We should be getting used to all of this “smart” stuff connecting to everything around us, but honestly we couldn’t be more excited for the world’s first connected bike that vigorously past it’s Kickstarter goal within a day. The Vanhawks Valour from a group of Canadian guys is not only bad-ass in design, but the technology incorporated within it is also quite impressive.
Will Graham graces us with his latest collection from the Bonneville Salt Flats in northwestern Utah. He captures the people, along with their many ways of speeding, cruising and camping atop the flat, salty desert.
That e-bike you just purchased is probably already making your life easier than it was when you were paying $4.50 per gallon. But now we are thinking you probably should have waited for the JIVE Bike by JAM Vehicles to hit the world-wide web. Their newest innovation to the ever-evolving e-bike is the folding feature that your e-bike doesn’t have. The concept is simple; it utilizes an easy folding system that will give you the mobility and freedom you’ve been dreaming about the night before your dreaded commute. It also contains a no-hassle, chainless drivetrain that allows for an easier and smoother ride, while the battery allows you to go up to 15 mph and a 20 mile range on a single charge. Choose between three modes in electric, manual or assisted pedaling and attach your smartphone for better assistance on your commute.
Your road trips will never be the same if you decide to purchase a trailer from Dub Box USA. It might look like the Oregon-based manufacturer has an unlimited supply of VW vans, but that’s where we are looking at it completely wrong. They actually mold the campers and carts from completely new fiberglass shells and the design process is left completely up to you. There are several options you can choose from to complete your Dub Box just the way you want it. If this catches your eye (which we know it does so don’t lie) then you definitely need to take a look at what they have to offer.

Finally, Apple has revealed one of their products without an anticipated build-up or a frenzy of press surrounding them. Their almost surprising reveal, Apple CarPlay has actually been anticipated for quite sometime, but it wasn’t until early this morning that Apple decided to reveal it. Integrating it into select 2014 car models, CarPlay brings the most important iPhone functionality right into your car’s built-in display. A familiar voice in Siri will be guiding you through Apple maps, phone, messaging, music and a whole lot more. Look for car manufacturers like Ferrari, Honda, Hyundai, Volvo, Jaguar and Mercedes-Benz to include CarPlay in their 2014 models, while Toyota, BMW, Land Rover and more will follow.

If your looking to get into the world of motorcycles the Victory Gunner Urban Cruiser is probably one of the best bikes to start with. Not too big not too small, this bike is made for the type of masculinity that you won’t find anywhere else. A 4-stroke V-Twin engine with a 6-speed transmission will have you cruisin’ the beautiful back roads of America for days upon days, with the 110 ft-lbs of torque that’s just enough power to send chills down your spine. A streamlined solo seat makes it comfortable for a single man ride and the suede Titanium metallic and black 2-tone tank will have your passerbyers turning around for a second look. Imagining is fun but reality tends to be better.

The evolution of transit has become nothing short of spectacular and adding to that evolution is the URB-E scooter. Many got a first glance at the new means of transportation at CES, but now the scooter has gone live with their campaign on Indiegogo. Built for urban environments, the URB-E comes in two forms – the three-wheel Commuter and the two-wheel GP. Both carry the same specs like a top speed of up to 15 mph, a 20 mile range on each charge and an on board smartphone charger for both iOS and Android. You can fold it up to take it virtually anywhere and you’ll never have to worry about theft again.
