Segway’s new 28 MPH MUXI Pro cargo e-bike gets automatic shifting and regen braking

The cars of today are all hot rods. Everything from family minivans to budget electric sedans can gallop to 60 mph faster than some classic sports cars did. If you think some car sold today is slow, you should look at how slow diesel cars used to be! Mark wrote a showdown between a 1984 Ford Escort Diesel and a 1987 Ford Tempo AWD. Josh O:

Classic gems, tasteful customs, legendary supercars - for Silvian, they're all fair game. He's been in love with cars and motorcycles for as long as he can remember, so it made perfect sense to eventually turn that passion into a full-time writing career. Around six years and more than 3,000 articles later, he is still going strong and doesn't plan on hitting the brakes anytime soon. Regardless of your opinion on Tesla or its eccentric founder Elon Musk, there’s no denying that the Roadster’s recent reveal was absolutely wild. That thing just drove upside down, flew over a Semi and other Teslas while doing a barrel roll, and launched itself from zero to 60 mph in a single second. Call them gimmicks if you will, but the new Roadster basically broke the internet after its long-awaited official debut. And if there’s one thing Musk is more proficient at than anyone else, that would be his unmatched ability to get people talking even if it comes at the expense of overly ambitious or downright preposterous claims.

There are cheap e-bikes, and there are good mid-drive e-bikes. Those two circles on the Venn diagram don’t overlap nearly as often as we’d like. But Ride1Up’s newly launched Prodigy V2 Eco is doing its best to smash them together with a surprisingly low $1,295 price tag.

At the heart of the Prodigy V2 Eco is a German-made Brose TF Sprinter mid-drive motor pumping out 90 Nm of torque, paired with a 504 Wh battery using Samsung cells.

If you’ve been looking for an off-road electric scooter with plenty of power and room to grow, this one from ECOROAD is definitely worth a closer look. The ECOROAD ES6 Dual Motor Electric Scooter…

The new Citroën 2CV was perhaps the cutest thing unveiled at the Paris Motor Show this year, built in the same spirit as its ancestor but with an all-electric powertrain. Cosmetically, it takes several design cues from the old 2CV and updates them for the 21st century in the coolest possible way. And with a target sticker price of just €15,000 ($16,800), it could be precisely what the French automaker needs to give budget Chinese EVs a run for their money. Sensing that Citroën might be onto something here, another Stellantis subsidiary is apparently looking to take this particular page out of its rulebook. And the brand in question is Italy’s Fiat.
