A groundbreaking, evidence-based model aims to close literacy gaps, strengthen compliance, and improve outcomes for students with disabilities across the United States

United States, 14th May 2026 — Dr. Mary Gene Pacut, an instructional leadership specialist in special education and early literacy systems, has unveiled a comprehensive national framework designed to transform inclusive early literacy instruction and Individualized Education Program (IEP) alignment in Kindergarten through Grade 5 (K–5) education.

The framework, detailed in her latest white paper, Strengthening Inclusive Early Literacy and IEP-Aligned Instruction in K–5 Education, introduces a scalable, evidence-based model that addresses one of the most persistent challenges in education: the literacy achievement gap among students with disabilities.

Despite decades of federal mandates such as the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), students with disabilities continue to lag significantly behind their peers in reading proficiency. National data show persistent disparities, underscoring the urgent need for systemic instructional reform and better alignment between policy compliance and classroom practice.

“Early literacy is the foundation of lifelong success,” said Dr. Pacut. “If we fail to equip students, especially those with disabilities, with strong reading skills early on, we risk limiting their academic achievement, career opportunities, and participation in society. This framework is designed to ensure that every child receives the instruction they need to succeed.”

A New Vision for Inclusive Literacy Instruction

At the core of Dr. Pacut’s framework is the integration of inclusive education, structured literacy, and IEP-aligned instruction into a cohesive system that bridges the gap between compliance and meaningful student outcomes.

The model is built on three foundational pillars:

1. Evidence-Based Literacy Instruction
   The framework emphasizes structured literacy grounded in the science of reading. This approach includes explicit, systematic instruction in phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension components proven to significantly improve reading outcomes, particularly for students with learning disabilities.
2. IEP-Aligned Instructional Design
   Rather than treating IEPs as static compliance documents, the framework transforms them into active instructional tools. Teachers are guided to translate IEP goals into daily lesson objectives, ensuring consistent delivery of individualized support and continuous progress monitoring.
3. Educator Capacity Building
   Recognizing that teacher effectiveness is a critical factor in student success, the framework prioritizes sustained professional development, instructional coaching, and collaborative learning communities to strengthen educator expertise.

Together, these pillars create a unified system that supports both instructional rigor and policy compliance while promoting equitable access to high-quality education.

From Policy to Practice: A Comprehensive Implementation Guide

To support real-world adoption, Dr. Pacut has also released a companion policy implementation guide that translates the framework into actionable strategies for school systems, districts, and state agencies. Companion Policy Implementation Guide for Strengthening Inclusive Early Literacy and IEP-Aligned Instruction in K–5 Education

Aligned Instruction in K–5 Education

Strengthening Inclusive Early Literacy and IEP-

Aligned Instruction in K–5 Education

The guide outlines a phased implementation model that includes:

• Needs assessment and system evaluation

• Framework design and resource mapping

• Pilot implementation with coaching and monitoring

• Scaling through training and cross-district collaboration

This approach aligns with federal education guidance and emphasizes continuous improvement through data-driven decision-making.

“The goal is not just to introduce a new model, but to ensure it is implemented effectively and sustainably,” Dr. Pacut explained. “We must move beyond one-time training and toward systems that support ongoing growth and refinement.”

Addressing a Critical National Challenge

The urgency of this initiative is underscored by national education data. According to the National Center for Education Statistics, students with disabilities score significantly lower in reading compared to their peers, with gaps that persist across grade levels.

These disparities are often linked to inconsistent implementation of evidence-based literacy practices and insufficient alignment between IEP goals and classroom instruction.

Dr. Pacut’s framework directly addresses these challenges by:

• Embedding literacy instruction within IEP goals

• Standardizing instructional practices across classrooms

• Strengthening collaboration between general and special education teachers

• Utilizing data monitoring tools to track progress and inform instruction

The result is a system that not only meets federal requirements but also delivers measurable improvements in student learning outcomes.

Expected Impact on Students and Educators

The implementation of this framework is expected to produce significant, long-term benefits, including:

• Improved Reading Proficiency: Targeted, evidence-based instruction leads to stronger literacy outcomes for students with disabilities.

• Enhanced IEP Effectiveness: Alignment with daily instruction ensures that IEPs drive meaningful progress.

• Increased Teacher Effectiveness: Professional development and coaching enhance instructional quality and confidence.

