HOW THE HI-TORQUE ACCELERATES YO
In October 2016, a study conducted by Marketing Sherpa, an independent research firm that specializes in tracking “what works in all aspects of marketing strategies”, surveyed 2,400 consumers— sampled to reflect a close match to the U.S. population’s demographics — and were asked: “In general, which type of advertising channels do you trust MORE when you want to make a purchase decision?”
HERE ARE THE RESULTS OF THAT STUDY: Print Ads (newspaper, magazines)
WEBSITES:
Over
4.0 Million Yearly Unique Visits, 7.6 Million Page Views, 48% Website, 38% Mobile, 14% Tablet
INTERNATIONAL REACH: U.S. 57%, Europe 24%, Canada 7%, Aus/NZ 4%
TV Ads Ads/catalogs I receive in the mail Radio Ads Ads in outdoors and public places (like billboards,transit ads, posters, etc.) Search engine ads (Google, Yahoo, Bing, etc.) Video Ads that appear prior to a digital video Sponsored posts on blogs that I read Ads embedded in social media (Facebook, Instagram, etc. ) Online banner ads Mobile phone ads Ads in podcasts Digital pop-ups
“ACCORDING TO THE STUDY, A COMPANY’S PRINT ADS ARE THE MOST TRUSTED ADVERTISING CHANNEL BY THEIR CONSUMERS.”
Prints ads were the top advertising channel, according to the study, with four out of five Americans (82%) saying they trusted print ads MORE than any other channel of advertising at the point in time that matters most to marketers… when making their purchasing decisions. In fact, there was a clear schism between traditional/offline advertising and digital/online ads. This isn’t to say that you should only buy print ads or avoid online pop-ups entirely. Each channel can have its place. Just know that advertising in magazines will tend to add credibility to your product or service, while an online pop-up ad could reduce the credibility for your product or service.

Mike Wirth, Editor: Mike has lived and breathed mountain bikes for the past 20 years. He came up as a bike-shop manager and then spent many years on the trail as a worldwide marketing specialist for Titus Cycles. He then spent a stint dialing in his suspension knowledge at Fox Racing Shox. If there’s a place you love to ride in the U.S., Mike has probably been there and has the photos to prove it.
Joe Mackey, Assistant Editor: On his fourth year with Mountain Bike Action, Joe has a strong background in cross-country riding and racing. Joe graduated from college with a degree in business and will ride anything from drop to flat bars depending on what he has in the barn for testing. The best bike Joe has ever ridden is the next one.

RBA remains the industry’s best and most honest read when it comes to reporting on the wide range of bikes and products that are making waves with today’s cycling consumers.

He started as an editor at Mountain Bike Action and was the original editor for the first incarnation of Road Bike Action in 1993. Within the house of Hi-Torque, Zap shares his decades of industry knowledge within the cycling group and spends all his twowheeled time on drop bars, going back and forth between pavement and gravel rides.
Troy Templin, Assistant Editor: Prior to his landing at RBA in 2015, Troy spent six years in retail managing a bike shop. Owing to his passion for riding and racing bikes of every stripe and in events ranging from Dirty Kanza to the Leadville Trail 100, as well as local cyclocross races, Troy epitomizes the consummate cycling enthusiast. RBA has been greatly enabled with Troy’s product knowledge and insight on consumer-buying trends.
Jon Hornbeck, Assistant Editor: Following a three-year stint on the pro circuit, Jon is now making the transition to the world of cycling journalism, putting his many hours of saddle time to good use by testing and evaluating new bikes and products. From a top-20 finish at the 2016 Tour of California to a top-10 finish at this year’s Dirty Kanza, Jon is making good progress discovering the wider range of cycling adventures that exist.

COLLEGEEDUCATED HAVE BEEN READING EBA FOR OVER 2 YEARS
SAY EBA IS THEIR MAIN SOURCE FOR THEIR CYCLING PURCHASES
Now entering its fourth year of publication, Electric Bike Action remains the only print and digital magazine in North America dedicated to the growing world of e-bike product and technology. In the short time that we’ve been on the ground chasing e-bikes of every shape, style 14
and power range, we continue to marvel at the wide range of bike designs that are being produced in today’s burgeoning e-bike industry. Beyond reviewing new bikes and products, EBA has been just as committed to telling the e-bike story through the
words of dealers, designers and manufacturers who, like us, see so much promise in reaching an untapped consumer base hungry for the latest in e-bike information.
“YEAR AFTER YEAR, WE PRIORITIZE ADVERTISING WITH ELECTRIC BIKE ACTION. THE MAGAZINE OFFERS AN EXTENSIVE AND INFORMED READERSHIP, THOROUGH BIKE REVIEWS, AND QUALITY EDITORIAL CONTENT THAT MAKES SUPPORTING THEIR E-BIKE EFFORTS A NOBRAINER.” - CATHERINE WESSLING, MARKETING MANAGER, HAIBIKE USA
Zapata Espinoza, Editorial Director: With over 30 years of experience as a cycling and motorcycling enthusiast and journalist, Zap brings a wealth of knowledge to EBA that spans both the pedaland throttle-assist worlds. It was the insight he gained from walking through the e-bike pavilion at Eurobike four years ago that gave rise to the idea of creating a magazine dedicated to all things e-bike-related.
Tony Donaldson, Editor: In 2001 Tony worked with Lee Iacocca at eBike, as well as having worked with several publications and online resources involved in bicycles and technology over the past three decades. Tony’s experience riding every type of electric bike on multiple continents gives him a depth of knowledge and love for e-bikes that is infectious. He regularly offers up rides to anyone he encounters who hasn’t yet tried an electric bike, and the conversations he has with riders on the road only cultivate his insightful contributions to the magazine.
Karel Kramer: Karel Kramer is a life-long cyclist who discovered e-bikes just over four years ago. He was immediately sold on the fun of e-bikes from the beginning, but riding them was still a conscious choice. Injuries from a car accident three years ago all but eliminated that choice. Now, thanks to e-bikes, he is still able to ride!
