Each year the Micromobility America conference meets in California to showcase the latest companies and advancements in the light electric vehicle world. The sister show to Micromobility Europe, this year’s North American conference moved to Southern California, bringing to Costa Mesa an array of just about every type of micromobility device you could imagine, from e-bikes, e-scooters and fully-fledged electric motorcycles to four-wheeled neighborhood electric vehicles.

While it’s hard to cover every single company from the show, we did our best to pull out as many highlights as possible. See them below, or watch the video for an up close and personal experience. Or both!

Lectric Ebikes

Lectric Ebikes, which has grown in just five years to the best-selling electric bike brand in the US, had a prime spot at the show to share the company’s ever-growing lineup. At the center of the booth was the new Lectric XPedition 2.0 electric cargo bike, which was recently unveiled as a major update to the brand’s first cargo e-bike.

The XPedition somehow retained the same $1,399 selling price, while coming with lots of new features like an upgraded frame, improved suspension fork, torque sensor, better brakes, color display, larger battery options, and plenty of other new features.

The company’s CEO, Levi Conlow, was also one of the most popular speakers at the event, sharing his insights with the standing-room-only audience.

VMAX Electric Scooters

The Swiss-based electric scooter company VMAX was also on hand, leveraging their US expansion last year and their local LA-based distribution center.

The company brought nearly all of their models of electric scooters to the show and I had the chance to try several of them out.

The small and low-cost ($349!) VMAX VX5 and its upgraded VX5 Pro electric scooter are surprisingly peppy for a so-called “entry-level scooter”, and I could easily hit the 18 mph (30 km/h) top speed. There’s no suspension, but the scooter is so light that it doesn’t seem to miss it.

I spent more time on the VX2 Extreme (and I also borrowed one for the few days I was in LA – more on that experience soon) and can tell you that the upgraded power is potent. In its highest power mode, the 1,600W rear hub motor would easily wheelie and I had to remember to keep more weight on the front of the scooter while accelerating or just not go full-throttle, like I’m used to on weaker scooters where the throttle is basically an on/off switch. With the VX2 Extreme, you can treat the throttle more like an actual variable accelerator instead of just mashing it all the way to take off. That’s how much power this light and nimble scooter unleashes. Pretty impressive for $799!

The last model I tried was the VMAX VX4, which adds some comfortable suspension and more speed, though is a bit heavier. You give up some portability to get that extra performance, so this isn’t one you’d want to carry for too long (unless you’re ok with hauling 60+ lbs around by hand), but it’s incredibly planted and comfortable for longer cruising at higher speeds.

Fly E-Bike

This was my first chance to see the expanded lineup from Fly, which is basically the go-to electric bicycle dealer in New York City. They’ve got dozens of retail footprints in the city and are the main supplier to all of those delivery riders you’ll see doing the important yet thankless work of criss-crossing the city to bring food and deliveries to residents in mere minutes.

While Fly is known for its electric bicycles, the company has expanded into nicer-looking and higher-performance electric seated scooters and motorcycles.

I was shocked to see the impressive designs at the booth, especially since I had long associated Fly with all of those electric bikes with massive batteries meant for all-day delivery riders and not heavier duty motorcycles like these.

BikeOn electric bike conversion kit

The BikeOn conversion kit is one of the most highly engineered kits I’ve seen for converting a standard pedal bike into an e-bike.

It mounts in under 30 seconds to nearly any bicycle, attaching its bright red anodized gear ring to the largest sprocket on a bike’s rear cassette. It includes a built-in torque sensor that measures the force applied to the chain, allowing the small yet powerful motor to power the rear wheel directly.

The entire kit weighs just 3.8 lb (1.7 kg) without the battery, and that little motor is rated for either 250W or 750W, depending on the market. There’s even a compatible Android and iOS smartphone app that you can use as the kit’s dashboard.

The battery fits in a water bottle holder, and adds just 3.3 lb (1.5 kg) to the bike. It’s fairly small at 250 Wh, but they say it can add 20 miles of range to the bike.

This kit is not cheap, priced at US $1,246 without a battery or US $1,599 with a battery. You can buy very nice complete electric bicycles for that price, but that’s not really the point of this kit. Instead, this is designed to allow riders to convert a bicycle that they already own and love – especially nicer, high-end bicycles that you wouldn’t want to bolt a bunch of heavy gear onto.

Oh Wow Cycles

Oh Wow Cycles has some of the biggest – and coolest – electric bicycles I’ve ever seen. This company’s electric trikes are simply out of this world. Sure, they’ve got more “normal” two-wheeled e-bikes too, but the rickshaws are what really catch your eye. And that’s exactly what happened at the show, with these big people movers instantly drawing me into the booth.

