If you think eBikes are a fad, think again. More mainstream and niche bike manufacturers are getting into the tech, and soon they’ll be ubiquitous and someday more affordable. Xmera has created a different spin on the eBike with their Bionic. Not only does it look different, resembling a small scrambler motorcycle without the engine, it also provides electric pedal and uses the Internet of Things by tracking the important stuff like heart rate, distance, and calories. But it’s more than just data. The included fitness band sends info to the bike to adjust pedal assist levels with auto and dynamic modes. There will be two models offered: a 750-watt model good for up to 20 mph and a 250-watt model that will top out at 16 mph. The battery in both bikes has a range of 37 to 120 miles on a full charge (depending on use), and there’s even an available backup battery to eke out more miles. Check it out on Indiegogo where it’s already surpassed its goal with a month left in the campaign.

Vaer’s G5 Meridian Watch Looks and Feels Better Than the Five-Times More Expensive Option It Reminds You Of
Vaer has been one of our favorite watchmakers for as long as we can remember because they produce new, classic watches based on iconic designs. Case in point, the Vaer G5 Meridian watch you see here. This timepiece is a 1950s-inspired 20ATM automatic watch that’s USA-assembled, dual timezone, built with ocean-ready functionality, self-winding and the brand’s first true GMT (the latest version of their core dive watch design). What’s more, it pays homage to other watches that are incredibly more expensive or hard to come by whilst also adding new aspects that makes this Vaer G5 Meridian watch more desirable than the other options in our opinion.
