It's Electric! The Electric Car Show with Afeez Kay

Afeez has a fanboy moment on today’s episode of It's Electric! Chris Yin joins him today to have a heavy discussion about rideables, more specifically EUC’s! The guys get into a huge talk about everything from policy and education, to which EUC’s are their absolute favorites! They also share their opinions on where EUC education is lacking, and which companies have run into snags and obstacles on their quest to create the best possible electric unicycles for the rider!   How learning to ride an EUC differs from other means of transportation. How different wheels stack up against one another, and Chris’ too 3 wheels of all time. Making the most of various wheels and what goes into enjoying certain makes and models. The complete lack of education surrounding etiquette where rideables are concerned. Which wheels have had issues and obstacles to overcome during their development?    “Every wheel has a different physics, every wheel has a different comfort to it” “As soon as a new wheel comes out I get kind of a craving” “I just want to experience as much as possible” “People kind of have a knee-jerk reaction against training” “I always start with a wheel, any wheel, with a lack of trust” “There’s no perfect EUC company” “You need to be able to fix your wheel because you’re not going to have a shop”   Check out House Of Job! https://www.youtube.com/user/kidkproductions   More Rideables www.rideables.org   Want more Afeez?    Instagram https://instagram.com/afeezkay?utm_source=ig_profile_share&igshid=1b6o45rhy44lk YouTube https://www.youtube.com/user/afeezk Twitter https://twitter.com/Afeez_Kay   Interested in testing out an electric vehicle? https://www.teslarentals.co.uk/#rent 

Shaz created his own electric skateboard! He’s joining Afeez on It’s Electric! today to discuss the parts and process of building his own rideable, and his motivations for doing so. From mobility and freedom to the lack of sweat they generate, personal electric transportation has perks! The guys also talk about the state of the world’s carbon dioxide levels, and what we could be doing on an individual level to help slow things down. Tune in for your weekly charge of EV entertainment and information!   What do you need to know to build an electric skateboard. Preferences in ride type, and why Chaz chose the components he did. Being a cyclist in London, and how a rideable experience differs. The global rate of carbon dioxide production, and what we could be doing about it.   “There’s a whole wide range of motors that exist” “It’s not the best feeling jumping into a meeting after cycling” “We should be moving away from fossil fuels as a fuel source for our homes”   More Rideables www.rideables.org   Want more Afeez?   Instagram https://instagram.com/afeezkay?utm_source=ig_profile_share&igshid=1b6o45rhy44lk YouTube https://www.youtube.com/user/afeezk Twitter https://twitter.com/Afeez_Kay   Interested in testing out an electric vehicle? https://www.teslarentals.co.uk/#rent

Michael, Nero and Andrew join Afeez on today’s episode of It’s Electric! Today’s topic? Should electric rideables be legalized, insured and registered? The guys have different points of view, and being up a ton of valid points both for and against registration, safety, and certifications! They also discuss their own circumstances, and uses for their rideables, and which way they think policy makers should go their decision making process. Should there be age limits? Should there be inspections? Should you be required to obtain a license? Listen in as they create their own policies right here on air, and find out which one of these fine gentlemen have been stopped by the police for riding their electric scooter!   EV Man’s perspective on whether or not they should be legal, insured and registered. Nero’s point of view on the subject of legalization and registration. Michael talks about multilevel certification and his views on legalization Afeez shares his own perspective on each topic and what he feels ridiculous about the entire thing   “Anything with a motor by its definition is a motor vehicle according to the government” “We can’t rely on common sense or parenting” “There’s a difference between an electric unicycle and a scooter”   More Rideables www.rideables.org   Want more Afeez?   Instagram https://instagram.com/afeezkay?utm_source=ig_profile_share&igshid=1b6o45rhy44lk YouTube https://www.youtube.com/user/afeezk Twitter https://twitter.com/Afeez_Kay   Interested in testing out an electric vehicle? https://www.teslarentals.co.uk/#rent

It’s Electric! has been in heavy discussions lately about Personal Electric Transportation and the policies that govern them. In this week’s episode, Afeez is joined by Terenig Topjian to talk about how the laws being considered makes sense, how they don’t, and how they could be improved upon. He also stresses the importance of basing policy on actually data, and why using existing bike laws as a precedent may not be such a bad idea.   What rideable policy concerns and voter ID laws have in common Do we even have a safety problem? Are bike laws applicable for rideables? Should we be measuring power or speed for regulatory purposes? Show us the data!   “Are we applying car logic to this problem?” “When you pass a law, it’s usually because there is a problem and you want to address it” “Why are we comparing these things to cars? We should be comparing them to bicycles” “Speed is what dictates safety and danger” “Mobility should be a human right”   More Rideables www.rideables.org   Want more Afeez?   Instagram https://instagram.com/afeezkay?utm_source=ig_profile_share&igshid=1b6o45rhy44lk YouTube https://www.youtube.com/user/afeezk Twitter https://twitter.com/Afeez_Kay   Interested in testing out an electric vehicle? https://www.teslarentals.co.uk/#rent

