Electric lawnmowers are nothing new, but they usually need a hefty extension cord to seal the deal. This Neuton CE 6 lawnmower changes all of that with their rechargeable battery powered green cutting machine. While the lack of carbon emissions might please you, the $499 price tag might shock you just a bit… if you absolutely must have one, but can’t bear to part with that much dough, you might try your luck at one of your favorite online auctions instead of going the retail route. I’m not sure if the weed whacker in this pic is part of the lawnmower or if it is an accessory.

Awwww.. Noone can blog quite like I can,
Writing posts about Segway and GM.

Alright, GM and Segway have joined forces and upgraded the famous and much maligned dorkmobile. This coalition is being called the Personal Urban Mobility and Accessibility Project, or PUMA. You could call it awkward 2.0, or if you wanted to name it like a movie sequel, we could call it Segway II: Geeks In Cages.

This incarnation is both less strange looking and much more useful. Plus, it has a rollcage. (Anti- wedgie bonus!) Not only does it reach a much higher top speed (a very useful for running away from bullies 35 MPH), but it also has a better range- 35 miles. So basically, you can drive at top speed for an hour on a single charge of the lithium batteries.

Sadly, if you want to have a demolition derby in these things, you’re going to have to disable the internal communications device that prevents it from colliding with other PUMAs. Why is it that safety features always take the fun out of things?

Just when I thought that auto manufacturers were running out of great names for car, a British company unveils the Lightning GT electric supercar concept. Unlike the Tesla Electric car that is about to be produced in the US, the Lightning uses advanced battery technology that can take you 250 miles on one charge, while only taking ten minutes to fully charge the batteries. Add to that a 12-20 year lifespan of the batteries, and the fact that electric motors require so little maintenance, and you’ve got a winning combination.
