January 8th, 2010 admin
A spate of accidents involving mobility scooters may prompt the British House of Commons to debate requiring people who use the vehicles to face strict training and licensing requirements. The vehicles are exempt from motor safety laws, even when used on public roads, so there’s little the cops can do if someone’s involved in an accident. It’s actually something of a problem.

You will be forgiven for not knowing Piaggio sells a plug-in hybrid three-wheeled scooter because aside from not selling it in the U.S., the Mp3 125 Hybrid has been a flop. The Italian company hopes giving the gas-electric ride a bigger engine and better performance will change that. The Euro-only Mp3 300ie is a bigger brother to the first-ever...

There is seemingly no end to the outlandish concepts at the Tokyo Auto Show that push the boundaries of design , if not practicality.

French automaker Peugeot-Citroen is going nuts for electric vehicles, but rather than building them it will slap its logo on boatloads of Mitsubishis.
