This week Oliver interviews Grace Rink, Chief Climate Officer for the City and County of Denver. Grace leads the Office of Climate Action, Sustainability, and Resiliency. She's more well known in micromobility as the head of the Denver e-bike subsidy programme, which has captured the imagination of regulators all over the world with the latest program iterations selling out in mere minutes. Today we talk about how she ended up in Denver, why the programme was formed and it's objectives and the implications of what they're finding. This felt like an important interview. We think that subsidies and government support are something that micromobility has traditionally eschewed in favour of just doing it, but there are more and more cities, states, and countries around the world realising that the bang for the buck on these vehicles are substantially higher than they'd be for the other transport climate policies. They talk through the newly launched subsidy tracker that Micromobility Industries has just launched which tracks all subsidies for E-bikes, scooters and more globally. We're very excited about it - and think that it'll be an important tool going forward. Oliver and Grace also run through other schemes of government support for end consumers looking to use micromobility and how to make micromobility support non-partisan. If you're a policymaker who is looking into this, welcome - We hope that you enjoy this, and that this conversation inspires you to push for a similar policy in your jurisdiction. If you have the desire to develop better materials for you on how to best do this and that we can host, please reach out to our team - we'd love to hear from you. Specifically they tackle: - How is the subsidy funded? - Why pick this? What are the motivation/outcome objectives? - “The city reported that the e-bikes purchased as part of the program were ridden 26 miles (42 km) per week on average, and replaced 3.4 car trips each week.” Does the city calculate trips? - How do you balance action and resiliency? - Which companies benefit the most from this?

This week Oliver interviews Melinda Hansen, founder of consulting firm Brightside and formerly the head of sustainability at Bird. They talk about the recent spate of Micromobility/ebike battery fires in New York and the response there as well as the wider conversation about equitable transport options, from her work with the equitable commute project. Like we've discussed many times on the show, we think that there is a real opportunity for Micromobility to contribute to the conversation. We really love Melinda‘s take on the whole space – she has a wealth of industry knowledge and is in New York with the legislators having the grunty conversations that will help lead the industry forward. Really hope that you enjoy this episode as we did. Specifically they tackle: - The E-bike fires for the Micromobility Podcast and know that you've been doing some advocacy in this space. - The work on transport equity she has been doing - How she is working to better aggregate and lobby for ebike subsidies at MMI. - How micromobility companies can play a more active role in getting streets ready for smaller vehicles.

This week Oliver interviews Rickard Bröms from Sweden, who is the founder of Vässla, who won the Rider Choice Award at the recent 2023 Micromobility Riders Awards for best subscription company. We've been following along with what they've been doing for a while and really love the new pedal Ebike that they are bringing out, along with the standard throttle bike and moped that they've been offering. They have really nailed the subscription services for micromobility, lowering the barriers to entry. We really loved the conversation with Rickard - he's very mission-driven. We're really looking forward to watching them in the future Specifically they talk about: - The early origins of Vässla with e-moped and throttle bikes, and now their pedal e-bikes. - How they've sold around 5000 mopeds - beating the global market leader NIU - in Sweden and sell them in Berlin too. - How they've thought about Vässla Club, their subscription business - what was the insight, and what did it require from them to pivot into this - How they do their manufacturing - Their funding journey for early moped and into developing an ebike and subscription Catch us on Twitter.

The duel between the Horatii brothers and the Curiatii brothers seemed to settle the Roman-Alban dispute and give Rome authority over Alba. But wily Mettius Fufetius has a trick or two up his sleeve. Meanwhile, the one surviving Horatius brother strikes down his sister in cold blood, an incident Jacques-Louis David drew but never ended up painting. The civilized three-on-three duel now threatens to give way to an all-out war of extermination between Rome and Alba. This is the sixth episode of "No Republic Was Ever Greater," a podcast series examining the rise of the Roman Empire through the work of Livy and Machiavelli. Livy's Ab Urbe Condita: https://amzn.to/3gYwtbhMachiavelli's Discourses on Livy: https://amzn.to/3NtNBSjFustel de Coulanges's La Cité Antique (French): https://amzn.to/3yzATuZFustel de Coulanges's The Ancient City (English): https://bookshop.org/a/25626/9780648690542Jacques-Louis David's Oath of the Horatii: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oath_of_the_HoratiiNicolas Poussin's Rape of the Sabine Women: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Rape_of_the_Sabine_Women#/media/File:L'Enl%C3%A8vement_des_Sabines_%E2%80%93_Nicolas_Poussin_%E2%80%93_Mus%C3%A9e_du_Louvre,_INV_7290_%E2%80%93_Q3110586.jpgArlette Clavet's Unpublished Studies for 'The Oath of the Horatii': https://www.jstor.org/stable/1552932Corneille's Horace: https://amzn.to/41zF1IyNew Humanists is brought to you by the Ancient Language Institute: https://ancientlanguage.com/Links may have referral codes, which earn us a commission at no additional cost to you.

