No Sleep Till Bedtime

The Yamaha EC-f and Honda EV-Cub scooters

Mon, 09 Nov 2009 00:44:49 -0800

Over at the Tokyo Auto Show last week there were a couple of new vehicles; both scooters, though one of looks more like an X-Box with two wheels attached to it. The first and second photos are of the Yamaha EC-f and EC-fs, respectively, both of which are electric scooters with lithium ion batter packs. They may look somewhat Tron-esque but sadly probably aren’t going to go much faster than around 30 MPH. I’ll admit that the green one looks a bit silly, but that black one looks like it would have a hover mode, shooting you off into the night sky. The third & fourth photos are of the newly augmented Honda EV-Cub, the rebirth of Honda’s classic cycle. Like the Yamaha this one has electric motors powering both wheels and a battery pack of some kind, details are still sketchy. But judging by its aesthetics it looks like it has a nice mixture of odl and new, with a creme colored body but also shiny blue LEDs popping up in places like the wheels. It’s almost like a Vespa from the future.

It's alright, being someone’s good luck charm.

Tunguska event, 1908

Although the Tunguska event is believed to be the largest impact event on land in Earth's recent history,[8] impacts of similar size in remote ocean areas would have gone unnoticed[9] before the advent of global satellite monitoring in the 1960s and 1970s.
