of the one derek goals to health smart nature, the more likes watching it on youtube dw documentary does the new toyota prius hybrids move up to the height of $1000000000.00 solution that's going to solve traffic jams and is writing plastic motorcycles, the ultimate and measuring joy now on rags, the, [000:00:00;00] the, this is the all new toyota prius,

a model looking to change its image and attract new customers time to check it out . welcome to rep for sale. since 97, the prius was the 1st series production car with a hybrid drive train. the 5th gen is hoping to be as popular as its predecessors for pre, if a is powered by $164.00 kilowatt plugin, hybrid system that consists of $122.00. that was electric engine and $115.00 kilowatt combustion engine. the, the system has a 13.6 kilowatt hour battery. and with that you will be able to achieve purely electric ranges of up to 84 kilometers. and that is quite a lot if you compare that to a lot of all the plug in high recalls on the market, those will have, like 65 kilometers a purely electric range around 20 kilometers small. that is quite

a bit or of course if you take the car to the highway and speed with it, then you won't be able to achieve that about driving in the city and maybe on countryside roads. then you have good chances of achieving that. 84 kilometers, quite a lease like some 70. that is quite a good figure as well, and more than enough to take you to your workplace and back without having to use your combustion engine. on the outside, this iteration of the free as a stylish the redesign complete with a new lower roof line and redesigned front grill help it's shed, it's previous, some would say ugly genes. when i 1st noticed, when i got into the previous is the steering wheel has a lot of buttons, there are 13 switches that have at least 2 or 3 or even 4 different

functions. and that is a little bit too much. of course, on the other hand that saves you for having buttons right here. you have to touch screen to operate everything you need. and when i also always like you have physical buttons for the climate control, the drivers display is located quite high. and again, that is why there is no head up this day because you don't need it is very. busy close to your field of view if you look at the street, and that's why toyota could afford to do that. it doesn't have like, the sun shade over it, but despite the fact that the sun is shining onto it, you can still easily read it. so it has a very high contrast the import payment system is quite big. you have everything you need and what all do, i have to calculate, but they have to say, it's a little said that and also can be used wirelessly. but you have

a lot of us be so goods to ride here. you have to walk. busy right here in the console, so more than enough to charge any smartphone you might have. let's talk about the space in the back and a half to say the like room is absolutely okay. the head room is already somewhat difficult. if you are one meet or 8590, depending on your house style you wont be able to sit here without having to lean down the little low. uh or keep your head to to this is what the trunk looks like. yeah, i don't know about that. i mean have you saw a beep to tell me the trunk is open. okay. by that too loud, too long. anyway,

this is what the trunk looks like. 3 backpacks, 3 and a half. so i would guess 2 suitcases would fit in it, but that's it. of course if you don't have any passengers in the back, but you can fold down the season and there is lots of space. so the way it's right here is just to data, of course it's because of the roof line that comes down very low, makes the colleagues 40 but also makes it lose quite a bit of luggage space. just the most of the electric all probably like to cause the toyota prius features of the drive mode that has higher recuperation. and you can also switch between 3 different levels of recuperation, the 3rd level. so the highest one is somewhat suitable for one pedal drive. of course you need to press the brake pedal in the end to stop the car completely. but

apart from that it works quite good. the. the only thing i found quite strange is that you can actually change the level of free corporation by a simple switch. instead, you have to take a look into the menu that you can open via the buttons at the steering wheel. and you cannot change those settings while you're driving. it's only possible if the cost and still and i don't know why toyota did that because changing the level of recuperation is a basic thing. if you have 3 different levels, why not give the driver the possibility to change that was driving some pedals behind the steering wheel? i guess will a lot of other manufacturers have changed the recuperation would have been great. the charging the battery of the previous takes

quite some time or on for all us. that is nothing that you would want to do on the long distance trip on the highway. but if you put it in your garage or at your charge, ride home with your wall box anywhere, then it doesn't matter how long it takes. what's quite nice is that down here in the center console, you have a button that will allow you to change between the e. v mode, or the auto mall is where the call would choose whether it's an e v mode or not. and you also have a button that will allow you to charge the battery while driving, so the combustion engine will provide electric energy for the battery. that way, if you're driving, for example, on the highway, you choose charge the battery and when you come into a city where for example, the restrictions for combustion engine costs can switching to intervene. busy and then drive into those restricted areas,