The new Conductor Plus is basically the minivan of the e-bike world, providing ample seating in the back for multiple children or even adults! And as a double-duty electric trike, the bench seat actually folds forward to convert into more of a pickup truck bed for cargo or pets.

Unlike some trikes, which require you to bust out your hex wrench set and swap accessories to convert from passengers to cargo-carrying setup, this e-trike can convert in two seconds without the need for any tools.

There are also an option for dual batteries, which is a good idea for anyone planning on longer rides or using this e-bike for more commercial-style delivery duty.

I was also fortunate to have the chance to meet the company’s founder, Ash Soliman, and get a tour of the new models with him at the company’s booth. It was refreshing to see how excited Ash is about these e-bikes, especially for their use in so many roles from family transport to cargo duties and more.

These are definitely some awesome models to check out if you want the kind of heavy-hauling capabilities that expand beyond those of a traditional e-bike or even cargo bike.

Tempo e-bike insurance

Getting your electric bike stolen is an awful feeling. I’ve been there. Multiple times. Not only does it feel like a personal violation, but you’re left with a serious financial loss since most e-bikes are well over $1,000.

Fortunately, there’s a new electric bike theft insurance program called Tempo that sounds like exactly what I need – and probably what you need, too.

The company’s founder, Michael Keating, explained to me how the system works. In a nutshell, you pay US $199 and you get three years of theft protection – basically $5.50 per month. That protection includes active theft recovery by working with bike registries and local law enforcement. As part of the membership, riders get a registered bike number stamped on multiple anti-theft stickers designed to alert thieves of the active recovery program, and the stickers also include a special UV pigment so they still leave a mark on the bike even if removed.

If a bike is stolen, Tempo does its best to get it back using all of its various tools and connections in the industry. If they can’t get your bike back, you get up to $2,500 from Tempo to replace the bike. If you’re riding any of the mostly sub-$2,500 electric bikes in the US (the vast majority of all e-bikes), that’s a pretty great deal. If you’re on a $10,000 S-Works e-bike, you may want to look for a different insurance program.

Hyryd hydrogen-powered e-bikes

I first had the chance to see Hyryd’s hydrogen-powered electric bikes at the Micromobility Europe 2024 show, and now the company most recently showed off their technology in the US at Micromobility America 2024.

Unlike nearly all other e-bikes, which store energy in a battery, the Hyryd e-bikes use a small hydrogen tank combined with a fuel cell to generate electricity that powers the rear-wheel motor.

The bikes themselves are designed for the European market and thus don’t have the same power we’re used to in the US, but the technology is neat to see in action.

I’m not sure this is the future of e-bikes, and in fact I’m fairly sure it isn’t. But if they can find some niche use such as in sharing or commercial fleets where a central electrolysis machine can refill hydrogen bottles in a depot, then perhaps there’s something to this.

E-Cuffs scooter lock

This one caught me by surprise, but it was neat to see these new scooter handcuff-style locks from E-Cuffs.

They use a quick-release system, so they can stay mounted on the scooter’s stem for normal use and then pop off for quick locking to various objects.

Scooters can represent a tricky locking problem since they rarely have a good triangle like e-bikes to secure a lock onto the frame. But with the E-Cuffs, an e-scooter can be conveniently locked around its stem or downtube.

Joyride Revii

We’ve seen Joyride at several events in the past, showcasing the company’s connected platform that makes it easy for startups or established companies to operate fleets of smart-connected micromobility vehicles. Want to open your own Bird scooter startup? Joyride can get you up and running easily with your own fleet of digitally integrated scooters that all phone home.

Now the company is demonstrating off a new platform called Revii for larger micromobility vehicles (sometimes referred to as “minimobility”) including golf carts, Low-Speed Vehicles (LSVs) and other Neighborhood Electric Vehicles (NEVs).

The app works similarly to Joyride’s micromobility platform, but makes it easier for hotels, resorts, convention centers, or other operators of vehicle fleets like these to manage and control their vehicles.

As these important car-replacing vehicles become more common, and more locations begin offering fleets for rental, shared, or other commercial uses, Revii’s platform could become increasingly common in the space.

Ryvid electric motorcycles

Electric motorcycles were also a big part of the show, with Ryvid sharing test rides on its US-built Anthem and Outset electric motorcycles. Both feature Ryvid’s proprietary removable battery design, allowing motorcycle owners to park outside and roll their large battery into their garage or apartment to charge from a wall plug. You can even take it up into a tall apartment building as long as you’ve got an elevator!

