Podcast 498: Electric Motorcycle Thunderdome

Motorcycles & Misfits

This week on our motorcycle podcast Liza shares an amazing story in a segment we call How Did We Not Know About This, about motorcycles designed by NASA for the moon. Moon scooters were almost a thing! Next up we talk about the massive influx of new electric motorcycles being announced, and who is going to survive this EMoto Thunderdome. Will it be a company with a base in the industry like Kymco or Kawasaki? Or will it be a small company like Fuell or Cake? Do any of these companies bring some new innovation to the table? Or are they all just different aesthetics in an industry already capped by technology? And what does this mean to the rider that hasn't even thought of buying an electric motorcycle yet? We discuss all these things, and why you should be watching the market as they all fight to survive and claim their spot in the future of motorcycling. In game time, Liza springs a spelling bee on the guys, and we find out who can actually spell these often mispronounced motorcycle words. And lastly, we read listener emails and find out what most of us may be doing wrong. With Liza, Stumpy John, Morgan and Bagel.
