The latest version of the stylish Propella electric bike is now available for pre-order, and it’s an absolute stunner. The lightweight Propella 3.0. ($999) uses an electric hub motor installed into the rear wheel to provide riders with a powerful boost for hill climbing, or effortless pedalling at up to 18 mph. The 250 watt motor is powered by a 36 volt 7ah removable battery packs that can be fully charged in just 2.5 hours. It has a pedal-assist range of 20 to 40 miles based on the assist level you choose, so it should handle most daily commutes and outdoor cycles with ease. Of course, when it runs out of juice you can still ride the Propella as you would any other bike – you’ll just look infinitely more stylish thanks to those electric blue rims and matte black chassis.

I’m a freelance games and technology journalist currently mashing my keyboard in the name of fine institutions like Stuff, where you'll usually find me waxing lyrical about the latest mobile morsels. I've also been known to cook up some decidedly delicious reviews from time to time, and was once dubbed 'the games industry's answer to Nigella Lawson' by someone probably somewhere.
