Welcome to Third Angle, where we’re revving into the world of motorcycles!   Today, we're exploring the fascinating world of electric motorcycles with a spotlight on the Maeving Motorcycle Company, supported by PTC partner Concurrent Engineering.  Its latest model, the Maeving RM1S, is a significant upgrade from the RM1. With twice the power and a top speed of 70 miles per hour, it’s designed for urban commuters and those who travel beyond the city limits.   Our producer, Helen Lennard, had the opportunity to meet with co-founder Seb Inglis-Jones, who gave her a demo of their latest model, the Maeving RM1S. It draws inspiration from the 1920s and the café racer era of the 1960s and 70s, epitomized by icons like James Dean and Steve McQueen. It’s a testament to innovation and design, echoing the rich motorcycle heritage of Coventry, where British manufacturers have been designing and manufacturing bikes since the late 19th century.

“Her favourite show used to be Friends, and growing up she could hear it and she could read the captions, and it was so exciting for her that she could get that moment back.”   In the modern world we have an abundance of technology that helps us with our communication, information gathering and entertainment needs. But most of this is inaccessible for DeafBlind individuals whose primary language is tactile sign. It can be difficult for them to access news headlines, or to even find out what the weather will be like later on in the day.    Tatum Robotics is advancing accessibility by developing a robot hand that can communicate with DeafBlind people through tactile sign and allow them to access the internet. Designed to allow for as much movement as possible, the T1 Fingerspelling Hand features 18 degrees of freedom whilst still feeling as much as possible like holding a real human hand. DeafBlind people’s main source of communication is usually through human interprete

“What the water rig is at its core is a mobile water treatment technology, and it dramatically changed the lives of the people living on that site.”   Having clean, drinkable water is essential for everyone, no matter where they are. For some on-site workers on remote oil and gas drilling sites, this means transporting in large amounts of bottled water. The result is a large amount of plastic waste from the bottles and air pollution from the extra traffic.   WaterFleet provides an alternative solution. Their water treatment technology means that a mobile rig can be hooked up to an existing well or water storage source on site and provide people with clean potable water on tap. As the rig processes the water, it automatically and continually monitors the quality to ensure it’s safe. WaterFleet also uses this technology to provide temporary water solutions to areas that have been affected by natural disasters.   Our producer Eva Ruth went to the WaterFleet headquarters i
