Fiat's new Topolino Vilebrequin is the cutest existential crisis on four wheels. It's a beachy, turtle-print electric go-kart for the French Riviera, with a top speed not worth mentioning. It’s slow, it’s silly, and I'm obsessed. captainelectro.com/cars/the-cutes…

The Beachman '64 is a 1960s cafe racer that’s had its noisy, oily engine swapped for a silent electric motor. With speeds up to 45 mph, and a 70-mile range, it’s the perfect way to have a mid-life crisis without the expense of a Porsche. READ HERE👇👇👇 captainelectro.com/motorcycles/th…

China's new electric tourist boat, the Yujian 77, is a 161-foot silent cruiser with the battery power of 40 Teslas and the breakneck speed of a gentle jog. It’s quiet, clean, and maybe, just maybe, a sensible glimpse of the future. captainelectro.com/boats/chinas-n…

Honda N-One e: is a tiny electric kei car with 63 horsepower and a big secret: it can power your house. It’s a rolling power bank with the face of a friendly robot and go-faster stripes. Slow and small, but charmingly sensible. READ👇👇👇 captainelectro.com/cars/honda-bui…

Meet the Bestune Pony, an electric car so adorable and cheap ($4,800!) it makes you want to squeal. It has 42 horsepower and comes in pink. Naturally, you can't buy it in the US. Here's why I'm dreaming about it anyway. captainelectro.com/cars/my-new-fa…

You can now get your motorcycle license on a silent, sleek electric bike. LiveWire's new course lets you skip the dreaded DMV riding test and the drama of learning on a gas-guzzler. It's about time learning to ride wasn't terrifying. captainelectro.com/motorcycles/yo…

This electric dirt bike has more torque than a pickup truck and a brain smarter than my last phone. The Stark VARG MX 1.2 is an 80-hp silent weapon that’s cheaper to run and might just be the most fun you can have on two wheels. READ 👇👇 captainelectro.com/motorcycles/el…

Honda's finally crashing the electric motorcycle party, and they might be fashionably late. Their new bike looks sharp, but with a rumored 62-mile range, it might only get you to the after-party. Still, it's Honda. This could be big. captainelectro.com/motorcycles/at…

The electric horsepower war has reached a new level of magnificent madness. BYD's Yangwang U9 Track Edition isn't just powerful; it's a 3,019-horsepower, time-bending land missile that can also dance. The Future is gloriously silly. captainelectro.com/cars/is-3000-h…
