DoorDash's investment in Also aims to develop and accelerate the deployment of autonomous delivery at scale, focusing on areas not yet fully solved for, including intersections of roadways and bike lanes.

A Mahle controller sits on the toptube. Ridley designed the E-Grifn to be identical to the rest of their Grifn lineup. The geometry matches, and the visual differences between the bikes are pretty minimal. However, there are definitely some slight differences, such as a larger downtube to house the battery. Certain mounting points have also been removed in favor of internal electronics.

Strava is using "Machine Learning" (ML) models to help clean up logged riding errors, intentional or not. James, an engineer at Strava, explained in the post that the recent crackdowns were threefold. First, they introduced a new ML model, specifically aimed at catching e-bikes. This "Enhanced E-Bike Detection" flags and removes activities logged as a normal ride, but that were clearly recorded with electric assist.

The LGHS Bicycle Safety and Training Program requires every student who rides a bike to campus to take a safety course and register their bike online for free. The registration includes contact information and a picture of the bike so that the school can work with police if the bike is lost or stolen. The safety course requires students to watch a video and complete a test that emphasizes the importance of proper equipment and care, rules of the road and best practices.

A lot of what we can do at DOT is ... is focusing on designing our streets, designing our infrastructure, to make it easier for delivery workers to make safe choices, to operate safely, to reduce conflicts between them and other users, whether that's basically wider bike lanes that can accommodate a wider range of users,

ReTyre's unique 'carbon-neutral' tire tech looks set to make big inroads in performance and real-world availability, thanks to a new development partnership with Vittoria and a fresh round of venture capital investment. Together, the funding and Vittoria collaboration will help ReTyre expand production of their pioneering sustainable tires. And it signals a shift from making tires for less-demanding applications like kids' bikes and strollers, stepping up to make durable, high-performance eco tires for everyday urban and commuting bikes and ebikes.

Every January, the city of Las Vegas, Nevada hosts the Consumer Electronics Show (CES). This annual convention focuses on the newest, most advanced technology-packed products aiming to make our lives easier and more fun. Tens of thousands of enthusiasts, industry reps, reporters, investors, and influencers flock to the event, anxious to see the latest tech on display. This year, the gargantuan halls of

I'm no psychologist, but I get a sense Segway turned up to CES 2026 with something to prove after last year. Certainly, it's gone out of its way to prove its micromobility bona fides with the press, who perhaps were a bit too sniffy that scooter people were launching an e-bike. This year, Segway's not just launching two more mainstream e-bikes, but an electric dirt bike, all of which are crammed with the sort of tech that might just make everyone halt their sniffiness.

Here are the morning's top stories on Wednesday, December 31, 2025... HSIs were created in the 1990s to ensure that colleges enrolling large numbers of Latino students received adequate funding to help those students graduate. In California, more than 90% of community colleges, and 21 out of 22 California State Universities and seven of nine University of California undergraduate campuses qualify as HSIs. Community colleges in the state estimate they will lose at least $20 million this year.

scores of new laws related to motor vehicles, transportation and traffic safety go into effect. Here are some of the new laws signed by Gov. Gavin Newsom that become effective this year, from the California Highway Patrol and the Department of Motor Vehicles. Electric bike safety: E-bikes now must have a red reflector or a solid or flashing red light with a built-in reflector on the rear whenever they are used, not just when it's dark out as the law previously required.

Despite the proposal being postponed, some residents weighed in. Residents said some of the new policies should include exceptions, such as allowing e-bike riding on the sidewalk. Rebecca Ratcliff said many bike lanes are used by delivery cars to park, making it necessary to bike on sidewalks. Sometimes there is glass or debris on the street, also making it dangerous, and by not addressing these issues but implementing new polices will decrease the public's interest in bicycling, Ratcliff said.

"His Vespa had gotten stolen and we just kinda had this crazy idea ... if we were to design one for the future that was all-electric, had the best technology, what would it look like? What would it feel like?" Cohen explained. As I stood beside P1, a $10,000 electric seated scooter, and Olto, a $3,495 bike-lane legal class 2 e-bike, that question had been answered. The brothers' company started shipping the P1 to customers in October and expects to deliver Olto in early 2026.

On the morning when I went with them, we walked just a few yards out of the police station to set up a morning check in the City. There were cyclists ignoring pedestrian crossings and red lights, and moving dangerously through pedestrians, despite the fact that they were outside a police station and there were six or seven uniformed officers on cycles, on the road and on the pavement.

By now we already know that Londoners can't get enough of e-bikes. In fact, one in 10 cycle journeys in the capital was made on a dockless electric bike in 2025, with cycling in general rising by 12.7 percent in the past year. If you're one of those two-wheeled citizens, we bring you good news, because TfL has announced that major upgrades are coming to Santander Cycles in 2026.

According to California law, an electric bicycle is a bicycle equipped with fully operable pedals and an electric motor of less than 750 watts of power. California has established three classes of e-bikes, which the DMV describes as follows: Class 1: A low speed pedal-assisted electric bicycle equipped with a motor which provides assistance only when the rider is pedaling and ceases to provide assistance when a speed of 20 mph is reached.

My steel Fuji road bike is like another limb. I use it to get to work, grab groceries, and pedal to see my friends. I can haul it onto the subway if I get tired, or if the weather takes a surprise turn for the worse. It's cheap to maintain, and I can use it in place of a gym membership.

Seniors aren't "slowing down"-they're adapting. In 2025-2026, the fastest-growing age group in e-bike sales is riders over 60. And honestly, it makes perfect sense. A modern e-bike gives older riders freedom, fitness, and confidence without the strain that keeps many people off traditional bicycles. Hills become easy. Pedal assist erases the dread of steep climbs. Headwinds aren't deal-breakers. Even a gentle assist makes tough wind days manageable. Longer rides feel possible again. Many seniors report doubling their usual mileage.

A video of a gang of teenage e-bikers beating up a man near the Hermosa Beach Pier until one of them yells "he's dead, he's dead" sent waves of outrage through the tight-knit coastal community this week. On Wednesday, the Hermosa Beach Police Department announced that it had identified five juveniles involved in the attack. Their ages range from 13 to 15. Two who are accused of being the primary aggressors in the incident are under arrest.

EPA Cycling journeys in the capital have increased by 43% over the past six years to 1.5 million a day, according to a new report. Data published in the Transport for London (TfL) annual Travel in London report showed daily bike journeys increased from 1.05 million in 2019 and 1.33 million in 2024. The report, published on Tuesday, found only 40% of cyclists travelling on roads without cycle paths felt safe, in contrast with the 76% who said they felt safe on designated bike routes.

E-bikes have boomed and they are a convenient way for people to get around, but legislation is lagging behind,

Seattle-based e-bike giant Rad Power Bikes has filed official notice to Washington State as well as the company's 64 Washington employees that the company could end operations "as early as January 2026." A Nov. 7 filing with the state ( PDF) warns both service-level workers at the company's retail and repair shop as well as corporate workers at its Seattle headquarters that layoffs could start as early as Jan. 9, 2026.
