride1UpVorsa\nRide1Up LMT’D V2 -...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/q7GQ6yx_heaZ8i1kYiryNdi2tlCYjNBATnpyd94bBPw/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS8zNDQz/ODg3MTg5ZmMxZjMy/NDZhN2I3Y2RmNzVj/ZDUwNi5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
