Electric scooters are booming in big cities and piling up on sidewalks and causing a slew of accidents. Now here is
Yamaha's Tritown scooter, which gives an innovative take on the electric scooter that aims to fix the usual electric scooter's flaws. Designed as a last-mile mobility solution and using Yamaha's Leaning Multi-Wheel mechanism, the Tritown has dual front wheels and is controlled by the rider's balance. The Tritown stands upright at a stop, and never requires the rider to step off the scooter until they've reached their destination. It has a 380 Wh battery powers a 500-watt motor mounted in the rear. I'ts top speed is about 15 MPH. The Tritown weighs in at 88 pounds and is just over three feet long, making it light and compact while having a substantial structure and lighting. The project looks to be ready for production, and the rumor is that it will be available for purchase within the year.
Samsung's Galaxy Note has always been known for its boundary-pushing screen and pen-based interaction. The new
Note 10 ($950+) offers both, in a smaller size. 6.3-inches is the size of the Dynamic AMOLED display in the standard model, while the newly-named 10+ has a 6.8-inch screen more in line with past models. Both offer edge-to-edge coverage, a re-designed, uni-body S Pen, expanded DeX capabilities, and improved cameras, including a 3D-scanning DepthVision camera in the 10+. A vapor chamber cooling system helps boost gaming performance, and 5G-capable versions provide access to the fastest possible cellular data speeds. If you're looking to get one, they're taking pre-orders now!

The games haven't changed in a long while, and now the cabinets you remember as a kid are back as well and ready to power up at your home.
Arcade1Up ($250+) brings 1980's and 90's nostalgia back with a full roster of games that includes Mortal Kombat, Golden Tee, Marvel Superheroes, and more... The cabinets are around 4 feet tall and they do have the option to add a riser so you can play standing up. They have 17-inch LCD monitors, so the games of the past look better than ever, with high-quality artwork that is faithful to the originals. Cabinets range from 2 games to 12 with a coin-less operation and arcade controls just like you remember.
Architect
Marco Zanuso created this minimalist design in 1965, taking its name and shape from the Italian word for skyscraper: "
Grattacielo". This minimalist
Grattacielo Radio Speaker ($199) design catches the eye and the curiosity of the design.

Available in black or white, the radio also includes a wake-up alarm with snooze feature, auxiliary audio input, and stereo headphone output, as well as the ability to listen to FM radio.
