ATV/UTV news

Launched at a cyberpunk-inspired event at Los Angeles, the Cybertruck has played host to the gazillion memes flooding the internet, and while at it, Elon Musk gave us “One more thing.” – The “Cyberquad” electric ATV. It rolled onto the bed of the steel truck and juiced up using the Cybertruck’s massive batteries.

Twiterratis, however, has not spared the Cyberquad as well. They have reasons to believe that "the Tesla ATV appears to share parts with the Yamaha Raptor 700R SE".

Several such BMWs are currently in use in Greece and the system is widely spread in the rest of Europe and in Asia, where it fits various big motorcycles and ATVs.

In Japan, when it comes to towing cars, things tend to look extremely innovative. Ok, but this is the motorcycles section, you’ll say and I couldn’t agree more. That is why I would like to share with you the towing Honda Goldwing, a specially adapted piece of machinery which will hook you up with an illegal parking ticket if you’re traveling to Japan and take the bad habits with you. Who knows, maybe it would even be present around the globe.
