Gas/Electric Hybrids, Air Cars in the News

Posted by michael on from the i'd-buy-a-civic-hybrid-if-the-price-came-down dept.

hackshack writes "eCycle is developing a hybrid diesel / electric motorcycle designed to get 180 miles per gallon. The small diesel engine kicks in at speeds over 12mph, and the electric motor handles acceleration. Target retail price is $5,500. They've got a beta test program going as well. Now I can laugh at all those "gas-guzzling" Insight drivers as I zoom by!" Reader clen writes in about the Toyota Prius doing well in a road rally, and fishdan sent in a note about a pure-electric concept car called the Tango. And the air-powered car is getting a little more media attention, too.

    A few seconds after I touched the ecycle site, my firewall logged an incoming attempt from somebody at 208.245.238.225, trying to connect to port 80 on the home machine. That IP address resolves to:

    225.238.245.208.in-addr.arpa. domain name pointer mail.ecycle.com.
    225.238.245.208.in-addr.arpa. domain name pointer ecycle.com.

    Anybody else see this? Are they infected with something? What are they trying to do there?
