COOL STUFF
We’re well into summertime now, aren’t we? Although everything might feel a little unsettled at the moment – particularly with rising prices and fuel costs skyrocketing – it’s still a great time of the year for getting outside. Needless to say, a lot of our products this month take a more outdoors-y approach. So let’s have a look at what’s on offer...
Champagne Carbon эB.03
circa £247
HOW do you make a bottle of bubbly that lives up to Bugatti’s track-only Bolide? That challenge has been accepted by Champagne Carbon, which has created a special-edition bottle of fizz designed to mimic the W16powered hypercar. Contained within a carbon-fibrewrapped bottle, the ЭB.03 Edition has a vintage 2013 Blanc de Blancs champagne. Not surprisingly, it doesn’t come cheap, with prices at around £247 a pop.
GoCycle G4 e-bike
£3,299
THE world of e-bikes has really grown in recent years, particularly as battery technology has improved to allow longer ranges. GoCycle is definitely aimed at the more commuter end of the market, with its G4 e-bike offering a compact foldable design that manages to cram a lot into a small package. GoCycle has recently reduced the G4’s price, which – we’ll admit – still remains quite a lot. However, many cycle-to-work schemes include the G4, which will help with the cost.
Lowa Trek Evo Mid GTX hiking boots
£210
A GOOD set of hiking boots will last you a long time and Lowa is one of the best in the business for designing just that. Its new Trek Evo Mid GTX boots have been designed with a more eco-conscious feel, so they’re crafted from entirely vegan materials and you can even replace the soles. But you still get a waterproof Gore-Tex lining plus added heel and toe protection for when the going gets tough.
Harley-Davidson Serial 1 SWITCH/MTN
£TBC
HARLEY-DAVIDSON might be known for its classic American motorcycles, but it recently announced that it would be branching out into e-bikes with a whole new brand called Serial 1. The new SWITCH/MTN is one of the latest products of that endeavour. It’s a proper off-roader, all based around a compact electric motor and battery. It’s even got integrated lights, so you don’t have to worry about fitting new ones. CarDealerMag.co.uk | 43
