Lawrence brothers OUT of Ernee MXoN 2026!

Hunter and Jett Lawrence, two of Australia’s leading motocross riders, will be absent from the 2026 Motocross of Nations (MXoN) in Ernee. Hunter Lawrence confirmed on the PulpMX show with Steve Matthes that both brothers have decided to skip the event, citing the need for a break after an intense and demanding season. This announcement follows Hunter’s earlier indication during a Honda press scrum that they would be taking October off, raising hopes they might still compete at MXoN, which have now been dashed. The decision extends beyond just the MXoN, with the Lawrence brothers also withdrawing from other major events such as the French Supercross and the AusX Open. Hunter explained that the relentless schedule over the past six to seven years has left them with minimal off-season time, often limited to just a couple of weeks. The team and riders feel a pause is necessary to recuperate and maintain their long-term performance and wellbeing, emphasising that this is a temporary break rather than a permanent withdrawal from international competition. Steve Matthes highlighted the significance of the decision on social media, noting that Hunter explicitly stated the choice to step back from these high-profile events for the year. The Lawrence brothers’ absence will be felt keenly by fans and competitors alike, given their status as top contenders and crowd favourites. Their decision underscores the physical and mental toll that continuous competition can have on elite athletes in the demanding world of motocross. Looking ahead, the Lawrence team is likely to focus on recovery and preparation for future seasons, with the intention to return refreshed and ready to compete at the highest level. Their break from the 2026 MXoN and other international events may also open opportunities for emerging riders to step into the spotlight. For now, the priority remains on health and longevity, a reminder of the challenges faced by professional motocross riders navigating an increasingly packed racing calendar.

The Best Electric Scooters Under $1000 on Amazon in 2026

The electric scooter market under $1000 has seen significant advancements, with models now offering a blend of premium features, practical range, and improved ride quality that were previously unavailable at this price point. Amazon has emerged as a preferred platform for purchasing these scooters, thanks to its reliable shipping, customer service, and return policies. The focus has shifted from mere specifications to real-world performance, comfort, and ownership experience, making these scooters viable options for daily commuting and light off-road use. Among the standout models, the Segway ZT3 is notable for its off-road capabilities, combining a robust suspension system, large tyres, and high ground clearance to handle rough terrain effectively. It also impresses with advanced software integration and hill-climbing power, making it a versatile choice for riders who need more than just urban commuting functionality. Meanwhile, the NAVEE GT5 Max offers a premium feel with excellent suspension tuning and build quality, delivering comfort and stability that rival more expensive scooters, supported by a generous two-year warranty. For those prioritising comfort and practicality, the GoTrax A7 provides a unique seated riding experience with a relaxed posture and integrated rear storage, catering well to casual riders and urban commuters who value convenience. The Hiboy Max Pro represents the best value, upgrading from entry-level models with larger pneumatic tyres and enhanced stability, making it suitable for longer rides without a premium price tag. Lastly, the NIU KQi Air stands out for its ultra-lightweight design, ideal for users who need portability and ease of carrying, such as apartment dwellers or transit commuters, without sacrificing build quality or ride comfort. These developments suggest that the under-$1000 segment is no longer a compromise zone but a competitive field where riders can find scooters tailored to diverse needs, from rugged terrain handling to lightweight portability. As technology and design continue to improve, this price bracket is expected to attract even more attention, potentially reshaping commuter habits and expanding the appeal of electric scooters across the UK and beyond.

GOAT Power Bikes Lineup Guide: Which GOAT Is Right For You?

GOAT Power Bikes has carved out a distinct niche in the high-performance moped-style eBike market by prioritising speed, power, and bold design over conventional eBike classifications. Known for pushing the boundaries of typical electric bike capabilities, GOAT offers models that reach top speeds between 45 and 60 mph, significantly exceeding the usual 28 mph limit seen in many competitors. Their lineup ranges from entry-level urban bikes to machines that verge on lightweight electric motorcycles, reflecting the brand’s commitment to delivering thrilling rides for a variety of users. A key feature of the GOAT range is the availability of both standard and SL (Street Legal) versions of several models. The SL variants cater to riders who need to comply with increasingly strict local eBike regulations, offering similar styling and riding experience but with reduced power and speed to fit legal limits. These models are generally lighter, more affordable, and better suited for use on bike paths, campuses, and in areas with tight enforcement, whereas the full-power versions appeal to those seeking maximum acceleration and top-end performance. Among the standout models, the Motor Goat V3 is highlighted as the most versatile option, balancing speed, range, comfort, and practicality. It can reach speeds up to 50 mph and offers a range of up to 56 miles, making it suitable for both commuting and recreational use. The Billy Goat V3, on the other hand, is geared towards riders who prioritise raw power and acceleration, embodying GOAT’s ethos of speed and excitement. Both models have corresponding SL versions to accommodate riders with different legal and practical needs. The Power Goat V3 is positioned as the best value in the lineup, delivering impressive performance at a lower price point, appealing to those who want high speed and range without the premium cost. Across the board, GOAT’s bikes feature large batteries, powerful 2,000W motors with peak outputs exceeding 3,000W, and robust payload capacities, making them suitable for a wide range of riders, including larger individuals. This combination of attributes has helped GOAT maintain a strong reputation and loyal following within the electric moped community. As eBike regulations evolve, GOAT’s dual approach with standard and SL models ensures riders can find machines that fit their local legal frameworks while still enjoying the brand’s signature performance and style. Prospective buyers are advised to familiarise themselves with regional eBike laws to select the most appropriate model. GOAT’s continued innovation and focus on high-powered electric mobility suggest the brand will remain a prominent player in the rapidly growing electric moped and lightweight electric motorcycle market.

