Peugeot mass produced the first electric scooter 15 years ago. Way back in 1996, the 40 km range of the Peugeot Scoot’Elec produced a chorus of yawns, but when the new E-Vivacity hits showrooms later this year; it will be greeted by an eco-friendly public. Emissions aside, its remarkably low cost of use will push this scoot’.
Though its 4kW engine is the equivalence of a frugal 50cc scooter, its running costs will be one tenth as it recharges from a domestic power point at regular tariffs. The Lithium Ion Cobalt battery has many advantages: it allows a minimum of 1,000 intensive charging/discharging cycles without any harm and without a memory effect, meaning it can cover over 40,000 km under normal usage. The Battery Management System monitors the charge and the temperature of the different elements, ensures the safety of the system, manages battery life and a full charge takes around four hours at a 230 V – 16 A domestic socket, using the bike’s on-board charger and charging cable, which reside beneath the seat.
While a complete charge on empty takes four hours, the first two hours recover 80% of total battery capacity, while the last two hours are used to level out the monoblocs. The sophistication of the electronic management helps to optimise the energy output and life of the batteries. The new E-Vivacity hits showrooms late this year, it will be entering into a far more ecologically-aware marketplace.

When I think of a Honda; I think of an average car that teens get as a first car. Honda a brand for the middle-average man seem to be focusing on the future. With talks of a more advance car that Honda is developing, the car of the future is right around the corner. Honda is also saying the their new car will run on hydrogen or h2o. With an exterior similar to a Lambo, this car is definitely sexy! Either way the sound of hydrogen in a car already seems pretty cool. This car will help the earth and will have its competitors on their heels. Watch out Lambo!
my table has a flat tire, so erin and i drive it
to the church square that fixes them.
i was driving, because i always drive,
and when i drive with erin i drive without pants.
we arrive, and i barely have enough space to back
the table into the foyer, where the pastor in overalls
tells us he’ll only charge us more than we can afford.
i say ok and do a KKK turn out of the foyer.
the furry armadillos have been following us
ever since we crossed into church property.
they look like anteaters with greyhound bodies,
and fur like golden retrievers. erin didn’t think they
were cute. they didn’t think much of her either.
they are all mine. goddamn they’re fucking cute.
the matron loves it when i scratch both her cheeks at once.
it’s so satisfying.
james finds us and i’ve forgotten all about my
flat-tired table.
we walk to a neo-buddhist neo-shrine, i think it’s inspired
by the japanese, but i bet the armadillos had something
to do with it. they seem quite at home there.
it seems just a little too small for humans of our size,
but we fit ok. there’s a small walkway down the middle
with some single-stream fountains flowing right onto it.
they would soak your feet if you walked down it.
at the bottom is a cast iron fence
about a foot and a half off the ground.
the armadillos tread here a lot, i can tell.
Great news for Acura owners! For the second consecutive year, Acura has received the Automotive Lease Guide (ALG) 2010 Residual Value Award for Best Luxury Brand. According to ALG, Acura’s line of luxury performance vehicles is expected to retain the highest percentage of their original price after a three-year period. Acura beat out other luxury brands such as Audi, BMW, Lexus and Mercedes-Benz for the highly coveted award.
This means when you lease a new Acura you’ll get a much better rate.
Also, when you sell your Acura later, you’ll retain much better value than the other cars.

High school driver education may be the most convenient way to learn driving skills, but it doesn’t always produce safer drivers. Parents also should set good examples when they drive while reinforcing the lessons their teens learned in drivers ed.
Restrict night driving.
Most nighttime fatal crashes among young drivers occur between 9 p.m. and midnight, so you can reduce their risk of a crash by restricting nighttime driving after 9 p.m. The problem isn’t just that late-night driving requires more skill. Outings late at night tend to be recreational. In these circumstances, even teens who usually follow all the rules can easily be distracted or encouraged to take risks.
Restrict passengers.
Teen passengers in a vehicle can distract a beginning driver and/or lead to greater risk-taking. Because young drivers often transport their friends, there’s a teen passenger problem as well as a teen driver problem. In 2003, 59 percent of teenage passenger deaths occurred in vehicles driven by another teenager. While night driving with passengers is particularly lethal, many fatal crashes with teen passengers occur during the day. The best policy is to restrict teen passengers, especially multiple teens, all the time.
Supervise practice driving.
Take an active role in helping your teenager learn how to drive. Plan a series of practice sessions in a wide variety of situations, including night driving. Give beginners time to work up to challenges like driving in heavy traffic or on the freeway. Supervised practice should be spread over at least six months and continue even after a teenager graduates from a learner’s permit to a restricted or full license.
Remember you are a role model.
New drivers learn a lot by example, so practice safe driving. Teens who have crashes and violations often have parents with poor driving records.
Require safety belt use.
Don’t assume that seat belt use when you’re in the car with your 16-year-old means belts will be used all the time, especially when your child is out with peers. Remember that belt use is lower among teenagers than older people. Insist on belts all the time.
Prohibit driving after drinking.
Make it clear that it’s illegal and highly dangerous for a teenager to drive after drinking alcohol or using any other drug. While alcohol isn’t a factor in most crashes of 16-year-old drivers, even small amounts of alcohol will impair teens.
Choose vehicles for safety, not image.
Teenagers should drive vehicles that reduce their chances of a crash and offer protection in case they do crash. For example, small cars don’t offer the best protection in a crash. Avoid cars with performance images that might encourage speeding. Also, be mindful that certain vehicles with a higher center of gravity may be more prone to roll over.

They do call them specials for a reason. The latest Top gear Episode features the trio treking through Bolivian rainforests, and up Chilean moutain ranges. With Top gear plot & episode writing lacking in recent episodes, this really does make up for a lot of lost joy. If you haven’t seen the North Pole Special, African Special, Or Vietnamese Special, be sure to catch those as well.
