Among a bunch of e-mobility solutions on show at Okai's CES 2023 booth last week were the slick-looking EB60 commuter ebike that's pegged for US availability later this year, along with the company's first eMTB – the very limited EB20.

Continuing its love affair with fat tires, oddly-named e-mobility company Cyrusher has recently launched a new flagship – an all-terrain ebike called the Ranger that sports full suspension, a 1,200-W Bafang motor and a 50-mile battery.

Back in 2020, Cleveland CycleWerks revealed a retro-modern electric motorcycle called the Falcon. The company co-founder splintered the project into a new startup in August of that year, and now the Falcon has taken flight as the District.

Pierpaolo Lazzarini is certainly no stranger to unusual designs, but the Pangeos is his most ambitious to date. Taking the form of a gigantic turtle, it would create a movable "city" that he estimates would be the world's largest floating structure.

Mobility startup Rymic is looking to lower the price of commuting by ebike with the launch of the Infinity 3, which combines a torque sensor, hub motor, 100-km battery and relatively lightweight build with a $1,099 Indiegogo starting perk.

About a year ago, Velotric launched a successful Indiegogo campaign to fund an urban step-through ebike capable of rolling for up to 80 miles. Now the startup is back with a fat-tire adventure model called the Nomad 1.

Motoring on many electric kickscooters can have riders twisting their bodies to fit both feet on fairly narrow decks. UK-based micromobility company Pure Electric is looking to encourage a more natural stance with the launch of the Advance e-scoots.

After catering to most ebike riders with the e-Omnia range last year, veteran Italian marque Bianchi is repeating the formula with five new e-Vertic models for riders looking to tackle "the most adrenalin-soaked trails to the mean streets of town."

Nissan has announced the European market launch of a fully-electric version of its Townstar city van, which could be a good fit for small businesses or package deliver companies looking to haul goods around emissions-restricted city streets.

Following in the tire tracks of its City Slicker electric moto, CSC Motorcycles has announced the RX1E commuter, which has a top speed of 80 mph and a maximum range of 112 miles, plus neat touches like a belt drive, ABS and included top box.

The Flit-16 folding ebike launched on Kickstarter back in 2019 is now on general sale as the upgraded Commuter Edition, which we got to ride and fold, roll along and then unfold and ride for a few days earlier in the month.

While some electric moto makers focus on high performance and long range, others are aiming at the commuter market. California startup Ryvid has launched an around-town electric moto called the Anthem that also has enough pep for highway riding.
