STYLE:

British motorcycle maker Royal Enfield has taken one of its most iconic models and blacked out the entire machine for a timeless, stealthy look.

The Classic 500 combines vintage, industrial post-war design with a trusty, reliable engine to create a motorcycle that gives riders the bare simple pleasures of motorcycling without any of the modern fuss. Replacing its original chrome aesthetic now is a new flat stealth black paint job, a look that will truly last the ages.

Design aside, the motorcycle is powered by a 499cc motor pushing out 27 horsepower and 30 pound-feet of torque, making it a fun, approachable bike to ride whether you’re a veteran rider or you’ve just earned your license. With a lower displacement, fuel economy is also a great advantage, and coupled with a relatively affordable price tag of $5,800 USD, this Royal Enfield Classic 500 Stealth Black is definitely a great option for those looking to jump into the world of motorcycles.

Car enthusiasts will know that Audi has been working on an EV for quite some time, but while the GT is still in its concept stages, the German automakers have decided to roll out another electric vehicle instead, but it’s not a car — it’s the brand’s first electric four-wheeled scooter, also named the E-Tron.

The E-Tron can be described as an electric scooter combined with a skateboard, carrying four wheels instead of the two that you normally find from services such as Lime, Bird, or Skip. Performance-wise, the E-Tron scooter can reach up to a maximum speed of 12.5 mph, with a range of also 12.5 miles. The gadget weighs around 26 pounds, with the battery built into the handle bar accompanied by a charge indicator. Much like a motorcycle, acceleration is achieved through twisting the bar, and to brake, you simply twist in the reverse direction. For safety, front and rear lights have also been included, with the rear lights capable of acting as brake lights. As a next step for the E-Tron scooter, Audi has announced plans to build in Bluetooth connectivity.

For those interested in an Audi EV and don’t want to wait years for the Concept GT to turn into a reality, the E-Tron scooter will be available some time in 2020, with a price tag of around €2,000 EUR, or roughly $2,240 USD.
