In this episode, Griffin and John discuss topics ranging from proposed e-bike-related bills in NYC to a new US e-bike division of a familiar micromobility brand.
We also answer many questions from our readers and viewers regarding fast chargers, conversion kits on mountain bikes, and whether a 500W motor packs enough punch for riders on the heavier side.
As always, we also highlight a great location with bike-friendly infrastructure. This time, we visit Fort Collins, Colorado!
