EV Channels Review
This episode of the Wheel-E podcast covers a wide array of electric two-wheeled and micro-mobility vehicles. The hosts highlight new releases from Aventon, including the Pace 350 and 500 commuter e-bikes, praised for their integrated designs and quality construction, though prices have slightly increased. The Honbike folding e-bike is noted for its unique driveshaft and futuristic, albeit unconventional, design, positioning it as a low-power, maintenance-free commuter. A significant reveal is SUPER73's C1X electric motorcycle, aiming for the 75 mph market with a unique aesthetic, though production is slated for late 2023/early 2024. Can-Am is re-entering the electric motorcycle space with two new models, expected by 2024, with limited details available. Segway introduces the E110A seated electric scooter for the international market, offering a stylish, 30 mph urban solution. The discussion also touches on the growing trend of light electric motorcycles as a potential successor to high-powered e-bikes, with models like the Coulter ES1 and Niu RQi mentioned. The Apollo City electric scooter is lauded for its innovative self-healing tires, full suspension, and variable regenerative braking. The Fiido Beast offers a versatile seated/standing riding experience, though its unique design raises questions about comfort and practicality. Finally, the 'Awesomely Weird Alibaba Electric Vehicle of the Week' features a quirky, low-speed two-seater roadster, highlighting creative parts combinations for niche markets.
