    Galvbike - Fieldays 2026

    SummaryIt’s Fieldays 2026 and there’s a new electric farm bike on the scene—the GalvBike. The conversation focused on why this tough, no-nonsense machine isn’t in the innovation tent, what sets it apart for dairy farmers, and how the team’s past experience shaped the brutal simplicity of the design. A key theme that emerged was the value of validation from real farmers—and why the first production run is selling out fast. There’s advice for aspiring inventors and a random question thrown in as well. Links Galvbike Website Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
