CycleOps

Bring Your Ride Inside!
So the weather sucks, your bike rack broke down, or it's in the middle of the night and you can't sleep ... but you really want to hop on your bike, hit the road and get some exercise. With CycleOps you can bring your ride inside! Literally!

CycleOps offers a range of bike trainers to give you a roadlike feel that helps you keep up your bike routine even inside your apartment.  In essence, it's a resistance unit encased in hydraulic fluid. The harder you pedal, the hotter the fluid gets and the more resistance you experience.

But there's more: It actually makes the level of resistance also a function of cadence and gearing. The ranges of resistance you can potentially experience varies from 20 watts to 725 watts, all a function of your gearing and cadence.

The trainer easily folds up and comes with the Quick-Lock bike mount, a custom skewer, and a CTS climbing workout video.

You can also combine it with CycleOps' VirtualTraining app which lets you ride routes and race your friends all over the world via your tablet or desktop as it tracks your training data.

The World's Lightest Electric Vehicle?
Imagine 2000 watts (2.6 horsepower) on a 12 lb. longboard!

What started as a Kickstarter project is now in full swing and available for purchase. There are 3 models available:

$1299 Boosted Dual Drive – 1500 watts to go 20 mph, climb 15% grade hills, and go up to six miles on a charge.

$1499 Boosted Dual+ Drive – 2000 watts of power for 22mph, and 20% grades  ... and the $999 Boosted Single Drive – 1000 watts which will only get you up to 18mph and won't really go up any hills.

The Quadrofoil

The first all electric hydrofoiling personal watercraft
How cool is this: The Quadrofoil watercraft flies above the water with the help of underwater hydrofoils - and a top-speed of up to 40 km/h! All of it guilt-free, too, as it also boasts an all-electric outboard motor and special steering system, so not a drop of oil spoils the environment.


The company reports a full charge in 2 hours and a range of 100 km (54 nautical miles) for the Q2S model, while the Q2A’s range is cut in half to 50 km (27 nm).

Quadrofoil is available to order and ships in March. You can pre-order it for 15,000 EUR (Q2A Electric Model) or 22,500 EUR for a Q2S Electric Limited Edition.
