EV Channels Review

This episode of the Wheel-E podcast covers a diverse range of electric two-wheelers and other novel electric vehicles. The discussion highlights VanMoof's redesigned S5 and A5 e-bikes, emphasizing their minimalist aesthetic, integrated features, and new phone-mount display system, though concerns about the front hub motor and chain drive persist. A unique offering for taller riders is the Shaq-endorsed 36-inch wheel e-bike from DirtySixer, addressing a niche market. The podcast also delves into new mid-drive motors from Bafang, updates to the Himiway Escape Pro e-bike with a larger battery, and the high-performance Ariel Rider Kepler fat-tire e-bike. ONYX's CTY2 model is presented as a more affordable, US-built electric moped with impressive speed capabilities when unlocked. The TS Bravo electric motorcycle is noted for its highway capability and substantial battery range at a competitive price point in Europe. Finally, the Wolf King GT Pro electric scooter is reviewed as an exceptionally powerful, high-speed urban transport option, albeit with regulatory challenges. The episode concludes with a look at an unusual $8,000 electric boat with a submarine capsule.
