Just a few years ago, every automaker was promising to go full electric within a decade or less. Now, you have many of those same companies backing away from electrification, as recent years have shown that neither the market nor the infrastructure are all that ready to ditch the good old gas-guzzler.

One of our favorites from that list seemed like it would skip out on the year entirely. Fortunately, that turns out to not be the case, as the the Aston Martin Valhalla is finally here. Billed as “the driver’s supercar,” the vehicle looks every bit the part, taking on race-inspired lines that looks like they’ll feel perfectly at home […]

It’s nice and all, but the near-$2,000 price tag made it a tough proposition for many parents. The Droyd Fury Youth ATV brings the same rugged, off-road, kid-friendly chops in a more affordable package. Designed for kids ages six and up, the ride-on vehicle delivers exhilarating ATV performance that will let them take on not […]

Despite the numerous models they’ve produced, though, it turns out the outfit has never released an off-roading variant. That changes with the new Segway Ninebot ZT3 Pro. Designed for off-road riding, the micromobility vehicle is packed with all sorts of technologies that make it perfectly suited to taking on more challenging terrains. […]

This time around, the outfit is taking the Spyder’s three-wheel design and bringing it to the off-road in the form of the 2025 Can-Am Canyon. Looking like a hybrid between an ATV and an adventure bike, the reverse trike […]

Who wouldn’t want to ride around on a motorized deck that uses handlebars to balance and steer, after all? Problem is, throttle-controlled 15mph scooters are far from the safest rides for kids. The Segway Ninebot eKickScooter C2 Lite offers a safer, more accessible starting point. Designed for kids between six to 10 years old, the micromobility vehicle looks to make it easier and safer for small kids to ride electric scooters. They do it by offering […]

While it is quite the luxurious vehicle, it’s not quite as refined as the Range Rover for regular city driving. With the new Land Rover Defender Octa, that all changes. Billed as “the most dynamically accomplished Defender ever created,” the new vehicle boasts equally stellar performance both on- and off-road, combining the series’ backcountry prowess with the Range Rover’s sportier […]

Of course, it maintained its rugged off-roader sensibilities that entire time, making it as viable for overlanding as it is for cruising down the wealthiest luxury neighborhoods. This time, it’s turning into a modern EV in the form of the Mercedes-Benz G 580 with EQ Technology. That’s right, the G-Wagon is going electric, swapping out the combustion engine in favor of four […]
