Bicycles

Cargo ebikes are being touted as smaller, cheaper replacements for cars, and Xtracycle's Hopper is no exception. The California-based company states that the vehicle is "designed to be the most intuitive, easy to ride, compact family cargo bicycle."

While many bike lights are made to provide side visibility, SeeMe takes the concept a whole lot further. The system's head and tail lights incorporate wraparound LED lighting strips, along with HD cameras that record any accidents which may occur.

Budget ebike brand Heybike is looking to tap into the growing car-replacement cargo bike space with the Hauler, a longtail model with a payload capacity of 440 lb, 1,400 watts of motor power on call and a dual-battery range of 85 miles.

Shimano has been granted a US patent on a wireless electronic cleat system for cycling shoes. The system is used to adjust the position of the shoe relative to your pedals as you ride.

Looking like a cross between a pedaled dump truck and modern motor carriage, the new Intelectra is a muscular e-cargo mover for cities. It carries just under 1,000 lb of payload and operates via a low-maintenance electronic pedaling system.

Seattle's Rad Power Bikes is hoping to tempt new riders to its ebike stable with the launch of the RadKick step-through – a Class 2 cargo-ready commuter with chain drive for $1,200 or clean and quiet belt drive for just 200 bucks more.

Ford has become the latest in a long line of auto makers to try and break into the ebike market, partnering with e-mobility outfit N+ for a licensing deal to launch full-squish two-wheelers inspired by the Mustang sports car and Bronco off-road SUV.

For pedal bikers, being super tall can cause serious problems – even with XL frames. That's where DirtySixer comes in, with its extra-large-framed, big-wheeled bikes and ebikes. Now the latter are riding with Bosch motor power.

Trek has announced the launch of the "most requested trail ride of the year." The high-end bike maker's new Slash+ enduro model treats dedicated rough riders to a little motor assist and a brand-new battery so they can stay in the saddle longer.

Sometimes a cyclist needs a big, old basket. Sometimes a big, old basket is the last thing they need. The new Allpacka One ensures they're happy in both cases, riding as a flat rack on regular commutes and fast-folding into a 30-L basket on demand.

Let's be honest … general-use ebikes are often pretty clunky, with their welded aluminum construction. The "monocoque-look" Avian definitely bucks that trend, as it sports what is claimed to be the world's lightest titanium ebike-specific frame.

While it's important to have a properly fitting bicycle, not all bike store employees have the time or expertise to perform a full bike-fit session with each customer. That's where the Smartfit Q2 kiosk comes in, as it uses AI to do the job quickly.

Canadian ebike maker Rocky Mountain has launch an adventure model called the Reaper Powerplay that's described as a "full-sized electric trail bike in a junior-sized package" and rides as the first mid-motor, full-suspension eMTB for kids.

If you shy away from applying your bike's front brake, you're not alone. That's why Magura created its Integral Braking System (IBS), which automatically modulates stopping power between both brakes via a single hand-pull.

World Bicycle Relief has declared its Buffalo Bicycle the strongest available for rural terrain, and it hasn't taken the redesign lightly. With the Buffalo S2, it's reworked the basic chain, gears and pedals into a unicorn: a two-chain drivetrain.
