Ride Review

Kingbull, the Los Angeles-based e-bike maker known for its fat-tire models, has launched the Voyager 2.0, a heavy-duty cargo e-bike designed for riders who need more than just range. The model pairs a 750W Bafang hub motor with torque sensing and optional dual Samsung batteries, giving it the strength to carry up to 450 pounds while maintaining balance and efficiency.

When a group of Rivian engineers left the electric truckmaker last year, they didn’t start another car company. They went smaller. This week, their new startup ALSO unveiled a line of electric micromobility vehicles, including a modular e-bike called the TM-B, two pedal-assist quads, and a connected smart helmet. The launch comes months after the company quietly raised $200 million from Greenoaks Capital, bringing its valuation to $1 billion, according to Bloomberg.

Canyon launched the Citylite family on August 14, 2025, a pair of urban-focused bicycles designed to turn everyday errands and commutes into a simpler, more comfortable experience. The range includes a non-electric push-bike, the Citylite, and an e-assist model, the Citylite: ON, both offered in step-over and step-through frames and available across EMEA from the same date. 

Two weeks ago, I picked up the Canyon Roadlite:ONfly CF - a sleek, carbon-framed fitness e-bike that’s almost too subtle for its own good. I’ve since clocked daily 40-minute rides and started using it for 8km gym commutes. In that time, I’ve grown to admire the ride, tolerate the quirks, and nitpick the hell out of the details - because that’s what this bike deserves.
