When on the course, you need to bring you’re A game forward, every little thing matters when you hit the golf ball with the club, as the devil lies in the details. An important part of the whole experience is being correctly aware of the course. This is where a GPS Golf speaker comes in handy, as many pro golfers and budding ones are investing in the idea.

The golfing accessory has many benefits, right from being on top of the opponent with real-time yardages, or listening to your favorite tunes to destress. Bushnell has long been providing golfers with smart accessories to improve their game, and now their new GPS Golf speaker promises more. The accessory is a Bluetooth speaker, GPS rangefinder, and a look into the future of golf electronics.

Designer: Bushnell

The new version of the Wingman Bluetooth speaker is an upgrade to the Wingman View, introduced in 2023. The new speaker comes with a 3.5-inch color touchscreen that provides detailed metrics of the course you are currently on. Dubbed Wingman HD, the Bluetooth speaker graduates from a monochromatic LCD display on the previous version. To give you accurate details about the current course, the speaker employs the built-in GPS for tracking your location. It has a pre-loaded database of over 38,000 courses around the world, which is great if you love to play at multiple locations. The accessory details about the front, middle and back yardages, as well as hazards and distances from the hole to keep you one step ahead of the opponents. You can either have the information displayed on the screen or listen to it via the speaker.

You can connect the device to the smartphone with their mobile app that adds more functionality like flyovers of the entire hole, or detailed scorekeeping. The new speaker has a semi-cylindrical design that’s flatter on the top section. On the inside, it has two 15-watt drivers and a passive radiator to give the low-end frequencies a thump. To make things easy, the IPX67-rated Wingman HD speaker has magnetic mounts to stick it to your golf cart. There’s a feature on this called Dynamic Audio Adjustment that auto-adjusts the volume to compensate for ambient noises.

Depending on your taste, the sound can be adjusted with the Indoor and Outdoor EQ. There’s an added feature that allows you to record custom messages like “well played,” or trigger pre-recorded custom sounds like crowd applause. The best bit about the Wingman HD is that up to 100 of them can be connected to play simultaneously, which creates an altogether different playing experience, something similar to a packed sports arena. Bushnell Wingman HD is available now for $200, which is the same price as its predecessor.

Lamborghini stands out from other performance supercars with its sharp, angular design language, which hasn’t changed much over the years. The Italian manufacturer matches the unique look with exceptional performance and handling in every creation. Now, their 20^th anniversary supercar treads down the same lane, giving us a glimpse of what the Italian brand’s future will be.

Revealed over the weekend to celebrate two decades of their in-house design venture, Centro Stile, the concept car turned heads. Called the Manifesto, the supercar is a reflection of the “potential future of our unique design DNA,” as informed by the company’s design director, Mitja Borkert. According to him, the car is a styling exercise and a visionary sculpture that is not meant for production anytime soon.

Designer: Lamborghini / Mitja Borkert

Sticking close to the brand’s DNA, the Manifesto seems to have borrowed some elements from the limited production Fenomeno, launched a couple of months ago. There is a wedge-shaped body having sharp lines and dynamic form, along with the flowing silhouette that gets aggressive with every subtle crease. The headlights leading to the DRLs have a distinct Y-shaped motif, fusing into the nose that reminds me of the Revuelto and Aventador. This interpretation makes the Manifesto have that intimidating hunter eye stare. The lower front fascia has large carbon fiber intakes, signifying the performance car’s capability under the hood. The sides don’t have any of those intakes, making the performance car look ultra-muscular.

Lamborghini has experimented a bit with the panoramic windshield that is highlighted by the double-bubble glass, as it blends into the rear. There are huge diffusers and short rear fenders to expose the beefy rear tires, just like a Hot Wheels sports car. The rear is beefier than the front, and the 12 vents on the spine body panel hint at a V12 engine under the hood. The Y-shaped motif for the taillights too balances out the dark indentation along the width of the rear. The front section has the Lamborghini logo, while the rear has the brand’s name inscribed in the familiar font.

Manifesto has a very low-slung profile just like its elite performance supercars, with a ride height meant for race tracks, not the scarred road surfaces. The wheels are big and chunky as well, to lend maximum grip, and have superior traction while cornering at the chicanes. Those big diffusers at the rear help with the downforce to keep the supercar glued to the tarmac. The side profile reveals the absence of any doors and the absence of any wings for aerodynamic stability at high speeds, which further solidifies the fact that the Manifesto will never see the production lines. The best we can expect is to see hints of this design inspiration in a future model.

Triumph Motorcycles acquired OSET in 2022 for a reason, and that has now materialized into a new age electric bike range that caters to kids, teenagers, and young adults. Before this, the British motorcycle maker had never ventured into the electric bike segment. With OSET’s vast experience in making trials bikes on the proven electric platform, Triumph has finally released the TXP range after three years.

