Bicycles

Belgian ebike maker Cowboy has launched its next generation commuter bikes. The Cowboy 4 comes with 50 percent more torque, custom components, an upgraded frame, and is joined by a new step-through edition.

While stationary trainers do allow users to cycle indoors, the things tend to just sit there and spin – with a few exceptions, that is. Rocker plates add some tilting action, though, with KOM Cycling's new RPV2 being the latest to hit the scene.

California's Aventon Bikes says that the recently launched Aventure is the most powerful and versatile ebike it's designed so far, equipped to pedal or throttle from road to beach to forest trails to mountain paths.

Austrian manufacturer Tubolito is already known for its tough, lightweight plastic bicycle inner tubes. Now, the company has added a chip to one model, which allows users to check their tire pressure using an app.

E Movement has pedaled out on its latest model, a UK road warrior named Thor that's pitched as an all-weather and multi-terrain ride combining a Bafang drive system with a Samsung battery for up to 80 miles of assisted range per charge.

The S3 and X3 city ebikes from Dutch emobility company VanMoof already offer up to 93 miles of per-charge range, but now the company has launched a range extender that puts up to 62 additional miles at a rider's disposal.

Canada's Biktrix, the company behind last year's impressive Juggernaut HD Duo electric fat bike, has launched its first moped-style ebike, the Moto, which boasts a per-charge range of more than 100 miles.

One of the more flamboyant ebikes to ever put rubber to hard ground, the Xion CyberX also packs an impressive list of specs. Riders can accelerate up to 50 mph in seconds or take things slow and nomadic, wandering up to 100 miles per charge.

There are some people who feel no need for an ebike during regular cycling, but who would like an electric assist when pulling a trailer. Well, that's where the new motorized Ein trailer is designed to come in.

Juiced Bikes has updated 2019's Scorpion half ebike/half moped. The Scorpion X has been treated to a bigger battery, a geared hub motor that can be unlocked for off-road adventures, and both torque and cadence sensors for pedal assist.

If a thief is sufficiently motivated, they can get through pretty much any bike lock. That's where the PentaLock comes in – it makes a bicycle un-pedalable, regardless of whether or not that bike is also locked up to an adjacent object.

While there are now many turn-indicator bike lights on the market, their bar-mounted controls are just one more bit of clutter to manage. Eesen's Shield tail light/turn indicator takes a different approach, as it's activated with a turn of the head.
