WHEEL-E PODCAST: 65 MPH ONYX MOPED, LIGHTWEIGHT DAHON E-BIKES, MORE

EV Channels Review

The Wheel-E podcast covers a range of electric two-wheelers, with a significant focus on the new ONYX RCR 80V electric moped. The reviewer highlights its increased power and speed, reaching up to 65 mph, a notable upgrade from its predecessor. However, the discussion delves deeply into the legal gray areas surrounding its registration, noting that while it comes limited to 20 mph, unlocking its full potential requires checking state-specific regulations for classification as a moped or motorcycle. The segment also touches upon ONYX's company resurgence after a period of closure, with the original founder back at the helm. Other topics include TQ's ultra-lightweight HPR40 motor for performance cyclists, the HappyRun G300 Pro as an affordable, pedal-equipped electric motorcycle alternative for off-road use, Aventon's over-the-air update adding a 'boost mode' to existing e-bikes, and Dahon's remarkably lightweight and affordable K Feather folding e-bike. The episode concludes with a look at Honda's new CUbE electric scooter, featuring swappable batteries for increased power and range.
