In Episode 30, we highlight a bunch of big news stories, including the closure of GasGas and Husqvarna, proposed UL certification requirements by the CPSC, and a Kickstarter campaign for a funky elliptical-like saddle. \nWe dive into some details about three of the biggest new e-bike releases: the Aventon Aventure 3 and the Lectric XP4, which comes in both a 500W and 750W version. \nGriffin takes us on a tour of a familiar path near his hometown in northern Utah called the Jordan River Parkway Trail System. \nWe also respond to a few questions and comments from our audience, with an in-depth comparison between the Aventure 3 and the Heybike Alpha and a shorter look at the similarities between the Velotric Breeze 1 and Discover 2. \nWe also discuss questions about sizing/fit and visibility features of the Lectric XP4 and share some thoughts on why riders might choose a premium city bike over one that costs significantly less. \nDeal Links:\nRide1Up - https://ebrdeals.com/Ride1UpPromos\nLectric - https://ebrdeals.com/LectricPromos\nRad Power Bikes - https://ebrdeals.com/RadPromos\nAventon - https://ebrdeals.com/AventonPromos\nAccessories / Gear:\nBern Hudson Helmet - https://electricbikereport.com/bern-hudson-bike-helmet-review/ \nBern Major Helmet - https://electricbikereport.com/bern-major-bike-helmet-review/ \nRecent Reviews:\nAventon Aventure 3 - https://electricbikereport.com/aventon-aventure-3-review/ \nLectric XP4 (500W) - https://electricbikereport.com/lectric-xp4-500-review/ \nLectric XP4 (750W) -  https://electricbikereport.com/lectric-xp-4-750-review/ \nE-Bike Trail System of the Week:\nThe Jordan River Parkway Trail System - https://www.traillink.com/trail/jordan-river-parkway-trail/\nOther Bikes Discussed in this Episode: \nHeybike Alpha - https://electricbikereport.com/heybike-alpha-review/ \nVelotric Discover 2 - https://electricbikereport.com/velotric-discover-2-review/ \nVelotric Breeze 1 -...","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}
