EV Channels Review

This episode of Wheel-E podcast covers a diverse range of electric two- and three-wheeled vehicles. A standout discussion is the Sixthreezero electric trike, a novel tilting tadpole design with two front wheels, praised for its stability and unique riding sensation, though its practicality for those with balance issues is questioned. The Trek Marlin+ e-bike is highlighted as a significant move towards affordability for Bosch mid-drive electric mountain bikes, starting at $2,700, offering a reputable brand and support, albeit with entry-level components and a non-removable battery. The podcast also touches on the concerning bankruptcy of electric motorcycle company CAKE, attributing it to funding issues exacerbated by current economic conditions. Additionally, the discussion explores the potential for electric vehicles to handle deep water, exemplified by a Rivet Anthem motorcycle's performance in floodwaters, showcasing their sealed nature. Finally, the segment reviews the Cyrusher Ripple electric snowboard, a first-generation product that, while functional, is noted for its weight and maneuverability challenges, suggesting significant room for improvement in future iterations.
