From Transport Evolved.
New tools, new workspace, and a stalled electric motorcycle project—welcome to Nikki’s AuDHD side quests.
We’re now officially into the holiday season, which means a little extra time off work. While Nikki and the team are taking the next two weeks off, we’ve still got some fun—and slightly different—videos lined up this week.
Today’s video focuses on something we hope you’ve all got time for this holiday season: side quests. In Nikki’s case, a smattering of AuDHD, too much to do, and the lure of the newest shiny thing means the Vectrix VX-1 electric motorcycle project has been moving at a snail’s pace.
To keep the family sane (and get shop equipment out of the dining room), she’s been busy organizing, planning, and building her own workspace in the edit room—complete with a Carvera Air desktop CNC and a Bambu Lab X1C 3D printer.
Here’s a quick tour of the new setup, some of the side-quest projects she’s been tackling, and the real reason the bike still isn’t on the road yet.
