EV Channels Review
This episode of the Wheel-E podcast covers a range of electric vehicle news, focusing primarily on e-bikes. A significant discussion point is the lawsuit against Delfast for non-delivery of e-bikes, highlighting the risks of crowdfunding and the legal recourse available to consumers. The podcast also touches on new e-bike speed limits in Mackinac Island, Michigan, a unique case of local regulation. A surprising announcement is DJI's entry into the e-bike market with its Amflow brand, offering a new mid-drive system with impressive specs, though its future in the US is uncertain due to potential bans on DJI products. The review of the Tank G100 e-bike emphasizes its motorcycle-like performance and aesthetics, but cautions about its component quality relative to its speed. Finally, the launch of Onewheel's premium off-road GTS Rally board and a substantial investment in Gogoro's battery-swapping technology by BP's Castrol are discussed, signaling continued innovation and investment in the micro-mobility and EV infrastructure sectors.
