Bicycle

Optimized for the space-strapped needs of RVers and boaters, the new Flatbike Change Adventure folding bike is built to be an untethered force in 2-wheeled escape. Throw it in an RV, 4x4, packraft or train and start an epic multi-vehicle expedition.

While it's always important to accommodate bicycle commuters, bike parking spots on trains can't seat non-cyclists when not in use. An experimental setup currently being trialled in Switzerland, however, may soon change that.

The new Anod Hybrid bike is technically more of a 'tri-brid,' adding supercapacitors to the usual battery plus pedal power equation. This provides quick-bursting power and cuts the battery bulk down to the size of a portable power bank.

The Dutch love to cycle. So much so that there are more than 35,000 km of cycle paths snaking through the Netherlands. Two of those bike routes have now been topped with photovoltaic cells to produce renewable energy while they face skyward.

The Pi-Pop ebike doesn't look like a hotbed of innovation at first glance, but it is. The bike houses a unique electric-assist system that trades out the battery pack mandatory on other ebikes in favor of a more active supercap-boosted system.

Yes, it's a bike. And yes, it's an exorbitantly expensive Lotus ebike, not a cheap Lotus car. But the 21.6-lb (9.8-kg) Lotus Type 136 is so loaded with singular heritage and cutting-edge tech that it could be to cyclists what the great Esprit was to drivers.

Ebikes have come a long way in terms of sleeker, simpler styling, but they still often stick out with odd geometries, bloated tubes and large motors. QU-ET pursues a more classic, understated design direction with the Unfair Advantage city ebike.

Indian’s ebike is made by SUPER73 and branded as an Indian eFTR Hooligan. I took Indian Motorcycles’ ebike for a spin both on and off the pavement and found it’s well-named for what it is: a street-OK electric bike that really shines on the dirt trail.

Core Technologie recently put its 3D printing software to work in creating a single-speed bicycle. The aluminum and carbon bike ranks among the lightest out there, barely pushing the scale needle past the minimum weight of a Tour de France racer.

TinyVroum's bicycle camping trailer looks and lives more like a motor vehicle caravan. The company has used light backpacking equipment to give its ebike-pulled CapsulBike camper the amenities of a larger RV, including a galley, power and wet bath.

Ebikes can be a hassle to transport by car, given their added size and weight. Pender makes it easier with a roof-mounted hydraulic lift that hooks the bike from the ground and whisks it onto the car roof with minimal effort.

Pumping up deflated tires has to be one of the most cumbersome tasks on two wheels. The electronic Mini Pump, pitched as the world’s lightest tire inflator, is just the kind of handy gadget that you’ll want to take along for the ride.
