WHEEL-E PODCAST: PORSCHE E-BIKES, UPWAY US, TALARIA XXX, MINI-TRUCKS & MORE

EV Channels Review

This episode of the Wheel-E podcast covers a range of electric two-wheeled vehicles, with a significant focus on e-bikes. The hosts discuss the surprisingly high price point of Porsche's new e-bikes, highlighting their premium components and brand appeal. A major segment is dedicated to Upway, a new US e-bike reseller offering discounts on new and used models, complete with a one-year warranty, which is praised for its innovative business model. The podcast also teases WAU's 'revolutionary' Project Cyber e-bike, discusses the legal dispute and recall involving Himay's e-bike, and provides a technical comparison of mechanical versus hydraulic disc brakes, favoring hydraulics for ease of use and performance. Reviews of the NIU BQi-C3 Pro and HeyBike Tyson e-bikes are presented, noting their unique designs and features, though both have some drawbacks like single-speed limitations and less-than-ideal hill climbing for the NIU, and a jumpy cadence sensor and potential hill struggles for the HeyBike. Finally, a sneak peek of the Luna Talaria XXX electric motorbike is given, emphasizing its anticipated low cost, high performance, and potential for rapid sell-out upon release, while acknowledging questions about its street legality.