The Anthem also has a number of other cool features, such as its actuator-controlled adjustable frame, which lets riders move the seat up and down by as much as four inches (100 mm), even while riding.

The Outset is built on a similar frame, though lacks the actuator. It’s built more like a dual-sport bike and will likely make off-road riders feel more at home than the obviously commuter-oriented Anthem. At under $6k, it’s also very attractively priced – though the Anthem’s $6,495 price is also quite enticing.

Both bikes are capable of highway speeds into the 70’s of MPH, and can achieve city ranges of up to 70 miles, though highway commuting will quickly drop that range.

I also had the chance to try the updated Anthem at the Outset, sneaking them out of the show grounds for some street riding. The Outset I tested even had Ryvid’s higher-power ASI controller, which offers a major power upgrade for riders who want even more performance.

These are incredibly well-designed electric motorcycles, though you have to remember that they’re designed for local riding first. With a 4 kWh battery, they just aren’t meant for touring or long-distance riding. But for anyone who commutes 20 miles to work and wants a fun, inexpensive, and efficient electric vehicle to turn that slog of a commute into a joyride, this is the way to go!

Land Moto

Land Moto also boasts US manufacturing for its commuter-level electric motorcycles, which carry their own unique design styling. This was my first chance to see Land Moto’s bikes in person and they were definitely head-turners.

Starting at $6,995, the Land Moto District comes in street and dirt versions, with both claiming a max speed of 70 mph (112 km).

They also tout a max range of 120 miles (193 km), though that’s from the largest battery option with 4.8 kWh of capacity. The base model has a 1.8 kWh battery that claims a more conservative 40 miles (64 km) of range at slower city speeds.

The ability to dial in the battery capacity (and its effect on pricing) allows riders to choose exactly what they need, which is a rare feature in this industry.

Shandoka electric motorcycle conversion kit for classic motorcycles

This one is absolutely fascinating. Check this out: Shandoka is an electric motorcycle conversion kit company that has developed a patented conversion system that fits a wide range of classic motorcycles. The system includes a battery and controller setup that mounts in the frame in place of the original combustion engine, and a rear hub motor that replaces the previous rear wheel.

It allows riders to breathe new life into older bikes, especially those that suffer from engine problems but otherwise still have structurally sound frames and components that could easily be put back onto the road with a new powertrain.

And because most of these bikes were originally produced in the 1980s, they are usually grandfathered into those older regulations making these types of conversions incredibly easy to perform.

These bikes in the pictures from the show are all naked showing off the engineering that went into the design, but they can also be buttoned back up or covered in a builder’s own custom body panels to create unique new designs.

The brainchild (and labor of love) of Ernest Eich, these conversion kits are built in the company’s North Carolina facility, showcasing yet another example of US manufacturing for electric motorcycles and their components.

I had the chance to chat with Ernest at the show, and this is a company that we’ll definitely want to take a deeper looker at soon.

There’s always more to come

While this can’t cover everything at the show, it’s a collection of some of the most interesting and standout examples of micromobility in all of its diverse forms.

As the industry continues to grow and mature, bouncing back from a rollercoaster of highs and lows since the beginning of the pandemic years, we’re expecting to continue seeing more innovation and interesting designs like these.

Stay tuned for some deeper dives into several of these companies as we explore what makes their light electric vehicles and production processes unique.

Among the lineup, there’s the DELTA 2 Solar Generator bundle that comes with an expansion battery and two 110W solar panels down at a $1,049 low, among many others. We also spotted Lectric’s one-day-only April Fools flash sale that isn’t joking around as its XP 3.0 e-bikes lead a bunch of price cuts and changed-up bundle packages at new $899 and $1,099 lows. Lastly, EGO is continuing its Power+ savings event with its EGO POWER+ 56V 15-inch String Trimmer that comes with a 2.5Ah battery at $159, along with plenty more lawn care solutions at discounted rates.

EcoFlow Easter Sale takes up to 60% off power stations with free gear, increased EcoCredit rewards, more – all from $169

Now that we’ve switched over to April, EcoFlow has launched its Easter Sale through April 14, with up to $3,737 taken off power stations, complete with scheduled flash sales, free gear at certain thresholds, and higher EcoCredit rewards for members than we’ve seen. Of the two web-exclusive offers this time around, we spotted the DELTA 2 Portable Power Station bundle with a smart extra battery and two 110W solar panels for $1,049 shipped. This package would normally run you $2,596 at full price, and we don’t often see this combination of gear all bundled together either – with past sales mostly offering either the panels or the expansion battery. The deal here comes in as a 60% markdown that puts $1,547 back in your pocket to give you the lowest price we have tracked.

