What Are Alt-Wheels?

Alternative Wheels.

Alt-Wheels are:
– Made for a single rider
– Smaller than bicycles
– Affordable
– Portable

Electric skateboards, electric scooters, electric unicycles, the Onewheel, the Jyroball.

Alt-Wheels differs from “micromobility.” That’s all in this post.

Chinese start-up Mobike loses more than 200,000 bikes

Hong Kong rival Gobee pulled out of Europe altogether at the beginning of 2018, citing “mass destruction” of its bike fleet.

One day soon, the “liberal” democracies on this planet will finally wake up to what they are doing to themselves.

New Material Breaks World Record Turning Heat into Electricity

The new material is so effective that it could be used to provide energy for sensors or even small computer processors. Instead of connecting small electrical devices to cables, they could generate their own electricity from temperature differences. The new material has now been presented in the journal “Nature”.

How does that fit into Alt-Wheels? AirTags and other such location devices.

Scientists Develop New Material to Make Lithium Ion Batteries Self-Healing and Easily Recyclable

Lithium-ion batteries are notorious for developing internal electrical shorts that can ignite a battery’s liquid electrolytes, leading to explosions and fires.

Engineers at the University of Illinois, however, have developed a solid polymer-based electrolyte that can self-heal after damage—and the material can also be recycled without the use of harsh chemicals or high temperatures.

Still years and years away from market…

EV Adoption Could Cost Germany 75,000 Jobs

Key point:

Whereas it takes some 4,000 workers to assemble a million gasoline-powered engines per year, just 1,840 are needed to build the same number of electric motors, the study claims. And a battery factory requires only a fifth of the workforce when compared with an engine plant.

That math was behind the recent strike of the United Auto Workers here in America: Payne: UAW-GM fight exposes fears of an EV future

Long supporters of government mpg mandates to force a transition to EVs, the UAW has gotten cold feet as studies — including one from its own research department — show battery-powered vehicle production takes less labor to manufacture.

It takes even less labor to manufacture Alt-Wheels so there’s no hope for transitioning to employment there — besides which China has that all sewn up (Future Motion’s American-based Onewheel factory notwithstanding).

Here’s a good take on the politics of the Alt-Wheels bills being vetoed by the hand-wringing Governor of NY State. This is particularly welcome as it’s from someone outside of the bike-advocacy echo chamber:

NY votes 137-4 in favor of legalizing electric bicycles, dictator Cuomo vetoes.

Truth:

Illegal and Reckless Riding in the PEV Community – What does it mean for you?

Never ride without safety gear:

Inmotion v8 Epic Fall EUC Electric Unicycle

The following is a promo video but highlights that electric unicycles can also be more like conventional transport:

Super electric unicycle Супер электрический одноколесный велосипед

That’s not the first time for a design like that. But it makes me wonder if we might see it adopted by Harley-Davidson, Honda, and other motorcycle makers as an alternative to their conventional offerings.

From Russia with love (with a bit of Queen thrown in!):

wish you a happy new year 2020 on your electric unicycle / счастливого нового 2020 года !!!

That nation’s proximity to China has made it take up eScooters and EUCs faster than here in America. First Sputnik, now this!

Alt-Wheels differs from “micromobility.” That’s all in this post.

EV Adoption Could Cost Germany 75,000 Jobs

Key point:

Whereas it takes some 4,000 workers to assemble a million gasoline-powered engines per year, just 1,840 are needed to build the same number of electric motors, the study claims. And a battery factory requires only a fifth of the workforce when compared with an engine plant.

That math was behind the recent strike of the United Auto Workers here in America: Payne: UAW-GM fight exposes fears of an EV future

Long supporters of government mpg mandates to force a transition to EVs, the UAW has gotten cold feet as studies — including one from its own research department — show battery-powered vehicle production takes less labor to manufacture.

It takes even less labor to manufacture Alt-Wheels so there’s no hope for transitioning to employment there — besides which China has that all sewn up (Future Motion’s American-based Onewheel factory notwithstanding).

Here’s a good take on the politics of the Alt-Wheels bills being vetoed by the hand-wringing Governor of NY State. This is particularly welcome as it’s from someone outside of the bike-advocacy echo chamber:

NY votes 137-4 in favor of legalizing electric bicycles, dictator Cuomo vetoes.

