About PeakLoadout
Who we are
PeakLoadout is an independent editorial site covering e-bikes and outdoor tech. We read makers' own product pages, compare features and pricing, and publish honest reviews with no sponsored rankings.
What we cover
PeakLoadout covers the decisions people actually make before buying an e-bike or a training subscription: which bike fits a budget and a commute, what a battery's watt-hours mean for range, which class is legal where you ride, and what an AI coach costs over a year.
- Commuter and folding e-bikes, priced, classed and compared on battery watt-hours and payload
- Cargo, fat-tire and trail e-bikes, with torque, payload and class limits drawn to scale
- AI cycling and running coaches, what the adaptive part actually adjusts, and the annual cost
- Route, wearable and training-platform software, subscription tiers and bundles compared by year
What the guides have measured so far, each figure computed from the page that owns it:
commuter e-bikes under $1,500 on 8 makers' own US stores, 20 October 2026
product pages that do not name the e-bike safety standard
2,500 commute miles at 20 Wh a mile and 18.31 cents per kWh (EIA, July 2026)
priced by the year, from $99.95 (Xert) to $209.99 (TrainerRoad)
Our methodology
Every product on PeakLoadout is evaluated across a consistent set of criteria: listed price on the maker's own store, battery capacity in watt-hours, motor type and rated power, e-bike class and top assisted speed, payload, warranty terms, and cost to run per mile. We maintain a strict separation between editorial content and affiliate relationships, our rankings are never influenced by commission rates.
