This is the daftest e-scooter in the world

The minds behind Bo’s sublime e-scooter met each other while working for the advanced engineering arm at (F1 team) Williams. Their mission was to take their knowledge of designing and building some of the world’s fastest cars to build a better e-scooter. But while they no longer work for a Formula One team, they can’t quite shake that desire to build vehicles that travel at preposterously daft speed. Which is why the company has today unveiled The Turbo, a souped-up version of the standard Bo e-

DEWLine Museum – The Distant Early Warning Radar Line

Typical DEWLine Stations There were two types of stations, Main and Auxiliary. The sites were placed approximately 100 miles (160 KM) apart, along the 69th parallel about 200 miles inside the Arctic circle. Originally, there was a third type of station called an Intermediate site (I-Site), located midway between each of the Main and Aux sites, and would have been home for about 5-people. The 28 I-Sites proved ineffective and were abandoned in 1963.

9 Best Electric Scooters (2025), Tested and Reviewed

Other Scooters to Consider I've tested many scooters. Not all deserve a spot above, but some are still worth considering. Niu KQi 100P Photograph: Julian Chokkattu Niu KQi 100P for $350: The KQi 100P is slightly lighter, cheaper, and faster than the Segway E2 Pro, my top budget recommendation, but I eked out slightly less range (under 5 miles). Granted, most people will be able to go a little further since you're probably not 6'4" and 250 pounds, but the Niu just has a smaller battery than th

2025 VW ID Buzz review: If you want an electric minivan, this is it

If you had asked me a few years ago, I would have told you that the review you're about to read would be one of the most-read car reviews of the year. For a while—quite a long while, in fact—the Volkswagen ID Buzz was the hottest electric vehicle you couldn't buy. Starting in 2001, VW began teasing concept after concept that called back to its various Transporters and Kombis, classic microbuses reimagined as modern minivans. When the electric Buzz was greenlit for production after wowing crowds

Experimental Propulsion Tech Could Reach Mysterious Planet Beyond Pluto in 10 Years

On November 14, 2003, astronomers spotted what was at the time the most distant known object orbiting the Sun. They called it Sedna after the Inuit goddess of the ocean. It’s a cold, reddish dwarf planet that drifts billions of miles away from the Sun during its 10,000-year orbit before coming in for a relatively close approach to our star. Its next perihelion is happening in July 2076, and astronomers want to take advantage of this rare encounter by flying a mission to the mysterious object. A

Dinesh’s Mid-Summer Death Valley Walk (1998)

The following is an account of our walk through Death Valley National Park during July 1998. We wanted to find out how it feels to walk in extreme heat for days at a time. We had set a goal of walking the entire park, from its northern boundary to its southernmost point, a distance of about 180 miles. Our plan was to walk 15 miles a day and finish the walk in 12 days. Dinesh's caption: Training for the hot walk. Note water-delivery tube, wool pants, wool shirt and heavy-duty thermal top and bo