Welcome to It’s Electric! with Afeez Kay. This week, we’re welcoming the extremely creative Michael Quintana onto the show to talk about electric unicycles. They weren’t always the beautiful works of art they are today. Once upon a time they were clunky and felt more like a gimmick than a viable means of transportation. But in modern times, these personal electric vehicles are serious business. They save people money, help with the congestion issues in major city centres, and even put the riders in a better mood for the rest of the day (and who doesn’t want to be in a better mood?). As they grow in popularity, the policy creators and lawmakers are finding themselves uneducated and behind the times, and as a result, they’re holding back progress that could be made in making our world a cleaner and better place. Today Afeez and Michael geek out about their favourite models, the benefits of riding, and what needs to change to make the experience a better one.   How Michael found Electric Vehicles, more importantly the Electric unicycle. The most important feature of the Z10. Why training on the grass is a (somewhat) good idea. Why don’t Electric unicycles make sense to lawmakers and policy creators? The huge benefits of using a rideable EV, and the comparisons between life with them and life with cars. Why banning personal electric vehicles is the wrong move completely.   “It’s not that you don’t want the exercise, but you don’t want to get to work hot and sweaty” “This can actually expand the gap and actually be the whole mile” “It’s, hand down, the best looking wheel on the planet right now” “Weather changes the game. Even road surface changes the game.” “People automatically assume it’s dangerous” “You’re not going to ban feet because someone walked into traffic, are you?”   More Rideables www.rideables.org   Want more Afeez?

Jean Jose Garcia Monila joins Afeez on today’s episode of It’s Electric! to discuss legislation in Ireland, and how it impacts the use of rideable electric vehicles. With more electric scooters, skateboards and unicycles hitting the streets, it’s obvious that people are noticing the positive change they can make. The problem is that with their growing popularity, it’s becoming more difficult to navigate the laws surrounding them. In some countries see them as toys, rather than motorized vehicles, they are barely regulated at all. Other countries have made them completely illegal, making it impossible to drive them without a plate and insurance, which is impossible to get presently. Police are beginning to crack down on riders, and the punishments seem small for now, but what are the possible ramifications? Why are law-makers impeding progress? How can we make the use of rideables not only legal, but completely safe in the eyes of the government and the general public? All of this and more will be discussed right here on this episode of It’s Electric!   Challenges for rideable users in Ireland, vehicles are being seized by police What are the alternatives? What is being done to legalize electric  rideable vehicles?   “These vehicles are not toys, they are actually a viable means of transportation that can help reduce air pollution and congestion” “Lately they have been cracking down” “Electric rideables are the cleanest option right now besides walking and biking”   eRIDE! http://eride.ie   More Rideables www.rideables.org Want more Afeez?   Instagram https://instagram.com/afeezkay?utm_source=ig_profile_share&igshid=1b6o45rhy44lk YouTube https://www.youtube.com/user/afeezk Twitter https://twitter.com/Afeez_Kay   Interested in testing out an electric vehicle? https://www.teslarentals.co.uk/#rent

Pete got into EV’s after having a Eureka! moment. Shortly after, he closed down all of his companies, took every last dime he had, and started researching and investing in Electric Vehicle knowledge and information about charge points. That’s when Zero EV Ltd was born, and it has grown into a substantial company since. Pete’s outlook on business is simple: provide people with options, and information, and they will choose what’s right for them. In this episode, Pete and Afeez discuss which charge points Pete would purchase and install for personal use, how grants and incentives actually work, and what needs to happen in order to persuade more potential EV drivers to make the switch. Pete also shares that although Electric Vehicles are growing in popularity, there are still things that can be improved along the way.   People who want EV’s are already convinced, they just need to know which product is best for them Initiating change by giving people options Which grants exist and how they work Which 3 charge points would Pete choose?   “When you actually see them around, it’s actually too late. You have to see it before it comes” “Not everybody's ready for this. They never will be. You can’t convince somebody against their will” “For the uptake of Electric Vehicles to increase substantially, you need a better infrastructure” More Pete!

