Trailer - Who is Torque Talk? full c32fe0a3-cd48-44b1-8516-8d6d244d4382 https://share.transistor.fm/s/f7574650 I've been riding bikes since I was three years old. One day I was on my road bike riding on a steep climb and this was over almost 15 years ago. I got blown away by somebody on I didn't know what. Caught up to the guy at the lights, found out he was on an e-bike and at that point I decided this is something I need to be involved in. 

That was in 2013.

Since theni've been fortunate enough to visit factories all over the world, Taiwan, China and Europe. I've seen how e-bikes are actually built. I've been involved in the design, engineering, compliance of launching e-bikes into Australia. So I know exactly where supply chains cut corners, which brands stand behind their products and which ones don't. I'm Nick Willis. I founded Electric Bikes Brisbane.

We're a trained Bosch e-bike specialist dealer and have been so since 2014. So between our workshop, the shop floor and the factory floor, I've seen almost every mistake a buyer can make. This is Talk Talk, Australia's e-bike podcast. Every second Tuesday, we'll cut through the noise, talk about real legislation, real technology, real trial conditions from people that actually ride the trails every day.

Episode 1 drops on the 1st of July, which happens to be when Queensland's new e-bike laws come into effect. We'll tell you what's changed, what they got right, what they completely missed. Subscribe now, wherever you listen to podcasts, so you don't miss out.
