EV Adventures

Fall in the Mountains

If you’re tired of reading about sweet e-bikes, then you can keep scrolling. My pops recently was convinced to sell his Yamaha 250 and get a Sur-Ron X e-bike to match mine. We met up in the mountains and made a weekend of putting these bikes to the test.

We did some trail riding through the beautiful Aspens that are changing colors.

We watched the first snowfall of the season from the house.

Then we raced the hell out of these things to see who had the better bike and who was the better rider.

I don’t want to spoil the results, but it was me (yes, I am wearing my son Jack on my chest and no, I did not wear him while participating in these events).

Stay tuned for a future video.

No Autonomous Ferrari

Giphy

There are no plans for Ferrari to go autonomous. Ferrari believes that its customers wouldn't spend money on the computer to enjoy the drive. Ferrari is working on plans for electrification which we’ve had a taste of with its hybrid vehicles in recent years from the LaFerrari to the more recent SF90.