This week we are releasing another talk from our recent Micromobility World - this one with Matthew Yglesias, pioneering political blogger and self-described "ebike dad," on why electric bikes and other small vehicles offer a compelling alternative to the solve the urban mobility dilemma. Matt has a wealth of knowledge about the interplay of politics, Transport and land use and Julia is an excellent host to ask him about it. This was a really compelling and interesting 50 minutes. We hope you enjoy it! They dig into: - His journey to be an ‘e-bike dad' - and a big proponent of electric bikes - The intersection between transport and built urban form - and the overhang of cars. - How people are now getting used to taking the vehicles that are appropriate to the trips - The divide between privately owned and shared systems, and how land use rules interplay with those decisions. - The regulatory drivers helping and hindering EVs and micromobility - The subsidy question - needed or not? - Why he thinks SoCal should be ground zero for a micromobility first city - The importance of making micromobility a positive, accessible brand rather than making it snobby or a ‘poverty option' - The importance of allowing the built environment to innovate to new mobility options. - What should micromobility advocates do to help drive change. - Americans are typically pro-growth, opportunity and innovation. How can those attitudes be harnessed for micromobility, and transcend the left/right divide. Follow Matthew on Twitter and on LinkedIn. And now, here is Matt and Julia. Catch us on Twitter.

This week on the podcast, we welcome back Horace for the first time in a while, to discuss the recent Mastodon storm on Apple's fabled car efforts and why they may fail, especially in the face of smaller, more modular vehicle solutions. We've linked to it below, but as quick context, the overall arc is that cars have a very long development and use lifespan, and that computers, the thing that Apple is best at, have far shorter timespans, and that there's a mismatch there around how these two dynamics would interplay. As we've talked about a lot here on the podcast, "the faster it goes, the slower it goes”. In recent years, the trend towards micromobility has been exploding. Our thesis is that smaller electric vehicles, like electric bikes and scooters, are more adaptable and can be developed and evolved at a much faster pace than larger vehicles like cars. The shorter development timeframes and lifespans of micromobility vehicles means that they can be more quickly adapted to changing market trends and consumer preferences, and can stay ahead of the curve in terms of technological advancements. Specifically they tackle: -The potential of micromobility -The challenges facing Apple's car efforts -The role of smaller, more modular vehicle solutions in shaping the future of the automotive industry.

SPECIAL EPISODE. We were so happy with Special Correspondent Drew Smith's rich and powerful interview with Horace Dediu, we wanted to share an episode featuring their complete conversation. Drew Smith sat down for an hour-plus interview with Horace Dediu, the ‘father' of micromobility - Horace coined the word! - exploring its origins and future. Along the way, Horace offers a blistering critique of the failure of the automotive sector to embody the new design possibilities offered by micromobility: transportation choice in our urban centres, and a powerful framework to rethink our transportation networks and cities.  The Next Billion Cars is proudly made possible by our sponsors GIO Insurance and BMW.

