From, EveMotion GmbH, Germany. First video of riding it: https://youtu.be/ochO_Jj-D6A [360 version] First video of riding it: https://youtu.be/BkkV1KrgS_w [Front/Rear version] While this exact model is available from other "manufacturers", it would seem that they are actually all produced in just the one factory for world-wide use. ***UPDATE*** Original design appears to be Evo Boards / Evo Powerboards from Mike Puzey of South Africa: http://www.puzey.co.za/company.html and made by Zhejiang Okai Vehicle Co., Ltd. www.okai.co A very useful 9 page exploded diagram of the full parts list of the 800w version is available at: http://www.puzey.co.za/spares/EVO%20800W/fullPartsCatalogue.pdf [My version here is the 1000watt, now with a custom lithium battery replacing Puzey item F-3] ************* Branding throughout the world includes: Evo Boards, Raycool Spark, uberscoot, Ram Wheels, Chaos. MAF, Patinete, SXT Scooters, Freeride E-flux, Zippy. ***END UPDATE*** EveMotion, however, does seem to be unique in adding a VIN plate and stamping the same ident onto the stem of the scooter. Also, there are slightly different powers and voltages available: 800watt, 1000watt, 1200watt, 1600watt, 2000watt. 36v being 3 batteries 48v being 4 batteries 60v being 5 batteries 72v being 6 batteries Each battery is a sealed lead acid type and weighs 4.4 kg. Even with this model, having 3 batteries is 13.2kg - already, I'm looking to swap-out the stock batteries for lithium polymer. Delivery of these requires some assembly - other channels have done unboxings of these already. At first I was surprised to see one channel showing it can take approaching 2 hours to put one together. As I've put 2 together, I do now agree that some parts of the assembly can be a bit "tricky"! Build-quality is excellent. All the welding is strong, neat, tidy. One is powder-coated black, other also has a carbon-wrap. For the price, the components are very generous but probably will be replaced for better quality items. Namely, the brake-disks are solid steel and could be swapped-out for vented rotors. Also, the brake callipers do a great job of stopping an all-up weight of around 150kg, however, the castings seem a tad brittle. High-street retailers do sell electric versions of child scooters for adults. While they look good, my concern was their durability when used by someone such as myself who is just over the maximum specified weight. Comparing the high-street versions, Viron specify an additional 20kg, provide larger wheels, front/rear suspension, slightly faster top speed, and more confidence when riding over grassy fields. Riding on hard surfaces such as concrete, tarmac or blacktop, the off-road tyres do give a noticeable rumble.

A BBC Programme 2020 was supposed to celebrate 50 years of the iconic 747 jumbo jet and mass air travel. Instead, Covid-19 brought catastrophe to the aviation industry. With fleets grounded and passenger numbers in free fall, the jumbo jet is now too big and costly to fly. From flagship to scrap - Mark Jordan joins airlines and crew now forced to fly their iconic 747s on a final journey to the desert breaker's yard. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HEg2BLzC1lw
