Certification of new batteries, 750-watt absolute power limit (even for peak moments), blinking rear red light, helmets for certain ages, and other requirements.

It appears that exoskeletons are ready for prime time. An exoskeleton is a powered devide that helps you move, including walking, running, cycling, and walking up and down stairs.

Electric bikes, unfortunately, depreciate much faster than conventional bikes. This thought hit me today with great clarity due to what, at first blush, seemed like a bargain. I saw a craigslist ad for a used Juiced 2013 ODK U500 for $650. Wow! I thought. That's a good deal! No matter that the...
