The all-new Garmin Varia Vue aims to offer a single, compact device that combines a smart headlight with a high-res camera—perfect for the daily commuter. At first glance, the Garmin Varia Vue looks like just another handlebar-mounted headlight. But it’s much more than that. Inside is a 4K front-facing camera that records your ride while a powerful 600-lumen beam lights the way. The headlight adapts to your speed and surroundings—especially when paired with a Garmin Edge cycling computer—so you’re not just lit up, you’re lit smart.
Varia Vue is equipped with a 4K camera and a headlight that emits up to 600 lumens of light intensity to help give cyclists greater peace of mind.
Talk about a game-changer, California-based startup Morelle has announced the launch of its debut e-bike—an ultra-lightweight ride that fully charges in under 15 minutes and hits pedal-assist speeds up to 28 mph. Weighing in at just 30 pounds, this bike is not only faster to charge than anything else on the market, but it’s also lighter than many premium carbon-frame models.

In dense cities where space is tight and mobility demands flexibility, folding e-bikes have quietly become one of the most compelling transportation tools available. They combine electric assistance with portability, letting riders navigate congested streets, hop on transit, and store their bike indoors with minimal hassle. Unlike traditional e-bikes, folding models solve the perennial problem of space: they fit in closets, under desks, and even on small balconies.
