Predictions about technology and trends emerge year-round, but many can be trivial or obvious, lacking real insight or originality. But there are the golden nuggets.

Apologies, there were a few brief errors just now as we were rolling out some new features. All good now.

Engwe came to us a month ago with the Eagle and asked if we’d like to review it. The eMoto looks and is specced a lot like some of the other 14/12″ mullet mini eMotos that have flooded the market over the past year, which wasn’t immediately enticing. However, the Eagle smashes through that $1000 price point to $899 after coupon code ELECTREKCO (plus some limited-time gifts). We thought it would be useful to see how they did it and what we found might surprise you.

This is the first update. All I did was put an exclam at the end of Hello World. Let's see how the feed reacts.

For Labor Day, we've put together some of our favorite recent interviews, including: As the Democratic Socialists of America rack up electoral wins during primary season, the group is pushing an expansive definition of who counts as working-class. Gothamist and WNYC report...

Labor Day isn’t about sales and one last cookout. Okay, maybe the cookout part. We do love a good cookout, haha. But really, today is about workers.

“The Alternative for Germany’s record election victory in the eastern state of Saxony-Anhalt on Sunday marked a milestone not just for the far right but for Europe’s tilt toward Vladimir Putin,” Bloomberg reports. “The anti-immigration party known by its German acronym, AfD, has openly sympathized with the Russian president’s attempt to batter Ukraine into submission, […]

“European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen on Monday announced a fresh funding boost for Greenland, seeking to shore up Arctic ties with the self-governing Danish territory amid U.S. President Donald Trump’s annexation drive,” CNBC reports.

Electric motorcycles have long had a pricing problem. While battery-powered scooters and e-bikes have increasingly pushed into affordable territory, highway-capable electric motorcycles still tend to carry fairly hefty price tags.

Evoke Motorcycles is hoping to change that with its newly unveiled 2027 Evoke Nrgy, a lightweight electric motorcycle targeting a starting price of just $4,995.

The reader reports that the protective fencing is in poor condition and the area is no longer being maintained. Dogs are also using the tree beds. "We have lost so many trees in the past couple of years," the reader wrote, wondering whether EVG readers might have ideas for protecting these.  As previously reported, the former school building at 185 E. Seventh St. is being marketed as a residential development site by the Archdiocese of New York. The adjacent St. Brigid-St. Emeric church and rectory are not included in the potential sale.  Any suggestions for helping these trees?
