Canoo Multi-Purpose Delivery Vehicle
This looks cool. And to me, this seemed to come out of nowhere. I wonder how this would compete with Amazon’s own upcoming fleet of electric delivery vehicles and UPS’ collaboration with Arrival. The Canoo MPDV certainly has the cool factor but I can’t imagine this thing would be cheap to own or repair (as many delivery vehicles get put through its paces).
Is this the next electric vehicle for UPS fleet?
Why can’t we just make cars and trucks that look like this? For city-purposes, this is perfect. It doesn’t need to go very fast and being completely electric seems like an overall plus.
Xiaomi Mi Electric Scooter
This thing, at $599, is just expensive enough for me not to buy it. But it has high reviews. I’m sure this will only get cheaper over time.
A quick look at New York City's electric pedal-assist Citibike
This past week, NYC unveiled its first electric pedal-assist Citibikes. The new bikes look almost the same as the latest generation of Citibikes except for a small black box which you turn on to enabled pedal-assist. This will be very welcome for bridge commuters.
If you want to find one, open up your Citibike app and look for the lightning bolt icon next to docking stations. If you see one, that means at least one electric bike is available. As of now though, they are limited and you have to seek them out.