• Stronger Policy Compliance: Integrated systems ensure adherence to IDEA and ESSA requirements.

• System-Level Improvement: Data-driven practices foster continuous improvement and accountability.

By addressing both instructional and systemic factors, the framework offers a comprehensive solution to longstanding educational inequities.

Scalable, Sustainable, and Future-Ready

A key strength of the PACUT framework is its scalability. Designed for implementation across diverse educational settings, the model includes:

• Train-the-trainer systems to build internal capacity

• Digital platforms for resource access and data tracking

• Cross-district collaboration networks

• Integration with existing school systems and policies

These features ensure that the framework can be adapted to meet the needs of schools, districts, and states while maintaining fidelity and effectiveness

San Antonio, Texas, United States, 14th May 2026 – San Antonio-based specialty coffee company Café Del Llano is continuing its expansion across Texas and online markets while introducing American consumers to authentic Colombian coffee culture inspired by the traditions of Los Llanos, Colombia. Founded by entrepreneur Jason Torres, the growing coffee brand combines premium Colombian coffee, luxury branding, and cultural authenticity while building momentum through retail partnerships, e-commerce sales, and Amazon distribution.

Based in San Antonio, Café Del Llano was created with a vision of connecting consumers in the United States to the richness and heritage of Colombian coffee traditions through premium specialty coffee products rooted in authenticity, resilience, and craftsmanship.

The company’s story reflects an uncommon entrepreneurial journey shaped by discipline, persistence, and cultural pride. Founder Jason Torres currently works full-time in the oilfield chemical industry in Texas, managing operations in a demanding and high-pressure environment where leadership, accountability, and consistency are essential every day. Prior to his work in the energy sector, Torres also served as a Spanish analytical linguist supporting the Department of Justice.

Despite balancing long shifts and a demanding career, Torres continued pursuing his entrepreneurial vision of building a premium coffee brand that would represent more than just a beverage product.

That vision ultimately became Café Del Llano.

Inspired by Colombia’s deep-rooted coffee culture and the identity of the Los Llanos region, Torres sought to build a company centered on premium quality, cultural connection, and meaningful storytelling. Rather than positioning the brand as simply another coffee label entering the specialty market, Café Del Llano was developed to reflect resilience, family values, heritage, and the pursuit of long-term legacy.

“Café Del Llano was created to bring the richness of Colombian coffee culture to the United States while building something meaningful through hard work, authenticity, and vision,” said Jason Torres, Founder of Café Del Llano. “This brand represents more than coffee — it represents heritage, resilience, and the pursuit of the American dream.”

The company focuses on premium Colombian coffee sourced directly from Colombia while emphasizing freshness, consistency, and authenticity throughout the production process. The brand’s visual identity and product positioning combine modern luxury branding with a strong cultural foundation inspired by the traditions and character of Los Llanos, Colombia.

As Café Del Llano continues expanding its presence in the specialty coffee market, the company is growing through multiple channels, including retail partnerships throughout Texas, direct-to-consumer online sales, and Amazon distribution.

The company’s flagship product, the Café Del Llano Premium Colombian Coffee 1 lb Medium Roast Single Origin (Ground), is currently available through Amazon and features 100% Colombian Arabica beans sourced from select regions across Colombia. The product includes the Castillo coffee variety, known for consistency and strength, and is developed with a medium roast profile designed to deliver chocolate and caramel notes alongside a smooth, full-bodied finish.

The coffee is crafted to provide dependable flavor consistency while maintaining a clean and balanced taste profile without harshness. The product is packaged to preserve freshness and is designed to perform across multiple brewing methods, including drip coffee makers, pour-over brewing, French press, and espresso preparation.

The coffee’s branding and inspiration are closely tied to Meta, Colombia, and the broader Los Llanos region, which plays a central role in the company’s identity and cultural storytelling.

What continues to distinguish Café Del Llano is the contrast behind the company’s growth story.

While many emerging consumer brands are built through large startup funding rounds or full-time entrepreneurial teams, Café Del Llano has largely been developed independently while Torres simultaneously maintained a demanding full-time career in the oilfield industry.

From product development and packaging design to website creation, retail outreach, and e-commerce growth, the company has been built through persistence, self-belief, and long-term vision.

