Over the last few months since its launch, we have seen numerous Maruti Suzuki Jimnys being modified in different ways. People have done all kinds of stuff with the Jimny; however, there are some that stand out from the rest. Recently, a few pictures of one of the most insane-looking Jimnys have been shared on the internet. This particular Jimny has been equipped with a set of extremely huge all-terrain tires and a lift kit along with a few other modifications. This Jimny will also be showcased by Maruti Suzuki India…

Taiwan-based e-mobility outfit Gogoro is taking its battery-swapping electric scooters out beyond the city limits with the introduction of the CrossOver SmartScooter, which the company is calling the first two-wheel SUV.Where Gogoro's previous e-scoots like the Viva are definitely city dwellers, the CrossOver is designed for more challenging conditions. The so-called "two-wheel SUV" rides high with a 14.2-cm (5.6-in) ground clearance, and has been built around a brand-new all-terrain frame designed for extra strength and…

After a somewhat troublesome 2022, Hong Kong's Fiido has released an all-terrain fat-tire cargo ebike called the Titan that can ride with three batteries for a tasty per-charge range of up to 400 km.Back in 2021, Fiido essentially smoothed out the frame bumps of the funky D11 folding ebike and updated the seat-tube battery for the eye-catching X model – and hit Indiegogo to fund production. We got to ride one in March of the following year and were pretty impressed.But a few weeks after that review was published, the…

Electric skateboards are a blast no matter what type you’re riding or where you’re doing it. Just having a fast, fun form of transportation in a compact package you can carry under your arm is a feat in and of itself. But off-road electric longboards ratchet the fun up several notches by taking you beyond just cruising the bike paths and out into nature. The WowGo AT2 Plus is an all-terrain e-board that can handle any type of terrain you throw at it, doing so without breaking the bank. I’ve…

If you were pedaling over rough terrain while carrying a big load, you'd probably appreciate the stability offered by three wheels. The BiTrike was designed with such considerations in mind, as it features front and rear independent suspension, plus it tilts into turns.Currently the subject of a Kickstarter campaign, the vehicle was designed by Greek inventor Kostas Simelidis. And yes, it is a bit unusual in that the load is carried between two rear wheels, instead of between two front wheels as is the case on many cargo…

After 12 years of absence from Honda’s lineup, the Transalp returns based on the same engine platform that debuted with the 2023 CB750 Hornet. It's designed for all-terrain performance and comes with a lush electronic arsenal similar to that of the Africa Twin 1100.First introduced in 1987, the Honda XL600V Transalp belongs to an elite group of motorcycles credited with the foundation of the modern-day adventure bike segment, next to pioneering icons like the BMW GS, Honda Africa Twin, and Yamaha Super Tenere.The Transalp…

German startup Mastix Bike has pedaled onto Kickstarter with a BMX-styled fat-tire urban ebike called the One that's being made available in road-legal EU and US variants, as well as more powerful off-road adventure models.Operating out of Boennighein/Hofen near Stuttgart, with manufacturing partners in Germany and Hong Kong, Mastix Bike has developed the One to "offer a way to make daily transportation safe and fun." This translates to an ebike rocking a retro-cool BMX-style 6061 aluminum alloy frame and handlebar that…

This is the first time I’ve had a chance to test one of Maxfind’s electric skateboards, but the budget e-skateboard maker has seriously impressed me. Having previously tested much more expensive name-brand boards, I can immediately tell you that the Maxfind FF AT rides just as well, if not better, than some of the bigger names out there. It may not have quite as much power (though it’s close), but it makes up for it in the ride quality. Maxfind FF AT board tech specs Motors: Dual rear 1,500W hub motors (3,000W…

What happens when an autonomous vehicle gets stuck in the mud?  Researchers from Carnegie Mellon University wanted to find out. They took an all-terrain vehicle off-road. With researchers on board, it traveled through challenging situations such as driving through dense vegetation and puddles. It was put through the paces with aggressive driving up and down hills, at speeds of 30mph (48mph), and sharp turns.  The researchers generated a dataset called…
