Like many oddball ideas, the JackRabbit micro ebike began as a crowdfunding project in 2018. The cross between a compact bike and scooter has been growing in power and size ever since, with the new Pro models being the most beastly yet.

The first scooter to roll out of Ultraviolett’s production line is finally here, and from what I can gather, it was well worth the wait. There’s so much to like about this e-scoot, especially its INR120,000 (US$1,380) price tag. But is there a catch?

Cycling today can involve taking a lot of tech along for the ride. For the third collaboration, Yashica and I'm Back are aiming to ease your journey with a smart helmet designed for "urban commuters, ebike enthusiasts, and tech-savvy riders."

The efficiency of a tooth-on-tooth geared transmission, with the smoothly variable gear ratios of a CVT – minus the belt friction and capable of going all the way down to a zero ratio without needing a clutch. That's a 'holy grail' level promise!
