Govee Outdoor Triad Floodlight Review: Durable, 4500-Lumen Smart Lighting That Offers Versatile Customization

Hong Kong-based Govee is a well-established manufacturer of smart home lighting and appliances. Their smart lighting products include gaming lights, TV lights, and wall lights, many of which we have reviewed at Gear Diary. In this review, we look at the Outdoor Triad Floodlight. Although usable for indoor applications, the Govee Outdoor Triad Floodlight features an IP66-rated metal body and IP67-rated control box, making it rugged enough to be used in almost any outdoor environment. I can attest to its weather resistance. I shot sample footage (below) during a fairly strong rainstorm. The floodlight enclosure has a minimalistic look and…

Ride1Up Cafe Cruiser Electric Bike Review: A Stylish and Comfortable Ride for Cruising Around Town

The Ride1Up REVV1 I purchased last March is my daily commuter when the weather allows. It is a fantastic moped-style e-bike. The Ride1Up Portola, the company’s first foldable, is a superb bike, especially considering its sub-$1000 price tag; it’s now Raina’s bike. And now we have the Ride1Up Cafe Cruiser, which offers style and comfort in step-over and step-through designs.

The Ride1Up CF Racer1 Is a Class 3 Carbon Fiber E-Bike Designed for Road Racers Who Want a Little Help on Steep Hills

We’ve been impressed by Ride1Up’s e-bike offerings this year. The Revv1 is my absolute favorite moped/moto-style e-bike, and their Portola, Ride1Up’s first folding e-bike, knocked it out of the park. I’m currently reviewing their Cafe Cruiser, and I’ve been impressed. Their latest offering, the Ride1Up CF Racer1, is a design departure, and it looks stunning.

RVing Goes Luxury Green with the Futuristic Pebble Flow

Hitting the road in an RV sounds like a romantic way to travel, but if you’re interested in a true home away from home, it’s not for those without some skills. Hitching it up, properly towing, or backing one can require expert-level skills, and you still have to set everything up once you get to camp. But if you have a Pebble Flow, the semi-autonomous electric travel trailer, you’ll enjoy a much easier experience all around!

Heybike Horizon E-Bike Review: Full Suspension, Folding, Fat Tire Fun

I recently reviewed the Mars 2.0, another recent e-bike from Heybike, and I loved it. The Heybike Horizon went on sale last week and is currently priced at $1699.99. The Mars 2.0 currently sells for $1099.99. What is the difference between the two, and what justifies the added $600 expenditure? How about a Horst-link rear suspension and hydraulic front suspension, 24 “×4” fat tires, as well as hydraulic brakes and headlight and back/brake lights both with turn signals? How does it stack up? Let’s take a look.
