Following the production announcement of the C-04 electric scooter earlier this month, BMW designers have returned to the micromobility drawing board for two new concepts – the Dynamic Cargo e-trike and the Clever Commute electric kickscooter.

It would not be an understatement to say that some users of e-scooter sharing services ride rather irresponsibly. A new system, however, detects improper scooter usage and responds by warning the rider or even stopping the scooter if necessary.

By taking lessons from the world of supercar design and leveraging its own expertise built up over 13 years of production, Australian outfit Evolve has just wheeled out its most advanced electric skateboard to date.

Following Indiegogo launches for a full-suspension electric kickscooter and an all-terrain ebike, Splach is returning to the crowdfunding platform next month with a kind of e-scooter/trail-ready moto mashup called the Transformer.

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.
