REE Automotive: Redefining Electric Mobility with a Modular Platform

Image
Electric mobility is undergoing a radical transformation, and Israeli startup REE Automotive is leading the charge with a bold new approach. Instead of designing vehicles around a fixed chassis, REE integrates all critical drive components—motors, steering, suspension, and braking—into the wheel arches. This leaves a flat, open floor that acts as a “blank canvas” for manufacturers to build customized EVs. Co-founder and CEO Daniel Barel explains: “EVs, particularly e-delivery vehicles, are in huge demand, with growth drivers including global carbon-emission regulatory policies coupled with booming e-commerce.” This modularity means logistics companies, fleet operators, and even passenger transport providers can tailor vehicles to their exact needs—whether it’s payload capacity, range, or design. By simplifying the architecture, REE reduces development time and cost, while enabling a diverse ecosystem of electric vehicles. In ...

Cruising in a Wearable Motorcycle Suit

Image
After crashing his own bike, content creator Jake Carlini decided to rethink mobility from the ground up. His solution? A wearable electric motorcycle suit that turns the rider into the machine. Instead of sitting upright, users ride in a planking position, strapped into a lightweight frame. The suit integrates: Repurposed bike parts for wheels, frame supports, and mechanical linkages. Electric motors mounted to drive the wheels. Battery pack fitted into the suit for power. Hand controls for acceleration and braking. The result is a motorized outfit where the rider becomes the chassis. It’s part cosplay, part engineering experiment, and a bold vision of DIY mobility. Carlini’s invention shows how creativity can transform everyday parts into futuristic transport. Source : AI

Augment 360: The Ride Ends, Security Begins

Image
The ride may end, but the journey of care continues. That’s the philosophy behind Augment 360, a compact electric moped solution designed to address one of urban mobility’s most overlooked challenges: secure storage after use. Developed by Finnish micromobility pioneer Augment, in collaboration with Munich-based designer Christian Zanzotti, the Augment 360 is more than a vehicle — it’s a holistic ecosystem. The concept begins at the moment after the ride, ensuring that riders don’t just arrive at their destination but also have peace of mind knowing their moped has a safe, designated place to stay. This design-first approach blends Scandinavian practicality with German precision, creating a product that is as functional as it is visually striking. By focusing on the “after-ride” experience, Augment 360 sets a new benchmark in micromobility — one where convenience, security, and sustainability converge. In a world where cities are rapidly ...

Design: Flush door handles, panoramic glass roof, U‑shaped LED signature, and spacious 2,750 mm wheelbase. Launch timeline: Early‑to‑mid 2027, priced around ₹17–25 lakh. Competition: Maruti e‑Vitara, Hyundai Creta EV, Tata Curvv EV, Mahindra BE series. The 0 Alpha represents Honda’s first serious EV push in India, shifting from hybrids to a ground‑up electric platform.

Noordung: The Portable Battery That Redefines Urban Cycling

Image
Noordung: The Portable Powerhouse on Two Wheels Urban mobility is evolving, and Noordung’s new electric bike is a striking example of how design, technology, and sustainability can merge seamlessly. At just 20.8 kg, this carbon-fiber framed e-bike is light yet futuristic. Its detachable Boombox battery isn’t just a power source — it doubles as a portable speaker system with four high-fidelity Bluetooth speakers and a power bank to charge your devices. The 300Wh battery delivers up to 60 km of pedal-assist range, recharging fully in three hours with a 100W charger. But Noordung goes beyond performance: it integrates an air pollution sensor that feeds data into a decentralized network, helping riders plan routes with cleaner air. Other smart features include: Integrated electronic lock for security Smartphone mount and companion app (iOS/Android) Intuitive one-button controls Real-time air quality monitoring Priced at €6,990, N...
