This sci-fi electric unicycle is the RYNO, a future-badass alternative to the Segway that looks like it got beamed down from the year 2114. But it’s here, and it’s real, and I got to ride it.

Tesla: not a Recall, per se
Posted in: Today's ChiliThere appears to be some confusion over the word “recall” when it comes to the current Model S Tesla vehicles out there in the wild, while the actual situation, instead, … Continue reading

Electric vehicles are starting to become more common these days, and while they are slowly gaining acceptance, safe to say they aren’t as preferred compared to regular fuel-consuming vehicles. Price is one of the reasons holding consumers back, along with the fact that electric vehicles have a limited range and charging stations aren’t as common as gas stations. While it does seem that electric vehicles are the way of the future, just when exactly can we look forward to electric vehicles being more prevalent on our roads?
According to the Energy Information Administration, they are predicting that it will only be 2040 when we still start seeing more electric vehicles on the road, but until then the majority of vehicles will remain as fuel consumers. The reasoning behind this is not so much that consumers are unwilling to adopt electric vehicles, but more because manufacturers are more interested in building advanced gasoline engines, although we suppose hybrid vehicles will sort of be a happy middle until then. In any case what do you guys think? Will it really take 27 years until electric vehicles become more common? Or do you foresee it happening a lot sooner?

I recently purchased a Supermoto, and I have to say that I’m having lots of fun. All that fun would probably be multiplied by ten if it was an all-electric bike. Check out the Zero FX Stealthfighter motorcycle, which can basically go anywhere, all without sipping a drop of fossil fuel.
The Zero FX Stealthfighter promises no fuss, and not much maintenance. The best part is that it’s all electric, so you won’t have to fill it up. It does well on the dirt track, the streets, or off road. It has 44 hp, 70 lb-ft. of torque, and weighs 280 lbs. The range for this bike varies between 35 miles and 70 miles, depending on which model you choose.
There are two versions of the bike available, one costs $9,495(USD) and has a 2.8 kWh battery. The other costs $11,990 and has a 5.7 kWh battery. Just like most electric vehicles, this is a clutch-less, direct-drive system, so no more shifting around to maximize power.

Win Races Greenly with Voxman Wattman, The Most Powerful Electric Motorcycle
Posted in: Today's ChiliHave you ever wanted to ride a motorcycle that’s basically made up of a big electric battery, a hefty motor and two wheels popped on the bottom? Well, the Voxman Wattman won’t win any beauty competitions, but you’ll laugh all the way to the finish line, as you blow your competition away, all with zero emissions.
The Voxman Wattman is claimed to be the world’s most powerful all-electric motorcycle, and it’s completely wrapped in an aluminum chassis that houses its drivetrain. It has 200hp, which will propel it to 100 mph in under six seconds. Plus, you can recharge this beast in less than 30 minutes.
The motorcycle will be hand-built in France, and I’m guessing that the price, which hasn’t been disclosed yet, will be pretty hefty.
I can only imagine fighting off stormtroopers and Matrix-style assassins on this EV.
