A low-cost touring e-bike that feels pricier

San Diego-based electric bicycle company Ride1Up has just unveiled yet another new e-bike this season. Unlike the heavyweight electric moped we saw last month, the new Ride1Up Turris is a much lighter touring e-bike that also happens to be lighter on the wallet.

The Ride1Up Turris, which just launched at a comparatively reasonable $1,295, is ostensibly a touring bike. That means it falls somewhere between a light duty mountain bike and a city commuter. But what it really is depends on how you use, as the bike offers some serious versatility for such an inexpensive model.

The Turris has front suspension and knobby mountain bike style tires, yet sports a nimble city ride and more upright bars for a slightly hybrid-like ride posture.

It’s the best of both worlds, if you ask me. And having ridden one myself to prepare for this review, I’m pretty darn smitten with the new

GT Becomes a “Stand-alone Business” as it Returns to Southern California
After 15 years GT Bicycles has brought its corporate headquarters back to southern California.

With the new Californian headquarters, GT says it “is once again a stand-alone business, marking another pivotal movement in alignment with the brand’s new direction.” While GT appears to have been given more control over its future it still appears to remain a brand under PON Holdings.

As part of the changes at GT, the brand has assembled leadership and sales teams and aims to focus on products and choices that GT says reflect the “authentic nature of the cultures that we are part of.”

GT Becomes a “Stand-alone Business” as it Returns to Southern California We have been making every effort to return GT to the spirit in which it was founded.

Assets including fleet of 500 e-bikes up for sale after hire firm collapses

The business and assets of an e-bike hire company which had operations in Dundee and Leicester are being marketed for sale after it appointed liquidators. Ride-on Scotland suffered from a lack of investment, which resulted in unsustainable working capital and cash flow issues, and has now appointed FRP Advisory’s Callum Carmichael and Stuart Robb as joint provisional liquidators.

Ride-on Scotland was founded in 2018 and headquartered in Dundee, where it traded as Ride-on Dundee, and also operated in Leicester as Ride-on Leicester. The company had invested in 500 e-bikes, as well as the required infrastructure to operate this fleet, including software, docking stations, maintenance systems and support.

The company operated a membership model, offering customers monthly or annual subscriptions and a specialist app providing 24-hour access to its fleet. The firm was acquired by Enzen Limited in 2020 and had been awarded contracts by
