A Few Baskets Get Most of the Eggs

Why do some E2W/L-category vehicle startups get massive funding, while many die without support? What do investors look for? Does everything make sense? What makes startups attractive? We dug through 15+ years of funding data to identify trends. Then, the question: What is the RoI for investors?

The Erosion Intensifies

There are not too many publicly traded E2W and electric light mobility players. The ones that are have mostly been struggling. We last checked their health eight months back. Now, we check on them again and realize that things have taken a downturn for the worse.

Tough Being A-Live

Livewire's full-year unit sales could not cross the 2023 numbers even as cost-cutting measures and a high loss base meant that the Milwaukee-based Harley offshoot could improve on its losses. It needs new and smaller products. It needs a huge cultural shift in America. It needs a miracle.

How Alive is Livewire?

Livewire started with a bang with its operations out of Silicon Valley. Harley has its back. However, the solid financial backing, a tech-heavy platform, and heavy spending have not translated into sales numbers. It just had another bad quarter and is now pulling back from Silicon Valley

Notes from EICMA 2024

We look at the important electric launches from EICMA, an event where Honda finally showed seriousness to electric mobility and came with a mid-size electric sports motorcycle and some scooters. Also, unveilings from Zero, Silence, Can-Am, Kymco and many more.
