In this episode of the Weekly Recharge, we break down a major announcement around semi solid-state battery technology that could bring faster charging, longer lifespan, improved cold weather performance, and increased safety compared to traditional lithium-ion systems. If these claims hold up, this could be one of the biggest upgrades e-bikes have seen in years.We also dive into a new bill in Massachusetts that aims to classify e-bikes and other micromobility devices by speed tiers. This could affect where different types of e-bikes are allowed to ride, introduce new restrictions, and reshape how states regulate everything from Class 1 bikes to higher-speed devices.🔍 In This Episode:- New semi solid-state battery tech explained- How it compares to current lithium-ion systems- Proposed e-bike speed tier laws and restrictions- What the new classifications could mean for riders- Bicycle light recalls and safety concerns- Industry updates and behind-the-scenes insightsIf you ride an e-bike—or are thinking about getting one—these updates could directly affect you.👕 Merch + Rider of the WeekRiders highlighted during the Rider of the Week section get a free T-shirt!
