WHEEL-E PODCAST: RADTRIKE, $150 DIY 6-SEATER E-MOTORBIKE, SOLAR ELECTRIC BOAT CAMPER & MORE

EV Channels Review

The Wheel-E podcast covers a diverse range of electric mobility innovations, with a significant focus on the new Rad Power Bikes RadTrike. The hosts highlight its affordability ($2,499) within the e-trike market, its stability-focused Delta trike design (two wheels in the rear), and its folding capability for easier storage. However, they note the trade-off between stability and cornering, and the limited top speed of 14 mph, which, while enhancing safety for less experienced riders, may disappoint those seeking higher performance. The discussion also touches on the broader implications of e-bike regulations, the European market's reliance on integrated systems like Bosch's, and the challenges for smaller manufacturers. Other segments explore a unique 1500W all-wheel-drive e-bike, a modular cargo e-bike designed to replace family cars, and the expanding delivery reach of SONDORS electric motorcycles. The episode concludes with a look at a Canadian electric motorcycle that converts to a snowmobile and an impressive $150 DIY six-seater electric motorbike from India, alongside a solar-powered electric boat camper.
