ELECTRIC BIKES

We get a lot of questions about e-bikes, especially the Orbea Rise, so we figured we’d throw up a quick long-term review of one from one of the employees here at Jenson, Alex. Alex lives up in the mountains here in Southern California and has to do a fair bit of climbing and pedaling around at his local trail system to get to trails. Because he is in such high elevation, oxygen levels are different and make it a bit more difficult to breathe. This alone made it hard for him to enjoy long rides, especially when temperatures drop and snow season arrives.

Buying a new bike is often one of the most exciting purchases you will make in a given year.  That said, it can also come with a little stress given the myriad of additional gear you'll need to consider to maximize your fun and safety on the trail.  From helmets, to pedals, to knee pads and pretty much everything else you can imagine, we've got the gear you need in our warehouses available and ready to ship.  In the following list, we'll run through the top items to consider picking up along side your new bike purchase.  As always, if you have any questions, feel free to reach out to one of our Gear Advisor pros for assistance.

Santa Cruz, California- based Ibis Cycles came out swinging with their first e-bike, the Oso. Join our hosts Kyle and Mark as we give our first impression of Ibis' Oso in this ride review! The Ibis Oso is full of forward-thinking technology for any rider out there looking to get on an e-bike to squeeze out as many miles as they can handle.

E-bikes can greatly boost your ride potential and allow you to take on all types of trails and rides you never would have been able to do on a traditional bike. However, with the added capability comes a more complex bike, higher costs, and the need to preform rigorous maintenance to keep it running at its best. In this article, we discuss what it takes to keep your E-bike ready to hit the trails or roads and why keeping up with this maintenance is important for the longevity and performance of your new two-wheeled machine.

As the Tour de France is by far the most iconic and well-known bike race in the world, it also receives the most media attention and coverage. For this reason, the tour is the most likely cycling event to reach out and grab the attention of cyclists and non-cyclists alike, who may not regularly follow the pro road cycling calendar. Any new viewer will be quick to find out that the tour can be rather difficult to fully understand, as there is a plethora of dynamics that make up the racing. Every July, a new wave of curious viewers may need some basic decoding in order to fully understand everything there is to love about this epic race. Think of this guide as a “how-to” on watching the Tour de France. After all, road racing has been called “chess on wheels.”
