Lightweight

Bike Friday has been hand-building custom folding bikes and ebikes since being founded in 1992. Now with some 40,000 bikes shipped, the company has officially announced a new ultralight ebike model called the All Day.

Designed to rip 90% of the load off a hiker's back and drop it on wheels, the X-Trek is a versatile hiking tool. It stays light by using hiking poles as part of its frame, quickly transforming into a backpack for carrying over rough terrain.

Inspired Overland's new Stargazer limited edition rooftop tent features the same style of ultralight construction as its past models and opens up a big view of the sky from below a full-length transparent roof panel.

A new generation of ultralight tents combines pared-down construction with increased convenience at camp. The Lunar Orbiter is the latest, using a wide-spanning exterior pole structure to increase volume and deliver lightning-fast setup.

DJI launched an "ultralight, compact wireless microphone" this week called the Mic Mini. Weighing just 10 g, you may not even notice it's there. But the day before, an Boya stole much of DJI's thunder with a cheaper, smaller and lighter namesake.

Scott Sports has launched its most advanced urban ebike to date. The Silence eRide "is lightweight, sporty and elegant" and described as a work of art. The stylish ride features a carbon frame, German mid-mount motor and internal battery.

Thecatal has some unique ideas about camping. After 2023's massive man-machine Magic Fort vehicle tent, the company has slimmed its camping conceptualizations way down into a new ultralight backpacking tent that pitches in as little as 10 seconds.

Brompton went electric back in 2017, and has since launched a number of tasty folding ebikes. But even its lightest is heavier than the Flit M2, and is a good deal pricier too. First announced in 2022, the Brompton killer is now up for pre-order.

ADO has launched an Indiegogo campaign for what's billed as the lightest carbon folding ebike – at 12.5 kg. That's not the lightest with the Hummingbird Flax ($6250) and Electric ($5,625) both weighing 10.3 kg and the $7995 Yikebike Model C weighing in at 11.4 kg. The ADO Air Carbon is MUCH cheaper though.

Last year, Nitecore put a new emphasis on "flat light" with its EDC27. After a little electronics tinkering, it's bested itself with the EDC25, a slightly lighter flashlight that fires out 3,000 lumens with more throw, intensity and overall runtime.

With its all-new Go, Tentbox grabs the rooftop tent market's top spot for ultralight design. The Tentbox Go isn't the sleekest, fanciest car-top abode, but it sets up in under two minutes, sleeps two, and is light enough to ride atop small cars.

Many electric vehicles look very cold and high-tech, alienating some potential buyers. The Carice TC2 two-seater convertible is different, in that it draws heavily on the retro-nostalgia factor. It's lightweight and peppy, to boot.
