Closer Look: The Volt Electric Moped by Zero Emission Motors
If you're looking for an inexpensive electric moped tailor-made for city driving, then the new Volt electric moped from Zero Emission Motors might be just the ticket for you. The new Volt electric moped (named just like the newly-announced electric car, but unlike the car, available today) is a new electric moped just released by Zero Emission Motors.
The Volt electric moped is a mid-range electric moped that straddles the gap between low-power electric mopeds (< 1000W) and higher-power, freeway-legal mopeds such as the Vectrix.

The Volt electric moped is driven by a 1500 watt / 48 Volt motor and can propel you at speeds up to 30 mph for up to 30 miles per charge. We like the 1500 Watt motor because it provides enough power to get you up hills without slowing down too much, and will also provide good acceleration when you need it.

The Volt features all the trimmings you would expect from a moped in this range - mirrors, headlights, taillights, blinkers and brake lights, keyed start, a horn, and an under-seat storage compartment and glove box. An odometer is included to let you know how far you've traveled, and a speedometer is also provided. A battery indicator is also provided to let you know how much charge you have left. The battery pack is lead-acid, and takes about 8 hours or so to fully charge using the included battery charger, which you can plug in to any wall outlet. It costs about $0.10 for a full charge, which means $10 of electricity will get you about 3000 miles worth of travel. Try that with gasoline.

The Volt is capable of seating up to two people at a time - its weight limit is 500 lbs. And at $1,495 plus $150 shipping, we think this e-scooter gives a you lot for the price. The Volt electric moped is available today from Zero Emission Motors.

Truck Floor Mats Will Protect Your Truck Floor,Trucks Category

Owning a truck is something many hard working people in North America take a lot of pride in. Therefore, it is understood that owners of these vehicles like to spend money on them to make them look better and last longer. Truck floor mats are a necessity for all owners.

One reason for the need for truck floor mats is to protect the floor of your truck. Spills can cause stains. Therefore, to keep it clean and looking as good as possible, you will need something to protect the floor.

Many things can be spilled in your truck. This includes drinks like coffee that could stain the floor. If you live in a region that experiences a lot of snow, then truck floor mats will protect the inside of your vehicle from road salt. Mats also help save on cleaning expenses for your vehicle as well.

Sometimes when you take your truck in for maintenance, the service technicians do not always place a temporary boot mat on the floor. Having your truck floor mat will protect your truck from the grease and oil of service technician's boots.

Truck floor mats also provide a layer of protection between the floor and everything that is placed on it. They also add style and generally just make the truck look nicer and more cared for.

Another good thing about truck floor mats is that they are easy to clean. Most are made of high-quality rubber and just hose them down whenever you are washing your vehicle. Put it this way, they are much easier to maintain and clean than the actual carpeting. If you are willing to shell out more cash then there are custom mats available as well. These are specifically made to fit in your truck and are usually made in the color specified by the owner of the vehicle.

In conclusion, you need truck floor mats to protect the carpeting of your truck. They also make your vehicle look nicer and more stylish.

Luxury Crossover Redefined,SUVs Category

The crossover vehicle market continues to expand, thanks to just about every automaker getting into this hot segment. Loosely defined, a crossover is a sport/utility type vehicle built on a car platform, a hybridized multi-purpose vehicle that is lighter and much more fuel efficient than an SUV.
The Ford Motor Company has seen much success with its fleet of crossovers which include the Ford Edge and the Ford Flex. That latter model was introduced last summer, a boxy seven passenger wagon like vehicle like nothing else on the road.

With the MKT, Lincoln took the Flex platform and developed a vehicle unique to its needs with forward looking styling, luxurious appointments, a bustle back hump and an opulent interior. The MKT will not be available for sale until late summer 2009 as a 2010 model.

The three row MKT will offer a long list of creature comforts as the vehicle will be positioned to sell against similar luxury models including the Audi Q7. Among the key features of the MKT will be:

* SelectShift six-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifts * Eight-inch, color touch-screen for audio and HVAC control * Rear view camera * 20-GB hard drive for music jukebox music storage * Intelligent Access with Push Button Start * SecuriCode™ Keyless Entry Keypad * Adaptive Headlamps with High-Intensity Discharge (HID) Lamps * Auto High Beams * Rain-Sensing Wipers * Reverse-sensing parking assist system * Power opening / closing rear liftgate * 12-way powered, heated-and-cooled front row seating * Adjustable pedals * Heated second-row seats * Three-zone HVAC * Ambient lighting * Panoramic Vista Roof featuring two large glass panels * 19-inch Premium Painted aluminum wheels * Integrated spotter mirrors * And a comprehensive, complementary list of active and passive safety features designed to help protect both driver and passengers.

Besides standard front wheel drive, an all wheel drive version will also be available. The standard engine will be a 3.7L V6 while its EcoBoost 3.5L V6 will be optional. That latter engine will employ state of the art turbocharger technology to help give the engine power equivalent to a V8 engine, while returning V6 fuel economy numbers.

Starting price for the MKT should come in around $44,995 for the standard model, but closer to $55,000 for the fully loaded EcoBoost powered model.

Car tuning (or car modding) is both an industry and a popular hobby, in which a car is

modified in order to improve its performance and handling and better suit the owners

driving style. As most cars leave the factory set up for average driver expectations and

average conditions. For example cars may be altered to provide better fuel economy, produce

more power at high RPM or the ride comfort may be sacrificed to provide better handling.

Car tuning is related to auto racing, although most performance cars never compete. Rather

they are built for the pleasure of owning and driving such a vehicle. Another major facet

of tuning includes performance modification the car exterior. This includes changing the

aerodynamic characteristics of the vehicle via side skirts, front and rear bumpers, adding

spoilers, splitters, air vents and light weight wheels.

Tuning Car, at the less, is to put a V8 Engine like one Ford 350, Ford 302, or one Chevrolet Vortec V8 5500 of 295 HP to 5200 RPM with 330 Lb/Ft of Torque to 4000 RPM to one Sentra 2006, Stratus 2007 and quit this 2 horrible doors for get one coupé and one extreme Sentra or Stratus extra modified.This without forget the Nitro Oxide Systems, stabilizer

bar, electronic stability, ABS brakes, and their respective modification to the motor for

Tuning has become a way to personalize the characteristics of the vehicle to the owners

preference

That's why www.modified.tv is here to share your own cars with others tuning cars fans.
