New York Wants to Ban E-Motos — And We Need to Talk About…

About this episode

This week on The Weekly Recharge, New York lawmakers are proposing new restrictions on the sale of high-powered e-motos, Honda has revealed a carbon eMTB concept, and Gazelle is expanding its Ultimate lineup.We also respond to the strong reaction to our N+ Ford Mustang e-bike review. Viewers questioned its $4,000 price, motor performance, comfort, and whether we were too easy on it, so we break down where we think the bike succeeds, where it falls short, and how we approach e-bike reviews.Plus, we discuss fast charging and battery health, e-bike throttles, Rider of the Week, trivia, riding gear, the Gitche Gumee State Trail, and this week’s e-bike deals.Let us know in the comments: do you think New York is taking the right approach to high-powered e-motos?👕 Merch + Rider of the Week Riders highlighted during the Rider of the Week section get a free T-shirt!
