It's been a minute since we heard new information about GoPro's smart helmet plans. But there's some news on that front, building on the solid structure the action camera maker acquired when it bought Australian smart helmet maker Forcite back in 2024.

Before electric scooters were cool—or even a thing—the streets of East Germany were buzzing with the unmistakable whirr of the Simson Schwalbe. First introduced in 1964, the smoky two-stroke scooter became a beloved icon, with over a million units sold before production wrapped in the mid-’80s. Fast forward to today,…

I've been thinking about transportation since before I could spell that word. That's probably something that comes with growing up riding public buses and trains to get to school every day. Later on, I'd learn to ride a bicycle, drive, and (of course) ride a motorcycle. And at various times in…

Chinese motorcycles have come a long way in recent years, and if there’s one thing they’re especially leaning into, it’s the sportbike segment. There’s a clear pattern here: aggressive designs, sharp angles, and futuristic styling that often skews toward the flashy side. Some might call it over-the-top, but there’s no…

Think back to last week, which in today's society feels like ages ago. But at the time, I told you that your representatives had voted, in secret, to sell off your public lands. At the time, it was 11,000 acres in Nevada and Utah which, in itself, would be cause for…
