https://electrek.co/2023/01/09/lectric-xp-trike-electric-tricycle-teaser-revealed/ More will be revealed on 1/13 but for $1500 that's a real good deal. I have some older friends who may want this over a bike.

Sure... but it's also not the type of radiator you see in an ICE car. And as others have said, there are various options for cooling like air cooled or liquid cooled that may be closed systems. EVs are more efficient in that the motors don't generate a large amount of heat like combustion...

Most EVs don't have a radiator but may have a heat pump. Hoses and such for windshield wiper fluid probably but not much else. It's very interesting because if you look at a Tesla and open the frunk, it's just as minimalistic as the passenger space. But open an ID.4, a Hyundai Ioniq 5, a Kia...

Electric Ram 1500 Revolution EV truck with 3-rows and saloon doors: https://www.motortrend.com/news/ram-1500-revolution-ev-pickup-truck-concept-first-look-review/

At least no one here is blaming vaccines for Hamlin's collapse. :) I hope he recovers and is able to go back to playing football.

This is a concern shared by many but like with any technology, society will adjust. Remember how slow your internet was on your phone back before the iPhone? EV adoption is also driving solar adoption and in places where sun is plentiful, that's a good thing. Battery tech will evolve and soon...

In perfect EV utopia (or autopia)... everyone will have solar and batteries (or EVs will act as batteries using V2G). Neighborhoods will become self sufficient and there will not be any loss of electricity even if the grid goes down (at least in the sunny areas of the world). By then...

I'm sure they will find something to ding you on. For example... on our Leaf, Nissan had called us to come in and do a 6-month battery checkup... also called us again when it was 1 year. I'm sure if I went in, they would have found something to charge me for that wasn't covered under warranty...

I'd like to remind you that the number one brand of EVs has not had a federal tax credit for years. Prices have already dropped, the Bolt EV/EUV are ~$6k less than the previous year where most brands are raising prices. As manufacturers move to more universal platforms and scale assembly...

They had the Solo at the LA Auto Show... only one seater though (hence the name):

I went looking at other brands to see if they have anything equivalent to the Sport. R1U has the 500 but it's only available in step-thru right now... the Cafe Cruiser looks good as does the 700 and LTD. Aventon has the Level but at a much higher price. They have the Pace series but neither...

Went to the LA Auto Show and saw a bunch of cars (including the new Prius). Best things I saw were the Vinfast models (the biggest SUV, the VF-9 is pretty nice)... And the ID Buzz, they had the Euro version but it's really roomy... sort of like a smaller minivan. There was even a 67 EV:

About the new Prius plug-in... I used to be a PHEV proponent mainly from the range anxiety angle. But after about 4 years of owning a PHEV, I almost never used gas and the switch to EV was so much better. No gas/engine smell in the garage, no ICE maintenance... and quieter drive and one-pedal...

Depends what battery size you want... cheapest Freedom 2 just less than $1k: The silver one looks nice (although I'd switch the seats and handlebars back to black):

I wouldn't underestimate the ICE legacies... Ford was able to turn around an EV truck in less time than Tesla and Rivian and the result is exactly what helped many buyers jump in... a EV that looked like the ICE truck people were used to. The Mach-E is also a "success". Mercedes has an...

I still haven't bit, even with their perpetual $600 off sale. I really just want the silver one with the gray tires because it looks cool... just don't know if I can go back to non-hydraulic brakes.

I guess they never replaced the Sport. Mine seems like it's aging (the rear hub motor whines sometimes) but considering all it's been through... it was very much worth the purchase.

I had this issue on my 2020 Espin Sport... but once I ordered a new set of spokes (2.3mm/13gauge) and had the wheel rebuilt (about $100) haven't had one since. They also threaded them differently per instructions from Espin ("the rear wheel is much more sturdy when all of the spoke heads are...

It's all the rage for middle school/high schoolers around here... riding those fast Super 73s paired up and without helmets... young and invincible.
