Spiny EV Solutions SL has unveiled the second-generation Spiny 2, a clip-on electric assist kit that can be attached to or removed from a bicycle in about 3 seconds after initial mounting. The 2.2 kg unit uses a friction drive roller that powers the rear tyre and avoids swapping wheels or drivetrains. Output and assisted top speed vary by market, with up to 750W and 32 kph in the United States. Spiny says range can reach 90 km under ideal test conditions.

Ford will begin mass-producing its midsize electric pickup Fadom in early 2027 and sell it from $28,350. The model will be the first vehicle on Ford\'s new Universal EV platform and is slated for production in the first quarter at the Louisville Assembly Plant. Ford plans to revamp production by building the vehicle in three zones and using large aluminum castings, cutting parts sharply and raising assembly speed by 40 percent.