Ride1Up Vorsa Lite Review | No Fluff, Just the Good Stuff

The Ride1Up Vorsa Lite emerges as a compelling option in the commuter e-bike segment, offering a blend of simplicity, power, and versatility. Positioned as a distilled version of the Vorsa family, it forgoes extra features like cargo racks and fat tyres in favour of a lighter, more nimble build. At around $1,500, the Vorsa Lite retains the core strengths of its siblings, including a robust 750W AKM rear-hub motor delivering 95 Nm of torque, a sizeable 720Wh battery, and a 100mm coil suspension fork, making it well-suited for both urban commuting and light off-road adventures. The bike is designed with user customisation in mind, allowing riders to toggle between torque and cadence-sensing pedal assist modes to suit their preferred riding style. This flexibility, combined with a lightweight frame and responsive handling, results in a highly engaging ride experience. The Vorsa Lite also accommodates a wide range of rider heights through two frame sizes and styles, with an adjustable stem and long seatpost enhancing comfort and fit. Its straightforward approach appeals to those who want a reliable, no-nonsense e-bike without the complexity of apps or excessive accessories. Performance testing revealed that the Vorsa Lite excels in range and hill climbing, outperforming many competitors in its price bracket. It offers a natural pedalling feel, particularly in torque-sensing mode, and maintains respectable speeds across its Class 2 and unlockable Class 3 settings. Despite weighing just over 62 pounds, the bike pedals smoothly even without assist, adding to its practicality. However, the review noted the absence of an integrated tail light or brake light as a minor drawback in an otherwise well-rounded package. Overall, the Vorsa Lite stands out as an affordable, adaptable e-bike that balances power, comfort, and simplicity. It is ideal for riders seeking a versatile commuter or light adventure bike that delivers strong performance without unnecessary frills. With its thoughtful design and solid componentry, the Vorsa Lite reinforces Ride1Up’s reputation for producing accessible, quality electric bikes that meet the needs of everyday riders.

Two Minutes of Eternity: Are You Really in Such a Hurry to Stop Having Fun?

The current surge in eMTB technology is characterised by an intense focus on power, torque, and efficiency, with manufacturers and riders alike chasing faster climbs and longer rides. However, the Canyon Spectral:ON and Torque:ON models challenge this prevailing mindset by emphasising the quality of the riding experience over raw performance figures. Rather than prioritising speed and output, these bikes encourage a more engaged and thoughtful interaction between rider and terrain, reminding enthusiasts that mountain biking is about enjoyment and immersion, not just efficiency. While technical specifications such as motor power and battery range remain important, they do not fully capture the essence of how a bike performs on the trail. The true value lies in the dynamic relationship between rider and environment—how one manages traction, balance, and line choice. This nuanced experience cannot be distilled into numbers alone, yet the current discourse often reduces eMTB performance to a competition of statistics. The article argues that an overemphasis on these figures risks overlooking the emotional and physical engagement that makes mountain biking rewarding. The piece also critiques the broader cultural tendency to prioritise speed and efficiency in all aspects of life, including leisure activities like mountain biking. Unlike work or daily chores, where optimisation is beneficial, the pursuit of efficiency on the trail can undermine the very purpose of the sport. Choosing an eMTB solely for its uphill power may shorten the ride but also diminish its intensity and satisfaction. Instead, a bike should empower the rider to remain actively involved, allowing room for skill, adaptation, and even mistakes, which are integral to the experience. The Canyon models highlighted exemplify a different philosophy, where the Shimano motor’s restrained assistance fosters a more balanced ride. This approach maintains rider input as the defining factor, blending support with engagement rather than replacing it. Such bikes demonstrate that performance and ride quality need not be mutually exclusive, offering a compelling alternative to the power race dominating the market. At a time when peak figures and new launches often steal the spotlight, this perspective invites riders to reconsider what truly matters on the trail. Ultimately, the article calls for a shift in focus from chasing numbers to savouring moments. The value of mountain biking lies in the experiences it creates—shared rides, scenic summits, and the simple pleasures of being outdoors. Time spent on the bike is not something to be minimised but cherished, as it enriches the connection to the sport and the environment. Rather than racing to the finish, riders are encouraged to embrace the journey itself, finding fulfilment in the ride rather than the stopwatch.

