Parkour! BMW just released their new CE 02 electric two-wheeler, which they say is neither an emotorbike or emoped - it's an “eParkourer.” Despite the confusing semantics, its performance capabilities are clear: the CE 02 tops out at respectable 59 mph and claims 55 miles of range. ​

KTM just introduced their Machina Revelator SX Prime electric road bike, which features the new Bosch Performance Line SX mid-drive motor, and weighs an impressive 29.3 pounds. 

Thok recently introduced their Project 4 prototype e-mtb, which will be a departure from their typical heavy, high-powered models, to a mountain bike that feels lighter and more “natural.” They also partnered with Belgian company Materialise to 3D print the aluminum frame, speeding up the prototype process. 

The Brits at The Little Car Company typically deal in downsizing famous cars into small electric vehicles (see Bughatti Baby II).