This week Oliver interviews Levi Conlow who is the founder of Lectric Ebikes. This really is one of the most incredible stories of Micromobility in the last few years. Back in 2019 when they were just starting out, they started with an Ebike that they struggled to sell and no-one wanted to buy. Last year they had the most popular model of a bike in America shipping over 150,000 units, all while being profitable. It's stories like this that we love from Micromobility – companies that have really just nailed the product market fit by focusing on the bits that people love - cost and convenience. We love this conversation – Levi is an incredibly impressive founder who is hyper focused on the job the customers are trying to do – in this case selling Ebikes to people with RV's direct to consumers, and really just nailing that experience. We really hope you enjoy this conversation as much as we did. Specifically they tackled: - The background to Levi's involvement in the industry including his first venture in electric skateboards - The formation of Lectric including early funding and their failures - The explosive growth through the pandemic - The specific things that Levi focusses on for the customer that have been most valuable - How they think of value engineering and quality - Their marketing strategy, including how powerful the You Tube influencers are in driving sales - The new bikes they have coming out, including the announcement of their insanely specced and priced new cargo bike, the XPedition. - Tariffs and macro conditions and how they've navigated them - What he's excited about in the future - Their D2C strategy and what that has enabled for them Check out the Lectric website right here And with that, here's Levi!

This week we are releasing another episode from the Micromobility world catalogue – this one is a conversation between Gabe Klein, the first person to head the newly formed Joint Office of Energy and Transportation, and Julia Thayne, our Micromobility world Cohost. Gabes' job is to break down barriers to electrifying transportation. We've had him on the podcast before for episode 122 for what was one of the top episodes of the year. Before he took his current role, he has held a number of really interesting roles as a Zipcar exec and chief of the Washington DC and Chicago DOTs. He joins Julia to discuss the role small electric vehicles can play in America's EV transformation. He's a self confessed ebike nut and it was awesome to have him join to talk micromobility. Learn more about Gabe and what he does, via his website here In this episode they tackle: - The new role that Gabe has taken on and what it's scope is - How he thinks about micromobility in the overall scope of electrification of transport in the US and the role that it can play - The lack of ebike subsidy that was in the IRA, and what other programmes are doing to support their adoption - The role of government in rolling out electrification of transport And with that, here's Gabe and Julia.

Middle Grade Author PJ Gardner joins Queries, Qualms, & Quirks this week to discuss coming to writing late in life, how querying is like boxing, writing as a calling, how promoting for MG is different from promoting for YA, querying with old data, taking big risks but expecting safe results, and how the success goalposts always move. PJ Gardner has never met a talking animal, but that hasn't stopped her from writing about them. She's the author of the middle grade Horace & Bunwinkle series and her next book, The Great Zoodini comes out in early 2024. She lives in Southern California with her husband and sons, and their Boston Terriers, Rosie and Rocky. She also writes under the name PJ Switzer.

This week we're releasing another interview from Oliver's tour of micromobility companies in Southern California. This episode is with LeGrand Crewse, founder of Super73, on the growth of his very distinctive brand. Ever since Oliver first saw the first image of the electrified mini taco bike, he thought that Super73 were on to something - they clearly understood what electrification buys you in terms of bike design, and they had focused on knobbly tyres, aesthetics and the likelihood that riders would end up using the throttle over really peddling to create something that was a substantial departure from anything we'd really seen in popular bike design before - most companies just electrified the existing form factors that they'd been making. So, it was awesome to sit down with LeGrand and talk about the history and where things are going for the company, including its expansion into motorbikes. Also, we didn't really discuss it, but Oliver got to test ride their kids bike afterwards too, and that thing is going to sell like hotcakes. It's built super tough and has an adult mode meaning that adults can ride it as well - check out Oliver's SoCal tour write up on Twitter for a video of him checking it out. Specifically they tackle: - The history of Super73 - How the company has grown over time - Funding and how they have thought about it - Why they chose to raise less than their competitors - The new motorbikes and the impact that they will have on servicing and maintenance Take a closer look at Super73 on their website And with that, here's LeGrand!

In this episode Casey and Wynn interview co-founder of The DSTRKT Horace Wormely, a basketball centric foundation based in Chatsworth, California whose professional basketball career alone extended over six continents for twelve seasons. While only 5' 7” tall, Horace shares how his height in the game was seen as nothing more than advantageous through out his career as a pro. In addition he reflects on how the game of basketball prepares him as a global thinker and a seasoned entrepreneur and how the game of basketball prepared him to compete at an elite level in business and the game of life.