The brand’s expansion comes amid continued consumer interest in specialty coffee products, premium sourcing, and culturally authentic food and beverage experiences. By combining Colombian heritage with premium positioning and modern branding, Café Del Llano aims to establish itself as an emerging name within the competitive specialty coffee industry.

The company also continues building its digital presence through multiple online platforms, including its official website, Amazon storefront, and social media channels focused on engaging consumers interested in premium Colombian coffee culture and specialty coffee experiences.

Looking ahead, Café Del Llano plans to continue expanding its retail footprint while growing national brand recognition through e-commerce and strategic partnerships.

At its core, the company remains focused on the belief that hard work, authenticity, culture, and long-term vision can create something meaningful regardless of where the journey begins.

For Café Del Llano, the brand represents more than coffee alone.

It represents ambition, identity, entrepreneurship, and the process of building a lasting legacy one bag at a time.

Lightspeed X store owners can now ask plain-English questions about their live POS data — sales, inventory, trends, and margins — and get instant, accurate answers. No reports. No spreadsheets. No waiting.

San Jose, CA, United States, 14th May 2026 – 24Seven Commerce, a leading provider of retail integration and middleware solutions, today announced the launch of Retail Advisor by Octopus Bridge, an AI-powered retail intelligence assistant built specifically for Lightspeed X store owners and managers. The tool is available now with straightforward, accessible pricing designed for independent and multi-location retailers.

Designed exclusively for Lightspeed X users, Retail Advisor connects directly to a store’s live POS data and enables owners to ask natural language questions about inventory, sales performance, reorder needs, and business trends — receiving accurate, data-backed answers in seconds. No reports to build. No spreadsheets to maintain. No analyst required.

The average brick-and-mortar retailer spends 4+ hours every week pulling and reading operational reports — time that could be spent serving customers and growing the business. Retail Advisor reduces that to seconds.

The Problem: Data Without Access

Modern retail POS systems capture enormous amounts of operational data — every sale, every inventory movement, every customer transaction. Yet for most independent and multi-location retailers, accessing meaningful insights from that data remains a slow, manual, and technically demanding process.

“Retailers are sitting on a goldmine of data every single day,” said the team at 24Seven Commerce. “The problem has never been the data itself — it’s always been the time and technical effort required to get a straight answer from it. Retail Advisor eliminates that barrier entirely.”

The Solution: Ask Your Store Anything

Retail Advisor by Octopus Bridge functions like a ChatGPT-style assistant — but one connected directly to a Lightspeed X store’s live data. Once onboarded, Lightspeed X store owners and managers can type any business question in plain English and receive an instant, accurate answer drawn directly from their own operational data. Setup takes under two minutes with no technical configuration required.

Example queries the system answers in real time:

• “Which products will run out of stock before the weekend?”
• “What is my best-selling category this month compared to last year?”
• “Which SKUs have not sold in the past 60 days?”
• “What is my gross margin on footwear this quarter?”
• “Which store location is underperforming this week?”

Key Features and Capabilities

• Plain-English Conversations: Store owners interact with their data using natural language — no technical training, no query language, no dashboard configuration required.
• Built for Lightspeed X: Retail Advisor is designed and optimized specifically for Lightspeed X users — connecting directly to live store data with no migration, no additional hardware, and no IT involvement required.
• Single and Multi-Location Support: Whether managing one store or a network of locations, Retail Advisor provides a unified view of operations across all sites in a single conversation.
• Inventory and Reorder Intelligence: Automatically surfaces products trending upward but approaching low stock, enabling proactive reordering before stockouts occur.
• Sales and Margin Analysis: Provides instant breakdowns of sales performance, category trends, and margin data by product, category, location, or time period.
• Zero Setup Friction: Two-minute connection to existing POS system. No data migration. No new hardware. No IT involvement required.

Availability — Built for Lightspeed X

Retail Advisor by Octopus Bridge is available now for Lightspeed X store owners and managers. The platform is offered at competitive, transparent pricing tailored to the needs of independent and multi-location brick-and-mortar retailers — with a setup process that takes under two minutes and requires no technical resources.

The tool is currently available exclusively for Lightspeed X users. Support for additional POS platforms is planned for future releases.

Lightspeed X store owners can learn more and get started at https://www.24sevencommerce.com/retail-advisor.html or reach the 24Seven Commerce team directly at sales@24sevencommerce.com.

