After recently being named Europe’s least green auto manufacturer (despite their new autopilot feature) and opposing new CO2 emission cuts, Volkswagen recently got their lil’ Vader Superbowl commercial spoofed by Greenpeace in an effort to bring the company’s Mother Nature hating ways to light (get it?! Like, not the dark side!). This is the result, in two parts. The first part is okay. The second part turns into a Star Wars dance party. And we all know how those end, don’t we? “With a Wookie dry-humping an Ewok in a corner by the stage?” LOLWUT?! That sounds like one f*** of a Sadie Hawkins! “It was. They built up so much static electricity they set the entire gymnasium on fire.” Mmmm, love the smell of burning hair at a dance.
Hit the jump for the vids, also IAM’s ‘l’empire du côté obscur’, because it’s the best Star Wars song ever made (in French, but I added a link to the translated lyrics so it’s all good).

The concept of “last few mile mobility” is one which we’ll all grow accustomed to over the next decade as the world’s cities become more congested and non-polluting micro mobility concepts begin to supplement other forms of transport. In the last year alone we’ve seen Toyota’s Winglet, Honda’s U3-X, Nissan’s electric skis, and now Volkswagen has shown a micro mobility concept which it has dubbed the “Bik.e” – a folding electric bike with one of the most ingenious folding mechanisms we’ve seen. With a range of 20 kilometres (12.5 miles), the Bik.e has 20 inch wheels and folds to a footprint identical to that of a car spare tyre, enabling it to be stowed away easily. Whatsmore, the bik.e will definitely see production, and possibly even before the end of the year. VW’s choice of form factor is as fascinating as its choice of a recognisable name is inspired.
