Detours can be a beautiful thing, if you're not in a hurry to reach a certain destination. I'll especially resort to this "approach" when I'm on an island vacation. Some roads will just have a dead end, but others can occasionally lead to some amazing spots. But I'm just not talking about detours literally, but also metaphorically. Taking the "Long Way Road" c... ( continue reading... )
Folks, alternative mobility is everywhere these days, especially with rising gas prices we're seeing at the pump. That said, I've gotten my hand on a mobility solution dubbed the K20 Pro AKA, Laluz 2 Pro, a dual-motor e-scooter that rolls in as one of the best deals around. At this time, the K20 Pro e-scooter is selling for no more than 520 in Europe or just $730 over in the USA. Well, I got my…
Ever since little motors and batteries became the norm for vehicles on the road, one design simply took off: the e-scooter. So, I've been testing these babies for the past few years, and when I got my hands on Engwe's Y1000 e-scooter, I had no idea what to expect, especially if we consider that this brand has made a name for itself selling e-bikes. Come to find out, it's officially the best budget…
The 2026 Porsche Cayenne Electric seems to defy the laws of physics, with seemingly impossible performance figures despite having the weight of a full-size truck. The first test drive in the top-of-the-line Turbo variant proved that supercar-like performance is within reach regardless of shape and weight. Porsche might have lifted the foot off the accelerator when considering its EV plans, but…
There was a time when Chinese cars were weak and easy to ingnore because they were badly finished or tried too hard to look like something they weren't. Those times are gone. Car giants like Chery, BYD, and SAIC, are catching up quickly, and the Omoda 7 is proof of that. When Honda, Toyota, Nissan, and Hyundai understood that they needed premium brands to earn more money from the same…
Full disclosure - I love Volvo. I think I always have. Even before I started my career as an automotive journalist, I appreciated Volvos for their design philosophy, build quality and of course, safety. The Swedish brand continues to be synonymous with safety, even though its competitors are up there as well. I still remember the first time I saw an 850 on the cover of a car magazine in the 90s.…
There are countless e-bike brands to choose from, and when a new one comes along, I like to dive in deeper to see what they offer. This time around, we take a closer look at Macfox and their X7L, a scrambler-style e-bike with a rather attractive price tag. Just $1,500 is all this manufacturer is asking you to drop on this ride, and we got our hands on one. Let's see how it fares in the real world.…
It's hard not to play favorites, sometimes. The Mazda CX-5 has been a breath of fresh air, for me, in a somewhat stale segment that for the longest time wouldn't place much value on driving dynamics and interior build quality. I need to take you back to the very beginning, to early 2012 when the first-generation Mazda CX-5 went into production offering a choice of gasoline or diesel powertrains,…
Not a head-turner, but sitting far above the Pontiac Aztek school of visual punishment, the 2026 BYD ATTO 2 DM-i is the kind of subcompact crossover that might fill parking lots faster than expected, especially thanks to its price. Unfortunately, BYD does not seem in a hurry to set foot on U.S. soil. While available on several continents, the 2026 BYD ATTO 2 DM-i is not present in the North…
BMW has always evolved carefully and deliberately. Which makes the speed of its recent design shift stand out even more. The German carmaker went through two completely different design philosophies in less than half a decade. Before this Neue Klasse era came the Domagoj Dukec era. I don't think they even gave the latter a name. Much like the Bangle era. Dukec was the man responsible for the likes…