There’s some solid additional savings and promotions going on during this sale, starting with you getting a free Power Hat ($129 value) on orders over $500 or two 125W solar panels ($499 value) on orders over $3,000. From there, we’re seeing increased rewards for members (free to sign-up + get 800 EcoCredits), with standard membership giving you 3x EcoCredits and Plus members scoring 3.5x EcoCredits – plus, you can redeem any you already have to get 5% in extra savings off your order at checkout. On top of this, you’ll also be getting an additional 500 EcoCredits for each order you place during the sale’s timeframe.

EcoFlow’s DELTA 2 power station makes a great companion for outdoor travels, and trips in general – plus, it can certainly handle keeping essentials running at home should you find yourself in a sudden blackout. This bundle starts you off at a 2,048Wh LiFePO4 capacity that you can further expand to 3,072Wh with an additional expansion battery. It boasts 15 output ports, through which it can dish out up to 1,800W of steady power that is able to surge up to 2,200W for larger backup needs.

The increased power output, as well as charging times, are increased from the brand’s X-Boost tech that is present here, giving you an 80% battery in just 50 minutes when plugged into a wall outlet, or you can wait a little longer at 80 minutes for a full battery. The included solar panels in the bundle give you the option to recharge via the sun’s rays, which you can increase up to a maximum of 500W of input. There’s also the option to connect it to your car’s auxiliary port or utilize its max 1,100W of DC input.

Lectric Xp 3.0 e-bike

Lectric cuts prices on best-selling XP 3.0 e-bikes to new lows starting from $899 (Today only), more

Lectric has launched an April Fools flash sale through the rest of the day that is taking $100 off all its XP 3.0 e-bikes, plus some additional price cuts from previous sales’ higher rates and bundle change-ups on other models – no joke! Through the day until midnight tonight, you can now score the standard XP 3.0 e-bikes for $899 shipped and the XP 3.0 Long-Range e-bikes for $1,099 shipped. These models are getting brought down off their $999 and $1,199 price tags, with no bundles of free gear coming along – though much of the popular gear that usually comes in bundles are discounted on their landing pages. While we saw the long-range models drop to $1,139 at the end of February and ride through March, this is the first price cut we’ve spotted on the standard models, dropping either version of these popular e-bikes to new all-time low prices.

There’s a reason Lectric’s XP 3.0 e-bikes are the best-selling in America: not only do they offer reliable commuting power, but they do so at a far more affordable rate than most other brands on the market – plus, with these price cuts, the pot is only being sweetened further. The folding frame on any of these e-bikes house a 500W hub motor that peaks at 1,000W, delivering 20 MPH speeds unless you live within a state that permits the higher 28 MPH speeds.

The big difference (and big choice) here will depend entirely on just how far you need it to carry you throughout the day, with its pedal assistance providing you with 45 miles of travel riding the standard models and up to 65 miles of travel riding the long-range models. Yes, don’t worry, there are throttles to go entirely electric, though keep in mind doing so will decrease your traveling range. Along with the free add-on gear, you’ll also enjoy some quality stock features, like the integrated rear cargo rack, puncture-resistant tires, 180mm hydraulic disc brakes, the previously mentioned foldable body, an LCD display, and more.

Lectric XP 3.0 e-bike price cuts – no jokes here! (Today only):

Lectric XPedition 2.0 offers with up to $654 bundles:

Lectric XPress 750 Commuter e-bikes with $557 bundle

Lectric ONE LR e-bike with $467 bundle

Lectric XP Trike with $420 bundle

Lectric XP Lite 2.0 offers with up to $177 bundles:

EGO 56V 15-inch split-shaft cordless string trimmer

Get those weeds under control with EGO’s 56V 15-inch cordless split-shaft string trimmer at $159

Amazon is offering the EGO POWER+ 56V 15-inch String Trimmer with 2.5Ah battery for $159 shipped. Coming down off its more recent $180 rate that is down from its original $200 price tag, this package has mainly kept to its MSRP for most of the last year, with discounts dropping things lowest to $149 back in May 2024 and completely skipping over it for Black Friday and Christmas sales. Today’s deal shaves $21 off the recent going rate ($41 off in total) to give you the third-lowest price we have tracked, sitting just $10 above the low from last summer’s start.

With spring here and many folks jumping back into outdoor upkeep around the home, this is a great opportunity to do away with the noise and fumes of gas guzzlers for an electric solution. This split-shaft string trimmer from EGO delivers a 15-inch cutting swath that is easier to replace broken lines thanks to the rapid-reload head. It also comes with a variable speed control for more versatility in the jobs your tackling, as well as an IPX4 weather resistance that can handle sudden weather changes while you’re still working.

