Bicycles

It's convenient to have a headlight that's always on your bike, but the things can just get in the way when they're not needed. The Owlight was designed with that problem in mind, as it hides inside the handlebar during daylight hours.

A new contender in the race to make the sleekest ebike, Bonc uses a frame-integrated battery to maintain the thin-tubed diamond geometry of a road commuter. An inconspicuous water bottle-style range-extender boosts available assist to 85 miles.

Although there are already cycling jackets and vests with integrated rear lights, those aren't going to do you much good if you cover them with a backpack. That's where the Torch pack comes in, as it has an integrated lighting system of its own.

Back in 2018, the UK's Revolutionworks launched the Revos, an add-on kit designed to give a standard bike electric assist. Now the Bristol-based company has released an ebike of its own, a lightweight commuter called the Whippet.

Although many cyclists utilize custom insoles in their shoes, they typically just use one-size-and-shape-fits-all grips on their handlebars. German startup Personomic is out to change that, with grips that are custom-made for individual users' hands.

Although there are now various types of cycling multitools on the market, most of them simply incorporate a selection of hex wrench bits. The Coworking5 rounds up five other types of bike-related tools, and combines them in one gadget.

While some ebikes are simply designed to make cycling easier, others are intended to outright replace cars. VanMoof's just-announced V ebike will be very much the latter, as it should have a top speed of 50 km/h (31 mph), along with two-wheel drive.

Gravel bikes are growing in popularity not just among backcountry trailblazers, but among commuters chasing road-bike-like geometries and greater comfort. The latest from Specialized brings incredible lightness to the table, too.

The elimination of the front derailleur on many bikes has made cycling simpler, but reduced the number of gear ratios. That's where the Powershift hub comes in, as it replaces the front derailleur, allowing for more gears on 1x drivetrains.

Wireless charging systems for electric cars certainly are convenient, as drivers just park the vehicle, get out, and leave it to charge. Well, Dutch company Tiler has created a similar technology for ebikes.

Even though mountain bikers can manually adjust their bike's suspension, most of them don't constantly do so throughout each ride. That's where the new RockShox Flight Attendant system comes in, as it automatically adjusts the suspension as needed.

Ares Design is known for four-wheel creations, but it's ready to prove it knows its way around two wheels, too. Partnering with ebike maker HPS, it presents a $22,000 ebike that weighs under 20 pounds and looks like a non-electric commuter.
