Bicycles

Because bikes can skirt around traffic jams – and park just about anywhere – they're often faster than cars on congested city streets. That's why bicycle couriers exist, and it's also why the Emergency Bikes ebike ambulance was created.

The latest multitool from purveyor of cycling parts Wolf Tooth is one that might tick quite a few boxes, functioning as a set of master link pliers with a slew of different attachments tucked inside the handle.

Harley-Davidson's e-mobility venture, Serial 1, has officially announced its first four production models. Now up for pre-order, the ebikes will land in the US and Germany next year and, as expected, they're not cheap.

When it comes to bike saddles, there are stiff ones that provide maximum butt-stability when sprinting, and softer ones that are comfier on rough terrain or long rides. The new Ere Genus CC Pro, however, can be switched between three rigidity levels.

While there are now a multitude of bicycle LED turn indicators on the market, most of them require riders to press buttons on a handlebar unit. Intended to make things simpler and safer, the ticc device is instead activated via head-tilts.

Nireeka has upped the ante with its most ambitious ebikes to date. The Sierra and Nyx are a pair of lightweight, competitively priced, full-suspension off-roaders featuring high-quality components and Nireeka's gorgeous custom carbon frames.

Cargo bikes definitely are handy for hauling stuff around, but they can also be rather long and ungainly. That's where the Yoonit is designed to come in, as it can carry a variety of loads, but it's no longer than a regular bike.

Aluminum bicycle frames are usually made of lengths of tubing, joined together at the ends by welds. The CNC eFanes electric mountain bike is different, though, in that its frame is milled from solid aluminum … and it costs €15,999.90 (US$18,630).

The Livewire may be Harley-Davison's first electric motorcycle, but it's not going to be its last electric two-wheeler. Today marks its official entry into the ebike market with a brand new company named after Harley's oldest known motorcycle.

Earlier this month, we spent some time with the GX folding electric city bike from the UK's Gocycle, and were mighty impressed. Now the company has launched the limited edition G3+, which offers a 50-mile range and comes with a funky LED cockpit.

Some people refuse to wear bike helmets because they find the things to be big, heavy and gawky-looking. That's where the Danish-made Newton-Rider helmet comes in, as it's sleek, thin, and made of semi-soft materials.

Nireeka's second carbon-framed ebike is an absolute sci-fi stunner to look at. It's also seriously powerful, rocking Bafang's biggest, baddest mid-drive motor and giant 4-inch fat tires for confident off-roading. We've been riding it for a few weeks.