GM is beating EV rivals by giving buyers more choices at lower prices

GM is beating EV rivals by giving buyers more choices at lower prices

GM-EV-rivals

GM’s electric vehicle sales nearly doubled in the first three months of the year, with impressive growth across all brands. Chevy is now the fastest-growing EV brand in the US, with the electric Equinox and Blazer rolling out, while Cadillac is quickly making a comeback in the luxury segment. Even GMC just had its best first quarter ever. With the broadest selection of models in the industry, GM continues outpacing EV rivals.

Here’s how GM is outpacing EV rivals in the US

After all four of its brands notched double-digit growth in the first quarter, GM led the US auto industry in total, retail, and fleet sales.

GM sold 693,363 vehicles in the first three months of 2025, 17% more than last year. According to Rory Harvey, GM’s president of global markets, the company outpaced every other major automaker, “and the driving force is our portfolio.”

With the “broadest portfolio of EVs in the industry,” GM is emerging as a real EV competitor in the US. GM’s electric vehicle sales nearly doubled (+94%) in the US with 31,887 EVs sold in Q1.

Starting at $34,995, GM calls the Chevy Equinox EV “America’s most affordable 315+ miles range EV.” The 2025 Equinox EV LT FWD has an EPA-estimated range of up to 319 miles.

Cadillac had its best first quarter since 2008, with retail sales up 21%. Although Lyriq sales slipped 26% to 4,300, the luxury brand delivered the first Optiq (1,716) models, Cadillac’s most affordable EV, during the quarter. GM’s luxury brand had its best retail market share since 2014.

GMC had its best first quarter, with EV sales surging by 183%. The Hummer EV, including the pickup and SUV versions, saw higher demand, with sales doubling to nearly 3,500. The new GMC Sierra EV contributed another 1,249 to the total. With the 2026 Sierra EV starting at $25,000 less, GMC is poised to see even more demand.

Thanks to its wide selection of electric SUVs, pickups, and luxury models, GM expects to remain the second-largest seller of EVs in the US after Tesla.

GM will round out its portfolio with the next-gen Chevy Bolt EV, which is expected to arrive later this year or in early 2026.

Tesla is sitting on $200 million worth of Cybertruck inventory

Tesla is sitting on 0 million worth of Cybertruck inventory

incentives EVs

Tesla has about $200 million worth of Cybertrucks in inventory in the US, as the truck is extremely difficult to sell.

A year and a half into production, Cybertruck production has ramped up, and inventory is building up.

Last year, Tesla could blame low Cybertruck deliveries on the production ramp, the more expensive Foundation Series, and the lack of access to the $7,500 tax credit.

All of those excuses are not available to Tesla this year. The Cybertruck is simply proving challenging to sell, and the automaker has to throttle down production to avoid building up too much inventory.

Advertisement – scroll for more content

This proved problematic in March as Tesla had to put a containment hold on the Cybertruck in anticipation of a recall of units produced to date over a trim falling off the truck.

At the production level, the fix was introduced on March 21st and Tesla still needs to fix Cybertrucks delivered to customers.

In the meantime, Tesla finds itself holding more Cybertruck inventory than ever, with almost 2,400 Cybertrucks in new inventory available (via Tesla-Info):

That’s around $200 million worth of Cybertrucks.

With Tesla having issues selling new Cybertrucks, the automaker is reportedly not taking any as trade-ins. Many Cybertruck owners reported trying to trade-in the truck for a new vehicle and they were told that the automaker currently doesn’t accept its own vehicle as a trade-in.

Some owners who have had their trucks in service for extended periods of time are also trying to get Tesla to take the truck back, but the company is forcing them to go through the Lemon Law process.

It’s not surprising to see Tesla not wanting to take back used Cybertrucks as their prices are falling fast.

Used Cybertruck prices are down 55% year over year, 13% over the last three months, and 6% over the last month.

As Tesla doesn’t take the Cybertruck as a trade-in, other used car dealers are also reticent about buying the vehicle. They have been known to give low-ball offers to potential sellers as they wait to see where the price will stabilize.

Electrek’s Take

I think we are far from the bottom. With this kind of inventory on hand, I expect Tesla to introduce discounts. The company is likely waiting to completely sell off its Foundation Series inventory before giving bigger discounts on the regular version.

Then, Tesla is expected to launch the RWD at a cheaper price, which is also likely to affect used prices.

That’s all while Tesla is already throttling down Cybertruck production.

I am really curious to see where this vehicle program is going. I know many have already written it off, but who knows? Maybe it can improve it with a mid-cycle update next year, and it can make a comeback?
