eCVTs May Redefine E-Bike Drivetrains

Electronic CVTs for e-bikes use two motors and a planetary gearset to provide a wide, continuous gear range with on-the-fly shifting, potentially improving cadence and weight distribution while eliminating derailleur changes. Early prototypes from Owuru, Gabao and Avinox look promising in quiet operation and shifting smoothness, but the tech is unproven off-road, heavier, and efficiency and regulatory hurdles remain; mainstream adoption will depend on real-world performance and market demand.

Hypershell on a Regular Bike Falls Short as an E-Bike Replacement

A hands‑on test compares wearing the Hypershell X Ultra S exoskeleton on a regular bike to using an e‑bike. Across three rides, the exoskeleton offered limited performance gains, caused discomfort, and did not noticeably improve speed or heart rate versus the e‑bike, suggesting it isn’t a true replacement for an e‑bike for most riders—though it could help a former cyclist regain pedal effort at about $1,999.

Rising e-bike injuries across the U.S. have stakeholders debating whether safer streets and protected bike lanes or licensing/registration schemes like Priscilla’s Law will most effectively curb crashes, as cities weigh enforcement, costs and equity concerns; injuries have surged from about 1,600 in 2018 to 23,000 in 2022, with NYC reporting 901 e-bike injuries in 2025.

NJ Enacts Tough E-Bike Safety Rules, Licensing and Insurance Required

Governor Murphy signed S4834/A6235 to regulate electric bicycles in New Jersey, expanding coverage to all e-bikes and requiring licensing, registration, and insurance for riders; minimum ages are 17 with a valid driver’s license or 15 with a motorized bicycle license, and motorists must exercise caution around e-bikes. The measure, spurred by fatal crashes, updates safety rules for the first time in six years.

Amish Embrace E-Bikes as a Practical Path Between Tradition and Modernity

Some Amish communities are expanding from horse-drawn buggies to e-bikes, with about two-thirds of churches allowing them. They view e-bikes as practical transportation that can be charged with limited electricity or solar, helping mobility and family time, while a minority oppose them over concerns they could hasten a shift toward cars and erode traditional skills.