which is quite practical. i think the price is for the base model of the new prius started around 45000 years in germany with prices for the top of the line version beginning just under 53000 years. something up my previous experience, i have to say i liked the call. i like the way it looks. i like the way it drives. and to me it's not a problem or that you don't have that much space in the bag or in the trunk. the 5th gen 3 is now rather sporty, both in terms of looks and driving and handling capabilities and the interior and infotainment system are a plus. on the downside, the recuperation settings could have been better and the limited space in the rear and trunk are disappointed. the transportation issues are nothing new. if you think of just the modes of transportation throughout history, this going from a, you know,

a horse and buggy to rail to ocean going, betsel, steam liners, air ships. so there's always been something new to try out that would solve some of the problems of the old and each one of those new things has introduced its own new problems. today's transportation mix is no exception. the biggest problem is that roughly a quarter of global energy related carbon emissions are linked to transport. but that's just one of many. many people have the experience of being stuck in traffic, and of course people don't like that. there's also the high cost of kind of owning a vehicle if you have to do that in order to get around. and unfortunately, you know, in many places, transit services are not always the most accessible. the most efficient, even the most affordable traffic jams are so universally hated that there's a bunch of jokes and moves,

little wonder that tech trains jump down to the transit bandwagon. big tech has reshape the economy and flashy hype, fuel presentation, no matter what their substance were key. and so instead of kind of really mundane things like invest in bosses and uh, you know, think about how we distribute st space and maybe make some cycle lanes. it sounds a lot more attractive. the say all the cars are going to start driving themselves and we're going to make this new tunnels, just them for transportation and we're going to have flying cars. finally, investors and media, laptop, high tech, exciting new transit projects. and the company you saw potential to people spend loads on transit in the us. for instance, 16 percent of household spending goes to transportation, 2nd only to housing. and while investors currently only have promises not results to go on, it hasn't stopped them. for example, you're on most of the boring company name that because they bore tunnels, get it,

picked up $675000000.00 in private capital. in 2022. local governments have also jumped on board mosque announced deals, promising to build underground tunnels for high speed travel in chicago in fort lauderdale, in 2018 in 2021. the either have been built so the high train is rolling, the venture capital is blowing. everything is fine and dandy to a tech companies have to deliver on their spectacular promises. one of the most glaring examples of hyperlinks, a high speed above ground vacuum to popularized by musk in 2013 and pursued by a number of firms billionaire richard branson, the owner of the virgin, also got in on the fun in 2017 and a virgin hyper loop announced plans to build overground vacuum tubes that would hurdle people at 670 miles an hour across the us, india in the middle east. what the closest these came to materializing was a single crude test in 2020,

which reached about 100 miles an hour. far less than promised. costs were nearly $10.00 times higher and the test drive transported just to passengers instead of the promise $28.00. undeterred by the failure of his above ground travel, project fussy officer to go underground with his boring company. first, the pledge to dig elaborate systems of tunnels under cities were autonomously dripping pods with 16 passengers would sit around with the and that became a pledge to develop a system of so called skates, which would sweep electric cars across town. speeds of up to 130 miles an hour, which became a one way tunnel to drive test was through at about 40 miles an hour called the lute, which at least exists. he sold the systems to a bunch of cities around the united states. and in most cases, they have not materialized and then the only place where we're has, which is las vegas, it's a short tunnel that connects up the convention center. and it's mainly just and it's an attraction for tesla's, you know, it's

a way to sell it as low as it's not really affecting traffic. it's not really solving transportation problems. it's really, i call it a disney land ride for tesla. fed. western billionaires aren't the only ones with techs, that sounds more impressive than it looks. china is autonomous, real rapid transit. that's got an hype for being a cheaper alternative to the standard trends, and it has been tested in guitar and australia. it's a quote unquote track. what's prem system that traverse has roads and has a driver despite being called autonomy. that's right. pretty much a bus looks kind of cool, but not a transit revolution. if it feels like we're seeing a pattern here, it's because lots of these could be defined as gadget bonds. the transit term for an exciting new technology that's actually less useful than what it's meant to replace. and then there is the holy grail of sy fy playing cars. some companies like jo be, are working on what they call electric vertical takeoff and landing cubicles or