Inmotion v8 Epic Fall EUC Electric Unicycle

The following is a promo video but highlights that electric unicycles can also be more like conventional transport:

That’s not the first time for a design like that. But it makes me wonder if we might see it adopted by Harley-Davidson, Honda, and other motorcycle makers as an alternative to their conventional offerings.

Alternative Wheels.

Alt-Wheels are:

New Material Breaks World Record Turning Heat into Electricity

The new material is so effective that it could be used to provide energy for sensors or even small computer processors. Instead of connecting small electrical devices to cables, they could generate their own electricity from temperature differences. The new material has now been presented in the journal “Nature”.

How does that fit into Alt-Wheels? AirTags and other such location devices.

Scientists Develop New Material to Make Lithium Ion Batteries Self-Healing and Easily Recyclable

Lithium-ion batteries are notorious for developing internal electrical shorts that can ignite a battery’s liquid electrolytes, leading to explosions and fires.

Engineers at the University of Illinois, however, have developed a solid polymer-based electrolyte that can self-heal after damage—and the material can also be recycled without the use of harsh chemicals or high temperatures.

Still years and years away from market…

Alternative Wheels.

Alt-Wheels are:
– Made for a single rider
– Smaller than bicycles
– Affordable
– Portable

Electric skateboards, electric scooters, electric unicycles, the Onewheel, the Jyroball.

Alt-Wheels differs from “micromobility.” That’s all in this post.

Chinese start-up Mobike loses more than 200,000 bikes

Hong Kong rival Gobee pulled out of Europe altogether at the beginning of 2018, citing “mass destruction” of its bike fleet.

One day soon, the “liberal” democracies on this planet will finally wake up to what they are doing to themselves.

New Material Breaks World Record Turning Heat into Electricity

The new material is so effective that it could be used to provide energy for sensors or even small computer processors. Instead of connecting small electrical devices to cables, they could generate their own electricity from temperature differences. The new material has now been presented in the journal “Nature”.

How does that fit into Alt-Wheels? AirTags and other such location devices.

Scientists Develop New Material to Make Lithium Ion Batteries Self-Healing and Easily Recyclable

Lithium-ion batteries are notorious for developing internal electrical shorts that can ignite a battery’s liquid electrolytes, leading to explosions and fires.

Engineers at the University of Illinois, however, have developed a solid polymer-based electrolyte that can self-heal after damage—and the material can also be recycled without the use of harsh chemicals or high temperatures.

Still years and years away from market…

THE PINT | ONE MONTH OF USE | EBOARDING REVIEW

People who think Alt-Wheels are for people with complete bodies are wrong:

EV Adoption Could Cost Germany 75,000 Jobs

Key point:

Whereas it takes some 4,000 workers to assemble a million gasoline-powered engines per year, just 1,840 are needed to build the same number of electric motors, the study claims. And a battery factory requires only a fifth of the workforce when compared with an engine plant.

That math was behind the recent strike of the United Auto Workers here in America: Payne: UAW-GM fight exposes fears of an EV future

Long supporters of government mpg mandates to force a transition to EVs, the UAW has gotten cold feet as studies — including one from its own research department — show battery-powered vehicle production takes less labor to manufacture.

It takes even less labor to manufacture Alt-Wheels so there’s no hope for transitioning to employment there — besides which China has that all sewn up (Future Motion’s American-based Onewheel factory notwithstanding).

Here’s a good take on the politics of the Alt-Wheels bills being vetoed by the hand-wringing Governor of NY State. This is particularly welcome as it’s from someone outside of the bike-advocacy echo chamber:

NY votes 137-4 in favor of legalizing electric bicycles, dictator Cuomo vetoes.

Truth:

Illegal and Reckless Riding in the PEV Community – What does it mean for you?

Never ride without safety gear:

Inmotion v8 Epic Fall EUC Electric Unicycle

The following is a promo video but highlights that electric unicycles can also be more like conventional transport:

Super electric unicycle Супер электрический одноколесный велосипед

That’s not the first time for a design like that. But it makes me wonder if we might see it adopted by Harley-Davidson, Honda, and other motorcycle makers as an alternative to their conventional offerings.

From Russia with love (with a bit of Queen thrown in!):

wish you a happy new year 2020 on your electric unicycle / счастливого нового 2020 года !!!

That nation’s proximity to China has made it take up eScooters and EUCs faster than here in America. First Sputnik, now this!
