Want a scooter that gives you storage space and an eco-friendly ride? Try the FEDDZ scooter. It was designed and built by Germany’s Emo-Bike and has an interesting design. It uses an electric motor built into the wheel hub, which leaves that hole in motorbike’s frame free to store your stuff.

Now you can ride a scooter and bring your groceries home. No need to have a basket on the handlebars anymore. You get 23 liters of storage in all. This scooter comes in two versions with 48-volt lithium-ion batteries. The larger option delivers up to a 68-mile range on a seven hour charge, with a top speed of about 28 mph.

You’ll pay for that storage though. Prices start at just under $8,400(USD). For that price just get a decent used car with a trunk.

PBS vs. NPR Who will reign supreme? Philadelphia public media provider WHYY is setting the stars of NPR against the luminaries of PBS. Happy-clouds painter Bob Ross handily defeated voice-of-nature David Attenborough in the first round, but took it on the chin against the Dowager Countess. It’s all about who garners the most fan votes. Round 3 is currently under way. I’m betting it all comes down to deGrasse Tyson taking on Ira Glass in a grudge match for the ages. I give this one to the “Cosmos” host, but just barely.

Apple has already stopped calling Apple TV a "hobby." It’s too important now to the company’s future, and too successful in its own right. But the thing that pushes Apple TV into your living room won’t be any one box redesign or killer app. It’ll be the remote.
