wired.com Michael Venutolo-Mantovani 2025-11-07 05:00:00

In a market that is becoming increasingly more crowded (for the better, as getting more people on bikes is good for all of us), Seattle-based Rad Power Bikes has planted its flag as a brand that offers the fun and utility of an ebike at a lower cost than its competitors, thanks in large part to its direct-to-consumer model. What started as a single-product brand quickly grew into what it is today: North America’s largest ebike manufacturer, with a line that includes off-road bikes, cargo bikes,

Trump Mobile’s latest T1 phone teaser fails to hide an epic Photoshop blunder

Trump Mobile TL;DR Trump Mobile is now advertising a new design for its upcoming T1 smartphone. If it looks familiar, that is because the team has now picked up the Galaxy S25 Ultra to showcase the design. Funnily, the image now used by Trump Mobile hides a logo from casemaker Spigen, suggesting the former lifted off media from the latter’s catalog. Trump Mobile can’t stick to a single phone design for its trumpeted phone, which is set to launch in the US next month. After recently showcasin

E-bike batteries are, for the most part, a collection of 18650 batteries, packaged together and welded in series and parallel, attached to a battery management system (BMS). A "dead" e-bike battery may only have two or three truly dead cells inside, while the remainder work fine. This is useful knowledge that, for the most part, very few e-bike owners can really use. Arc welders are not a common tool to own, and most e-bike batteries are not designed to be opened, safely or otherwise. French fi
