Aventon Abound
The first cargo bike from this leader in competitively priced ebikes is a study in flexibility. Carting the kiddo to school? Add a back seat and gripper bars to the long rear platform. Blissfully child-free? Install front and rear racks to haul groceries and garden supplies. The easy-riding step-through frame fits pilots up to 6' 3". The Abound's pedalassistance system uses a rear hub motor with a torque sensor, adding a smooth, even boost that varies depending on how hard you're cranking. In the lowest of the four assistance levels-the power-sipping yet capable Eco mode-you can eke out 50 miles on a charge. The range drops if you load the bike up to its 440-pound capacity, liberally thumb the bar-mounted throttle, or blast around town in Turbo mode at the max speed of 20 mph. Even then, you'll get nearly 20 miles out of the 720-watthour battery. $2,199
Peak Design Universal Bike Mount
Our favorite handlebar phone mount is from the accessory company Peak Design, but just know you're buying into a system. To use the mount, you'll also need one of Peak's phone cases ($40), which has a little square hole that the mount snaps into. The company also makes a stick-on universal adapter ($30) if you prefer to go caseless or want to use your own case. The mount itself, which uses a mechanical lock and magnets to grip the handset, straps onto your handlebars. In a year of testing, we haven't ridden on a road bumpy enough to dislodge a phone from this mount. Peak's mobile tripods and wireless chargers use the same system, so you can use your new case off the bike too. If you're a bike-share devotee or an escooter ninja, the mount moves easily between conveyances. Just attach it to your ride du jour with the elastic clamp. $50