In episode three of Faculty Spotlight, Lauren K. Wolfe and Mark DeLucas interview BISR classicist Bruce King. The three discuss: what brought Bruce to the classics; the charisma of his teachers (and the poverty of their ideas); queering the canon; the trouble with the Odyssey; coming to love Latin (and why he's keeping Horace to himself); learning Sanskrit with friends; BISR's new Language Learning and Critique program; and Bruce's favorite non-ancient things—from Henry James to Claude Lévi-Strauss to La Monte Young's "Pythagorean" Dream House.

This week we're excited to bring you an interview from Oliver's recent tour of Southern California ahead of our Micromobility World online event. Oliver flew up from NZ to be with James, Julia and the team to produce the event but while he was there also took the chance to visit a whole heap of companies working in micromobility, either as vehicle makers or peripherally. He learnt a huge amount - especially from those who have been in the industry for a while. Benno Baenziger is an OG of the bike space, founding Electra Bikes back in 1993 as a recent immigrant to California from Germany and growing it through the 90s and 2000s till he sold it to a private equity group in 2008. He stuck around but eventually left to start Benno bikes in 2015 with a focus on what electric can bring to the bike industry. There's a few things that you should know about Benno. Firstly, the company has less than 10 employees. He has really understood the bike industry and what makes for great bikes so focusses on the very specific points that he has as a designer to make great bikes and leaves the rest to others, a very different strategy to other companies in this space like Vanmoof or Cowboy who have chosen to eschew the old bike industry and try and do it themselves. Secondly, he's profitable with no outside funding beyond what capital he put in himself. Like the conversation with Josh Hon from Tern, Oliver learns so much about how the world works with experiences like this. It is an honour to bring you material like this and we hope that we get to do more of the tours - it's always better to do these interviews in person! Finally, Micromobility World went great. It was one of our largest events to dates and We had a lot of really excellent content come out of it, the relevant ones of which we will drop as podcasts soon. And here's Benno! Specifically they tackle: - His background founding Electra Bikes and then moving on - Why, despite him saying that he'd not do another bike business, Benno Bikes exists - What is ‘etility' and what does it offer to the customer - Why he's chosen to go a more traditional route for componentry and servicing - How he has managed to self fund the company to date - The importance of design and quality in a brand Catch us on Twitter.

In Detroit, 1895, Dr. Horace Pope was found brutally murdered with an axe. There were three people home besides the victim: his wife, Nellie Pope, his daughter, Bernice, and Nellie's nurse, William Brusseau. William confesses, claiming self-defense, but days later changes his entire story to pin the blame on Nellie. Nellie is immediately painted as an evil, vile woman who controlled both men in her life with a cool gaze and a strong word. Is Nellie really the evil human the press paints her to be or is William's need for self-preservation spinning a web of lies?

This week, Oliver interviews Dong Tran, founder of Ryvid, who make electric motorbikes in California. We've not covered heaps of motorbikes on the show so far, but that's changing and we will have a bunch more next year. There's a few really interesting things about Ryvid... Firstly, they've got a pretty unique new metal folding technique for frame design which, if you listen to Horace and how he talks about how manufacturing techniques dictate how products evolve, has a lot of potential in offering lower cost, more innovative vehicle designs and companies. Secondly, they're about to go into production with only around $1m raised, and Thirdly, they've just been the recipients of a $20m calcompete grant in California, which is one of the largest grants that we've ever seen given to a Micromobility company. We really like Dong and his attitude, and it's a pleasure to be able to bring you this conversation. Specifically they tackle The background to Ryvid The vehicle - The Anthem What they're building - vehicles, battery systems etc Why they have chosen folded metal frames vs. more traditional frame systems and the impact of that on the bike How they have funded the company - equity, grants What Dong is excited about in the industry going forward And with that, here's Dong!!

It's a stormy night somewhere in Wales, and three travelers are having a rough go of it: married couple Phillip and Margaret Waverton, and their passenger in the back seat, the dapper Penderel. That's when they come upon a house, which is, shockingly, old… and dark. They manage to gain entrance after convincing the mute, lumbering butler, Morgan, that they are indeed in distress, and are soon greeted by the house's main occupants, the elderly Femms, Horace and his hard of hearing sister Rebecca. The Femms offer the travelers supper, but as the sternly religious Rebecca finds it inappropriate, no beds. As they sit down to eat a meal of meat and potatoes, two more travelers burst in – the jolly Sir William Porterhouse and his personal companion, Gladys Duquesne. Or is it Perkins? As the evening wends from dinner to conversation to an interest in the rest of the house, things take a turn for the weird, and soon, all are ensnared in a trap – not just to make it through the storm, but to get out of the house alive.

