These 2 New Volkswagen Smart eBikes Will Watch Your Back with Radar, Cameras, Smart Glasses, and a Connected Helmet

The Volkswagen Smart eBike is bringing a distinctly automotive approach to bicycle safety, pairing rear-facing radar and a camera with connected lighting, optional Smart Glasses, and a crash-detecting Smart Helmet. Developed and produced by n+ under license from Volkswagen, the new eBikes will make their public debut at IFA Berlin from September 4 through 8, 2026, with test rides available on the Mobility Test Track. The idea is straightforward: give riders more information about traffic approaching from behind without forcing them to look away from the road ahead, while making the rider easier for drivers to see.

Birdfy Hum Feeder Duo Smart Hummingbird Feeder Review: Watch Nature’s Acrobats in Action!

A friend of mine has a pretty backyard with one of those Wi-Fi-enabled bird feeders. “It’s a lot of fun,” he said, “You should get one!” Well, I certainly do NOT have a pretty backyard, but I’ve often toyed with the idea of putting up a hummingbird feeder. What if I could attract hummingbirds AND get them on video? Enter the Birdfy Hum Feeder Duo, which boasts dual 2K cameras.

Huffy Quantis Kids Bike (24-Inch) Review: A Little Assistance for the Little Ones That Comes with Some Caveats

The Huffy Quantis is a Class 2 electric bike designed for younger riders who are ready for something bigger, faster, and a little more grown-up. With 24-inch wheels, a rigid frame, a 250W motor, a 36V 7.8Ah battery, six speeds, three pedal-assist levels, and a left thumb throttle, it seemed like a smart next step for my 11-year-old son, who had outgrown his 20-inch bike and desperately wanted an e-bike. At 5 feet tall and 110 pounds, he fit the target rider well, while my 6-foot, 205-pound frame provided useful testing perspective.

Segway Navimow X430 Review: A 4WD All-Terrain Tank That Mows Fast but Leaves the Fine Details to You

The Segway Navimow X430 is one of the most capable pieces of mowing hardware we’ve tested. Four-wheel drive, dual suspensions, an 84% slope rating, and a class-leading 17-inch cutting width mean it chews through terrain that stops other robots cold—and it finishes a big yard faster than anything else we’ve run. But all that muscle comes in a body that looks and moves like a security robot, and for a $2,499 mower, it missed more spots and left more manual trimming than we expected. If your yard has serious slopes or rough ground, nothing else here competes. If you want…

Beatbot AquaSense X AI Robotic Pool Cleaner Review: A High-Tech Pool Butler That Cleans Up After You and Itself

Having a pool is awesome, especially if you live in Texas; that is, until you have to clean it. Here’s where the Beatbot AquaSense X AI Robotic Pool Cleaner comes in handy. This pool cleaning robot will clean the surface, floor, sides/waterline, and multiple levels of your pool as long as the area is at least 3.3 ft. x 3.3 ft and the water level is at least 14 in., but it also comes with an automatic rinse station, called the AstroRinse Self-Cleaning Station, that will clean the robot and its filter and charge it!

Duracell 5000 Lumens Tri-Powered Lantern Review: Brighter, Smarter, but Missing One Handy Feature

If you’re shopping for a lantern for camping, storm prep, or general emergency use, the updated Duracell 5000 Lumens Tri-Powered Lantern has a lot going for it. It keeps the same basic design as the earlier model, adds a brighter top output, and still offers multiple ways to keep it running. But it also drops one feature that made the older Duracell Tri-Mode 3000 Lumens Lantern a little more versatile.

MAMMOTION LUBA 3 AWD Robotic Mower Review: The McLaren of Robot Mowers Is Our New Favorite

We’ve put a lot of robot mowers through their paces, and the MAMMOTION LUBA 3 AWD4.5 is the one we keep coming back to. It’s our Goldilocks pick: the software is the best we’ve used, the all-wheel-drive chassis goes places other mowers can’t, and it leaves behind a checkerboard that genuinely turns heads. The Tri-Fusion navigation (360° LiDAR, NetRTK, and dual-camera AI vision) means no perimeter wire and no fussing, and because it isn’t fenced in by a buried wire, it can drive itself between two separate sections of lawn split by a driveway.

The New Maverick XL-TM Blind Offers a Roomy, 360-Degree Fortress for All-Season Hunters

One of the best tools a hunter can have is a great blind. Considering the hours that may be spent inside one, it needs to be comfortable, durable, quiet, and thoughtfully designed for the way people actually hunt. If you are tired of cramped quarters, awkward entryways, noisy plastic panels, and windows that never seem to line up with your shot, the new Maverick XL-TM Blind looks like a serious hard-sided upgrade for your property.

Chasesun Rechargeable Neck Fan Review: Dorky? Maybe. Surprisingly Great at Keeping You Cool? Absolutely.

When the weather heats up, as it does for me in southern Indiana, a rechargeable neck fan can look a little silly and still make perfect sense. That is exactly the category this Chasesun Rechargeable Neck Fan falls into. It is a wearable personal fan designed to sit around your neck and push air upward toward your chin and face, which is where cooling relief really matters when you are outside, gardening, walking, or just trying to survive a sweltering summer afternoon.

Infinity X1 2000 Lumen Camp Light Review: A Bright, Versatile Light for Camping, Work, and Anywhere You Need Portable Illumination

A good portable light can be useful for a lot more than camping. The Infinity X1 2000 Lumen Camp Light is designed for campsites, but it also looks like the kind of gear that could be just as handy in a barn, workshop, shed, or anywhere electricity is limited. It promises high output, adjustable color temperature, tripod-style support, a remote control, and even solar panel compatibility. After taking a close look at the design and trying it in a dark barn, this light turns out to be more practical than its name alone might suggest.

ECOVACS GOAT A3000 LiDAR PRO Review: Gorgeous Lawn Lines, Clever Edge Trimming, and One Pricey Catch

Map your property once, and the ECOVACS GOAT A3000 LiDAR PRO turns into one of the best set-it-and-forget-it mowers we’ve used. It lays down clean, aesthetic lines with almost no effort on our part, and the dual-disc cutting deck chews through grass fast. The headline feature is TrueEdge, an integrated trimmer that’s supposed to handle the edges no robot mower can normally reach—and to its credit, it gets closer than anything else we’ve tested. But it doesn’t fully eliminate the manual string trimming we were hoping to leave behind.
