Afeez has a fanboy moment on todayâs episode of It's Electric! Chris Yin joins him today to have a heavy discussion about rideables, more specifically EUCâs! The guys get into a huge talk about everything from policy and education, to which EUCâs 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 Chrisâ 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?âEvery wheel has a different physics, every wheel has a different comfort to itâ
âAs soon as a new wheel comes out I get kind of a cravingâ
âI just want to experience as much as possibleâ
âPeople kind of have a knee-jerk reaction against trainingâ
âI always start with a wheel, any wheel, with a lack of trustâ
âThereâs no perfect EUC companyâ
âYou need to be able to fix your wheel because youâre not going to have a shopâ

Michael, Nero and Andrew join Afeez on todayâs episode of Itâs Electric! Todayâs 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 Manâs perspective on whether or not they should be legal, insured and registered. Neroâs 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 thingâAnything with a motor by its definition is a motor vehicle according to the governmentâ
âWe canât rely on common sense or parentingâ
âThereâs a difference between an electric unicycle and a scooterâ

Itâs Electric! has been in heavy discussions lately about Personal Electric Transportation and the policies that govern them. In this weekâs episode, Afeez is joined by Terenig Topjian to talk about how the laws being considered makes sense, how they donât, 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!âAre we applying car logic to this problem?â
âWhen you pass a law, itâs usually because there is a problem and you want to address itâ
âWhy are we comparing these things to cars? We should be comparing them to bicyclesâ
âSpeed is what dictates safety and dangerâ
âMobility should be a human rightâ

Welcome to Itâs Electric! with Afeez Kay. This week, weâre welcoming the extremely creative Michael Quintana onto the show to talk about electric unicycles. They werenât 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 doesnât 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, theyâre 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 donât 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.âItâs not that you donât want the exercise, but you donât want to get to work hot and sweatyâ
âThis can actually expand the gap and actually be the whole mileâ
âItâs, hand down, the best looking wheel on the planet right nowâ
âWeather changes the game. Even road surface changes the game.â
âPeople automatically assume itâs dangerousâ
âYouâre not going to ban feet because someone walked into traffic, are you?â

Jean Jose Garcia Monila joins Afeez on todayâs episode of Itâs 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, itâs obvious that people are noticing the positive change they can make. The problem is that with their growing popularity, itâs 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 Itâs 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?âThese vehicles are not toys, they are actually a viable means of transportation that can help reduce air pollution and congestionâ
âLately they have been cracking downâ
âElectric rideables are the cleanest option right now besides walking and bikingâ

Pete got into EVâs 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. Thatâs when Zero EV Ltd was born, and it has grown into a substantial company since. Peteâs outlook on business is simple: provide people with options, and information, and they will choose whatâs 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 EVâs 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?âWhen you actually see them around, itâs actually too late. You have to see it before it comesâ
âNot everybody's ready for this. They never will be. You canât convince somebody against their willâ
âFor the uptake of Electric Vehicles to increase substantially, you need a better infrastructureâ

The Plug Seeker loved the PlugShare app so much that he added and updated every charger he could find throughout the UK over the span of 6 months. He has been a long time fan and advocate of electric cars, as well as EVâs at large, and he and Afeez have a blast addressing hilarious questions that theyâve had to answer during their electrification journey so far.
How The Plug Seeker was created When the Plug Seeker first met âAlfredâ the Electric Unicycle Man This is the future - weâre not geeks EVâs became cool and started to catch on Must give credit to Tesla and Mitsubishi âSelf charging hybridsâ Going down hill or braking from speed? You canât create energy from nowhere Super charging Expelling the myths surrounding electric vehicles Will the grid explode if we mass adopt electric cars? Fear, Uncertainty, Doubt, and the Fudsters
âWe are still in a bit of an electric car bubbleâ
âLess than 2% of national cars are EVâsâ
âI think itâs slowly taking offâ
âYou cannot generate energy from nowhereâ
âThe grid is going to have time to developâ
âThe more electric cars we have on the road the less energy we need to refine crude oil.â
âA lot of people, sad to say, believe everything they read. Itâs up to us to keep on pushing the truth.â

Welcome to the Itâs Electric podcast hosted by Afeez Kay. Each week Afeez features an amazing guest and discusses with them clean energy and electric vehicles. One of the amazing things about the Itâs Electric show is that it doesnât matter if youâre new to electric vehicles or if youâve been involved with the scene for years. The conversational tone doesnât turn anyone away. Afeez and his guests often discuss different brands, makes, and models of vehicles as well as the pros and cons for each. You can rest assured if youâre getting an opinion from Afeez, itâs not based on one or two rides.
In this episode, Afeez speaks with Aldous Hicks, C.E.O and founder of ReCircle Recycle and their marketer/communications liaison Stuart Chater. What is ReCircle Recycling?
Develop closed-loop recycling Indicates the a product can be recycled back into itself (see example below) Plastic bottle, can be recycled all the way back into a new bottle Same as many other recycled materials Open-loop recycling Indicates the item can be recycled into different types of products Plastic bottle turned into plastic tubing Benefit from recycling Knowing youâre doing the right thing Financial benefit Change the value we put on different products Recycling bins broken down very specifically - checked by sensors for purity Clear plastics Cloudy plastics Glass Aluminium Sustainability Financially/financial savings environmentally/energy An appliance for your kitchen About the size of dishwasher Top and bottom drawer Top - bay for PET HTP Plastics Green glass Brown glass Clear glass Metal cans Steel cans Simple product to use Appliance has been patented IncentiveâIf you can produce recyclable products in your kitchen, we are starting a viable business.â
âWe have a detailed plan to develop a prototype.â
âThis concept is not readily accepted by the mainstream.â
âThere is an incredible lack of knowledge around recycling.â

