Urban Transport

Around two years after having the project approved and one year after finishing construction of the tunnel, The Boring Company's transport Loop beneath the Las Vegas Convention Center has now started transporting passengers.

Bad Bike has released a number of interesting rides over the years, including a folding model rocking fat tires and even an ebike and sidecar combo. Now the company has taken to Indiegogo to launch its latest ride, the Mig fat-tire electric scooter.

The company behind the Superstrata carbon fiber street bike has taken its 3D-printed unibody construction approach to the world of e-mobility for the Scotsman e-scooter, which can roll up to a top speed of 45 mph and for up to 70 miles per charge.

While some ebikes are pretty much conventional bicycles with electric-assist motors, others are more like electric motorcycles with pedals. Offering a top speed of 40 mph, the Ristretto 303 FS definitely falls into the latter category.

Back in early 2019, Citroën shared a vision for inner city micromobility with the Ami One electric concept. The tiny two-seater was launched in Europe last year and now it's being joined by the My Ami Cargo, an electric microvan for small businesses.

Big kids with one leg in the 1980s may remember a radio-controlled toy car from Tamiya called the Wild One. The UK's Little Car Company is now re-releasing it, but as a drivable electric replica called the Wild One Max.

Ordinarily, riding an electric scooter doesn't feel that much like riding a Jet Ski. Germany-based entrepreneur Oguzhan Abayrak has set out to make it more so, though, with his Uready tilting e-trike.

California's X Mobility Motors has launched its first three products – an electric skateboard, an electric kickscooter and a folding ebike. But perhaps even more enticing are plans to launch a couple of electric motorcycles later in the year.

Israel's Mobileye has teamed up with startup Udelv to get an autonomous electric delivery pod called the Transporter on the streets by 2023, with a plan to produce 35,000 of the self-driving electric cargo haulers by 2028.

Niu has added to its portfolio of electric two-wheelers with its first ever kick scooter. It's designed to plug a hole in the daily travels of urban commuters, with impressive range and power packed into a rather affordable package.

Advances in electric propulsion have opened up some interesting possibilities when it comes to moving goods through busy urban areas, and now automaker Polestar has leveraged its expertise in this area to cook up an electric cargo mover of its own.

One of the fastest electric kick scooters out there, the new Kaabo Wolf King accelerates to highway speeds in mere seconds and doesn't stop gaining speed until it hits 60 mph. It even takes all that speed off-road.