The new integration improves data quality by linking referee profiles across different sources.

Malta, 14th May 2026 — Scores24 announced the implementation of a new football-focused data integration system by linking referees between its internal database and the external provider Sportmonks.

Main Features of the Integration:

• Automatic linking of referees between databases
• Improved accuracy and consistency of information

Jupiter Lend market offers deep, scalable USDe yield designed for billions in institutional capital, powered by Fluid’s unified liquidity infrastructure.

SINGAPORE, May 13, 2026 — Jupiter, a global onchain finance platform with over $3 trillion in lifetime trading volume, today announced the launch of an Ethena asset-focused lending market, curated with global crypto asset manager, Bitwise Asset Management, and powered by Fluid, the advanced onchain lending infrastructure provider of Jupiter Lend.

This marks the first time an institutional asset manager has curated a market for Jupiter’s lending product, Jupiter Lend, signaling continued development of institutional participation in onchain lending. The inaugural lending market offers deep, scalable yield at institutional scale, with capacity designed to grow into the billions of dollars. By opening curation to traditional finance asset managers for the first time, Jupiter Lend establishes a framework to bridge institutional capital and leading lending infrastructure.

For Bitwise, curating this market on Jupiter Lend is a reflection of how DeFi is maturing. With DeFi TVL growing 238% since January 2023, from $46 billion to $156 billion[1], and institutional capital increasingly flowing onchain, Ethena’s expansion into Solana and its growing institutional ecosystem aligns with Bitwise’s conviction in the long-term trajectory of onchain finance.

Jupiter and Fluid have built unique infrastructure for efficient lending markets,” said Jonathan Man, Head of DeFi Strategies at Bitwise. “Their design offers deep liquidity and thoughtful risk-mitigating features, making it a compelling foundation for an isolated USDe market on Solana. Bitwise is proud to serve as curator alongside Jupiter and Fluid, applying our onchain asset management and risk oversight capabilities to support institutional participation.

Key Highlights

•     Dedicated USDe lending market on Jupiter Lend, isolated from existing Jupiter Lend liquidity layer and structured for institutional capital at scale
•     Curation framework extended to traditional asset managers, with Bitwise appointed as inaugural institutional curator
•     Underpinned by Fluid’s unified lending infrastructure, the most advanced collateral and risk architecture in onchain finance

Until now, institutional capital and onchain lending have mostly operated in parallel. This launch puts them in the same structure where Jupiter Lend provides the market, Bitwise curates the market, Ethena supplies the asset, and Fluid runs the infrastructure. Each piece has been independently proven, and this is the first time they have been assembled together at an institutional scale in a live onchain market.

Kash Dhanda, COO of Jupiter, said, “Now more than ever, its imperative that we take DeFi risk seriously. That’s precisely why we’re so excited to partner with Bitwise, who bring both the expertise and the institutional credibility needed to help scale onchain lending from a niche into the default way to do finance. And by working with Ethena and Fluid, two of the most technically innovative teams in the space, we’re thrilled to be able to deliver a product experience like no other.”

Guy Young, Founder & CEO, said “USDe is an institutional grade savings product, built for scale. By combining Jupiter Lend’s advanced lending infrastructure with Bitwise’s asset management expertise, we’ve created an efficient USDe market ready for Defi and institutional adoption.”

“Today, we opened our infrastructure to Bitwise, the first institutional asset manager to curate on Fluid. We’ve built the most advanced lending protocol — enabling discrete risk parameterization, advanced oracle designs, and dynamic limits that aren’t available on any other platform. By combining advanced risk management infrastructure with institutional capital management expertise, we’re designing solutions capable of breaking out of DeFi and enabling institutional scale.”

— Samyak Jain, Co-Founder & CEO, Fluid

Palo Alto, Calif, May 13th, 2026, DeepBrain AI today announced the integration of Seedance 2.0, ByteDance’s latest multimodal AI video generation model, into AI STUDIOS. Seedance 2.0 is available across multiple platforms — but the version inside AI STUDIOS is not the same Seedance 2.0 available everywhere else. AI STUDIOS brings a version of Seedance 2.0 that has been improved at the model level, extended beyond its native capabilities, and combined with an enterprise content production stack that no other implementation offers.

