WHEEL-E PODCAST! VOLCON ELECTRIC MOPEDS, SOLAR-CHARGING E-BIKES & MORE

EV Channels Review

This episode of the Wheel-E podcast dives into a diverse range of electric two-wheelers, from rugged e-bikes to innovative solar charging solutions and high-speed unicycles. The hosts highlight new dirt jumper e-bikes from ONYX, noting their robust build for hardcore riding and a price point starting around $2,700. They also discuss Volcon's potential entry into the e-bike market with the "Brat" model, characterized by its Super73-esque design. A significant portion is dedicated to France's generous $4,000 incentive for switching from cars to e-bikes, promoting urban mobility and sustainability. The review touches on the practical challenges of abandoned Bolt Mobility e-bikes and the safety benefits of Bosch's new ABS for e-bikes, which impressively prevents front wheel lock-up. The DIY solar charging e-bike project demonstrates a feasible, albeit slower, charging alternative. Finally, the discussion covers the record-breaking 87 mph InMotion electric unicycle and Gogoro's impressive milestone of 500,000 battery-swapping subscribers, particularly in Taiwan, with future expansion plans. The episode concludes with a look at small, affordable Chinese electric micro-cars, suggesting a potential future for urban transport.
