WHEEL-E PODCAST: RIDE1UP'S SUPER73, NEW RAD, TEENY TINY E-CARS & MORE

EV Channels Review

The Wheel-E podcast covers a range of electric mobility news, with a significant focus on new e-bike releases. The Ride1Up Revv1 is highlighted as a surprisingly affordable moped-style e-bike, offering full suspension for around $2300 and a hardtail for $1800, making it a compelling alternative to more expensive options like the Super73. While not yet tested, its specs, including a 750W motor with 1500W peak power and optional dual batteries, impress on paper. The podcast also touches on Rad Power Bikes' 'New Rad' initiative, addressing past mistakes and focusing on safety and reliability under new leadership. Electric Bike Company's introduction of optional torque sensors for $99 is praised for enhancing ride feel and intuitiveness. The discussion also covers Juiced Bikes' limited edition HyperScrambler 2, Harley-Davidson's future all-electric vision, and the emergence of low-speed electric vehicles (LSVs) as a potential urban mobility solution. The segment on LSVs, like the Eli, emphasizes their safety and practicality as alternatives to larger vehicles.
