Italian architect Luca Agnelli is fascinated by the past, and his workshop specializes in custom-made bicycles. Among other things, he also makes them out of tanks, but most recently he made it out of a Citroën 2CV or spačka (1949-1990), as we affectionately called this popular Citroën model with two horses, which mobilized many Slovenians and was also produced in Cimos in Koper, or even earlier in Tomos. His mask was combined with the rear of the equally famous cargo tricycle Doniselli Duomo, and the 2CV Paris electric tricycle was created, which will delight all die-hard retro fans.
Electric mobility
Electric bikes are growing like mushrooms after the rain and we have a feeling that there is something on the market for every pocket and taste. But that won't quite hold. While compact and city electric bikes are plentiful, you will be hard pressed to find an electric mountain bike. Which is nothing tragic, because there is Bultaco Brinco, a superb electric mountain bike, which will make you not feel the need to have a wide choice. The bike of the comeback brand on the scene is a hybrid between a bicycle and a motocross bike.

Once an invader, always an invader. Elon Musk, founder of Tesla Motors and SpaceX, is moving humanity to Mars! At the International Nautical Congress (IAC), the technological visionary presented his plans to colonize the red planet, which could be reached by the ITS spacecraft (SpaceX) in just 30 days. 200 thousand dollars will have to be paid for the "air ticket" to Mars. But Tusk warns. The journey is likely to be very dangerous and travelers must be prepared to die for it. The first vessel to go to Mars is said to carry the Heart of Gold, based on the fictional vessel of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy book. Will humans already be an interplanetary garden in 2022? We recommend watching the presentation video!
For Peugeot, entering the world of cycling is nothing new. Did you know that it started manufacturing bicycles as early as 1882, and powered by an internal combustion engine eight years later? The production of cars and bicycles were separated in 1926, but in 2011 the French returned bicycles to the "mother" again. The Peugeot e-Bike eUO1s is not Peugeot's first bike, we only remember the AE21 hybrid from 2013 or the e-Bike eF01, which was presented together with the new generation of the Peugeot 5008 model, which can be integrated in the luggage compartment. Well, for more serious urban challenges, there is the e-bike Peugeot e-Bike eU01s.
The Italian company Pininfarina, whose main activity is the design of means of transport, has launched its first electric bicycle.

The Karma-Fisker was definitely a crowd pleaser and gained millions of fans around the world. When his story ended in 2014 due to the bankruptcy of the company, the automotive world was very disappointed. Its uniqueness was represented by an extravagant design and a drive that was always electric. The car solved the range problem by using a 260-horsepower GM engine to generate electricity. Quite similar to the Chevy Volt (Opel Ampera), but on a different level. The Chinese and their capital helped the phoenix rise from the ashes. They intend to create a new successful automotive story at the Fisker-Karma site.
A spacecraft with a Facebook satellite exploded in Florida yesterday, which greatly upset Mark Zuckerberg, who pointed the finger at Elon Musk, the alpha and omega of Tesla Motors, for the 95 million damage.

The new Tesla Model S P100D boasts better acceleration than Ferrari and Porsche! American electric car manufacturer Tesla Motors has outdone itself again. The Model S was equipped with a new battery with a capacity of 100 kilowatt hours, which enables not only acceleration from zero to 100 km/h in a mere 2.5 seconds, but also a range between 506 and 611 kilometers. In practice, this means that it transports us from Ljubljana to Vienna or Milan without filling up in between. So far, no electric car has been able to charge that much.
