The electric car market is a little too crowded these days, with both startups and established automakers looking to claim their slice of the market.

Mon, 31 Mar 2025 19:42:02 +0000

Niche motorcycles aren’t exactly a booming category. However, they’re exactly the kind of vehicles that develop a cult following of loyal enthusiasts. We’re guessing that’s exactly what they’re hoping to tap on with the BMW R 12 G/S, a retro enduro that’s built for exploring less-than-beaten paths. Billed as “an off-road motorcycle with style,” the vehicle is touted as the spiritual successor to the R 80 G/S from 1980, a trailblazing motorcycle that brought a powerful boxer engine to a […]

The Best New Cars Coming Out in 2025

Fri, 27 Dec 2024 20:02:35 +0000

The automotive industry isn’t exactly easy to predict. Just a few years ago, every automaker was promising to go full electric within a decade or less. Now, you have many of those same companies backing away from electrification, as recent years have shown that neither the market nor the infrastructure are all that ready to ditch the good old gas-guzzler. Yes, there’s still a good load of excellent electric vehicles on the pipe, but a good lot of focus is […]

Three years ago, Radio Flyer released a ride-on replica of the Tesla Cyberquad, giving kids a functional electric ATV they can take across rugged terrains. It’s nice and all, but the near-$2,000 price tag made it a tough proposition for many parents.

Wed, 28 Aug 2024 19:46:41 +0000

While the Can-Am Spyder isn’t exactly a ubiquitous presence on the road, they do sell enough units of the odd-looking three-wheeled motorcycle (which looks like an ATV version of the Polaris Slingshot) to keep producing it for the last 17 years. This time around, the outfit is taking the Spyder’s three-wheel design and bringing it to the off-road in the form of the 2025 Can-Am Canyon. Looking like a hybrid between an ATV and an adventure bike, the reverse trike […]