flying taxes. even the biggest luddites have to admit that these are cool, though they look more like fancy helicopters and flying cars. toby hopes to launch these fully electric vehicles in 2025. they should have a range of 150 miles per job expects the average trip to be around $25.00, meaning flying taxis with compliments, not replace existing transport network or is and when these tech solutions materialize, they often bring with them their own set of regulatory costs and safety challenges or fail to solve some of the biggest transit issues. ideally, mass transit should serve the masses. that means recognizing it as a public good. something flashy private innovation distracts from. if we wanted to do it, we could have been making investments in transit service and investments in psych, plenty of this structure and doing, you know, other things in order to address these issues. instead of waiting for the tech industry to create solutions that were never actually going to solve anything in

the 1st place, practical transit solutions that encourage people to ditch private cars are often a bit boring. while the electric buses popping up all over the world are cool. there are no flying cars. and transit researchers might be the only people on the planet. you think the bikes are sexy? i have one right here in the background to tell i get the toward the they're pretty under stated, they're easy to maintain low cost. they enable quicker and longer bike trips without the cost of showing up sway or tired likes and busses are great local transit solutions. but what makes them really shine is dedicated lanes. like boca tons of bus expressway is where amsterdam so expensive network of bike paths. and there's always room for innovation like emitting where cable cars help traverse densely built steep terrain. so it will

take them much more than flashing animations to solve our traffic problem. let alone curb transits, climate impact, deep billions of venture capital and heaps of attention. these tech solutions garner would probably be better invested in truly boring, but more efficient real solutions cars, cars. the phenomenon with millions of unique stars. that's the dna. john coffin, we need you guys wherever you are. however, up here flick, passion is our module and your stories. our currency. somebody. oh yeah. we found cars from germany and the craziest place all across to this one here is, is all dictated from albania,

that officially never exit route. once you're sorry, and we try to figure out why we feel such a strong, emotional, only with this machine. just story 2 ideas caused by itself and millions and millions of use that account. and most of all the fact that makes us better this video make me add more buckets. yep. that's to all thing is love is so cool to watch and keep going. well thank you for the question is now flash. if we go next right to wherever your sentence your stories and your crazy car into the let's catch up soon. conrad the conventional engine noise. next,

mike this is an electric bike. it looks like a regular motorcycle. the bikes night the v lecture could help sold specific problems faced by commuters in pakistan, control has become increasingly on affordable impacts done with prices reaching more than $300.00 rupees or around one euro per liter. running into the bikes. those is charging, the bikes really only takes to 10 of us hours of electricity and provides a range of 80 to a 100 kilometers 14, because then actual e motorcycles to money. and if it's more to say the maintenance costs to be motorcycles very low, it's practically non existent. lot comes in. well, this is because the bikes have fewer parts suitcase. they have no clutch in gears and they're fully automatic. next thing has been geared in the automatic the carburetor? no silence or no into the internet. yes ma'am. it's got 80 percent fewer parts compared to a regular motorcycle end of me. but i'm going to go on more to say,

because i've had with fewer parts the parts come with. there are fewer parts failures unless need for repair really. it's got but the lead of the then most of the fact that you don't use petrol in a motorcycle. i mean, according to the that is lane and irregular motor bikes about a deal and oil costs go to the amount to around 821-2000 pakistani rupees per month to buy them as auto pay go annually. this is around 100002150000 rupees a year. for 5 years, you end up spending around 800000 rugby. sorry. we tend not to think about this just in, in the pump. so the electron motorcycles a made in pakistan charging this motorcycle is simple just lucky to not have or head to either of the 2 charging stations in corrupt cheese show petrol stations. but we'll say signal for charging point the p bikes the cheapest around the

