fjallraven travel specific fall collection pack — Fjallraven

Sweden’s reigning outdoor company Fjallraven effectively implements functionality, durability, and dependability into every aspect of production and now, the brand plans to release a travel-specific collection. A company who began with a wooden-framed backpack in the meager town of OrnskOldsvik has since evolved into a coveted entity known around the world. Fjallraven serves a comprehensive outdoor market offering a range of sustainable apparel and practical gear — while standing by its mission to save the endangered Arctic fox.

This spring they intend to release the long-awaited travel collection — a specifically designed compilation of products which not only provide comfort but seek to inspire outside exploration. Fjallraven aims to ease travel woes with quality backpacks and clothing incorporating its tried and true G-1000 Heavy Duty Eco fabric. The wax-treated polyester and cotton blend fabric ensures durability, water resistance, and windproof elements in all climates.

The new collection offers a versatile Travel Pack which doubles as a backpack and a suitcase, boasting various compartments, protective padding, a moderate 35L capacity, and cushioned shoulder straps for all-day comfort. The Split Pack is a duffle bag that goes a step beyond, designed with a center zipper dividing two large compartments inset with multiple smaller storage chambers. The brand fashioned this creative carrier for the organized long-haul — combining efficiency and luxury.

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

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?
