Features

  1. In our features segment we talk to Phil Latz who is organising Australia’s first Micromobility conference and expo. Micromobility encompasses traditional bikes, electric bikes, cargo bikes, e-scooters, and share schemes among other things. The great thing about the expo which is held at a large racecourse in Sydney with plenty of space and paths, is that you can have a go of these devices in a safe environment. Its free to the public if you register on line. (6:34)
  2. We have a short reflection on the presentation we made to the Roll-Royce Owners Club, (23:10) and
  3. We also have a quick look at the Toyota Hi Lux ute which has more traditional features than some modern vehicles yet it makes it easy to get use to. (25:25)