Welcome to the Itâs Electric podcast hosted by the brilliant and passionate Afeez Kay. Itâs Electric marries the fun of all different types of electric vehicles with the need for and purpose of clean energy. Through interviews with wonderful guests, Afeez discusses best and worst brands, riding experiences, the hows and the whys of the electric vehicle universe. Afeez is animated and honest. He also brings facts alongside fun. After one listens youâll be searching for your nearest electric car rental company. Lean, but donât out-lean, into the Itâs Electric podcast.
In this episode, Afeez brings Stan Durk back to the show. In the last episode featuring Stan, he was interviewing Afeez. This episode flips things, putting Stan in the hot seat. Stan gives us a brief introduction and discusses his blog called The Electric Speed Shop (linked below). He explains his goal is to open a conversion business. He explains there are a lot of these shops on the west coast and in the UK. He is on the east coast currently and the electric vehicle industry is taking off. Stan salvages old cars (fuel) and transitioning them into the electric motors.
Stans shares that he has an undergraduate degree in electrical engineering and a masters degree in engineering management. Stan says he was very interested in conversions and began researching, but there was no central location that housed several articles or videos on how-tos for conversion. This is what prompted him to create The Electric Speed Show blog.
This blog is a knowledge source for the masses. Afeez and Stan talk shop about electrification of a myriad of different types of vehicles.
Do-it-Yourself pricing:
Buying parts and trusting yourself to build Salvaged $25-30K Tested Charged Completely refurbished Paying for someone elseâs work to convert Standard $45-50K Custom $50-100KâElectric is so much easier to understand than a gas motor.â
â[Electric cars] have less moving parts.â
âWith conversion, you can keep older cars aliveâ
âIf it moves and uses an engine, thereâs no reason you canât make it electric.â
âThereâs more potential.â

In this episode, Afeez sits down and has a chat with James Wight. James is the founder and director of the company Adventure Uncovered which advocates for social and environmental changes. The connect people through articles, events, speeches, and traveling. âGreen Adventureâ is a niche. James explains that he has a background in marketing and communications. With Adventures Uncovered James hopes to achieve a more environmentally-minded society through sharing stories and hosting events encouraging people to get out and experience nature first hand. (This can often trigger society to care about nature more.) Afeez shares the story of how he and James met during a clean energy initiative they were both involved in, traveling in electric cars. He says they were preaching about electric transportation and difference sources of energy outside of fossil fuel.
The most common questions James get asked in regards to his industry:
How long does it take to charge the cars? Whatâs the range? What is the infrastructure? How do I make a difference? How do I get involved in Green travel Green energy Affecting the climate Reduce plastic pollutionWhat works? James says increase engagement with people through articles, speeches, and even film festivals. These types of things attract people and engage them. This kicks things off which then causes the follow through to change. James says Adventure Uncovered has a goal to open conversations for influential people to connect at live events and push the topic of renewable energy resources, energy efficiency, and going green in general forward.
James see the future as bright. He has a goal to scale sustainably and have more of an impact. Investment is the most important thing right now. Currently, they [Adventure Uncovered] are investing in themselves.
âTrying to bring more diversity and inclusion to this sort of privileged space.â
âWe want to inspire people, but also motivate them to take action.â
âTravel opens your mind to a lot of things. It dispells ignorance as well.â
âWe donât see the impact that our demand is making on the planet.â
âYou really opened up my mind and made me more conscious.â
âI want to go beyond electric cars into clean energy generation.â

Welcome to the Itâs Electric podcast hosted by the electrifying Afeez Kay. Electric vehicles are not a thing of the future. They are right now and only being built better as the years go forward. You can expect honest feedback from Afeez and his guests regarding different makes and models of a variety of different electric vehicles. Youâre not just getting a one-ride recommendation either! You will feel the passion that Afeez has for this topic as soon as he begins speaking. Youâll be thinking of getting rid of or rebuilding your conventional vehicle after one episode!
In this episode, you will hear the continuation of Stan Durkâs interview of Afeez. (Listen to part one here) Afeez tells Stan currently his podcast is just for fun and for the passion of electric vehicles and he has just started building his YouTube channel. 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 ChinaCountries that are performing poorly:
United States The political landscape appears to be more important than the actual landscape/clean energyAfeez 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 LGAfeez 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 AppleMoney notwithstanding, what cars would Afeez convert to electric?
BMW 33i 346 Toyota SupraâThere are a lot of people that are more knowledgeable than me. I want to get that knowledge and use Itâs Electric as a vehicle to share.â
âViews on YouTube will always be more than what you get for the podcast.â
âTelsa is the first American car company in over a hundred years to succeed.â
âTesla is the reason I got into this. I canât truly criticize Tesla.â
âI am bored by Tesla cars,[Tesla motors] but fascinated by Tesla energy.â
âHave to stop treating people like theyâre dummies.â
âCar conversion is the best way.â
âThis is a huge market.â
