The Greyp G12H by Rimac

Looking for a new way to get around? The Greyp can last all day

Rimac is taking its electric bikes to the next level.

The company unveiled its new electric bike with an impressive range of 150 miles per charge. That means you can ride the e-bike for 150 miles without having to pedal.

 To help put that into perspective, the company’s last electric bike, the Greyp G12s, had a range of 75 miles with a full charge. Most electric bikes have a range of only about 20 miles.

The new bike, called the G12H, can also reach a top speed of 27 mph and is street legal.

Like other electric bikes Greyp makes, the G12H will also boast some high-tech features. For example, a biometric sensor is built into the bike so that a rider can simply touch the sensor to activate the ignition.

Owners can even program the bike to recognize different fingerprints so that it will automatically adjust to different modes for different riders.

Greyp didn’t share say exactly when the bike would become available, but Kresimir Hlede, the company’s chief operating officer said in a press statement that it would be sometime before the end of this year.

The company also didn’t mention a price for the vehicle, but don’t expect it to be cheap. The G12S prices at about $9,500, so the G12H will likely fly in the same ballpark.

Derek occasionally gets homework assignments from daycare. It mostly consists of him learning how to trace his own name, and some very simple math problems – simple if you’re way above the age of 4, that it is. But it’s homework nonetheless. And we want Derek to know the importance of school, especially since he’ll … MORE>>

Derek has decided he wants to be a firefighter when he gets older. Keep in mind he’s 4 and he can’t decide what color pajamas he wants to wear to bed. So that may change. But the good thing is I have used this to our advantage. Derek wants to grow and big to become … MORE>>

Apparently, today is National Beer Day. April 7th is the celebration of when beer became legal again in the United States after the Cullen-Harrison Act was signed into law by President Franklin Roosevelt on March 23, 1933. Sounds like it may have caught on as National Beer Day in 2009, when Justin Smith of Richmond, … MORE>>
Thanks to the city of Sarasota, Lido Beach just got a bright new addition: a cerulean marker displaying how high sea levels are projected to rise in the next 100 years. Here’s the thing–the facts are scary. We said it. To name just a few: In less than 15 years, by 2030, sea levels are … MORE>>
I hate eggs. Hate them. You can scramble them, poach them, make them sunny side up, and then you can go ahead and stuff yourself because I want nothing to do with them. I have a hard time watching people eat eggs. I liked French toast until someone told me it was nothing more than … MORE>>

It’s rare to see eight female filmmakers lined up in a row discussing their short film and documentary work–mostly because it’s rare to see eight women filmmakers together in one room at all. But that’s exactly what we saw Saturday evening at the reception for the 18th annual Through Women’s Eyes Film Festival, highlighting women … MORE>>
