The Gazelle team reached out to CleanTechnica with one of their Gazelle Easyflow ebikes for us to run through the paces for a couple weeks so we could share the experience. After spending some time – and several hundred kilometers – with the bike, we’re back to share our experience with you.
Zero gave Robert and I a Zero FX for a month, to put it through its paces. As readers may know, I’ve been a Zero FX(S) owner since 2013, and writing about Zeros since 2009. The great thing about Zero is it has always tried to keep prices as reasonable as possible, considering how expensive batteries have been. And as batteries have gotten cheaper, Zero has passed that savings along to customers, while also improving the components and build quality.
With our factory fresh Tesla Model 3 back from the body shop, and Memorial Day weekend upon us, it was time for my family’s first real road trip in our new electric car. As first-time EV owners, how would we handle the trip? Would range anxiety kick in? Would we get stranded by the side of the road, out of juice?

This was kindly lent to me by Annie Cooper, the Sales Manager at Sandicliffe Nissan in Nottingham.
The Toyota Mirai is a hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicle (FCEV), which makes it a rare breed anywhere in the world, let alone the cleantech hub that is Southern California. It’s electric drivetrain and traction battery make the drive feel a lot like normal electric vehicles, while the hydrogen fueling carries forward the 5 minute gas station fueling experience.
InMotion’s Solowheel is an innovative Electric Unicycle (EUC) that comes to the market with a very respectable balance of price, performance and range for riders looking for a portable, electrified Last Mile solution.
After 6 months with my electric Mercedes, it was of no use for us on 170 days. I like the car, but … I’ll love to sell it as soon as autonomous service is available for us.
Honda is finally starting to move into electric vehicles with its Honda Clarity Plug-in Hybrid, and just a few days ago, Honda brought the Honda Clarity Electric to dealerships in California and Oregon. We spent a week with the fully electric flavor of the Clarity family and came away loving some parts of it … and not so excited about other aspects. Let’s start with the specs.
