The retro RayVolt Cruzer (£3,400) was designed to bring a touch of style to the world of e-bikes, and we reckon it’s succeeded. The electric motor looks more like a steampunk antique than a futuristic bike, but there’s a lot of tech under that copper hood. Pop the metaphorical trunk and you’ll find an advanced brushless motor, high-capacity 48V batteries, intelligent pedal assist, 180mm hydraulic breaks, and a regenerative braking system. With a range of up to 50 miles on a 2.5 hour fast-charge, the Cruzer should handle most daily outings with ease – and will no doubt turn a few heads along the way.

About

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.
