In a fascinating case that is sure to spark more casual arguments than it settled, a judge was recently forced to make a ruling on whether or not “mime pedaling” counted as truly pedaling an electric bike. Mime pedaling, or the act of casually moving the pedals on an electric bicycle to provide the appearance of pedaling without actually meaningfully contributing to the mechanical locomotive effect of the bike, is a common occurrence on powerful electric bicycles being ridden on throttle-only or with substantial pedal assist motor power. It essentially makes it look like the rider is pedaling, when in…

Prices start at £89,500 for the 737bhp Dual Motor model, for which you get an 800V electrical architecture, four-wheel drive, a 0-62mph time of 3.8sec and 421 miles of WLTP-rated range. Above that sits the Performance with 871bhp, a 0-62mph time of 3.1sec and 346 miles of range. Both cars use a slim, 112kWh nickel-manganese-cobalt battery, an in-house-developed rear motor capable of 600bhp or so and another motor from ZF on the front axle. An RWD variant is potentially in the works, though its purpose would be to lower the entry cost to the range, rather than to be a…

The AMG Hammer is one of those cars that has acquired mythical status among automotive enthusiasts. Rare to the point where most gearheads are unlikely ever to see one in person, it was pivotal in kickstarting the relationship between Mercedes-Benz and AMG, which has led to the high-performance models we know and love today. A variant of an existing Mercedes with a host of upgrades and a boost in the looks department, the AMG Hammer helped the automotive world realize there was an appetite for sporty, performance-oriented sedan models. The model is now a highly prized collectible due to its…

Just 20 years ago, it was still relatively uncommon for a luxury car to use a four-cylinder engine. How things have changed! For most of automotive history, four‑cylinder engines were meant for thrift, not thrust. The idea of a four-cylinder engine in a truck like the Chevrolet Silverado would have sounded like a pretty tough sell a couple of decades ago because a four-cylinder had never been designed to handle the towing demands and torque output required by modern full-size pickup drivers. General Motors took things in a different direction. Instead of chasing horsepower per liter, the TurboMax engine was…

Microsoft just announced the Surface Laptop Ultra, and if you’ve been following our coverage of the NVIDIA RTX Spark chip, you already know the kind of firepower we’re talking about here. The Surface Laptop Ultra is the most powerful laptop Microsoft has ever built. It pairs NVIDIA’s Blackwell RTX GPU with up to 128GB of unified memory, full CUDA support, and 1 petaflop of AI compute. Nvidia As we covered when RTX Spark launched, that is enough to run 120-billion-parameter AI models entirely on the device, without sending a single byte to the cloud. The unified memory is worth paying…

Even middleweight naked bikes now produce power figures that would have embarrassed superbikes from the early 2000s, while electronics packages have become so advanced they resemble miniature MotoGP systems. The problem is that many of these motorcycles deliver speed in such an aggressive way that riders rarely get to enjoy their full potential on actual roads.

Once upon a time, Microsoft had to write off $900 million betting an Arm-based Nvidia chip could power its first flagship Windows portable, the original Microsoft Surface. But today, it’s trying again. Microsoft and Nvidia have just announced the Surface Laptop Ultra, a computer with a new Arm-based Nvidia chip at its core.There’s a lot we don’t know about the 15-inch Surface Laptop Ultra, such as its final specs or the foggiest idea of what it might cost. But Microsoft is promising it’s the most powerful Surface, period: “This is the most powerful thing we’ve ever made,” Microsoft Surface boss…

Local legend has it that Henry ‘Harry’ Frederick Stanley Morgan – just known as HFS these days – built his first motor vehicle because he was tired from cycling over the Malvern Hills.The facts are, I think, a little less romantic. The eventual founder of Morgan Motor Company had plenty of access to cars from the earliest years of the 20th century, when he ran a garage and hire car business in Malvern Link, but it is true that in 1908 he bought a twin-cylinder engine, constructed a single-seat three-wheeler around it and only later decided to put it into production.
