Revolutionizing rider safety: The protective jacket every e-biker should consider

Electrek

If you’ve followed my writing or videos, you’ll know I’m a “life on two-wheels” kind of guy. If there’s an electric motorcycle, e-bike, scooter, or anything else remotely rideable out there, I’ve probably thrown a leg over it at least once. Over the years I’ve been fortunate enough to learn how each type of vehicle comes with its own unique personality and enjoyment, but also its own risk profile.

Cars That Think

From 1934 to 1940, he regularly penned 70,000 to 100,000 words per month of pulp fiction under 15 different pseudonyms published in various magazines. Not to be constrained by genre, he wrote zombie mysteries , historical fiction , pirate adventure tales, and westerns. But by the spring of 1938, Hubbard started honing his craft in science fiction.

Comment on BYD investor event: 5th-gen DM hybrid tech, sales target, and more by AMortalDefiant

CN EV Post

As a BYD investor, I'm upset to see them waste so much money on dead technologies like PHEVs/EREVs. As the economies of scale disappear for ICE, so too will they disappear for hybrids that depend on the existence of ICE. BYD should be accelerating full speed on pure BEVs, but they waste half their effort looking to the past with hybrid technologies - technologies that have been shown in numerous studies to be a major source of toxic emissions, even when charged consistently.
