The fat tire RadRover 6 Plus has been in WIRED’s test fleet for a few months, and it performed admirably on dry terrain and steep hills. At 73 pounds, this off-road bike is heavy and difficult to pedal without assistance once you run out of charge in its 45-mile range, but the powerful 750-watt motor and hand throttle will take you up to 20 mph. A hydraulic braking system provides the power to stop once you catch your breath. This is the lowest price we have ever tracked.

The Freedom 2 has strong acceleration, weighs just 39 pounds, and comes with an extensive list of features, including built-in headlights and taillights and an integrated anti-theft alarm. If you want to learn more, I reviewed the similar Freedom X (7/10, WIRED Recommends). This deal throws in free bumpers, throttle, and location tracking kit (only works on iPhone) along with the code.

With a 40-mile range, 20-mph top speed, and 48-pound weight, the CTY e1.1’s specs are acceptable but not spectacular. We haven’t tested it yet, but hydraulic brakes (for hard braking) and integrated headlights and taillights are extras at this price. Your local REI will collect any bike purchased at REI for free.

This scooter can go fast (up to 27 miles per hour) thanks to a 500-watt motor, and WIRED Reviews Editor Julian Choctaw managed to get 16 miles per charge. He’s 6’4″, so you can probably get closer to the 20 mile range, if not more. It’s 57 pounds, so it’s not too easy to lug around. Apollo says it will ship the Pro model in August and the standard City in October (the Pro model can go faster, is even heavier, and has slightly better range).

I’ve been testing the Scrambler for a while now and am pleased with the quality. It weighs 71 pounds, but the powerful 750-watt motor allows it to reach 28 mph, and the bike comes with manual throttle, 45 miles of range, and mini-off-road motorcycle looks.

Let us hear your coming. Whether it’s pedestrians, cars, or other cyclists, people tend to position themselves right in the bike lane. Give them a little friendly Ding Ding to bring their heads up. Rather than yelling or, you know, plowing into them, it’s less polite and less confrontational.

Nutcase makes some pretty cool bike helmets. They are stylish and have a proven track record for protection. This model comes with a Multi-Directional Impact Protection System (MIPS), which reduces the risk of brain injury from rotational forces on the head during an impact. There are more designs on sale, too, if this Darth Vader-esque design isn’t your thing.

Whether in the city or on suburban roads, it’s important to have a light at night so that cars can see you, even when the street lights are on. The NiteRider’s 500-lumen headlight and 110-lumen rear light are better than most lights at this price point, and the headlight should be more than enough to fully illuminate unlit roads, especially at night.

The Vio (8/10, WIRED Recommends) is more than just a helmet. It’s a great option for slapping headlights and taillights on your bike. The 200-lumen front light isn’t enough to illuminate a dark road, but the 360-degree LED coverage helps other drivers and riders see you. In my review, I noted that it’s a great solution for people who ride a lot of bikes, use bike sharing programs (where lights can’t be installed) or are tired of having to remove lights every time they leave their bike to prevent it from being stolen. . Only selected colors are on sale.

Pannier bags are the best way to carry common cargo on your bike. They attach to the pannier racks on the rear wheel of the bike and keep the center of gravity low. The problem is that once you are off your bike, you have to be pulled by the strap. The bug converts into a bag, so you don’t sweat on your back while riding but keep your hands free after you’re off the bike. With an optional padded laptop sleeve, it also protects your computer from scratches.

Men’s sizes are available at the same price. A good pair of liner shorts does more than flatten your rear end, though that’s a big plus on frequent rides or long trips. They also remove sweat and prevent breakouts. Slip these liner shorts on as a base layer under your bike pants or casual pants.

When I tested bike locks, this was the easiest bike lock to use on a trip. It features a built-in clip that easily slides over a belt or bag strap so you don’t have to strap it to your bike frame, and weighs just 2.4 pounds. Its U lock is 14 millimeters thick, which means it has little protection from burglars’ tools.

At just 6 ounces (for a medium), the Helium is a lightweight jacket that keeps you dry without bulking up with unnecessary layers. Perfect for hot summer rainstorms. WIRED editor Adrian So loves the Helium, calling it an affordable classic in her guide to the best rain jackets. The women’s size is available for $127 at another retailer (Backcountry doesn’t have many sizes or lots in stock).
