Tesla Cybertruck Hauls Your Electric Motorcycle in Sci-Fi Style – Updated

By Paul Crowe

Elon Musk rolled out his new Cybertruck pickup and it's obvious he didn't steal anyone else's design, this is definitely coloring outside the lines, but minus the color.

Curtiss Pushes the Electric Motorcycle Design Envelope

By Paul Crowe

While I was away, my inbox never slept and judging by the number of notices coming in for concept, pre-production or in-production electric motorcycles, you would think the end of fossil fuels had already arrived.

Building Your Own Battery Packs for Your DIY Electric Vehicle Project

By Paul Crowe

DIY lithium batteries

A couple of readers of our post about the home built electric trike commented about the batteries. As I noted in the post, that particular build was completed in 2013, so it's using battery technology available then, but the whole field is advancing pretty fast and you could design a better solution if you decided to build one now.
