From Transport Evolved.
Here at Transport Evolved, we’re eager to lean heavily into encouraging everyone stop strive for a cleaner, greener, safer, smarter and more equitable future. And even though the horrors of the U.S. political system and its quick-march toward authoritarianism, we’re going to try and produce content in between our deep dives that gives us – and hopefully you – a bit of hope for the future.
Today is one such video. We’re giving you an update on our Vectrix VX-1 which, shortly after the last U.S. Ingauration, we removed the old battery pack from. And while we’ve yet to order the new charging unit (thanks to a company we no-longer work with for payroll taking money it wasn’t allowed to) we’re keeping ourselves busy with parts of the bike.
And today, we figure out what caused our rear light to stop working.
