I love my wife, but I’ve got a whole section of my heart fully reserved for electric mini-trucks. They live rent free in my mind and I consider them to be one of the coolest innovations that trucks have seen in the last several decades. As American cars and trucks continue to become more bloated, turning themselves into lifestyle vehicles instead of work tools, electric mini-trucks have been picking up the slack. I own a Chinese electric mini-truck and it has seen more real work usage than…

Ireland had hoped for Oscar glory but instead ended up the butt of jokes about drinking, fighting and incomprehensible accents as it claimed just a couple of the coveted golden statuettes.Just two awards out of 14 nominations was disappointment enough but Hollywood added insult to injury with national tropes that elicited eye rolls in Ireland.The host Jimmy Kimmel made a gag in the opening monologue that linked the “green wave” to Will Smith slapping Chris Rock at last year’s ceremony. “Five Irish actors are nominated…

Now the Globe Haul ST has launched as the first fruit of that vision.The inaugural model in "a growing number of everyday high-performance EVs" under the Globe banner, the Haul ST is built around a one-size low-step aluminum frame with dual-telescoping seat post and adjustable handlebars to accommodate riders between 4.4 and 6.3 ft (1.34 - 1.93 m) in…

Specialized, one of the leading manufacturers of high-end bicycles and e-bikes, has launched its first-ever value segment of e-bikes under the Globe line. The company’s launch model is an electric cargo bike known as the Globe Haul ST.
