Awesomely Weird Alibaba EV of the Week: This 120 kW Chinese electric pickup truck

Most of the fun and wacky electric vehicles I find while trawling Alibaba to feature in my Awesomely Weird Alibaba Electric Vehicle of the Week series are notable for being fairly far-fetched.

EUNORAU G20 review: Updated affordable mid-drive cargo e-bike is better than ever

Electric cargo bikes are one of the most fascinating e-bike categories to me because of just how much creativity exists in the industry and how much utility the e-bikes offer.
