Sacramento – September 20, 2026 -- Folding bike maker DAHON has unveiled a new engineering methodology called DAHON-V tech, designed to fix a long-standing problem in the folding bike category: frames that flex, hinges that loosen, and drivetrains that buckle under load.

DAHON tested more than 40 bikes to find what separates a flexy folder from a fast one

The company's R&D team ran comparative tests across competitor and in-house models, measuring frame and seatpost rigidity, overall bike stiffness, and dynamic rocking behavior. Dr. David Hon, Founder and CEO of DAHON, said the resulting DAHON-V tech suite combines physics, computerized finite element analysis (FEA), and strain gauges to test the riding stiffness of bike frames.

Hershey, Pennsylvania – September 19, 2026 -- Aliner is bringing back its discontinued Alite camper for the 2027 model year, unveiling the redesigned unit this week at America's Largest RV Show in Hershey, Pennsylvania, alongside dealer Beckley's RV.

The camper weighs just 672 pounds and tows behind nearly any vehicle

The 2027 Alite is Aliner's lightest and most compact hard-sided camper, measuring 11 feet in overall length with an 80-inch interior peak height. It includes a 58-inch by 76-inch sleeping area, roadside and curbside bench seating, and 2.7 cubic feet of exterior front storage.

Production ended nearly a decade ago, but demand never stopped

The original Alite built a loyal following as an ultra-lightweight, easy-to-own camper. Even after Aliner discontinued it, dealers and customers kept asking when it would return, according to Brett Randall, President and CEO of Aliner.

A new hybrid Wilderness trim joins the off-road lineup

The 2027 Forester Wilderness Hybrid, priced at $40,495 MSRP, marks the first time Subaru has paired its rugged Wilderness package with a hybrid powertrain. It offers 9.3 inches of ground clearance, Yokohama GEOLANDAR all-terrain tires, and Subaru's X-MODE Dual-Mode system, delivering better fuel economy than the gas-only Wilderness without sacrificing all-wheel-drive capability.

El Monte, Calif. – September 18, 2026 -- Addmotor has introduced its 2026 electric trike lineup, featuring the Freetan semi-recumbent series, the UTrike tilting series, and the Freetri folding e-trike, expanding the company's range of three-wheel electric vehicles sold in the U.S.

The Freetan pairs full suspension with a reclining seat for extended comfort

Built on a 6061 aluminum alloy frame, the Freetan uses a 750W rear-drive motor with the company's EB2.0 control system and a torque sensor, powered by a 48V 20Ah Xuanwu battery. An 80mm front fork and dual rear shocks absorb road impacts, while the backrest reclines between 90 and 170 degrees. The design targets seniors, riders recovering from surgery or limited joint mobility, desk workers with back strain, and fitness-focused cyclists.

Fans attending the festival at Laguna Seca raceway can watch professional drivers Corey Hosford and Micah Diaz pilot the two custom builds through full-course drift exhibitions.

The drift cars started as production Charger Scat Pack vehicles powered by the 550-horsepower, twin-turbocharged SIXPACK H.O. engine, then were reengineered into dedicated drift machines. The two-door version, called the Dodge Charger BOOST Coupe, is built for all-out performance, while the four-door Dodge Charger RPM (Rapid People Mover) is designed to thrill passengers during drift demonstrations.

A 14-year-old with Tourette syndrome becomes the face of the launch

ENGWE named Carter Metcalfe, 14, as Eagle's product ambassador. Metcalfe, who has Tourette syndrome, has said mountain biking gave him confidence and a way to express himself as he faced challenges growing up. He now shares his story to encourage other young riders to take on new challenges.

Bristol – September 17, 2026 -- As shorter days, changing weather and busy fall weekends set in, glass cleaner brand Sprayway has teamed up with NASCAR driver Jeb Burton to share five practical tips for keeping vehicles clean and windshields clear.

Burton races the No. 27 Sprayway Chevrolet at Bristol Motor Speedway on September 18

Burton will compete in the NASCAR O'Reilly Auto Parts Series race at Bristol Motor Speedway, where rubber, oil and debris buildup on the track make visibility critical. He applies the same cleaning habits from race day to his personal vehicle.

"Visibility is everything when you're behind the wheel," Burton said. "At the track, things happen fast, so we make sure the windshield, mirrors and helmet visor are clean before the race. I use Sprayway because it leaves a streak-free shine, and that same routine works just as well in my everyday vehicle."
