Oil and gas drilling could spoil the Moab Slickrock cycling trail

Slickrock

The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has proposed leasing two-thirds of Slickrock for oil and gas drilling, even though it has very low potential to produce.

The world-famous, nearly 11 mile-long, mountain-biking Slickrock trail near Moab, Utah, takes e-bike and non-e-bike riders over stunning petrified sand dunes and sea bed remnants.

Sondors’ Electric for Everyone campaign offers up deep-discounted $799 e-bikes

sondors

The electric bicycle industry is still in its adolescent phase, and the budget e-bike category is even younger. That makes a company like Sondors, which debuted its first $500 budget electric bike back in 2015, practically a dinosaur.

But if you thought Sondors wasn’t relevant anymore, then think again. The company not only has an expansive line of diverse e-bike models, but is now launching a new campaign known as Electric For Everyone designed to get more bottoms on e-bike seats. And you’ll want to pay attention to the deals Sondors is including with this campaign.

Want to ride a Fat BABE? Luna introduces new belt-drive electric bike

Luna Cycle, a southern California-based electric bicycle company, has always marched to the beat of their own drummer. That has certainly helped them pump out some pretty impressive and unique new electric bicycles, but has also seen them develop a reputation as a bit more of an adult-oriented electric bike company, if you catch my drift. And the company’s newest offering, the Fat BABE electric bike, seems to fit Luna’s style like a glove on both accounts.

Believe it or not, the lunar rover was almost a lunar electric motorbike

We all remember our history. In 1969, America sent men to the moon. Then, with the main part of the mission accomplished, the next most American thing to do was to send a car up for them to cruise around on.

That’s how the lunar rover became the first electric vehicle on the moon (or rather, the first electric passenger vehicle, as commenters that are smarter than me pointed out). But did you know that at one point, an electric bike was in the running to be the first moon vehicle?
