Maxfoot's MF33 Maxlandau 2-seater electric trycicle can get up to 85 miles on one charge and can hit a top speed of 20 MPH.
The motor's in the rear on this contraption, which makes climbing hills easy. It will set you back $3300, though.

Can Rivian Realistically Return to Growth in 2025?
Rivian's sales have slowed over the past year. The automaker's first major marketing campaign could boost demand. Rivian's R2 launch will be crucial to the company's potential success. These 10 stocks could mint the next wave of millionaires › When many investors turned to find the next Tesla, which is easier said than done, some turned to the young electric vehicle (EV) maker Rivian Automotive (NASDAQ: RIVN). The company had proven capable of manufacturing high-quality vehicles, impressed critics and consumers alike, and inked a massive deal for delivery vans (EDVs) with Amazon -- life was good. Exiting 2023 you could argue Rivian had more momentum than any EV maker out there, but that has since dissipated and left investors wondering if the automaker can return to growth in 2025. The harsh truth is that the automotive industry is extremely competitive, and it takes an automaker with a full lineup to be truly successful. That hampers Rivian's ability to post extreme growth as the company only offers the R1T, R1S, and EDVs. But what's worse is that Rivian's only offerings are aging, and demand for them is waning -- it's been a noticeable trend. So the question facing investors is: Can the automaker return to growth in 2025 before the highly anticipated R2 launch in 2026? Investors in the know understand that Rivian has a small consumer base, but that it's a highly passionate base as well. There are Rivian adventure groups all across social media with consumers planning trips among other things. Rivian is attempting to tap into this passion with its first major marketing push, which the company could certainly use to help stoke demand for its vehicles. "This campaign is about celebrating the people who define what Rivian truly is," said Vice President of Marketing Denise Cherry on Rivian's blog. "Our vehicles are made to empower exploration and adventure, but it's the stories our owners create that give them real soul. For our first 360 brand campaign, we wanted to make sure our owners were the spotlight." Rivian has largely relied on word of mouth and organic growth to spread its brand awareness, but with demand waning over the past year, this marks the right time for the company to try to drive interest and demand for its R1 vehicles. Then it'll be time for the R1 vehicles to hand the baton to the R2 in 2026, which starts at roughly $45,000, or about half the price of Rivian's R1 vehicles. With 155,000 production units annually the R2 will be able to nearly double production of the R1S and R1T. If demand is there, expect deliveries to take off and accelerate through 2026. Investors also can't forget Rivian's big-time move to swap initial production of the R2 from its Georgia plant, which is under construction, to its Illinois plant thanks to an expansion of the factory. It's a move that not only fills production capacity at its original plant, but that saved the company roughly $2.25 billion. The harsh truth is that Rivian is unlikely to return to growth in 2025, unless its marketing campaign works miracles to drive immense demand. The automaker is essentially all-in on its R2, which boasts a much lower-cost bill of materials and improved tech, and will rely on the R2, R3, and R3X to take the company into its next growth stage. The near-term environment for EVs is pessimistic, especially with the current administration pulling support for the EV industry, and Rivian lacks any visible catalysts for the stock in 2025. But investors would be wise to take the long-term approach with Rivian. The company just achieved two consecutive quarters of gross profit and if it executes the production ramp-up of the R2 in 2026, it will be a much better year for investors. Ever feel like you missed the boat in buying the most successful stocks? Then you'll want to hear this. On rare occasions, our expert team of analysts issues a 'Double Down' stock recommendation for companies that they think are about to pop. If you're worried you've already missed your chance to invest, now is the best time to buy before it's too late.

What the Tech: Help in an emergency with Alexa
We all remember those commercials from the 1980s where someone says, 'I've fallen and I can't get up.' While those devices still exist, many people now rely on their smartphones to call for help. But what happens when someone can't reach their phone? For older adults, especially those living alone, this is a genuine concern. That is where Alexa, Amazon's voice assistant, can help. But it is not a one-step solution. If you want Alexa to be part of your emergency plan, you need to set it up in advance. Yes, and no. Alexa cannot call 911 unless you subscribe to a paid service called Alexa Emergency Assist. This add-on costs about $6 per month and connects the user with trained agents who can call emergency services on their behalf. Once subscribed, a person needs to say, 'Alexa, call for help,' and they will be connected to a live agent who can assess the situation and arrange assistance. It will also contact up to 25 emergency contacts to inform them that you need help. If you do not want to pay for the Emergency Assist subscription, there is a useful workaround. You can manually add trusted contacts to the Alexa app. These could include family members, close friends, or neighbors who can assist in an emergency. Once those contacts are saved, the user can say, 'Alexa, call [name],' and Alexa will dial their number. To add a contact: Open the Alexa app. Tap 'Communicate' at the bottom of the screen. Go to 'Contacts.' Tap the plus sign to add a new contact. Enter the name and phone number. Save the contact. This allows someone to call for help hands-free, even if they cannot reach a phone. The person on the other end can then call 911 if needed. Alexa also has a feature called Drop In, which works like an intercom. If your devices are on the same Amazon account, you can say, 'Alexa, Drop In on all devices,' and everyone connected will hear the call. This is especially helpful for families checking in on loved ones or for situations where multiple Echo devices are spread throughout the home. While Alexa cannot call 911 directly without a paid subscription, Siri on iPhones can. Saying 'Call 911' or 'I need help' will trigger the emergency call function on most iPhones. Just be cautious when testing it, because the call will go through in about 2 seconds. There is no option to call for help using Google Assistant. Alexa is a helpful tool for emergency preparedness, but it should not replace a phone or medical alert system. Without the Emergency Assist subscription, Alexa cannot contact emergency services directly. However, by setting up contacts and utilizing features like Drop In, it can add an additional layer of safety. Always test your setup and ensure that your loved ones know how to use it.

SpaceX Starlink rivalry grows as next Kuiper deployment nears
Amazon is about to send another batch of Project Kuiper internet satellites to orbit as it seeks to take on SpaceX's Starlink service to provide broadband internet to customers around the world. The tech giant has a long way to go before it has any hope of effectively challenging Starlink, but with its second launch set for next week, progress is being made toward its goal. Recommended Videos Project Kuiper is currently targeting Monday, June 16, for the launch of 27 internet satellites aboard a United Launch Alliance (ULA) Atlas V rocket from Cape Canaveral in Florida. The KA-02 mission comes seven weeks after the first Project Kuiper launch, which also deployed 27 internet satellites. Commenting after the inaugural launch, Rajeev Badyal, vice president of Project Kuiper, said: 'We've designed some of the most advanced communications satellites ever built, and every launch is an opportunity to add more capacity and coverage to our network.' SpaceX began deploying its Starlink internet satellites six years ago and now has more than 7,000 of them in low-Earth orbit, bringing broadband connectivity to more than 5 million customers globally. Project Kuiper says its initial constellation will be made up of more than 3,200 satellites, with more than 80 missions needed to reach that goal. To that end, Amazon has put together a busy launch schedule, with six additional satellite deployments planned for ULA's Atlas V rocket, at least 38 on ULA's Vulcan Centaur rocket, and dozens more with Arianespace and Blue Origin. SpaceX's workhorse Falcon 9 rocket may even help out. Amazon is targeting as early as the end of this year for the launch of a high-speed, low-latency satellite-powered internet service, with as few as 1,000 satellites needed for global coverage. Building out the constellation to the targeted 3,200 satellites will help to boost network performance and reliability for paying customers.
