$12,599 for an e-bike – Thule mounts it on the roof

Stuff picks

Litespeed equips four Titan bikes with a Mahle engine and charges a five-figure sum for them. Thule builds a roof rack for balance bikes to attach to its kids’ bike trailer. And Vaude makes clip-in shoes waterproof—even in places others haven’t thought of.

Titanium, electricity, and $12,599

Litespeed Mahle

A titanium e-bike is already a rarity. Litespeed has turned it into a four-model lineup: two road and two gravel models equipped with a Mahle X20 hub motor, a 250-Wh battery, and weighing starting at around 11.8 kilograms. Prices range from 9,999 to 12,599 dollars.

The children's trailer is getting a roof rack

Thule Dachträger

When your little one runs out of energy on the balance bike, both the child and the bike end up in the trailer. With Thule, you can now secure the balance bike to the Chariot 2 double trailer using a folding arm and straps.

Vaude Boots

With the Kuro Mid II STX shoe, Vaude doesn't just seal the upper and shaft with a Sympatex membrane—even the cleat window in the sole is sealed. This SPD-compatible shoe is designed for gravel and cross-country riders.
