Dan Cavallari

Spencer Powlison exists at a powerhouse crossroads in the cycling industry.  He was the news director at VeloNews Magazine; an editor for The Pros' Closet; a cyclocross racer, gravel racer, and now motorcycle guru.

But this new venture for Powlison, Direct-Current.bike, takes him off his usual beaten path. While Powlison can claim victories on a wide variety of surfaces and bicycle styles, eMTB wasn't much on his radar until recently.

In his pursuit to learn something new and dive headlong into the nuts and bolts of it all, Powlison became an eMTB enthusiast. That led him to do what he does best: write about his experiences. 

Spencer Powlison joins host Dan Cavallari on the Slow Guy on the Fast Ride podcast to talk about his new media title, Direct-Current.bike. Powlison gives us the lo-down on what he intends to do differently with his eMTB reviews. On top of that, Powlison gives his take on some of the hot topics surrounding eMTB.
