Introducing Ausom E-scooters
Ausom is a micro-mobility developer specializing in off-road electric scooters. The company is driven by its passion for exploration, igniting the spirit of adventure in everyone who experiences its scooters. Ausom does everything it can to ensure its products are of the utmost quality.
When it comes to off-road scooter exploration, Ausom aims to deliver nothing but the best. Each of its growing line of products is equipped with tough mechanical and reliable electrical components to deliver safer ride experiences for its community of adventure enthusiasts as they explore the most challenging terrain with ease.
That entails robust electric motors and large, removable batteries that ensure seamless power delivery, unparalleled stability, and extended range. The company’s portfolio began with two flagship E-scooters, the Leopard and the Gallop, but has since expanded to five exciting products.
Ausom’s new models are highly popular among off-road enthusiasts
The previously mentioned Leopard and Gallop E-scooters debuted in 2023 with much success, but Ausom has been busy in 2024, launching four additional variants in the US and parts of the EU.
That includes the Leopard DT1 Pro. The DT1 Pro joined the standard DT1 E-scooter in Ausom’s lineup this year but provides riders with enhanced power and speed.
That stems from two 1,000-watt motors that can jolt the DT1 Pro to a top speed of 41 mph. The Ausom E-scooter is powered by a 946.4 Wh battery pack that enables up to 47 miles of all-electric range. The DT1 Pro features 10″x3″ pneumatic tires and an SUV-level swingarm suspension for added comfort across all terrain.
Other features include a dual brake system, NFC locking capabilities, USB ports, and a spot to mount an Apple Airtag (not included) if your Ausom scooter ever goes missing. The DT1 Pro starts at $1,199 but is on sale for $1,150 for a limited time. Better still, be sure to use the exclusive coupon codes below to get a Leopard DT1 Pro for $1,099.

Another new E-scooter that has made its way to the States this year is the new Gallop SR1, available exclusively in the United States. This new Ausom E-Scooter is propelled by two 1,000-watt brushless motors that spin 10″x3″ all-terrain tires. The motors are powered by a 20.8Ah battery that enables the Gallop SR1 to travel up to 54 miles on a single charge and reach a blistering top speed of 41 mph.
Other features include an aluminum frame, swingarm suspension, E-ABS and hydraulic disc brakes, and ambient lighting for nighttime cruising. The Gallop SR1 also features unique NFC security that enables a rider to lock their Ausom scooter with a tap of their smartphone.
The Gallop SR1 E-scooter is usually priced at $1,399, but you can save $50 right now during Ausom’s Halloween sale. Be sure to check out all of the available deals below, including a coupon code to purchase a Gallop SR1 for $1,299.

Tesla is going to build a new Megafactory in Texas near Houston, according to a tax abatement agreement with Waller County.
At the time of writing, Tesla had yet to comment on the new project, but the Waller County Commissioners Court confirmed the project on Wednesday when they approved a tax abatement deal with the company:
Under the proposed agreement, Tesla will receive tax abatements from Waller County based on property improvements. The deal includes $44 million in facility improvements and $150 million in Tesla manufacturing equipment that Tesla will install. The next phase involves a new $31 million distribution facility with about $2 million in Tesla distribution equipment and building upgrades.
Tesla is going to take over a 1-million-sq-ft building that it already held the lease on at the Empire West industrial park near Katy, Texas – just outside of Houston.
Logistics company DB Schenker occupied the space where it handled parts for Tesla, but it will move out and Tesla plans to build Megapack production lines at the site:

Tesla will operate a new Megapack battery storage manufacturing facility at a 1 million-square-foot building, which was initially constructed with no tenant on speculation that it would attract jobs and economic development.
Tesla has previously referred to plants producing Megapacks as “Megafactory”. The company already operates one in Lathrop, California, and one in Shanghai, China, where it just started production.
Those factories are set up for a production capacity of 40 GWh worth of Megapacks per year.
It’s not clear if Tesla plans for a similar capacity at this new factory, but the county announced project should result in creating 1,500 jobs.
In addition to the existing building, the project will include the construction of an additional “600,000-square-foot distribution facility with some manufacturing capabilities.”
Genesis is gearing up to unleash its alter ego with its upcoming Magma lineup, its debut into the world of high-performance luxury vehicles. First up is the Genesis GV60 Magma, due out later this year. As testing wraps up, the GV60 Magma was spotted alongside none other than the Porsche Taycan.
The first dedicated Genesis EV model, the GV60, will kick off another new chapter for the Korean luxury automaker.
Genesis unveiled the GV60 Magma last March, claiming it will kick off “the brand’s expansion into the realm of high-performance vehicles.” The performance EV includes an improved battery, chassis, and motor for added performance.
The Magma model boasts a wider, lower stance for more control. Other key upgrades include a wider front air intake to help cool the batteries, motor, and brakes. It also includes air curtains to maximize efficiency and an added roof fin channels air to the rear wing, generating downward force.

Genesis upgraded the interior to match the GV60 Magma’s luxurious, sporty design. It includes unique sports car-like bucket seats with exclusive “double-diamond stitching” in the Magma orange and titanium coloring.
Genesis GV60 Magma spotted with the Porsche Taycan
With its official debut coming up, the sporty Genesis GV60 Magma was spotted testing alongside a Porsche Taycan and Hyundai’s IONIQ 5 and IONIQ 6 N models.
Despite the camouflage, the video from CarSpyMedia reveals a few new design elements, like the two-line headlight featured on the updated GV60 model.

Genesis will launch the GV60 Magma later this year in its home market, followed by the US, Europe, and others. Production is scheduled to start in the third quarter of 2025.
Will the Genesis GV60 Magma keep up with the Porsche Taycan or Tesla Model S Plaid? Priced and specs will be revealed closer to launch, but it will sit above the Performance AWD trim, which starts at $69,900 in the US. With up to 429 horsepower and 516 lb-ft of torque, it can hit 0 to 60 mph in 3.7 seconds.
