The Hummer, the massive American SUV that boasts a global fan following, has now transitioned into an electric SUV. Originally manufactured for the US Army, a civilian version of the SUV was later launched, gaining immense popularity among celebrities worldwide. In 2009, the Hummer was discontinued, and a few years ago, the electric version of the SUV hit the market. While Hummers were never officially sold in India, a few affluent enthusiasts imported and registered the SUV. Here’s a list of famous Indians who own a…

The field of electric ATVs is small yet growing quickly, and now we’re getting our first look at a new entrant. The LIVAQ EQUAD claims to be the “most capable electric ATV ever.” Let’s see how it stacks up. The Michigan-based company just unveiled its new electric four-wheeler as an alternative to the largely ICE-controlled industry. As the company explained, “With the ATV market being largely dominated by gas-powered vehicles, LIVAQ positions itself as one of the most exciting new companies to…

Despite Tesla’s long-awaited Cyberquad electric ATV likely still having a long wait ahead of us, it’s actually been two years since the company rolled out a smaller version designed for young riders. But after a Consumer Product Safety Commission recall put the kibosh on the original version, Tesla has returned with an updated model that managed to avoid the same laws that quashed the original. The Cyberquad for Kids may look like a Tesla, but it was in fact created from a partnership between Tesla…

Finnish company 18 Wheels has prototyped one of the most bizarre off-roaders we've encountered: an electric all-terrain vehicle with ... well, the perfect number of wheels for a company with that name. Which is lucky, really. Imagine if it only had 16!People would be asking for their money back. They'd be all like "hey, I thought this thing was supposed to have 18 wheels, where's me other wheels?" Fortunately, 18 Wheels has ensured this isn't going to happen, by supplying its machine with exactly 18 wheels. Although you…

Tesla has launched its Cyberquad for Kids, an electric ATV for kids, in China after being banned for the dumbest reason in the US. In lieu of the actual Cyberquad, which is expected to be a full-scale electric ATV that is going to be an option with the Cybertruck, Tesla launched the Cyberquad for Kids in partnership with Radio Flyer last year. It is equipped with a small 500-watt electric motor and 288 Wh battery pack capable of a top speed of 16 km/h (10 mph) and a few miles of range. It’s…

For those who have had the pleasure of discovering my weekly column on weird electric vehicles from China (or for those with a less robust sense of humor who have had the displeasure of finding it), you’ll know I love trawling through Alibaba’s long list of wacky electric vehicles. I often find some real nuggets of treasure, and sometimes I even go as far as buying and importing them to the US. Make no mistake: It’s a terrible idea that is fraught with problems. That’s why I always advise against my…

Tesla is evidently still planning to make the Cyberquad as it files for a new trademark for the electric ATV. When Tesla unveiled the Cybertruck in 2019, CEO Elon Musk had a little “one more thing” moment on stage when they brought out the Tesla Cyberquad, an electric ATV, to show the payload capacity of the Cybertruck’s bed. At the time, it wasn’t clear whether Tesla planned on making the electric ATV available, but Musk later confirmed that it would be an option for Cybertruck buyers. But…

The nascent electric ATV market doesn’t offer that many options just yet, so it isn’t exactly difficult to become one of the self-described “fastest and most powerful electric ATVs.” But even if the pickings are still slim, the Indian company Powerland ATV thinks that its upcoming Tachyon electric ATV has what it takes to scratch that silent, powerful all-wheel-drive itch. The Powerland Tachyon was developed in India and is expected to begin exports to the US and EU markets this summer.…

Old Dominion is postponing several shows on their No Bad Vibes tour because lead singer-guitarist Matthew Ramsey was injured in an all-terrain vehicle accident.Ramsey, 45, on Tuesday revealed that he had fractured his pelvis in three places after the ATV accident, forcing the yearlong postponement of the alt-country band’s weekend concerts at Coffee Butler Amphitheater in Key West, Fla.“The good news is it’s gonna heal just fine. The bad news is I’m gonna have to stay home and recover for a little while. I know we all…

Uh oh, I’ve done it again. I’ve fallen in love with another one of the victims subjects of my Awesomely Weird Alibaba Electric Vehicle of the Week series. It’s an odd mashup of a quad and a pickup truck, complete with dumping bed. It’s the opposite of a mullet: party in front, business in back! I better be careful here because the last time I fell in love with a Chinese electric utility vehicle, I ended up with a big metal crate showing up at my family’s ranch. So I’m going to try to avoid…