Trek Introduces New RSL Lace Road Cycling and Mountain Bike Shoes

Trek has expanded its high-performance cycling shoe range with the introduction of the RSL Lace Road and Mountain Bike shoes, offering riders a traditional lace-up closure as an alternative to the existing BOA dial system. These new models retain key features such as the 100% OCLV carbon sole, METNET uppers, and the Trek Pro Last fit, but come at a lower price point and reduced weight. The lace closure is designed to provide a more aerodynamic profile, improve comfort through customizable fit, and deliver measurable performance gains. Wind tunnel testing conducted by Trek indicates that the RSL Lace Road shoes reduce drag, saving an average of 1.84 watts at 45kph compared to the BOA-equipped version. To complement the laces, the shoes include Aero Lace Covers that streamline airflow over the foot. Weight savings are also significant, with the lace-up road shoes weighing 211 grams per shoe in size 42, some 38 grams lighter than their BOA counterparts, while the mountain bike versions are similarly lighter by approximately 39 grams. Comfort and power transfer remain priorities in the design of the RSL Lace shoes. The lace system allows riders to fine-tune tension across different parts of the foot, working in conjunction with METNET relief zones and a wider Pro Last fit to alleviate pressure points. Trek has also introduced a Watt Lock internal structure to enhance foot stability and maximise pedalling efficiency throughout the pedal stroke, particularly benefiting power transfer on the upstroke. The RSL Lace Road and MTB shoes share many features but differ primarily in sole design and cleat compatibility. The road shoe features a 3-bolt cleat interface with minimal rubber pads for weight savings and ventilation, while the mountain bike shoe includes a lugged rubber tread and 2-bolt cleat compatibility for off-road traction and walkability. Both models are unisex, available in a range of European sizes, and currently offered in white only. Priced at $375, the RSL Lace models present a more affordable option compared to the $495 BOA versions, appealing to riders seeking aerodynamic efficiency, lightweight construction, and a traditional lacing system. The shoes are now available through Trek’s website, select retailers, and Trek stores, signalling Trek’s commitment to offering versatile, race-ready footwear for both road and mountain biking disciplines.

‘I’m absolutely gutted to have had to leave the race like this before it even really started’ – Cat Ferguson crashes out of Giro d’Italia Women

Cat Ferguson’s promising campaign at the Giro d’Italia Women came to an unfortunate halt on the very first stage after the 20-year-old British rider crashed and was forced to withdraw. Ferguson, who rides for Movistar, had entered the race in excellent form, having recently secured her third win of the 2026 season at the Navarra Women’s Elite Classic and achieving a podium finish in her gravel racing debut at The Traka 100. The crash curtailed what many had anticipated to be a breakthrough performance in one of women’s cycling’s most prestigious stage races. Following the incident, Movistar provided reassuring updates on Ferguson’s condition, confirming that she had not suffered any brain or cranio-cervical bone injuries. The team emphasised that she remained under close medical observation and was undergoing further assessments. By Monday, Ferguson was reported to be making steady progress in her recovery from the head injury, with symptoms significantly reduced. She was due to return home to continue rehabilitation, with the team expressing optimism about her eventual return to competition. Ferguson herself expressed her disappointment on social media, describing her withdrawal as “gutting” given the race had barely begun. She extended her gratitude to the medical teams, race officials, and hospital staff for their professionalism and care. Despite the setback, she remained positive about her recovery, noting that concussion protocols would be followed and that her wrist injury would require time to heal. Ferguson also sent well wishes to her teammates as they continued in the race. The incident underscores the inherent risks of professional cycling, particularly in high-profile stage races where early crashes can abruptly end a rider’s ambitions. For Ferguson, the focus now shifts to recovery and rehabilitation, with the cycling community hoping to see her return stronger in future competitions. Movistar’s prompt medical response and ongoing support highlight the importance of rider welfare in the sport’s demanding environment.

