It might have lines taken from a 2000-era video game (probably this one — which is still amazing, just by the way) but that’s just going to make a certain type of person want it even more. But look under the skin of Elon Musk’s new Cybertruck and you’ll find plenty (more) to like about it.
Step aside, Tron and Akira bikes, because Blackstone Tek (BST), a South African carbon fibre wheel manufacturer has developed the most sci-fi electric motorbike ever.
Electric cars are often seen as one of the great hopes for tackling climate change. With new models arriving in showrooms, major carmakers retooling for an electric future, and a small but growing number of consumers eager to convert from gas guzzlers, EVs appear to offer a way for us to decarbonise with little change to our way of life.

A mint-condition Datsun 160Z will net you a substantial amount of cash from the right person. Heck, even a rusted-to-crap 160Z will find an interested buyer. It’s folks like those who should check out the newly open-to-the-public Datsun Heritage Museum in Bothaville, Free State.
The all-electric Mini, the Cooper SE, was announced today, and it features a 270km max range. Here’s hoping we’ll see it in South Africa.
