The electric motorcycle you can wear
The electric 3-wheeled motorcycle you can wear is apparently worn as an exo-skeleton with seven artificial vertebra (well, they would hardly be real), 36 controlling pneumatic muscles and two linear actuators. It's also got a pneumatically attached helmet. Lovely - what happens if you fall off? Does your head stay with the bike because it's safer??

Mygreenwheels comes of age in the Times” Paris” style!
It was a pleasant surprise to find this site acknowledged as an authority on BEVs by that iconic bastion of the world’s media, the Times of London. What an uplifting start to 2008 especially as this site has never been officially “launched”! Better still was the news that Bertrand Delanöe, the Mayor of Paris, announced his intention to unleash none other than 2000 BEVs onto the Paris road system in an attempt to reduce the chronic traffic congestion that one is familiar with in that city.

Mitsubishi's sporty electric car with x10 battery capacity
The i MiEV SPORT concept car was revealed by Mitsubishi at the 40th Tokyo Motor Show. The name stands for Mitsubishi innovative Electric Vehicle and they claim that this model "maximises the sporty possibilities of a zero emissions electric vehicle". I rather think Tesla might have something to say about that, and it looks more like a compact city car than a sports model, but let's have a closer look anyway.

ZAP Xebra 4-door electric car coming to London
Lots of UK EV fans will be delirious at the prospect of a four-door electric car, especially one that's priced at just over US$10,000, so that should console them for the realisation that it's bit closely related to the good old, so-uncool-it's-cool Reliant Robin

Whisper it - the inflatable electric car for less than $3,000
Now this is what I call news.
Some extremely bright guys in San Francisco who are "only talking to venture capitalists these days" have seriously brought out an inflatable electric car AND they're planning to price it from below $3,000 in some markets. That's less than the cost of the battery in most other EVs.
