WHEEL-E PODCAST: STINGRAY E-BIKE, FUELL FLLOW, METACYCLE TEST RIDE & MORE

EV Channels Review

This episode of the Wheel-E podcast covers a range of electric two-wheelers, from e-bikes to electric motorcycles. The hosts discuss the FLX Menace, a Schwinn Stingray-inspired e-bike, and the KKBike K26S, a full-suspension fat-tire e-bike praised for its plush ride and 30 mph capability, despite some minor criticisms regarding its fenders and pedal assist responsiveness. A significant portion is dedicated to Amazon's controversial sale of e-bike speed-limiting defeat devices, sparking a debate on e-bike regulation and enforcement. The review of the Pedego City Commuter Platinum highlights its comfortable ride and the value of local dealerships, though its design is noted as potentially dated. The podcast also features a first look at Erik Buell's FUELL Fllow electric motorcycle, which is now taking reservations, and the Kawasaki Ninja and Z electric motorcycles, which, despite the iconic branding, are criticized for their underwhelming specifications. Finally, the SONDORS Metacycle is reviewed, with the hosts acknowledging its compromises from the initial promises but still finding it a fun and affordable option for urban commuting. The episode concludes with a look at a unique, two-thousand-dollar electric VW bus conversion that doubles as a food truck.
