Hands-on. Paid. Honest.
Brands pay Mike to review their products. He tests every one himself and tells you exactly what he found — the good and the bad.
Why we exist
The electric revolution is happening fast, and most reviews out there are rewritten spec sheets. Mike rides the bikes on real roads, runs the robots on real yards, and drains the batteries doing real work. Then he tells you what he found.
How we test
Every product spends real time with Mike — usually weeks, sometimes months. He measures what matters (range, runtime, load, noise, durability), documents the failures, and publishes photos and video from the sessions. If a manufacturer claim can't be verified, he says so.
How we don't score
No 8.7/10s. Numeric scores compress judgment into false precision and reward products that game specs. The verdict is prose: what it's good at, what it's bad at, and who should buy it.
How we make money
We're upfront about this: brands pay Mike to produce the review, and he often resells the unit after testing wraps. We also use affiliate links to major retailers — if you buy after clicking one, we earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. See our affiliate disclosure for the full picture.
Why you can still trust the take
Getting paid to review a product doesn't mean promising a good review. Mike's audience has stuck around because he calls out what doesn't work, and brands keep coming back because a real test is more valuable to them than a puff piece. If a product is bad, he'll say so.
