The SylvanSport Go camping trailer may look simple because it is so compact and tidy in appearance, but once you open it, you will be surprised by all that it can do. SylvanSport went above and beyond when it created this powerhouse of a camper that will provide a roomy tent shelter as well as carry all the gear that you need for your next outdoors adventure.

The SylvanSport Go is very versatile, functioning as a camper, a utility trailer or both. When used as a camper, it can be used for eating, sitting and sleeping. It has a soft-sided Kelty-made tent with plenty of vents and a comfortable mattress that provides reasonable sleeping accommodations for up to four people. It’s the Swiss army knife of campers, with multiple configurations that allow you to quickly switch between a sitting area, a dining table, and a king-and-a-half sized bed. If you need less sleeping space and more sitting space? Well, you can do that, too.

More than just a sleeping place, the SylvanSport Go also is a hauling trailer capable of carrying all the gear you need, including bicycles, kayaks, surfboards, canoes, dirt bikes, and more. The open-topped utility trailer even tilts for easy loading of an off-road motorized vehicle up to 800 pounds. The trailer also is versatile, allowing you to remove the camper portion and use the trailer just for hauling or combine the two activities with the tent on the bottom and a rack of bikes on the top.

As a trailer, the SylvanSport Go camping trailer is lightweight yet rugged. The Go has a TIG-welded aluminum frame that is made to last a lifetime, a diamond deck plating that is resistant to corrosion and custom-tuned wheels that minimize bounce when hauling. The trailer weighs a lean 840 pounds and has a low-profile aerodynamic design. It’s so compact and efficient that even smaller cars can tow the trailer.

The Go adventure camping trailer is available now from SylvanSport for $9,995.

Juiced Bikes sold at auction for $1.2 million, report says

The Juiced Bikes Scorpion X2 adds more power, upgraded tires, and an improved battery to the popular moped style e-bike.

Juiced Bikes, the San Diego-based maker of e-bikes, has been sold on an auction website for $1,225,000, according to a report from Electrek.Digital Trends recently reported how the company was showing signs of being on the brink of bankruptcy. The company and its executives had remained silent, while customer inquiries went unanswered and its website showed all products were out of stock. In addition, there were numerous reports of layoffs at the company.Yet, the most convincing sign was that the company’s assets appeared as listed for sale on an auction website used by companies that go out of business.Now, it appears that Juiced Bikes’ assets, including a dozen patents, multiple URLs, and the company’s inventory in both the U.S. and China, have been sold at auction, according to the report. It is likely that the buyer, who remains unknown, can capitalize on the brand and the overall value of the 15-year old company. Founded in 2009 by Tora Harris, a U.S. high-jump Olympian, Juiced Bikes was one of the early pioneers of the direct-to-consumer e-bike brands in the U.S. market.
The company had quickly built a reputation for the versatility of its e-bikes and the durability of their batteries. Over the years, the popularity of models such as the CrossCurrent, HyperScrambler, and RipCurrent only bolstered the brand’s status.Last year, Digital Trends named the Juiced Bikes Scorpion X2 as the best moped-style e-bike for 2023, citing its versatility, rich feature set, and performance.Juiced Bikes’ getting sold quickly might be a sign of what consulting firm Houlihan Lokey says is a recovery in the North American e-bike market.
The industry has had a roller-coaster ride during and after the COVID-19 pandemic: A huge spike in demand for e-bikes had combined with disrupted supply chains to create a supply/demand mismatch of “historic proportions," Houlihan Lokey said.

Aventon Abound SR combines thoughtful design, enhanced security, and smart connectivity

Aventon Abound SR hero image with couple on the e-bike

Electric bikes are nothing new at this point, and while there are many styles, few purportedly do-it-all, and even fewer actually offer smart or more advanced features. They tend to do one thing particularly well, like cruising, carrying cargo, or sightseeing -- like city riding -- but the biggest way they push the envelope is by offering that long-range electric power. The Aventon Abound SR, a new do-it-all bike, goes far and beyond anything that's come before it.

For starters, it's the first bike equipped with Aventon's electronic control unit (ACU) which empowers intelligent safety features. That gives you 4G and GPS tracking built-in, plus remote locking, an alarm system, and much more. But also, this top-of-its-class bike is incredibly versatile and is suitable for everything from commutes to tough exercise rides and daily routines. It features a top speed of 20 miles per hour, has a range of up to 60 miles per charge, and can carry a payload of up to 440 pounds. Impressive, indeed. Let's take a closer look and get a little more friendly with it, shall we?
