This bike has been designed to take on any terrain, and when we say any terrain, we mean any terrain. We’ve all seen bikes that drive around on land, right? (duh) We’ve also heard the stories about the dude who could walk on water. The creators of the Ultra Bike dared to ask; “what if we could combine those two?” Thus, the Ultra Bike was born. A bike that will handle snow, sand, and water without a hitch. The creators of the Ultra Bike are a company known as Robo Systems – a team of engineers setting out to build…

Woolworths, the popular South African retailer, is looking to bring electric vehicles (EVs) to its large fleet of delivery vehicles.

Customers in Gauteng, Durban, or Cape Town will be the first to see the new fleet in action. Woolworths has been trialing these new EV’s over the past ten months, checking if it is a viable option. Woolworths has opted to go through with the plan – meaning the trial…

But it is one of the first to offer the same speed without the need for certification. Usually, these methods are expensive for small companies to implement. And it often takes a lot of work to get those methods working. Ukheshe is making it so that no hassle is required. If you’ve never heard of Ukheshe, don’t worry. We’ve got you covered. Ukheshe Technologies is an African company on the lookout for ways…

Fast charging is something Vivo tends to pride itself on, with 120W charging becoming the company’s standard for its latest smartphones. But if the reports are true, it looks like Vivo could be leveling up its game once again. Rumours indicate that a 200W charger has just been certified in China, with Vivo beginning production on the chargers. If we were to see a 200W charger, it could be released along with Vivo’s iQOO 10 Pro smartphone. We could even see the smartphone before the end of the year. We could also see a 65W wireless fast-charge feature with the…

Google is making its own Assistant a lot less useful over the coming days. For some reason known only to Google, its handy location-based reminder feature is leaving us forever. A location-based reminder was a useful feature for those that needed reminding when arriving at a certain location. For example, you could ask Google Assistant to remind you to take the chicken out of the freezer when you get home. You’d get a notification once you arrived home, and nobody would be in trouble for forgetting to defrost the chicken. Soon, however, you’ll have to remember that yourself. Why Google,…

After ages of speculation, Capcom has finally revealed its Resident Evil 4 Remake during Sony’s State of Play showcase. That doesn’t mean it’ll be a PlayStation exclusive, though. The game is set to launch on Xbox and Steam on the same day. Speaking of which, Capcom also offered us a release date – 24 March 2023.  And Capcom hasn’t just left us with an announcement and release date. The company dropped a cinematic trailer to tide us over until we get more news in the coming months. The trailer was captured on a PS5, and it shows. The game looks…

The South African Post Office has introduced a new initiative that will allow medication to be sent to its branches for collection. Specifically, this initiative is for patients of governement clinics who can’t always reach the clinic before closing time. The service will be available across all 342 branches across the country, except for those in the Western Cape. The initiative will be a massive help for those who live closer to a Post Office than a clinic. Some of these people aren’t able to reach their clinic before closing time. Since P.O. branches are open from Monday to Saturday…

Eskom has completed Unit 4 at Kusile Power Station. The coal-powered power station was handed over the unit to Eskom’s generation division on Tuesday. This could be a positive sign for the rest of Eskom’s year. And if it isn’t, we’re used to it. The power station underwent “vigorous testing and optimisation” over the past five months, according to Eskom. It was connected to the national grid in December last year, with it only being considered officially a part of Eskom’s power sources on Tuesday, 31 May. During testing, Unit 4 performed as Eskom meant it to. 720MW was sent…