This week Oliver interviews Robin Eriksson from Cogo app which is the largest shared micromobility aggregator in Europe. Horace and Oliver have long had a theory that the world of micromobility will mature to be more like the public transport or airline industry over time. So it's no surprise to us to see the rise of Cogo, which allows for discovery to be handled in a single app for all micromobility providers in a city. We were excited to hear that they've recently added payments, and so wanted to have them on to run through their growth and where they think the marketplace for mobility is going. We really enjoyed this conversation with Robin - he's super smart and has clearly navigated through the challenges to build a product that we're really excited to use when next in Europe. Specifically they tackle: The origins of Cogo with Robin's background in flight aggregators The rise of shared micromobility services and the use cases for having all mobility options in an app. The maturation of the shared micro business model and why now is the time for aggregation to occur Facilitating payments in the app, and regulatory barriers/opportunities for growth Who Robin sees as competition in this space Learn more about Cogo App on their website.

As we tick over from 2022 to 2023 we wanted to reshare our most popular episode from 2022. Our recent Spotify Wrapped and general analytics we get from our podcast platform gave us a few really cool stats about the podcast. We're in the top 5% of followed and shared podcasts shared globally, with listeners from 61 countries and the majority of you being new listeners who only found us in the last year. Exciting times! We're excited to rerelease what was our most listened to episode from 2022. What is Micromobility and Why does it matter (2022 edition) that Horace and Oliver recorded at Micromobility Europe in June. We do these every so often as a recap of the thesis about why lightweight electric vehicles are interesting - cheap, best suited to the majority of trips that most people take and as vehicles, fast to evolve - and what micro therefore offers to the transport and decarbonisation conversation. In this episode we discuss what we got right back in 2018 when we started this podcast, what we were hoping to see that is either starting to happen or now common place, and what we got wrong. Specifically they tackle: Where the insight for micromobility came from The core tenets of what it is Electric, lightweight, utility Why it matters including how the world is urbanising, how we need to radically reduce emissions per vehicle, how most trips are short trips and how small vehicles evolve faster than small vehicles etc. Why it is significant to transport systems in terms of enabling point to point transport in dense urban areas What we got wrong in the last four years Right before we head off to this. we wanted to also suggest that you check out the Rider Choice awards. These are the Oscars of the micromobility world ahead of Micromobility World on the 19th of Jan. We've just shifted to the semi-final rounds for many of the categories, and we're excited to see which brands are considered the most popular whether it's your favourite scooter, ebike, shared service or more - with tens of thousands of votes already in, be sure to not miss out.

This week Oliver interviews Danny Kim from Lit Motors. Danny is an OG of the micromobility space. He was thinking about the impact of electric and what it'd enable in vehicle architectures well before pretty much anybody else, evidenced by both the Kubo and their C1. The C1 is an enclosed gyro balanced electric motorbike that in our view has amazing potential in terms of providing something that is as performance, weather protection and safety of a car, but in the package of a motorbike. We think that what Lit motors are trying to build is not without very substantial risks but has the potential to be a real game changer in the conversation in urban mobility if they manage. It would be remiss not to note that Lit Motors has a storied history, to say the least. A quick scan of their Wikipedia page certainly makes that clear - like Oliver, there are a bunch of people who did put in pre-orders back in 2012 and 2013 that haven't seen a vehicle. But after meeting Danny and learning more about both his journey and also what technical issues they've managed to work through we are more excited than ever for the potential future of having lots of these crazy amazing vehicles zooming around our cities. We love bold founders who show incredible tenacity and grit in building something as bold as this. Full disclosure, as mentioned in this episode, Oliver recently invested in Lit Motors on the basis of their team and technology. None of this should be construed as financial advice, and we are VERY aware that it was an insanely risky investment, but like Marc Randolph, the founder of Netflix said in a recent tweet storm, there are some times when you just want to have a seat in the arena to watch the journey, and to cheer on those crazy enough to try and build a better world. Danny is, in our mind, one of those. Specifically they dig into: - The early days of Lit Motors - The promise and potential of gyro-balacing technology in car/vehicles - Danny's accident in 2015 and the impact of that - The team he's built - The plan for the next few years - The addressable market and implications of these vehicles if they work. Right before we head off to this. we wanted to also suggest that you check out the Rider Choice awards. These are the Oscars of the micromobility world ahead of Micromobility World on the 19th of Jan.

