Amflow’s new PR e-MTB gets an 800Wh removable battery – but there’s a catch!

Amflow launched the new PR e-bike range alongside the higher-end PX e-bikes back in April, but due to delays it's only just started to ship the bikes.

Canyon has a new Strive:ON e-bike, but with a frame that's hardly changed from the first generation model introduced in 2023, and a Bosch CX motor with the older 750Wh battery, has it still got what it takes to cut it against the latest models with the new Avinox M2S? It’s worth remembering that the original Canyon Strive:On, which I tested back in early 2024, was a bike designed and …Continue reading »
