Huck Norris is an innovative bicycle tire tape that prevents 'rubber defects' and the destruction of rims. The idea seems so simple that many people are probably wondering why he didn't come up with it himself.

The Viks GT Lamborghini bike, a new product from Velonie, is an extremely beautiful and high-quality combination of the Italian Lamborghini car and an ordinary city bike.

The Viks Gt Lamborghini wheel takes its design inspiration from the Italian supercar Lamborghini, while at the same time maintaining a highly pragmatic design and providing a safe and reinforced frame.
Italian architect Luca Agnelli is fascinated by the past, and his workshop specializes in custom-made bicycles. Among other things, he also makes them out of tanks, but most recently he made it out of a Citroën 2CV or spačka (1949-1990), as we affectionately called this popular Citroën model with two horses, which mobilized many Slovenians and was also produced in Cimos in Koper, or even earlier in Tomos. His mask was combined with the rear of the equally famous cargo tricycle Doniselli Duomo, and the 2CV Paris electric tricycle was created, which will delight all die-hard retro fans.
Are you afraid your bike will be stolen? Do you feel like even a really good lock won't stop thieves from stealing it? Thieves are becoming more and more daring and are not stopped by even the strongest locks. But now, finally, there is a lock that will successfully fit around their edge. It goes by the name SkunkLock, and as its name suggests, it stinks like a ferret, but only when someone tries to forcibly remove it and injures it in the process. The bicycle is protected both mechanically and chemically, and the smelly gas will make the thief vomit at the scene of the crime.

The production of cars and bicycles were separated in 1926, but in 2011 the French returned bicycles to the "mother" again. The Peugeot e-Bike eUO1s is not Peugeot's first bike, we only remember the AE21 hybrid from 2013 or the e-Bike eF01, which was presented together with the new generation of the Peugeot 5008 model, which can be integrated in the luggage compartment. Well, for more serious urban challenges, there is the e-bike Peugeot e-Bike eU01s.
