A crafty Russian inventory type made a bicycle that can transform from a San Jose, California lowrider style bike (know what I mean Shawna?) to a super tall circus style bike.  The best part is he doesn't even have to stop to do the transforming.  I actually think this thing…

Aptera Calls It Quits

The writing was on the wall when, a few months ago, Aptera started refunding customer deposits, but it is still quite sad.  I was actually on the waiting list for an Aptera 2e, and waited a loong time for what turns out to be nothing as Aptera has just announced…
