Siekon Motor showed an electric "Cruise Prince" touring motorcycle at the Canton Fair last week, and I stumbled upon it while walking the halls. It was all somewhat disarming really, because I've been writing about motorcycles for 50 years ... and I'd never heard of Siekon Motor.

The adventurous tiny RV is also built on an actual production-bound electric transporter, so it could even come to fruition.
