WHEEL-E PODCAST: VELOTRIC NOMAX 2X, MEEPO FLOW TEST, MORE

EV Channels Review

The Wheel-E podcast covers a diverse range of electric micro-mobility news. A significant portion is dedicated to the Velotric Nomad 2X, a new full-suspension fat tire e-bike. The reviewer highlights its robust build, powerful 750W nominal motor (1400W peak), and substantial torque (105 Nm), noting its 80lb weight and 4-inch fat tires contribute to a comfortable, albeit heavy, ride. The bike's full suspension, with 80mm rear and 120mm front travel, is praised for enhancing comfort. Key features like Apple Find My tracking and UL-listed, IPX7-rated batteries are also commended. While the 8-speed Acera drivetrain is considered adequate but not premium, the $2499 price point is deemed reasonable for a full-suspension e-bike. The reviewer expresses excitement for testing the Nomad 2X, anticipating it might be overbuilt for some users but appreciating the excess power. Other topics include a Yamaha-backed battery-swapping initiative for e-bikes, a surprisingly good $390 Mihogo Mini e-bike from China, the Meepo Flow electric skateboard, the closure of PodBike, and the upcoming Royal Enfield Flying Flea electric motorcycle.
