Canadian company Nireeka has been making absolutely outrageous ebikes for a few years now, and its latest performance-focused creation packs so much power it really should come with a statutory warning or three.

Bicycle lights don't do you much good if you forget to bring them or charge them. The wÿnd helmet was designed with that fact in mind, as it features a set of hand-crank-charged lights that you simply pull out and mount on your bike whenever needed.

Mahle is reported to be one of the world's largest manufacturers of automotive components. But the company also makes ebike motors and has now launched into the eMTB space with a mid-drive claimed to be "one of the most powerful systems on the market."

VanMoof has risen from the ashes of bankruptcy courtesy of McLaren Applied, and launched its first new ebikes since going under in 2023. The S6 series is said to be "the culmination of 5 generations and 11 years of ebike innovation."

When we last heard from mobility startup Infinite Machine, the company was busy touting its decidedly Cybertruck-looking P1 electric scooter. Well, the firm is now venturing into new territory, with the announcement of its striking Olto ebike.

The race is on to create the smallest, lightest ebike drive. An innovative, new contender, the Magnetic Gear Motor from Star Union swaps out physical gears in favor of a magnetic gear system that compacts the core while cutting friction.

A cargo ebike can be an attractive alternative to the family car when heading into town to pick up groceries. If you can't afford a couple of grand for infrequent use, shared mobility outfit Veo has launched the first dockless model in North America.

The TQ HPR50 electric motor drive has underpinned some of the lightest, most inconspicuous electric bikes out there. TQ takes the next step forward with the HPR60, which boosts power even higher while putting on only a fraction of a pound.

While automatic gear-shifting for bikes isn't unheard of, such setups typically require batteries that have to be frequently recharged. This is not the case with Shimano's new Q'Auto system, however, as it draws on the rider's own pedaling power.

Cargo ebikes can be very handy when you need to haul stuff, but they're kinda big and clumsy when you don't. The Convoy C.01 was created with that fact in mind, as it temporarily converts regular bikes into e-cargoes within a matter of seconds.

Some folks don't like bicycle helmets because the things wobble around on top of their heads like big, loose mushroom caps. That's where the Echo Pro comes in, as its sides can be squeezed in and locked in place for a firm, sleek fit every time.

A couple of years ago, Yamaha launched a new sub-brand aimed at offering ebike riders a battery swap option. Now ENYRING has partnered with Swobbee to build swapping stations in two European cities.

A couple of months ago, New Jersey ebike maker Velotric unleashed a multi-terrain fat-tire adventure model with impressive cargo hauling and towing chops. Now there's an even more capable Nomad.

Studies have shown that many people don't commute by bike due mainly to a fear of being hit by cars. A new bike-mounted proximity sensor has been designed to help such folks, by objectively telling them which streets are the safest for cyclists.

Even if your business uses cargo bikes for multiple purposes, you shouldn't have to buy complete stand-alone bikes for each of those tasks. That's the thinking behind the Cyclauto, which features a modular semi-trailer-truck-like design.
