Standardization is key to this, I think. Any device that cracks the 'fits all bicycles' electrification nut, is going to grow. Same goes for some startup that comes up with a way to convert existing petro-cars into electro-cars,

I realise this is a different class of bike, vis a vis e-bike vs. e-motorbike, but just by way of experience I've been an avid rider of electric mopeds (Vespa, UNU) and now an electric motorbike (Bonfire X) in a European city where suc

Just stop. China as a manufacturing solution for anyone but the people of the region must cease. It is utterly inefficient to produce stuff far, far from where it will be used. Spreading things out like this is balls. Lets start building a

I have been making music for decades. Not professionally of course, but only for myself. I think in the rush for fandom we forget that it is quite possible to be the best musician you know. Music is one of those healing substances that wil