actual pallet and counter tops. they're also environmentally friendly. according to reports by the send environmental protection agency, the noise generated by traffic which is up to 80 decibels. tvs can help cub this tape for a bikes them to mit smith quit chose to reduce this environmental pollution before they go to afford make us looking for the bike. like, let's say i can't, i bought a car. okay. and i want to buy a motorcycle may electric buy, could i do or it's off my car. so if you buy and want a motorcycle, electric bridge on a journey, and now i have a choice to go for a petrol bike or an electric bike. so that they have to scan the setting up for the bike for 2 reasons or something each other. right? so the 1st is, it is, is that when we use an a bike, it doesn't have either petrol or diesel burning inside of hickey o. d. u don't, so there's no harmful tale type emissions. the skin which would typically be

released by the exhaust that can harm the populace via air pollution. it's me and always be me. so what they used to be, but yes indeed, emissions for an entire city could be brought to 0 since there's no fuel being burned or some type. and the 2nd reason is that it runs noiselessly because there's no engine, there's just a battery and an electric motor, something like that. well, e cause a velocity known shift back is found that currently out of reach for the average person. state run electric buses provide green transport for karachi and the bikes could seem to come and know that the interruption, the undying passion for vintage motorcycle is an evergreen, love for the joy of writing and an indestructible bowling classic machine. and mum by india, and crush real bad lava and the size of them by sundays, or se credit is when the vintage the restroom bikers are from bay or the visa the

meat for their weekly ritual. a ride through the city on their vintage and classic motorcycles that celebrates their shared passions. being they being since 1966. and i have own, i have lost con, about 20 to. but additional machines i've had in my staples, most of the bank and i enjoyed, i didn't even have in fact, it was far off the bank, ollie's collection of motorcycles that inspired the formation lighting the spark of an idea in the minds of co finders various sense i've been inspired fairly young in the motorcycles used to being body was my inspiration. as a young boy walking to the policy called me was about, you'd always see is leap pump in. there's motorcycle spots around the corner and you know, it's something solemn. i go on at all,

you but motorcycles that are maybe 67 deals or this was in pristine condition. but maintaining and writing pristine machines requires a specific attitude. it's not for the faint of heart. when these does not have done what i enjoy, and i think it's an exercise in patients, sometimes it's dogs sometimes before shape. and sometimes it's about mothers, davinci and stuff as a visit, that'd be a day by then all sorts of stuff and, and a fuzzy one in the board see about his minutes of things, but punishing it. so. yeah, in that sense it is, it has to be a batch. it is it, it was not inviting that it is what it andre disease edge. b b was born in 2012. i started with a couple of friends. it wasn't it. i the thing that happened once in a way and as the momentum picked up, as i bought in best with a few senior collect, goes, who said the bachelor and i felt even more motivated, sundays a day. and by when everybody enjoys what they do, it said one day in the week. and specifically in the morning on a sunday because suicide one by you would see people are doing exactly what they

like. so it's basically the to a passion that but decided to form a group where we could write together and enjoy together or set up thoughts badger at decade or so later the group has grown and number and scale and rarely misses the chance to get to straight their motorcycle, the fashion of infants, motorcycles, is pretty much an appreciation of things well, but it's so easy to just sign a check and get a motorcycle today out of our showroom way, but the tonics and abs and you've got, you know, a 101 cent so all these things are done mechanically in your mind window and have in this motorcycle, you don't have all the sensors, the sensors that you, you can ask any motorcycle rider is that you have as a specific way that the lights is bike. but the person who owns the bike will have bonded in a certain way with this machine. and it's the quest for this unique phone line that

keeps these motorcyclist going riding with these guys. on sunday, at 6 o'clock they're writing group has some of the rarest vintage machines in the country. from b, m, w r. 90 s. as to norton commando, m k twos, 2, racing vs a gold stars and more. but how did the families react to their obsession? well, that said, that, don't that in good. we've had rain bells. um, but the 1st time you saw my bike, you didn't make it so much easier. and he said it looks like it's coming out of the media. that's all good. and my dad started coming with me for i had sort of the good bonding, think of me and my dad. as for the future, the hope is that like the motorcycle is they ride the club to whether it's the passing years with some hopes. what's next is hopefully to be consistent. things like this need this time the best of time. so to just be consistent, make sure that we're still loving, min, dinning and writing a bikes. even with the difficult elements,
