Rob’s Top Picks 🔝😎🤙🤩🍀

I’ve scoured the universe for the coolest stories this week and hand-picked the best ones to super-power your inbox!

 

Long Way Up

What happens when you try to ride electric motorcycles from the Southern tip of South America to LA? Actor Ewan McGregor (Yes Obi-Wan from Star Wars) and best friend Charley set off to find out. 

It’s a massive undertaking, but fascinating adventure full of challenges. If you thought you had range anxiety on your ebike, wait til you see these guys try to tackle 15000 miles with limited infrastructure…

If you’ve been longing for adventure you may find some inspiration here.

Açai Bowl

Have you ever had an Açai bowl? I dropped into a shop the other day after a ride and was amazed by the flavor. 

Açai is touted as a superfood packed with antioxidants and health benefits. Considering how sweet the bowls are though I’d treat this more like ice cream than a health food. A dessert to enjoy every after a bike ride that’s probably marginally better for you than ice cream. They sure are delicious though. Give one a try next time you fancy something sweet.

 

Ideogram AI Image Generator

^ This image was made with AI… AND the Acai bowl above was too. It took 10 seconds with this AI image generator. It’s free and makes some incredible results. So good I canceled my $10 midjourney subscription.

While I can’t use it to make myself a girlfriend… yet 😅,

I love creating images as placeholders for concepts, video ideas, thumbnails, even to concept aesthetics of new product or branding ideas. If you like to create, try this out and see what you come up with.

Frequently Asked Questions

Have a question? We've got answers.

What's the best commuter ebike?

For daily commuting, the Babymaker II Pro is our most popular pick. It weighs just 35 lbs — light enough to carry up stairs or onto transit — and its Gates Carbon Belt Drive means virtually zero maintenance. A single charge gets you 20–70+ miles depending on assist level.

If you want cargo capacity and a more upright position, the Moonrider is a great alternative with dual racks and a Bafang mid-drive motor that handles hills with ease.

What's the best lightweight ebike?

The Babymaker II is our lightest model at just 33 lbs — significantly lighter than most ebikes on the market. Its minimalist frame and compact battery keep the weight down without sacrificing range or performance. Perfect if you need to carry it up stairs or store it under a desk.

Do I need a license to ride a Superhuman ebike?

In most US states, no license, registration, or insurance is required to ride an ebike — as long as it meets federal ebike classification standards. Most Superhuman models meet these requirements. Rules vary by state and municipality, so we recommend checking your local laws, especially for Class 3 bikes on trails or shared paths.

What's a fat tire ebike?

Fat tire ebikes feature oversized tires — typically 4 inches wide or more. Those wide tires give you more traction on loose surfaces like sand, gravel, and snow, better shock absorption, and increased stability at low speeds or in technical terrain. Great for riders who want to go off the beaten path or ride year-round regardless of conditions.

If you're looking for the best fat tire electric bike for all-terrain riding, the Superhuman Bikes Bomber is our top pick. The Bomber is a 750W scrambler-style fat tire ebike built to go anywhere — sand, trails, dirt roads, or city streets. It runs on a 48V 17Ah battery with 40+ miles of range, 20-inch fat tires for maximum grip, hydraulic brakes, dual suspension, a comfortable bench seat, and optional foot pegs for a moto-inspired feel. Available in multiple colors and two configurations, it's one of the most capable and versatile fat tire ebikes on the market.

What's the best ebike for beginners?

We recommend the Moonrider or the Photon for riders new to ebikes.

The Moonrider has a step-through frame (easy to mount and dismount), an intuitive mid-drive motor, and comes with front and rear racks so you can start using it for real errands right away. Its Shimano 10-speed lets you gradually learn how to blend pedal assist with gear selection.

The Photon is a great option if you want something lighter with a throttle option, so you can start by letting the bike do the work and increase your own pedaling input as you get comfortable. It ships 95% pre-assembled — front wheel, pedals, and handlebars and you're ready to ride. (And they glow in the dark!)

How long does shipping take?

All in-stock Superhuman bikes ship within 3–7 business days of order confirmation. You'll receive a tracking number via email once your order leaves our warehouse. For the most current availability on specific models, check the product page or contact our support team.

What's the longest range ebike in your lineup?

The Weapon leads the lineup with 70+ miles of range on its 840Wh battery — the highest-capacity battery we offer. The F5 Trail also carries an 840Wh battery and delivers 50+ miles per charge under typical conditions.

Real-world range depends on rider weight, terrain, wind, temperature, and how much you pedal vs. rely on the motor. Using lower assist levels and pedaling more actively will always extend your range.
