TL;DR — The Gen 3 Outcross is one of the most finely tuned eBikes we’ve ridden — a 65-lb fat-tire machine with a Bafang 500W motor and pedal assist so smooth it almost feels mid-drive. The catch: no fenders and no rear rack despite the premium price. Buy some fenders first, then enjoy what is […]

At $1,699, it’s not cheap, but it’s the most capable eBike we’d point a newcomer toward at this price. eBikes at everywhere. But how do […]
