500: maintenance mode

Greetings from the Engine Room!

Sorry, but there's really nothing to see here right now. Our server is in maintenance mode – and our little bot is trying to sort the error messages with its last bit of energy.

Whether it was a data leak, a power outage in the cluster, or just a grumpy bit – we don't know yet. But what we do know is:

The data drama escalated into a server meltdown. But don't worry: We're on it.

What now?

Everything is surely running smoothly over at our colleagues from inside digital – why not stop by!
Or you could pass the time by visiting our social media channels – for example Instagram, YouTube or TikTok. At least there are no server problems there – promised.

Thanks for your patience. Our bot is already rebooting at full speed. 🔧

VMAX VX 2 ST review: Speedy scooter lacking in features

With a peak power of up to 1,300 watts, the VMAX VX 2 ST is significantly more powerful than other e-scooters out there.

Ado A20 XE review: How good is this foldable e-bike?

Foldable e-bikes are the perfect solution for last mile problems. You can bring them with you on the bus or train without having to pay for an extra ticket, followed by cruising to work without getting sweaty. The Ado A20 XE is foldable e-bike, offers a 250-watt electric motor from Bosch, and costs under C$1,600 online. That’s exciting enough to strap the e-bike under your butt for a week. Here’s my review of the A20 XE from A Dece Oasis, or “Ado” for short!
