Bikes & Scooters

Over the past several months, I’ve seen a huge influx of hoverboard in my neighbourhood, in the downtown core where I work, and along the sea wall in Vancouver where many go to bike, blade, or run on a sunny day. The popularity of hoverboards is soaring, but what are they all about? Well, I was recently given the opportunity to take the Swagtron Hands Free Hoverboard for a test ride, so here’s my take on these new modes of transportation.

With so many e-scooters on the market, how do you know which one to pick? We take a closer look at three from Segway, Unagi, and Kugoo to help you choose.

A Hoverboard is a great way to way to get around in warmer weather. Here are 3 key (and some minor) things to think about when you look for one.

Looking for a gift someone will love and use. Consider giving someone an electric scooter this holiday season. Here's what you need to know.

Here's everything you need to know about e-bike rebates in Canada (some provinces) on the purchase of qualifying models.

It's never been easier to get around with an electric rideable. With so many electric options available, here's what you need to know.

If you've had your eye on a hoverboard but stopped short of a purchase due to uncertainty, today we lift the veil on a couple of ProZip hoverboards!

 Learning to ride a bike is a major milestone for every child. Usually, they start off with training wheels to first master the concept. But today, the balance bike marks an interesting transition to help with balance and coordination before popping those extra wheels off and moving up to a two-wheeler. My 4-year-old son and I have the Prince Lionheart Balance Bike a go to see how well it works. 

Federal regulations pertaining to low-powered personal vehicles (e-bikes and e-scooters) are not nearly as restrictive as you might think. Learn why here.

Foldable electric bikes are great for portability and commutes. I test rode three from different price ranges to figure out which is best.