This week Oliver interviews David Hansen from Weel Bike based in Seattle. Oliver has known David since the early days of Micromobility Industries, and indeed, Weel was one of the companies that the Microbility VC syndicate invested in back in 2019 when we were running it, so full disclosure, Oliver does have some skin in the game. We love what they're doing - they really have taken to heart what Horace talked about early on with the concept of what a smartphone on wheels would look like, rather than being a bike with phone bits stuck on. With the company about to ship bikes in Q1 next year, We wanted to bring David on to discuss their product but also their philosophy and what makes their vehicle different to any other bikes in the space. It's a bold strategy, but I'm excited to see what conversations it'll provoke about what a bike is or should be. Specifically they tackle David's background and how you and Justin got into building crazy e-bikes that ride themselves What software the bike offers Where they're at with Weel in terms of development/funding/etc The route to market Why no incumbents would be crazy enough to build this themselves What David sees as the future of ‘bikes' Learn more about David here.

In today's festive episode, Phil and Laura focus on Horace Pippin's 'Christmas Morning, Breakfast' and the fascinating story of one of America's foremost black artists...

This week Oliver got to interview Josh Hon from Tern bikes. If you've not come across the Tern brand before, they're now a mid-size bike company, but have really found a strong niche providing high quality utility bikes like their best selling mid-drive short tail compact cargo bike the GSD. Tern is different from a lot of the other micromobility companies that we've had on the Micromobility Podcast in that it's definitely more of a traditional bike company, using bike shops etc to sell and service their bikes in what has now grown to be 61 countries. They also pass over it relatively quickly in this episode, but Tern is an amazing story in that Josh has raised only around 6m in funding to date. We really valued Josh's humility and perspective as someone who has been around the bike industry for a really long time, especially on his insights into Taiwan and what does/doesn't work there. We are really looking forward to future discussions with him. Specifically they tackle: Josh's personal history and how he came to start Tern The current range - what's notable right now How they've raised capital and built their team Building in Taiwan - what should people know about what they've done Also, if you haven't already, please be sure to check out our Rider Choice Awards - the Oscars of the micromobility world. Voting is open now ahead of Micromobility World on the 19th of January. We're excited to see which brands are considered the most popular whether it's your favourite scooter, ebike, shared service or more - with tens of thousands of votes already in, be sure to not miss out.

RAD is the largest maker of the bikes in the US and this is a conversation we have wanted to have for a really long time.  They discuss the new bike that they have just unveiled (skip ahead to around minute 13 if you want to know more about that!) They've been so excited to let you know about what is happening! Besides that, they also talk all about how he got to starting the company, the vehicles that he's built and why he still sees micro as such an exciting and interesting space. They also get into what he's up to next now that RAD has brought on Phil Molyneux as CEO last month. This was also published as a YouTube interview complete with video here: https://youtu.be/u1_H3kSdSl0 Also, for a further take on everything RAD, head to our YouTube Channel for an shorter interview at Micromobility America with Mike earlier this year (https://youtu.be/EJnH8ie-x9k) Specifically they dig into: - Rad Power Bikes, how it started and where they are at now. - D2C, and why they chose that model and how they think about servicing - RAD has the largest marketing budget of the industry. What's been effective in this space? What are the biggest barriers in a D2C marketplace? - Mike has recently stepped down as CEO, what is he now focusing on? - The double standard about ebikes vs other vehicles. - The RadTrike - RAD has always been known for two wheels so why the move to three, and why it's been their most requested bike ever.

Today, Ryan presents a selection of Horace's ideas in the second half of the “The Search For the Good Life” chapter in the How to Be Content installment of Princeton University Press's Ancient Wisdom for Modern Readers series, translated by Stephen Harrison.✉️ Sign up for the Daily Stoic email: https://dailystoic.com/dailyemailCheck out the Daily Stoic Store for Stoic inspired products, signed books, and more.
