And while Zeekr was set to be a premium fully-electric automaker, the fact that its debut model, the 001, had all the design hallmarks of a Lynk & Co did leave many…

      Dear Rempits, You Should REALLY Consider An Electric Motorbike

      You could have a faster and cheaper hooning tool, while everyone else can get a better night’s sleep… While electric motorcycles at present follow the old Honda cub marketing strategy of being a green and friendly in-town runabout, there could actually the argument here that what these tailpipe-less two-wheelers offer may also be a perfect fit for the rempit crowd too. And just to prove that is the case, here are just 3 reasons why these rowdy bunch of road rioters should all be instantly trading in their petrol-powered kapchais for the all-electric alternatives.  1.

      The New G60 BMW 530i M Sport Costs RM 430,100 In Malaysia

      …or for those brave enough to just accept a 2-year warranty, this BMW 5-er could be yours for RM 399,800.  When BMW first debuted the 530i M Sport locally last month, it had neglected to put an actual price tag on this newly-revealed variant of G60 5-er.
