Creating this unconventional car a quarter-century ago didn't lead to a sales blockbuster, but it did bring much of the technology today's EVs rely on.
The sporty tires and two choices of frame style (step over or step through) give riders plenty of options to use this bike on the trails or the streets. I love that it includes full metal fenders as well so you don’t have to spend extra on those. I’d definitely recommend...
But the doom-and-gloom is hard to buy when you see thatFord's EV sales were up 31% in July alone, or thatHyundaiandKiaare seeing rising sales, or that General Motors has more affordable models in the pipeline. Any of those automakers could hit 100,000 EVs produced this year, something...
Both models have short front overhangs, but when viewed from the side, it’s hard not to notice the somewhat-length rear overhang of the Traveler. Other key design elements include blacked-out arches, skirts, and bumpers, black wheels with rugged tires, and black pillars. The rear of the ...
So yes, I knew the rolling resistance might be higher, but it's going to be very hard to know how much higher. Will my range be less? Yes, but probably not by enough to really notice.I can see why Tesla chose the OEM tires that they did. The foam inside to suppress noise in...
save weight and improve fuel economy. While these tires may show a benefit in miles per gallon, they can contribute to longer stopping distances. A workaround is to consider fitting your hybrid with the same tires used on non-hybrid variants. But this would increase the cost of your hybrid...
real cars, and when gasoline costs $7 a gallon, suddenly they’ll have a bestseller on their hands, and the wailing and gnashing of teeth in Detroit will be heard all the way to Washington. Or motivated by this type of gas gouge, consumers will discover EVs as cost-effective alternatives...
an all-out assault on Le Mans or a season ofFormula One. All teams use the same car and battery pack designs (motors and gearboxes aren’t restricted), eliminating the biggest potential R&D costs. Restrictions on things like tires and the amount of technical staff teams are allowed to brin...
Standard wheels are 18-inchs (19-inchers are optional), with 255-section tires in front and 275-section at the back end. The wheels cover brakes with steel rotors, though optional carbon-ceramic units with gold-painted calipers can be had, as well. The widened rear wheel arches were deem...
The 11.6-foot-long QQ3 offers no radio, air conditioning, airbags, or ABS, and the dynamics are so poor we’re amazed how hard the brakes bite on the mountain bike we ride a week later. There are cheaper ways to die than this $9000 gem. VEHICLE TYPE: front-engine...
