Civilized Cycles Semi Trike : Revolutionizing Light Electric Cargo in the USA
Join Miss GoElectric and the founder of Civilized Cycles (Zach Schieffelin) as they examine and test beta examples of the upcoming SEMI TRIKE. This three wheeled eBike is set to revolutionize light electric cargo transportation in the USA.
Filmed at the @civilizedcycles277 workshop in Detroit, Michigan, this is an in depth look at the company's sophomore product. Crew members were actually test fitting parts to the beta fleet while we were filming! We are thrilled to be able to share this level of early access with all of you.

To learn a LOT more about Zach and his company, please watch our first interview with him filmed in Brooklyn in late 2023: ua-cam.com/video/gvM3p0j8Qgk/v-deo.html
Civilized Cycles' *first* product was the Model 1 luxury cargo and passenger eBike which we reviewed here.

    Awesome interview. I'm about 3 days away from purchasing an Outset. I love how Ryvid is so approachable and transparent and how their CEO is so creative while also being an engineer at the same time. I chose Ryvid over ICE bikes because of the overall convenience of EVs, and I'm relatively certain that battery technology is going to take a huge leap in the next 1-2 years. That being said, the Ryvid will be perfect for my 25-mile round trip commute to work on rural roadways and the occasional longer trip. I know Ryvid is targeting the urban rider, but this rural rider is excited to ride on this fantastic product. Nice interview.

Good luck with your electric car. Just don’t park it near your house unless you want your house to go up in flames. Oh, and don’t try to drive it more than a few hundred miles or you’ll be stranded in the middle of no where. And when the battery craps out in 5 years get ready to pay $30k for the replacement.

      You are entirely misinformed on every claim. Corrections: 1) gasoline and combustion vehicles are more heavily subsidized than electric vehicles 2) gasoline powered automobiles are 30x more likely to catch fire and 60x more likely to incinerate occupants 3) electricity is 100x more readily available than gasoline in the United States. An EV can charge on as any outlet from any building or light post. Getting stranded is far more likely in a gasoline powered vehicle. 4) all EV batteries are warrantied by law for at least eight years and 100,000 miles. In 16 states they are warrantied for 10 years and 150,000 miles by law. Today's EV batteries will have a service life of 20-40 years before they are recycled. Today's EVs will go 300,000-400,000 miles before being decommissioned. That is twice the service life of a typical combustion posted passenger vehicle. 5)The cost of a replacement battery for a 10 year old out-of-warranty Nissan LEAF EV is about $5,000...not $30,000 as you've claimed. Those prices drop every year. If you want to become educated, we've published hundreds of videos to help. -Producer Tim

      Advanced technology doesn't belong to any political party. Those who want the most power, speed, and reliability go electric. Those who want to pay higher operational costs, support foreign oil, deal with regular maintenance, and drive a vehicle with a shorter lifespan can choose 150 year old internal combustion technology instead. Politics has nothing to do with consumer choice. Capitalism, like nature itself, rewards wise and informed decision making. -Producer Tim

    Scouts and 1st generation Broncos are two of my all-time favorite vehicles. I love what the relaunched Scout has done. My only concern is timing. They really need to get these vehicles on the road ahead of 2027! At around $50K with incentives, I'd definitely buy one. I've been involved with Edison Motors in building the world's first extended range EV semi-truck (heavy-duty vocational truck, not over-the-road like Tesla Semi, etc.). Edison's platform consists of a pure electric drivetrain with e-axles powered by batteries that are charged on the go via a 9L diesel turning a generator. This is similar to Scout's Harvester range extender. It makes all the sense in the world when public DC fast charging infrastructure isn't convenient, such as when going off-road. I read in response that this was one of your more challenging videos to produce. You did a wonderful job. Keep up the great work.

    Yes, lithium batteries can be recycled, but the recycling rate is currently low: Recycling rate Only about 5% of lithium-ion batteries are recycled globally. Challenges Recycling lithium batteries is difficult and expensive because lithium is reactive and the process is complex. Benefits Recycling lithium batteries can recover valuable materials like lithium, cobalt, nickel, and manganese. It can also reduce the environmental impact of disposal. Process The recycling process involves dismantling, shredding, melting, and dissolving the battery in acid. This results in a black mass that contains the chemical elements and compounds that can be used to make cathodes. Some research is underway to develop more efficient recycling methods, such as using robotics to automate the process. This could help to reduce the risk of injury to workers and improve the purity and value of the recovered materials. Yes, lithium mining can be harmful to the environment: Water: Lithium mining can lead to water shortages, water-related conflicts, and increased salinity of rivers. In the Salar de Atacama, groundwater levels have been depleted by as much as 1 meter per year. Soil: Lithium mining can degrade soil and contaminate it with toxic waste. Air: Lithium mining can contaminate the air. Biodiversity: Lithium mining can lead to biodiversity loss and damage to ecosystem functions. Land: Lithium mining can lead to land degradation and deforestation. Indigenous communities: Lithium mining can displace indigenous peoples and disrupt their practices. Lithium is essential for powering electric vehicles and storing wind and solar power. However, some say that the cost of emissions associated with extracting lithium may not be as efficient as we believe.

    Not sure why they are using the Scout brand, these vehicles are not basic or utilitarian by any means, they are not looking to make a new market, so good luck with just more over priced candy! VW great idea, horrible implementation. Redo- make these basic at $20- $25k and USA will buy em up. Otherwise just like the VW Van we have been waiting for, if it ever comes out in USA at a reasonable cost maybe VW can survive, nahhh.

