Remember your first mountain bike? We sure do. After several years as a kid saving up allowances and stacking up the piggy bank, I was finally ready to head down to my local REI. Can’t remember exactly what I was riding up to that point- probably some hand me down or garage sale pick up that at the very least got me out on the trails. But it was time for an upgrade and I could not have been more excited. My first bike was a shiny red hard tail diamondback. It was love at first sight. I remember distinctly the diamond shaped retro logo on the top tube, paired up with what seem’d at the time an ..read more

There are plenty of myths and misconceptions out there about electric bikes. They are still a new concept to a lot of people out there, and that’s perfectly okay. That’s why we’re here to hopefully provide some clarity on the subject. We chose the most common misconceptions we get on the daily about Ebikes, and we want to provide some answers.

For older riders, those who are dealing with a past injury ..read more

“When cruising around, we often get stopped by other moms/dads who are curious about our setup and how fun we make it look (especially if my son has his cool sunglasses on). Currently, we have a little mom and kid biker gang of about four other moms who bought e-bikes to ride with us.” Sounds like fun, right? Candide Krieger, a science teacher and mom in Honolulu, Hawaii, has fun like that just about every day on her e-bike. "I like to think that island life is slow and relaxed, but when you’re a single mom to a toddler it’s ‘go-go-go.’ That is one of the reasons an e-bike comes in handy. We ..read more

Introducing Aloha Velo, your premier Brompton dealer for the Hawaiian islands. My personal Brompton collection Aloha! My name is Wynton, and I have been a Brompton enthusiast for over 11 years. My story began with buying a Brompton right after graduating from University. I needed a compact bike that would not take up a bunch of space in my small apartment and something I could travel with. Brompton fit my needs perfectly and I have never enjoyed another bike brand as much since. While my University days are behind me, my Brompton days are not. My personal collection of Brompton bikes has grow ..read more

One major element to consider when buying an ebike is what kind of motor to invest in.  For the most part electric bicycles come with one of two types of motors: Hub-drive or Mid-drive.  Hub-drive motors are found built into either the front or rear wheel, not integrated into the bike frame.  They work by spinning the wheel they are mounted on instead of driving the chain drive system, and can be found on city cruisers and ebikes that are for commuting and casual riding. Mid-drive motors are stationed in the center of the bicycle in between the pedals. They provide a low cente ..read more
