119. UBCO Explains Their Low Impact Electric Adventure Bikes with Joey Pleich
In episode 119 of the Outdoor Minimalist podcast, we enter the biking world. I am an avid cyclist, mostly with gravel biking, so when I learned about electric adventure bikes, I raised my eyebrows a bit.
First of all, I didn’t know what they were.
Were they like e-bikes?
Are they electric motorcycles?
And they weren’t going to be good for the environments they’re used in, right?
Well, I was pleasantly surprised to learn that some electric adventure bikes set out to design a mode of transportation that can bring you deep into the backcountry with minimal impact.
To learn more about these bikes and how they’re taking the adventure vehicle world by storm, I had the pleasure of talking with Joey Pleich, Director of Brand Marketing for UBCO Electric Adventure Vehicles. With more and more of the outdoor space becoming electrified, we look to dive into how UBCO is leading the charge in fostering equitable solutions for moving recreation and work forward sustainably. Starting with their roots in NZ agriculture, we will speak with Joey on the evolution of UBCO’s core product, the 2x2, an AWD all-terrain electric adventure bike, and its many applications.
