Reviews
The Scott Axis eRIDE Evo Tour FS is an excellent blend of form and functionality. While the top-notch specs and robust build quality make it a reliable offroading bike, the fluid handling and comfortable ride quality make it an equally appealing everyday option. If you are an occasional offroader and need a bike that can also handle the city, the Axis eRIDE Evo Tour FS should be on your radar.
If you’re in the market for a compact scooter that doesn’t compromise on features, the Zero 8X is a model that should be on your radar. A slightly shorter version of the much-vaunted Zero 10X, the Zero 8X brings the same performance, quality, and comfort in a much smaller footprint.
Eunorau was not kidding around when they named the bike Max Cargo since the bike can withstand the weight of up to 440 lbs. This bike is the complete package with its sturdy frame, great tires, a powerful motor, and a few convenient accessories included in the price.
