This one’s interesting. We’re probably all aware of Harley-Davidson’s struggles of late. It’s electric offshoot LiveWire hasn’t fared too well, either, struggling to sell e-motos in big numbers. But there's more to that story.

An entirely new type of van for an entirely new type of camper van, the Orca from Reiter Engineering sees a bony Mercedes-Benz Sprinter chassis transformed into a high-capacity ultralight transporter that's positively starving for gear, tools, furniture and whatever else you can think to stuff in. This particular take on the cargo van is longer, wider and emptier than any Sprinter that Mercedes builds at its factories while weighing hundreds of pounds less thanks to a svelte carbon fiber shell. It lets drivers carry thousands of pounds of payload without needing a trucking license.

Over a decade after it came out with the compact 12-inch MacBook, Apple's taking another stab at an entry-level laptop with the all-new MacBook Neo. Powered by a processor borrowed from a previous-generation iPhone, it's meant for people who mostly get things done in their browser and with basic productivity apps, sort of like a Chromebook.

Lithium-ion batteries are highly efficient, dissipating less than 10% of their energy as heat during operation. However, they require thermal management systems to regulate this heat, as it can negatively impact their performance and lifespan. On the other hand, their far more inefficient electrochemical distant cousin, the human body, generates enough heat to boil over 100 cups of tea daily and is literally just chillin'.

Finnish smartphone brand Jolla isn't in the business of competing with the dizzying array of Android handsets out there. In fact, it took a long break before announcing its latest model – but from the sound of things, it might be worth the wait.

About 10 years ago, a certain French company called Furion paired a twin-rotor, 654cc Wankel rotary engine with a 40-kilowatt electric motor to produce a massive 180 hp and 151 lb-ft (205 Nm) of instant torque on a motorcycle. It was called the M1 and was already pretty sick for its time.

Out of all the recreational and workaday-to-holiday Australia-style canopies we've seen over the years, none have looked quite like the new CX-Series from Tekton Expedition. In place of the usual cold metal shell, Tekton applies the composite-shaping expertise it honed on the small trailer side of its business to create a thermally isolated fiberglass monocoque that looks like a high-end fiberglass trailer bolted to the back of a Nissan Navara. A full ecosystem of tempting components turn the capacious empty canopy into a proper Outback camping and touring survival tool.

When it comes to everyday carry (EDC) tools, we usually think of folding knives, compact multitools, and ultralight flashlights. One category, however, is often overlooked – reliable clamping tools. The new MetMo Pocket Grip, developed by a small engineering team from the UK, reimagines a century-old device to fill that gap. It's currently on Kickstarter.

Though most tiny houses we see are designed with nomadic living in mind, the Forest is intended for a more settled lifestyle. The home is semi-permanently installed on some rural land and expands its limited interior living space with a large deck outside that includes a porch area and a rooftop terrace.

The new MacBook Air and MacBook Pro are great for most people and for demanding users respectively – but as much as Apple has raised the bar with these, they're just incremental improvements that aren't worth upgrading from the previous models.

Traditional power meters are mounted on just one bike, limiting their use to that particular vehicle. Such is not the case with the cleat-integrated CycloWatt, however, which can be used with as many road bikes as you can lay your hands on.

Mysa is the Swedish word for "cozy," which is a fitting name for this affordable cabin-like tiny house. Designed as a compact but extra-wide non-towable home, it would suit being used as a vacation retreat or a guesthouse.

As someone who has spent the last year bouncing between five countries and lugging suitcases on and off of countless trains, trams, high-speed rail carriages, buses and flights, I now actually understand why good suitcases are more than aesthetics. They make travel life so much easier.
