Wheel-E Podcast: VW e-bikes, Juiced Scrambler, Anyland Auto-wheelie, more

This is a podcast episode about electric bikes and scooters, not home energy upgrades, so it doesn't connect to energy-efficiency planning for your house. The episode rounds up recent e-bike and micromobility news, including new smart e-bikes from Volkswagen with radar, cameras, and heads-up display glasses, and a $13,000 full-suspension e-bike from Specialized. It also covers a kids' e-bike from Huffy built for pedal-assisted riding, and a shared three-wheeled e-trike that Veo is adding to its rental fleet in some cities.

Other segments look at a test ride of the Juiced Scrambler, a moto-style e-bike the hosts call a good value option, and a new electric scooter called the HMP Flash that can reportedly hit 75 mph. There's also a segment on the Anyland Rev Pro, a small electric pit bike with an automatic wheelie feature.

None of this touches on home weatherization, heat pumps, insulation, or rebate programs. If you're weighing energy upgrades for your house, this particular roundup won't be useful to you, though it may be of interest if you're separately curious about electric bikes or scooters for transportation.
