Cycrown Verve Ebike Review - CleanTechnica
The Cycrown Verve e-bike is designed for power and stability, making it well-suited for hilly urban environments like the Bay Area. Its motor provides strong assistance, enabling riders to maintain about 10 mph on steep inclines with minimal pedaling and reach speeds up to 28 mph on flat terrain, placing it at the higher end of commuter e-bike performance. This makes it an attractive option for city commuters who need reliable power to navigate challenging hills efficiently. However, the bike’s powerful motor impacts battery life. While the manufacturer claims up to 60 miles per charge, real-world use—especially with high assist levels or throttle-only riding—reduces range to about 25-30 miles. Moderate assist combined with pedaling may extend range to 40-50 miles, but the 60-mile figure is optimistic for typical riding conditions. The ride quality benefits from wide 26-inch fat tires and front suspension, offering a stable and cushioned experience on city streets and light trails

VanMoof, the Dutch e-bike startup known for its premium, minimalist designs featuring integrated lights, batteries, and motors, has relaunched two years after filing for bankruptcy in July 2023. The company’s previous downfall was largely attributed to its heavy reliance on custom parts, which led to supply constraints and an underdeveloped repair network, leaving customers stranded with broken bikes and damaging trust. After being acquired by Lavoie, a McLaren Applied division, VanMoof leveraged Formula 1 expertise to redesign problematic components using performance data, improving reliability while partnering with large manufacturers to ensure quality and parts availability. Notably, the company shifted to co-designing batteries with Panasonic, moving away from fully in-house battery development. A key focus for VanMoof’s comeback is its revamped servicing infrastructure. The company has established a network of 250 repair centers and 130 sales partners across select European markets, supported by a tech suite for diagnostics, parts ordering, and warranty management, as well as online

LoveFrom, the creative firm founded by former Apple chief designer Jony Ive, collaborated with Rivian on the development of the electric bike that marks Rivian’s first entry into micromobility. Over approximately 18 months, LoveFrom staff worked closely with Rivian’s design and engineering teams within a skunkworks program led by former Specialized executive Chris Yu. This secretive project, which began in early 2022, aimed to leverage Rivian’s EV technology to create a smaller, modular, and more affordable vehicle than its existing electric trucks and vans. LoveFrom’s involvement, starting in early 2023, focused on refining prototypes, user interface, user experience, and industrial design, bringing an interdisciplinary and international perspective to the product’s aesthetics and packaging. The skunkworks program eventually evolved into a startup called Also, backed by $105 million in funding from Eclipse Ventures and staffed by talent from Apple, Google, Tesla, and others. While details about the bike remain scarce, Rivian’s CEO RJ Scaringe described it as “bike-like” with basic components such as a seat, two wheels, a screen, computers, and a battery. Both Scaringe and Yu hinted at a broader vision for Also to explore various micromobility formats beyond the initial electric bike. The company plans to unveil its first designs later in 2024. LoveFrom’s collaboration with Rivian extends beyond this project, having previously consulted on Rivian’s infotainment system and retail experience, underscoring a close and ongoing relationship between the two firms.