    • @GregariousAntithesis
      @GregariousAntithesis 17 днів тому

      @ would a diesel generator require less environmentally unfriendly batteries and extend the range substantially. People are building hybrids backwards to many batteries. Do locomotives use batteries? No they use diesel engines to power huge generators that power the huge electric motors on the drive wheels. They are an example of rational hybrids not this insane amount of environmentally horrid and cost prohibitive expensive batteries. Hence why i said you should look into what Edison motors are doing with electric hybrids on semi tractors and pickup truck conversion kits. Supposedly Toyota is also working on something similar. You should be working to reduce the number of batteries which is exactly the opposite of what most hybrid manufacturers have done.

    • @MissGoElectricIndustry
      @MissGoElectricIndustry 17 днів тому

      My question was not related to battery size. I asked about the advantages of your preference for diesel VS the engineers decision to utilize gasoline. Our stance on this channel is that batteries are recyclable. They enable a circular domestic economy. They can be produced using abundant materials sourced and assembled in the USA. We prefer purely electric propulsion to any which integrates a combustion engine. That said, the energy density of today's batteries is not yet sufficient to replace combustion engines in every category of transportation. Automobiles with combustion engines are more complex. Thusly they are less reliable with shorter lifespans and higher operational costs. Gasoline and diesel dependence weakens the US geopolitically. Oil rigs, pipelines, and tankers leak and spill monthly, causing widespread environmental destruction. Gasoline is at least 10x more likely to cause incineration fatalities compared to automotive batteries. Combustion engines exhaust is a primary cause of cancer and asthma along for those who live or work near roadways. Fuel refinement is wasteful. It's transportation is wasteful. A very small percentage of the energy in a gallon of gasoline is covered to kinetic energy at the wheel. Even electric propulsion powered by the *minority* of our electrical grid which is fossil fuel driven is superior in every category listed above compared to combustion alternatives. -Producer Tim

    Looks like VW and South Carolina have bet Big $ on this. They have shown a neat design, and thrown in a little PR bait with the gas generator*. Though 2027 may be a bit late, since the rest of the world is not waiting for them to start. After deliveries commence in a couple of years it will be interesting to see if they did a better job matching customers desires than the Ford F150 Lightning, which has now in paused production due to swelling inventory on dealers' lots due to poor sales. If, and when, Ford ever gets its dreamy "Blue Oval City" running, it could easily make a strong competitor with an electric Bronco or Maverick. In any case, good luck to VW, they'll need it. By the 2027, though, they could be building vehicles for their new wholly owned subsidiary, acquired for defaulting on loan payments, Rivian. 🤣 *which is a much more realistic and credible solution than plastering some solar cells on a Tricycle car 🙄.

More legacy companies should be spinning off these efforts fast as they can. But instead, most are paring back...losing battles with UAW, dealers, suppliers and oil corporations. Then the EU and US put tariffs on the Chinese who are a decade ahead which only makes them lose more in the end. Scout is a beacon of hope for a path forward for these dying gas automakers.

We don't think the R3 platform will be a great candidate for body on frame manufacturing at the Scout facility...but we've been wrong before. We'll see if your suspicions are on point. We do think Rivian probably contribute more than only the zonal architecture and behind-the-scenes software.

I can’t help thinking the market for a smaller vehicle is much larger, and under served. I’m sure they did the math and decided there are bigger margins (or smaller losses) on large units.

    Wow, is this the first EV to bring back the old analog needle speedometer? It looks so retro. There’s no need for a nuisance start/stop button so remove it in production units. Adding a gas engine range extender is the wrong approach. The proper way to add range is more batteries like Silverado. The primary reason for buying an EV is to avoid engines that pollute, require service, and visits to a gas station. I know this channel dislikes fossil fuel transportation.

    • @MissGoElectricIndustry

      There is no *need* for most buttons, as evidenced by the minimalist design of the Tesla Model Y interior. That said, the audience cheered for buttons at this event. That indicates demand. If a feature generates more revenue than it costs, most executives would say the part is worth offering. The Model Y will probably remain the best selling car in the USA for a very long time and it will probably have the best profit margins. There must be EVs of every permutation in order to supplant internal combustion transportation. We are not fans of a gasoline engine, but we have conducted literally hundreds of thousands of test drives with car buyers in our work supporting EV auto makers. 500 miles is a magic range number for most drivers to consider an EV "worry free". Lucid has shown us that very free buyers are willing to pay $100k for that much range. We think a price of $55k and a range of 500 miles will increase the addressable market well beyond Scout's production capabilities. For now, the only way to meet the range and price target with an electric perfect is by harnessing a lower cost and higher density energy storage solution like gasoline to charge the batteries. By 2027 we think there will be a few companies offering batteries which will get closer to competing on range and cost. By 2030, we presume the manufacturing and operational costs associated with combustion range extenders will no longer be attractive for most applications.

    The extender to reach 500 miles is an answer for today’s range limitations. The RAM REV will debut in a few months, so the concept of on-board generator to extend range will be old hat by 2027. The Silverado EV can exceed 450 miles and R1T 420 miles….today. Battery cost will be lower and range farther in two years. The sweet spot will be 500+ miles on battery alone.
