Bicycles

Vintage Electric's electric bikes literally ooze retro charm. For its latest limited edition creation, the company has taken design cues from Carroll Shelby's personal Cobra 289 Slab Side.

The automotive consultancy division of Group Lotus has teamed up with Hope Technology for a new track bike aimed at helping the Great Britain Cycling Team to bring home Olympic gold.

While some companies make e-bikes that are as similar to regular bikes as possible, others really geek out on the high-tech features. The X One is definitely an example of the latter, as it even features a facial recognition system.

A helmet designed for maximum ventilation won’t be the best in terms of aerodynamics, but an Australian researcher is working on a dynamic version that could offer cyclists both, by changing shape at different stages of a race.

The newly-updated Swytch is claimed to be the world's lightest and smallest e-bike conversion kit.

The just-announced Dart tool, made by Stan's NoTubes, is designed to better-fix larger punctures in mountain bike tires.

The Tricksy is designed to serve as both a cargo trike and a shopping cart.

Bicycle seats are relatively easy to steal, which is where the user-removable SeatyGo comes in.

In the battle of the uber-practical half-e-bike, half-moped urban getabout, Juiced Bikes has fired its latest salvo: the Scorpion.

Karmic's Oslo e-bike looks futuristic, and has just hit Kickstarter.

The Sivrac e-bike can be folded for transit in one second, features a removable battery, touch-activated rear light and six-speed transmission.

Bicycles can be awkward to store and to carry on public transit, which is part of the reason that Japan's Outre developed its bizarre new One Point Five.
