Called the “world’s first e-quadricycle,” a small EV from Ample International was on display at the Electric Vehicle Symposium (EVS26) in Los Angeles this week. Named the Eo, the one-seat (or two- or three-seat) vehicle has a maximum speed of 65 kilometers per hour (40 miles per hour) and has a range of 200 km (124 miles), according to a representative at the booth. Ample’s Shida Zheng told the Neon Tommy website, that, “It is a four-wheeled motorcycle, completely powered by electricity.”

The design is certainly interesting. There are no side mirrors, as the Eo relies instead on backward-facing cameras that pump a live feed into a screen on the left side of the wraparound dashboard. The interior is unlike any other vehicle we’ve seen, with a driver’s seat up front and a flexible space in back that has two seats that can fold down from the sides of the vehicle, sort of like on trains. Since they’re directly across from each other, we imagine knees will be touching.

Lewis Hamilton ran a 31-lap stint at the end of the race and still had enough tyre life to attack Nico Rosberg for seventh.

BMW did quite a bit to differentiate the new 3 Series from the old one, but arguably the biggest development in that department is the splitting of the model line. Because the new 3 Series is only the sedan and wagon. The coupe and cabrio are branching off as the 4 Series, similar to the 6 Series (as distinct from the 5 Series), the old 8 Series (separate from the 7 Series) and what’s expected to emerge of the 2 Series from the new 1 Series.

Following earlier spy shots of the 4 Series convertible with its roof up in the rain and in the snow, this is our first look at the upcoming new model being driven the way it’s meant to be driven: with its top down and the sun shining.

Unfortunately our view is a little obscured by all the swirly camouflage, so we’ll have to wait until its anticipated debut sometime next year to see the whole package. But you can check out the spy shots now for a sneak preview.

Sebastian Vettel says the change in approach with tyres in F1 has given drivers more opportunities to improve their position in races.

Hey everyone!

My name is Josiah Snyder, I'm a member at the model builders forum and decided to check out this forum. I'm 15 and I'm from alabama.  I build mostly resto rods, and rat rods! I am looking forward to seeing what goes on around here. 

Thanks

Josiah
