The latest episode of Electrek's Wheel-E podcast covers a range of new electric vehicles, including several e-bikes and a solar-powered scooter. The show highlights new models from Gazelle, Ride1Up, and SixThreeZero, as well as a seven-seater e-bike that stands out for its unusual capacity.
Among the notable items is a solar-powered electric seated scooter that could handle commutes without ever plugging in. While details are limited in the podcast summary, the concept points to growing interest in integrating renewable energy directly into personal vehicles.
The podcast also notes that LiveWire's Honcho electric motorcycle has been approved for use in Motorcycle Safety Foundation training courses, which could make it easier for riders to learn on electric bikes. The episode also discusses affordability, such as a Ride1Up mid-drive e-bike priced at $1,295.
