Carbon Fiber

UK mobility startup Evari is heading to Eurobike in Frankfurt, Germany, later this month with a smooth-looking premium ride called the 856, an ebike rocking a monocoque carbon fiber frame, a Bosch Performance Line drive and titanium components.

Some ebikes look much like regular bikes, and offer regular-bike-like motor-assisted top speeds. Others, however, really lean into the whole high-tech "transportation of the future" thing … and the Specter 1 definitely falls into the latter group.

While cargo bikes definitely are useful, we tend not to think of the things as being sleek or lightweight. Both of those words, however, could be applied to the Maniac & Sane bikes – one of which has an electric-assist motor.

While we have heard about heavy-lift drones before, they're typically big things that have to be transported in a vehicle. The Hera, however, can lift 33 lb (15 kg) yet also be carried by one person in a backpack.

People in the mountain biking community are likely already familiar with Tony Ellsworth, the designer behind the Ellsworth Bikes brand. His latest creation is a quirky limited-edition carbon fiber commuter ebike, and it's called the Radiant Carbon.

Both gravel bikes and electric bikes are becoming more popular, so it should come as no surprise that we're seeing an increasing number of gravel ebikes. One of the latest, the E-Flash, features a carbon frame at a relatively low price.

If you can get past the strange looks, the Lava Me 3 has a carbon fiber sound all its own, and some wicked new digital smarts. A touchscreen interface gives you access to stackable effects, loopers, tuners, high-quality portable recording and more.

Last year, German Bionic revealed a fourth generation of its Cray X exoskeleton, keeping things light by employing a carbon fiber frame. Now the 5th gen has been announced, which is reported to be the first of its kind to support two body regions.

It was just a couple of weeks ago that we told you about DirtySixer's latest 36-inch-wheeled mountain bike. If you liked it, but would prefer something with a carbon fiber frame and wheels, then you might want to check out the Trentasei//36 Carbon 1.