Seedance 2.0 accepts text, images, video clips, and audio files simultaneously and generates multi-shot video sequences in a single pass — dialogue lip-sync, background music, ambient sound, and foley included — at up to 1080p Full HD and 15 seconds per clip. The model delivers fluid, physically coherent motion and maintains consistent character appearance across scene cuts — producing footage that is, in many cases, indistinguishable from professionally filmed content.

Resolution that holds. The standard Seedance 2.0 degrades in visual quality when extending video from an end frame — a limitation that makes long-form content unreliable in production environments. AI STUDIOS eliminates this entirely. Regardless of length or how many times a sequence is extended, resolution stays consistent from the first frame to the last. For enterprise teams producing multi-scene campaigns, product demos, or broadcast content, this is the difference between a tool that works in a demo and one that ships to air.

Pronunciation that’s actually accurate. The base Seedance 2.0 model produces garbled or imprecise speech in some cases — an error that is unacceptable in any customer-facing video. AI STUDIOS corrects this at the platform level, delivering accurate, natural-sounding pronunciation across all supported languages. For brands producing content in multiple languages, this means every version of every video sounds like it was made by a native speaker — not a model that got the words slightly wrong.

Video that goes beyond one minute. Most generative video platforms — including the base Seedance 2.0 — are limited to short clips. AI STUDIOS breaks that ceiling, enabling continuous video production beyond one minute in a single generation. A full live commerce stream. A complete training module. A broadcast news segment from open to close. None of this is possible with Seedance 2.0 alone. In AI STUDIOS, it is.

150+ languages. 1,000+ voices. Built in, not bolted on. Other platforms that have integrated Seedance 2.0 stop at video generation. AI STUDIOS connects it directly to 1,000+ AI voices and dubbing and translation across 150+ languages — all within the same workflow. No export, no third-party tool, no re-recording. A single prompt produces broadcast-quality video in any language, at any length, ready for any market.

That foundation is only the beginning. A two-presenter live commerce stream. A news anchor delivering a breaking story. A training video localized into 30 languages overnight. All of it, from a single text prompt, without a camera in sight. With Seedance 2.0 integrated, AI STUDIOS avatars are now visually indistinguishable from filmed talent — moving, gesturing, and reacting with the naturalism of a real on-camera presenter. Two avatars can appear on screen simultaneously, enabling multi-presenter formats across any content type.

What once required studios, production teams, localization vendors, and multiple tools can now be done in one place. Live commerce, advertising, broadcast news, training, and social content — all from text alone, all at broadcast quality. AI STUDIOS combines AI avatar service, generative video generation, 1,000+ AI voices, and dubbing and translation in a single end-to-end workflow — script to final export. Other platforms have Seedance 2.0. AI STUDIOS has a better one — and everything built around it..

Seedance 2.0 is available in AI Studios now at aistudios.com.

CEMOTO LTD launches the D series, delivering professional-grade electric dirt bike performance starting at $969 with 2-year warranty and USA warehouse delivery.

United States, 13th May 2026, – CEMOTO LTD, a leading innovator in electric mobility with over 20 years of OEM manufacturing and export expertise, today announced the official launch of the CEMOTO D Series Off-Road Electric Dirt Bike lineup in the United States market. Engineered for riders seeking thrilling off-road experiences without compromising environmental responsibility, the D Series combines cutting-edge electric technology with professional-grade performance at accessible price points starting at just $969.

D02 Classic: The Entry-Level Gateway

The D02 Classic serves as the perfect entry point for riders new to electric dirt bikes. Featuring a 48V system with a 3000W high-torque brushless motor, the D02 Classic delivers approachable power that builds confidence while maintaining safety. Capable of reaching speeds up to 40 mph (65 km/h) with a range of 25-34 miles per charge, this model is ideal for riders taking their first steps into the electric off-road scene.

The D02 Classic features a 48V 21Ah battery with a 7-8 hour charging time, paired with 14″/12″ wheels and a comfortable 28.3″ seat height. Designed as a pure off-road machine without street kit, it offers maximum simplicity for trail-focused riders. With a max load capacity of 286 lbs (130 kg), the D02 Classic accommodates riders of various sizes.

D03 Series: Elevated Performance

Building upon the D02 foundation, the D03 Series offers two configurations designed for riders ready to elevate their riding experience. Both models feature enhanced capabilities while maintaining the same robust build quality and professional-grade components.