But currently, he is not getting paid for any of this. He gives purely to provide accurate information about the vehicles. Countries that are doing well in EV (electric vehicle) adoption according to Afeez: Norway Denmark Finland Iceland Sweden Greenland Scotland China Countries that are performing poorly: United States The political landscape appears to be more important than the actual landscape/clean energy Afeez branches out talking about some countries false assumption that electric vehicle means electric cars. There are many types of electric vehicles: Electric moped Electric scooters Electric motorcycles Electric unicycles Public transportation (converted) Stan asks Afeez other than Tesla, what companies are up and coming? KIA Hyundai LG Afeez and Stan weigh in on where Tesla is headed with a tiny discussion about Elon Musk Tesla made a mistake releasing model X Diverted attention Spent too much time Tesla is a pioneer Should focus on clean energy generation internationally Discussion of Tesla v SpaceX Manufacturer Concerns Can only buy parts from Tesla Can only be serviced by Tesla Sustaining their mission statement means eventually they will have to make these items available to other retailers for the public. Similar to Apple Money notwithstanding, what cars would Afeez convert to electric? BMW 33i 346 Toyota Supra “There are a lot of people that are more knowledgeable than me. I want to get that knowledge and use It’s Electric as a vehicle to share.” “Views on YouTube will always be more than what you get for the podcast.” “Telsa is the first American car company in over a hundred years to succeed.” “Tesla is the reason I got into this. I can’t truly criticize Tesla.” “I am bored by Tesla cars,[Tesla motors] but fascinated by Tesla energy.” “Have to stop treating people like they’re dummies.” “Car conversion is the best way.” “This is a huge market.”   Want more Afeez?

Welcome to It’s Electric hosted by Afeez Kay - the most flavorful and exciting podcast around all about electric cars. Afeez’s passion for these types of vehicles springs forward into a life of its own through your speakers. This guy really knows what he’s talking about. Having owned several different makes and models he has a well-rounded knowledge on what makes a good or not so good electric car. With Afeez you’ll never be bored and you’ll always come away with more knowledge than when you started.   In this episode, Afeez welcomes National Health Systems (NHS - UK) Performance Consultant Jassem Ahmed to the show. Jas tells he become interested in electric unicycles/cars while looking for a different way to commute to work in London. He saw a video of Afeez online with a Ninebot and which caused him to fall into a dark YouTube rabbit hole of video after video about electric unicycle/car(s). Not convinced that he needed an electric unicycle, Jas purchased and a electric scooter and was dissatisfied with it’s performance. It did not satiate his hunger for a good alternative to taking the train to work. Why? Poor maneuverability Weight Speed Power Convenience of carry   Jas explained that he found a Facebook group and recognized Afeez as an administrator. Luckily, Afeez offered Jassem the experience of trying out the cycle and training with him personally. He tells a funny story about standing in his living room practicing leaning forward and backward “looking like Michael Jackson”. Quickly he realized that it takes a lot of muscle from different muscle groups to operate the vehicle efficiently. The cost, convenience, and of an actual car was not worth it. The only downside is that it is a personal vehicle; you can’t bring people with you or go on big shopping trips.   Jassem talks about different phone applications and companies that can be used for mobility around the city of London. Turo: No gas cost No charging cost No insurance cost No cost while parked   ZipCar Flex (All electric) r: Good for hourly needs Specific pick up and drop off locations Cheaper than a cab   Drivey: Rent out your car Unlock with phone Gas sensor Covered by insurance Book for twenty-four hours Must pay for gas Lime: Scooters Bicycles Get paid to charge before returning   Are personal cars necessary any more? Maybe not because of car sharing, but some places do not allow these businesses. So the world isn’t to the point that we can eliminate cars quite yet.   Jassem tells a funny story about the police officer speeding up to point at the wheel he was driving.   Afeez and Jas talk about how electric vehicles aren’t currently governed in the UK. There is no law on the age of a person purchasing them. There are no laws on helmets, pads, lighting and other important things regarding their use. When Jas talks about opening up his own shop, he says he would not sell to minors. Afeez agrees it’s important that these vehicles be governed and he thinks that the governing body could go far by involving people like himself in that process.  Afeez and Jas discuss what they think should be required: Helmet Highly visible jacket Safety gear license/training “Using any rideable causes a change in your lifestyle.” “Rideables are fun!” “We’re still in an archaic fossil fuel era.” “Laws are man-made and based on a particular timeframe.” “[As a rider] what legislation do you think should be in place?”   Afeez's Facebook Profile Afeez YouTube Channel It's Electric Facebook Profile Jassem's LinkedIn Profile
