If you can’t decide between a moped and an electric bike, Juiced Bikes can make the decision for you with their Scorpion. Although it looks like a moped with motorcycle tires instead of cookie-sized versions, you can still pedal the thing. It’ll give you 28 mph and a 45-mile range with its 750-watt hub motor and 52-volt battery. There are even real shocks in front and back and a bona fide hydraulic front disc brake. The Scorpion also gets a Shimano seven-speed gearset for smooth shifting. The big tires provide stability and traction, and the skateboard seat may accommodate a passenger while cramping speed and range a bit. Lights, fenders, and a rear rack make it everyday practical, too. Preorders are up now for delivery in the spring of 2020.

Unzip your coat and have some mulled wine on the house—you’ve arrived at your final gifting destination: The Holiday Gift Guide. It’s like your friendly neighborhood one-stop holiday shop, except instead of balsa wood ornaments, ours is packed with thoughtful gifts for everyone on your list. Future heirlooms, small-but-significant stocking stuffers, and gear for getting out there (or staying in)—are all right here. There’s no music playing in the background though, so you’ll just have to hum Bing Crosby while you click around instead.