Zeekr rolls out first OTA update for 7X electric SUV in Australia

Zeekr has initiated the first over-the-air (OTA) software update for its 7X electric SUV in the Australian market, introducing several new features aimed at enhancing convenience and connectivity for owners. The update can be installed remotely without requiring a visit to a dealership, reflecting the growing trend of software-defined vehicles that improve post-delivery. Among the key additions is the Remote Smart Parking Assist, which now includes a straight-line function allowing drivers to manoeuvre the vehicle forwards or backwards remotely via an Apple smartphone, facilitating easier parking in tight or awkward spaces. The OTA update also brings Apple-exclusive CCC 3.0 digital key functionality, enabling owners to unlock and access their 7X using a compatible smartphone instead of a physical key. Inside the cabin, Zeekr has refined alert tones to improve clarity while reducing intrusiveness, including updates to turn signal sounds and vehicle notifications. Additionally, Apple CarPlay has been enhanced for smoother operation, improving navigation, communication, and entertainment features within the vehicle’s infotainment system. Frank Li, managing director of Zeekr Australia, emphasised that the update exemplifies the benefits of modern electric vehicle ownership, where continuous software improvements can enhance the user experience over time. He highlighted that the new features make the 7X smarter and more enjoyable to drive, underscoring Zeekr’s commitment to ongoing innovation. The rollout serves as a significant milestone for Zeekr as it seeks to strengthen its presence in the Australian EV market, where the 7X has already achieved nearly 4,000 sales since its launch in August 2025. The deployment of OTA updates is becoming increasingly common as electric vehicles evolve into software-centric platforms, allowing manufacturers to deliver new functionalities and refinements remotely. For Zeekr 7X owners in Australia, the update will be delivered automatically through the vehicle’s interface, ensuring a seamless installation process. This approach not only enhances customer satisfaction but also positions Zeekr competitively within the premium electric SUV segment as it expands its footprint Down Under.

NIO Sales Soar 62% in May

NIO reported a remarkable surge in sales for May 2026, delivering 37,705 vehicles, which marks a 62.3% increase compared to the same month last year. This growth also represents a 28.4% rise from April, contributing to a strong start to the year with total sales reaching 150,526 units in the first five months—a year-on-year increase of nearly 69%. The sales were distributed among three brands: NIO itself led with over 20,000 units, followed by ONVO and FIREFLY with 12,029 and 5,663 sales respectively. The company’s positive momentum was bolstered by the launch of new models that are expected to further enhance its market position. On 15 May, NIO introduced the ONVO L80, a smart flagship five-seat SUV designed to meet diverse user needs through innovative space utilisation, advanced technologies, and a comprehensive charging and battery swapping infrastructure. The L80 has already garnered favourable user feedback, signalling its potential to accelerate battery electric vehicle (BEV) adoption in the large SUV segment. In addition to the L80, NIO maintained its dominance in the premium SUV market with the All-New ES8, which has topped sales charts for vehicles priced above RMB 400,000 across all energy types for five consecutive months. The company also unveiled the ES9 executive SUV on 27 May, with deliveries starting the following day. The ES9 represents the culmination of over a decade of innovation, featuring cutting-edge smart technology, executive-level comfort, and a high-voltage architecture designed to set new standards in the executive electric SUV category. NIO’s strong sales performance and strategic product launches position it well against competitors such as XPENG, which it has recently begun to outpace after trailing for some time. With a robust pipeline of new models and expanding infrastructure, NIO is poised to sustain and potentially accelerate its growth trajectory throughout the remainder of 2026, signalling an increasingly competitive landscape in China’s premium electric vehicle market.

New Guidance from DOE Weakens Popular Home Energy Rebate Programs

The US Department of Energy (DOE) has issued new guidance that significantly restricts access to home energy rebate programmes designed to encourage the replacement of inefficient and polluting appliances. Under the revised rules, households can no longer use rebate funds to swap out fossil fuel-fired appliances, such as gas furnaces, for efficient electric alternatives like heat pumps. Instead, rebates will be limited to electric-to-electric appliance replacements, a move that critics argue directly contradicts the original legislative intent and undermines efforts to reduce energy consumption and emissions. These changes are expected to create confusion among consumers and complicate the administration of existing state-level programmes, many of which had already begun rolling out under the previous guidelines. The new guidance also makes ENERGY STAR certification optional and removes key oversight measures designed to protect consumers. Such adjustments threaten to weaken the effectiveness of the schemes, which were established under the Inflation Reduction Act with a substantial budget of $8.8 billion aimed at promoting clean energy upgrades, lowering bills, and improving indoor air quality. Environmental advocates have condemned the DOE’s decision, suggesting it favours the fossil fuel industry at the expense of struggling households. Srinidhi Sampath Kumar, director of the Sierra Club’s Clean Heat campaign, criticised the move as a “rule change mid-game” that will trap families with higher energy costs and polluting equipment. Kumar emphasised that the rebates were intended to help low- and moderate-income families reduce costs and improve home comfort by enabling the switch to cleaner technologies like heat pumps, a benefit now put at risk. The implications of the new guidance could be far-reaching, potentially stalling progress on energy efficiency and emissions reductions in the residential sector. Success stories such as that of Gloria Daniels in South Carolina, who achieved significant savings by replacing her gas furnace with a heat pump through the rebate programme, may become increasingly rare. As states and households grapple with the revised rules, the ability of these programmes to deliver on their environmental and economic promises appears to be in jeopardy.
