WHEEL-E PODCAST: GOCYCLE CARGO E-BIKE, MASSIVE BIKE HEIST, MORE

EV Channels Review

The Wheel-E podcast covers a diverse range of electric mobility news, highlighting the Gocycle cargo e-bike as a premium, lightweight option with F1-inspired design, exotic materials, and a substantial 440lb load capacity. While praised for its engineering and unique features like paddle shifters and a belt drive, its high price point (starting around $6,500) and polarizing handlebar design are noted as potential drawbacks, suggesting it may appeal more to a European market. The discussion also touches on a significant e-bike heist, the historical struggles of car manufacturers entering the e-bike market, the resilience of Gogoro's battery-swapping network during a Taiwanese earthquake, Harley-Davidson's new S2 Mulholland electric cruiser, and protective gear for e-bike riders. The Gocycle's innovative design is a key takeaway, though its affordability and practicality for the average consumer are questioned.