D03 Pro

The D03 Pro maintains the same 3000W peak power and 48V system as the D02 Classic, reaching speeds of 40 mph (65 km/h). Where the D03 Pro distinguishes itself is in its enhanced features: a larger 48V 23.8Ah battery delivering 28-37 miles of range, and a full street kit including horn for versatile on-road and off-road use. With 14″/12″ wheels and a 28.3″ seat height, the D03 Pro offers the same approachable ergonomics with added versatility.

D03 Beast

For riders who demand maximum power and performance, the D03 Beast delivers a 6000W peak power motor and 72V system. Capable of exceeding 53 mph (85+ km/h), this flagship model features a 72V 25Ah battery offering 34-46 miles of range—the longest in the D Series lineup. The D03 Beast comes equipped with larger 17″/14″ wheels, a higher 31.9″ seat height, and a full street kit, making it the ultimate choice for experienced riders seeking adrenaline-fueled adventures.

Powerful Performance Meets Sustainable Design

The CEMOTO D Series represents a significant advancement in the electric dirt bike segment. At the heart of each model lies a high-torque brushless motor delivering instant torque and whisper-quiet operation. From the D02 Classic’s approachable 40 mph to the D03 Beast’s exhilarating 53+ mph, every model has been engineered to enhance the riding experience.

“We’ve designed the D Series to prove that electric powertrains can deliver the raw excitement riders crave while eliminating the maintenance headaches and environmental impact of traditional gas engines. Every aspect of the D Series has been engineered to enhance the riding experience.”

Extended Range for All-Day Adventures

Range anxiety becomes a thing of the past with the D Series’ advanced lithium-ion battery technology. Depending on the model, riders can expect 25 to 46 miles of real-world range on a single charge—sufficient for full-day trail excursions. The intelligent battery management system optimizes power delivery while extending overall battery lifespan, ensuring consistent performance ride after ride.

Charging is equally convenient across all models, with a full charge achievable in just 7–8 hours using the included charger. Simply plug in overnight, and wake up ready to conquer new terrain.

Built for Demanding Terrain

The D Series does not just perform—it dominates. Each model features a robust high-strength carbon steel frame paired with a professional-grade suspension system including hydraulic front forks and a rear mono-shock absorber. This combination delivers exceptional stability and control across rocky trails, muddy paths, and sandy dunes.

Safety remains paramount, with twin-piston hydraulic disc brakes providing progressive, reliable stopping power in all weather conditions. The off-road tire configuration—available in 14″/12″ or 17″/14″ depending on model—ensures maximum traction when it matters most. With a max load capacity of 286 lbs (130 kg) across all models, the D Series accommodates riders of various sizes.

Consumer-Focused Value Proposition

CEMOTO understands that purchasing an electric dirt bike is a significant investment. That is why every D Series model comes backed by industry-leading customer protections:

• 2-Year Limited Factory Warranty covering motor, battery, controller, and frame

• 15-Day Easy Return Policy for unused bikes under 10 miles

• Free Shipping from USA warehouse with 3–5 business day delivery

• 85% Pre-Assembled design—most riders are trail-ready in 20–30 minutes

Lifetime Parts Support

Unlike many competitors who leave riders scrambling for parts years after purchase, CEMOTO ensures long-term ownership satisfaction—genuine D Series replacement parts are readily available at the dedicated parts store, eliminating the frustration of obsolete components and ensuring riders can keep their machines running at peak performance for years to come.

“Our USA-based inventory and support team means customers are not waiting weeks for ocean freight. When you order a CEMOTO D Series bike, you are supporting responsive, stateside service from purchase through the entire ownership experience.”

The Future of Off-Road Recreation

As environmental consciousness continues to shape consumer preferences, electric dirt bikes represent the natural evolution of off-road recreation. The D Series produces zero tailpipe emissions, operates at a fraction of the noise level of gas-powered alternatives, and requires minimal maintenance—no oil changes, no spark plugs, no complicated engine tune-ups.

Whether you are a beginner exploring local trails on the D02 Classic or an experienced rider seeking maximum performance on the D03 Beast, the CEMOTO D Series delivers serious off-road capability at a price that opens the trails to more riders. The CEMOTO D Series is available now at the official online store, with current promotional pricing offering savings of up to $500 off regular retail.
