This week on The Weekly Recharge, we’re celebrating Episode 100!
In this special episode, we look back at the history of The Weekly Recharge, share some bloopers, mix up the trivia format, and announce a bigger-than-usual Rider of the Week giveaway with five viewers getting free Electric Bike Report T-shirts based on comments from this episode.
We also cover this week’s biggest e-bike news, including Specialized founder Mike Sinyard returning as CEO, Bosch reporting that riders using its smart system have covered an estimated 62 million miles in the U.S. since 2023, and Mondraker issuing a recall for select carbon handlebars.
Bosch’s milestone points to a bigger trend we love seeing: more riders using e-bikes not just for recreation, but for commuting, errands, school runs, trail rides, and replacing short car trips.
Later in the episode, we feature Rider of the Week, a special 100th episode trivia showdown, bloopers from past episodes, POC electrochromatic sunglasses, the Tanglefoot Trail in Mississippi, and viewer Q&A covering e-bike range, folding e-bikes for tall riders, and commuter recommendations under $2,200.
We also highlight a few current e-bike and gear deals from Ride1Up, Club Ride, and AIMA.
Thank you for watching, commenting, sharing, and helping us reach 100 episodes of The Weekly Recharge. Let us know in the comments how long you’ve been watching, what e-bike you ride, and what topics you want us to cover next.
