Pedego Avenue: Lightweight Powerhouse that Upgrades to the Moon [Video]
The Pedego Avenue is a remarkable electric bike that combines the best of customization and performance. Crafted with precision by experts in the American eBike industry, this bike offers a unique riding experience that can be tailored to suit individual preferences. With a minimalist design, powerful motor, and an array of custom-made accessories, the 10 years of development really paid off. For a limited time, Electrek readers can get up to $500 off Pedego bikes including The Avenue.
Solid Foundation
Starting out with a lightweight, and sleek European style frame, the Avenue also holds a hefty battery in the thin downtube. Included stock is a 48v 10.4ah battery, Shimano 7 speed cassette, 500w geared hub motor, 5 levels of pedal assist and full throttle control. For stopping power the Avenue sports puncture resistant tires and 180mm mechanical disc brakes, which make quick work on such a lightweight platform. The adjustable stem compliments the riding position, which can be fitted to several sizes on a single frame. For a bike that can be ready purchased at a local storefront, the Avenue already catches notice, but what really sets this design apart is the wide array of custom made accessories and upgrades.
Frame Options Galore
Inside the bike itself, the battery can be upgraded to hold 14ah in the same form factor, enabling up to 56 miles of range. Whether you prefer a bold and vibrant color or a more understated look, the Avenue offers a range of frame options to choose from. Between the classic step over frame shape and step-through shape, Pedego offers 6 different colors, 2 wheel sizes and 2 frame sizes to match most any rider, which is hard to come-by in the electric bike space.
Custom Accessories to Boot
The curated and sometimes crafted accessories and upgrades for the Pedego Avenue are simply amazing. The front and rear rack for the Avenue secure to the frame as strong as oak, and the rear rack attachment points hide well tucked on the inner face of the seat-stay. This strong base can house the custom fit pannier selection which includes a pet carrier, double pannier, cooler insert, and much more. Inside the pannier, one could hold the pedego flat tire kit, fast charger, flexible link lock, and folding lock (which enables 5 year theft protection).
On top of the cargo accessories, the Avenue can be customized with yet more upgrades, including a front shock, metal pedals, comfort saddle, suspension seat-post, phone holder, fenders, thumb throttle attachment, and a set of integrated lights which include a front, rear and brake light function.

With 615 horsepower, the Cadillac Lyriq-V is the quickest Caddie to date. Cadillac’s first V-Series EV will outsprint a CT5-V Blackwing, and it can be yours for under $80,000.
The 2026 Lyriq-V EV is the fastest Cadillac ever
We knew it was coming soon. Cadillac teased the Lyriq-V for the first time in late October, giving a sneak peek at its first electric V-Series vehicle.
Cadillac’s performance brand is known for iconic sports cars like the CT5-V Blackwing, but the new EV pushes the “V-Series sub-brand to new heights,” boasted John Roth, vice president of Global Cadillac.
As the first EV to wear the V-Series badge, Cadillac promised the Lyriq-V would be powerful, but we didn’t know it would be this fast.
Cadillac officially introduced the 2026 Lyriq-V on Thursday, revealing additional specs, prices, and more. With an estimated 615 hp and 650 lb-ft of torque and a standard dual motor AWD powertrain, the EV is expected to accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.3 seconds, making it the quickest Cadillac to date.
At that speed, it would outrun the Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing with a 0 to 60 mph sprint time in 3.4 seconds. Although the CT-5 packs slightly more horsepower (668 hp), the Lyriq-V’s EV powertrain unlocks more powerful, instant acceleration.
The added power is enabled by an added Velocity Max feature, which “unleashes the vehicle’s full performance capability” with a surge of power and acceleration.
Interior and exterior design, prices, and features
The V-Series model differs from the traditional Lyriq with a lower center of gravity and custom front and rear bumpers. It also features V-Series badging on the rear doors and tailgate, V-pattern mesh on the lower grille, and 22″ wheels with the logo etched into the side.
Inside, the performance EV borrows features from the Lyriq, such as a panoramic fixed glass roof, a 23-speaker AKG sound system, and a massive 33″ LED display screen.
Cadillac distinguishes the V-Series from the traditional Lyriq by adding the V-Series logo, a V-mode button, and a sports rim with hand grips. Other unique features include a custom infotainment experience with a “V-Series persona,” a signature V-Series illuminated sill plate and V-pattern detailing on the seatbacks.
A 102 kWh battery pack is expected to provide a range of up to 285 miles. The 2026 Cadillac Lyriq-V starts at $79,990, including the destination fee.
In comparison, the Tesla Model Y Performance starts at $51,490 and has an EPA-estimated range of up to 277 miles. It also includes AWD and can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 3.5 seconds.
Cadillac’s new performance EV will be sold in the US, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. Other markets will be announced closer to launch. GM will begin producing the new Lyriq-V at its Spring Hill, TN, manufacturing plant in early 2025.
What do you think of the Cadillac’s new performance EV? Would you buy one for $80,000? Or are you sticking with the Model Y Performance? Drop us a comment below to let us know.

Tesla has announced some important price hikes across its entire lineup in Canada amid incentives going away and a struggling Canadian dollar.
The Canadian EV market is already having problems amid announcements that the federal incentive program will be eliminated. The same thing is happening to Quebec’s own program, which was the most generous in the country—making the province the leader in EV adoption in Canada.
Now, Tesla, which sells more EVs than anyone in Canada, announced that it is increasing prices on all its lineup.
Here are the price increases for each Tesla model:
- Model 3:
- Long Range RWD: $4,000
- Long Range AWD: $8,000
- Performance: $9,000
- Model Y: $4,000
- Model S: $4,000
- Model X: $4,000
Buyers can still get $1,300 CAD off of new Model Y, Model S, or Model X purchases with a referral code.
Tesla never comments on price changes and therefore, we don’t know the official reasons for these specific price increases, but we can make some educated guesses.
First off, the Canadian dollar has crashed in comparison to USD over the last few months:
Furthermore, the timing of announcing that the price increases will take place on February 1st has led some to link this to the upcoming tariff wars that President Trump signaled against Canada.
The US President said that he plans to impose 25% tariffs on any goods coming from Canada, and Canada said that it would retaliate.
Electrek’s Take
Obviously, this is not good for the EV market in Canada.
The removal of incentives is already hurting the market, and now the base price of the most popular EVs in the country, Tesla vehicles, is also going up before incentives.
This will be a bad year for EVs in Canada.
Hopefully, things will settle down and we will get more clarity once the tariff war actually starts.
