Everything else aside, electric motors have dramatically superior acceleration

I think there should also be a market for selling old-school European-style roadsters with electric motors, but that might just be me

Had a left field idea. Vauxhall Ampera. There's also the Chevy equivalent that Jonny Smith had.

I remember way back in the day when they used to laugh at Japanese cars too, even though the likes of Toyota, Honda and Mazda have always made reliable motors.
It’s always racism

Mars Express & Holy Motors both 1st time watches, looking forward to future rewatches, especially HM. Forgot what a banger soundtrack Repo Man has.

In NL the name has been co-opted as well. From fun, specialised mountain bikes made for snow and sand to basically crap scooter replacements.
They have tiny fat wheels, overpowered motors, cheap parts and are almost exclusively owned by idiots trying to avoid the helmet requirements for a scooter

The big Technic sets (cranes, diggers etc) that use Hub based motors allow coding, either using Lego's visual block editor or with Python. Many can be rebuilt into GBCs (Great Ball Contraptions) and other dynamic creations that require their own code. Huge fun. Have a look at PV Productions website

Not that bothered about motors as a rule, but ain’t that a beaut? 💛

GM — HOLD 🟡

General Motors (GM) is rated Hold as strong free cash flow offsets a stretched balance sheet and thin margins. The stock looks fairly valued, but leverage and limited earnings quality keep the upside case cautious.

I only recently discovered that Lego kits with motors, code the motor and app so that it cannot operate in any other model, utterly destroying the whole ethos of the product. Very disappointing. 😥

The three main types of hybrid vehicles sold in the US are:
​Mild Hybrids (MHEV): Uses a small electric battery (often 48V) to assist the engine; cannot drive on electricity alone.
​Full Hybrids (HEV): Uses gas and electric motors; self-charges via regenerative braking (e.g., Toyota Prius).

Boston Dynamics cut Atlas's hand to 4 fingers and direct-drive motors (13 DOF). Tesla's and 1X's hands both went the other way, chasing ~25 DOF with tendons. Same problem, opposite eng…

Boston Dynamics cut Atlas's pinky and its motor count -- while Tesla and 1X are adding both
Boston Dynamics just redesigned Atlas's hand to do LESS -- fewer fingers, fewer motors -- while Tesla and 1X both went the opposite direction. One of these bets is wrong.

E. coli's DnaB helicase, key in DNA replication, efficiently unwinds DNA when correctly loaded, challenging the old view of limited ATP-motor coupling efficiency. PMID:42373613, Nat Commun 2026, @NatureComms https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-026-73652-6 #Medsky #Pharmsky #RNA #ASHG #ESHG 🧪
Cellular replisomes are powered by flex-fuel motors for unwinding DNA | Nature Communications
DNA replication relies on hexameric, ring-shaped helicases to unwind parental DNA for supporting fork progression over tens of thousands of base pairs. Oddly, biochemical studies have suggested that, on their own, replicative helicases are rather limited motors that struggle to couple rapid movement to nucleotide turnover (typically believed to be solely ATP). Here, single-molecule studies reveal that when properly loaded, the Escherichia coli (E. coli) replicative helicase, DnaB, is a tremendously fast single-stranded DNA translocase that moves up to three times more rapidly than the replisome (3 knt/s). Translocation is highly processive, resistant to pulling force/high salt, and can displace short, 3’-tailed DNA duplexes without apparent changes in speed. Surprisingly, we find that the loader for DnaB, DnaC, can use any rNTP or dATP for depositing DnaB onto ssDNA and that the helicase itself also must hydrolyze nucleotide for stable loading. DnaB translocation also turns out to be s

Die letzte Schlacht um das Ende des Verbrenner-Motors tobt in Brüssel und die Lobbyarbeit von Auto- & Mineralöllobby läuft auf Hochtouren. Jetzt wollen Teile der Lobby das EU-weite Ende ihres fossilen Geschäftsmodells ab 2035 mithilfe extrem rechter Parteien verhindern www.spiegel.de/wirtschaft/e...
(S+) EU-Parlament und das Verbrenner-Aus: Autoindustrie sucht Nähe zur extremen Rechten
Das EU-Parlament entscheidet bald, wie stark das Aus vom Verbrenner aufgeweicht wird. Es könnte auf Stimmen der Rechten ankommen. In Brüssel haben Vertreter der Autolobby kaum noch Berührungsängste.

Like to see what an illegal battery looks like? Coz it's not the battery that makes an electric motorcycle illegal, it's the use of non-compliant EAPC motors or settings built into the menu selection on controllers set beyond the EAPC regs. Bit like illegal unregistered petrol bikes yet it continues
The businesses are also calling for a database to examine the link between illegal bikes and road safety.

On his podcast, Clark Howard accused Ford (NYSE:F) and General Motors (NYSE:GM) of shrinking supply on purpose: "Ford and GM both made a decision along with European brands, that they would rather sell a lot less metal. They call it metal. A lot fewer cars for a lot more money than get market share"
