The company has cited the reason for the recall to be excessive vibrations. According to the company, both motorcycles have a couple of components out of place inside the engine and drivetrain.

MAHLE on Wednesday said that the company is developing a new kind of magnet-free electric motor that does not require rare earth elements. This not only makes production more environmentally compatible, but also brings advantages in terms of costs and resource security, the company said in a release.

But, given the path Jaguar has chosen to follow to its 100-per-cent electric future – that of Bentley-rivalling luxuriousness with price tags to match – you could look at this latest I-Pace as a bit of a snip. Three years ago, the arrival of the I-Pace – Jaguar ’s first fully electric car – stole the march on the traditional premium sector’s less than enthusiastic rollout of EVs.

It looked mega, it wasn’t a Tesla, would take you some 200 miles on a single charge, and was British designed and engineered. But with an overly optimistic official range compared to reality and relatively slow charging, it had room to improve. And while the rest of the automotive world caught up quickly, Jag’s geek squad got tinkering. It looks just the same, so there is nothing to report there with it being just as genuinely striking and substantial in … [Read more...] about Jaguar’s new all-electric I-Pace is the cat’s whiskers
