Lectric is expanding their line again... recently the eTrike and now this: https://electrek.co/2023/02/21/game-changing-lectric-xpedition-launched-as-affordable-electric-cargo-bike/ https://lectricebikes.com/pages/xpedition-cargo-ebike It doesn't fold (except for the handlebars) but lots of...

Except their EV Truck (which is just an electrified Ram, doesn't look like a whole new platform), won't be out until late 2024 (commercial even says 'Coming Late 2024'... which is ironic). So the counter to them is that Ram prospective owners are going to suffer from ED... Electrification...

1. So the Gravel Roadster has a throttle now? Don't see it on the website. 2. Can you order it with the 2nd battery already installed? Don't see that option on the website either.

Not sure I've seen any other ebikes in this format other than modified Lectrics: https://electrek.co/2023/02/02/swft-bmx-e-bike-review-finally-a-fun-electric-bmx-bike-on-a-budget/ Looks pretty cool and with a $999 price ($735 at Best Buy), it's affordable for an N+1.

We got a PHEV 6 years ago, replaced it with a Model Y 2 years ago and have had the Leaf for just over a year... all using Level 1/120v charging. These were/are all local commuters so charging overnight on plain old Level 1 is still sufficient for us. We will see when we add a 3rd.

Looks like Tesla is putting price pressure on the other EVs... Ford dropping Mach-E prices after they had raised them for 23 model year: https://electrek.co/2023/01/30/ford-slashes-price-mustang-mach-e-ev-price-war/

Sorry to necro this thread but I just realized I forgot to reply with what helmet to send me until a few weeks ago. Reached back out just to see and they said no problem and sent one to me that I just got today... over 2 years after my crash... that's some good customer service.

@kneebenderbiker Even if it's an old thread... I would ask if there was a resolution. You never know if the OP forgot to update or what. Welcome to EBR!

Actually, it looks like the Pace still has fixed front fork. The picture above the Gen 2 review is for the step thru Level. I guess the Pace will once again be their lightest ebike... sad to hear about the Soltera... but I guess it was too close to the Pace 350 model.

@TeamAventon Article says the Soltera is being discontinued? Will there be a replacement model?

Quite a few restrictions for the used EV credit.. good luck.

That's what some flippers were doing for the Jeep Wrangler 4xe and Grand Cherokee 4xe. Chrysler was doing a $7500 rebate on the sale price (their PHEVs were eligible for full $7500 credit since they were built in NA) and then the flipper would sell it because the lease buyout was lower than...

I think I mentioned this but there is a current loophole in leasing that bypasses all the restrictions of purchase (build location, battery materials, MSRP, income) because the lessor gets the $7500 credit and then can choose to pass that on to the lessee. Ally Bank is passing on this credit (up...

I got see the Ariya at the LA Auto show and compared to the BZ4Xabcefg or whatever the Toyota one is called... the Ariya seems better to me. We also have a 2022 Leaf and we really like that car so I'm sure the Ariya would be a good buy.

Hah... couldn't figure out what that "phone" cord was for but it's for the "remote" control. This is like old school technology... where's the modem? :)

That's why the EV trucks are cool... just use the outlets in the bed or frunk. Some of the newer EVs have the V2L adapter too.

So you just hook this up to the 12v battery terminals and it's good? I didn't know the EV batteries charge the 12v. Can you do this with ICE vehicles?

There are some instances where "on your left" works better... sometimes when I ring the bell, the pedestrian doesn't know where I'm coming from (and doesn't know they should always shift right). But I do prefer the bell partly because it makes me feel like Hector Salamanca. :) 🛎️

They are releasing an e-Trike to that is much lower than the competition (and it folds). Wish they would do a full size 26+inch tire bike.
