In the past few years, Swiss cycling tool startup Daysaver has brought us a clever nesting-bit hex wrench and a multifunctional tire lever. Well, the company is back on our radar again, this time with its Incredible multitool system.

Over the past few years, we've seen a number of auto makers collaborate with bike companies for branded ebikes and the latest to join the e-mobility party is Hyundai, partnering with Spain's Rayvolt for a limited version of its eXXite Next Step model.

Porsche has partnered with German bike maker Rotwild to launch two new full-suspension Performance versions of its Cross ebike that was released back in 2021, promising a "thrilling experience both downhill and uphill."

While there are now plenty of bike lights, helmet lights and turn indicators to choose from, they're usually all independently operated. The Aura system is different, in that it wirelessly coordinates multiple lights for better nighttime visibility.

For many bicycle commuters, painful shin scrapes caused by pedal strikes are just an unavoidable part of cycling. They might not have to be, however, if the designers of the rubber-bodied Bumper Pedals have anything to say about it.

Wallet-friendly e-mobility company Ride1Up has followed the February launch of the Turris adventure commuter with an all-terrain fat-tire ebike named the Rift, which can be optioned with a passenger kit for the rear cargo rack.

Given the fact that many ebikes can travel at speeds of up to 28 mph (45 km/h) with little rider effort, should those riders be wearing special helmets? The folks at French startup The Beam seem to think so, which is why they created the Virgo.

California's Hi Power Cycles has launched its first full-suspension ebike in 3 years. The 2023 Trailblazer series models are described as the ultimate full-carbon enduro, and can be had with a torquey 1,600-W mid-mount motor and 45-mile battery.

Although carrying a little dog in your bicycle's front basket may look kinda cute, it's definitely not the safest of setups – for the pooch or for you. That's where the Kvisp comes in, as it's a bike-mounted carrier designed specifically for dogs.

E-mobility outfit Vvolt says that most trips by car in the US are less than a few miles, making cargo ebikes an attractive alternative. The new Utility Series models have been "designed from the ground up to help folks ride more and drive less."

While there's no substitute for a big, burly, ultra-secure bike lock in high-theft-risk scenarios, sometimes a lighter, more compact lock is a bit more practical. That's where the Abus CombiFlex TravelGuard is designed to come in.
