Keeping drinks and food cold while camping can be a challenge, especially in the summer. Though a portable power station hooked up to a minifridge can help, it's not the most power-efficient option compared with either an electric cooler or a traditional icebox. I set out to test a "regular" icebox-style cooler -- specifically, RTIC's icebox -- against Anker's new Solix EverFrost 2 to see how it would fare in real-world use against the best coolers on the market. To begin testing, I picked up tw

Translated to actual numbers, the US ebike market was valued at $1.98 billion in 2022. It’s expected to grow by 15.6 percent from 2023 to 2030. Some electric bike customers haven’t been on two wheels since they rode a Schwinn Stingray with a banana seat; others are lifelong cyclists who want a little extra oomph to flatten the hills
