Why I'll Only Buy an Electric Bike Moving Forward

November 12, 2022

We’ve written a lot about bikes at Review Geek, and that may be in part due to previous Editor-in-Chief Cam’s deep love of bicycles. He used them, and a whole host of other tech, to literally save his son’s life.

But while Cam loves the traditional bike, Cory is of a different mindset altogether. Cory, a fellow lover of bicycles, has made a vow: from now on, he’ll only buy e-bikes. Having had the chance to use one myself, I think I agree. Why? Hit up the top story to find out.

Other Highlights:

• Sarah took a look at the Roborock S5 Max robot vacuum, and it’s pretty great.
• Finally, Google’s VPN service is coming to Windows and Mac. Well, eventually.
• And speaking of Google, Lightroom’s latest update is a big deal for Pixel 7 phones.
• … and more!