Unlike most of the manufacturers who scale down the adult bike frames for younger riders, this bike range has custom geometry and a frame. There are four models in the lineup: TXP-12, TXP-16, TXP-20, and TXP-24. Every model comes with Field-Oriented Control (FOC) for seamless motor operation and Active Power Stabilization (APS). This results in consistent battery output when the battery depletes.

Designer: Triumph Motorcycles

The bikes are IP67-rated for electronics and battery, thereby making them fit for any off-road skirmishes. For hardcore riders who love to take electric bikes to extreme trails, there is an easily removable lithium-ion battery pack for swapping batteries. What makes this new lineup stand out is the modular 2-in-1 configuration. The seat and mudguards can be removed to convert the dirt bike into a standing trials bike, called the Trials Mode. The normal configuration is dubbed the Xplore mode, given its capability in off-roading conditions.

The smallest of them, TXP-12, is built for kids as young as three, having a 600W motor. The most powerful among them is the TXP-24, which is powered by a 1600W brushless motor that handles adults weighing up to 198lbs. Suspension on each of the models scales from 50mm front/60mm rear on the TXP-12, to 160mm front/145mm rear on the TXP-24. For a better ride experience, the TXP-24 has air-sprung forks with rebound and compression adjustability. TXP-12 comes with cable-operated discs, while the higher-end TXP-24 has four-piston calipers. The mid-range models have hydraulic two-piston setups.

These bikes are designed to grow with the riders, with features and functions in place for maximum safety. There are PIN-protected speed controls, magnetic safety lanyards, ball-end brake levers, and child-specific grip sizing for the kids in particular. The livery also gives off a very Gen-Z vibe, making it ideal for youngsters.  The more mature TXP-20 and TXP-24 models have diagnostic-ready electronics to show any display fault codes or service alerts. This makes troubleshooting in the wild easier, and perhaps life-saving.

The TXP-12 and TXP-16 bikes in the TXP range can be pre-ordered right now for  $1,695 and $2,295, respectively, with pre-Christmas deliveries promised by Triumph. The TXP-20 and TXP-24 models are not yet available, with the U.K. pricing set at £3,195 (approximately $4,300) and £3,695 (approximately $4,950).

Lexar has been developing portable solid-state drives for mobile creators, especially the iPhone-centric ones. It first made us a fan with the Go Portable SSD, and now the company has officially launched the ES5 Magnetic Portable SSD, which was first announced in July this year. The SSD for the iPhone, essentially, is available in two storage capacities: the 1TB capacity ES5 is priced at $120, while the larger, 2TB variant will set you back $200. A 4TB variant is in the plans, but it wouldn’t start shipping before Q1 of 2026.

The new SSD is bigger and faster than the Go Portable. It is twice as fast and slightly longer in length, but can effortlessly stick to the back of your iPhone (thanks to MagSafe compatibility) and be your memory companion on the go. The ES5 Magnetic SSD is, of course, inclined more toward the Apple ecosystem, but it doesn’t completely ignore other possibilities. It caters to your storage needs of professional-grade mobile video recordings, no matter the ecosystem.

Designer: Lexar

According to the press information, the ES5 Magnetic Portable SSD is compatible with any type of USB-equipped device, like a tablet or smartphone. It can deliver a read and write speed of up to 2000MB/s. The speed is just a factor. What makes the SSD an even more compelling choice is its durability. The ES5 has an IP65 dust and water-resistant rating and is designed with a silicone shell to survive a 10-foot fall on a hard surface.

The drive weighs 49 grams. It is 3.34 x 2.12 x 0.43 inches in size, making it easily portable, whether you choose to carry it in a pocket or a backpack. It is provided with a USB-C cord for charging. The cable also serves as a lanyard for the drive. Besides the speed and durability, it’s the ES5’s quirky magnetic design that allows the drive to snap onto your iPhone with support for MagSafe. For compatibility with other devices, Lexar provides the ES5 with a metal ring that sticks to other devices or surfaces where you may want to mount it.

Stuck to the back of an iPhone, the drive can handle tasks like recording 4K ProRes videos and storing high-quality images. According to the information available, the Lexar magnetic SSD clipped to the iPhone 150 Pro and 15 Pro Max models can unlock 4K recording at 60fps, and with the iPhone 16 and the new 17 models, it can handle up to 120fps.

When it is paired outside of the Apple ecosystem, for example, with the Samsung Galaxy S25 models, the ES5 can capture 8K videos at 30fps. Additionally, with the PCs that support USB 3.2 Gen 2×2, the drive can offer high transfer rates that are comparable to and even better than many capable portable SSDs on the market.

Ricoh is known for its office hardware solutions and the intricate timepieces it made for three decades. They crafted their own movements, including the R31 automatic, and there was a time they were considered right among the top watchmakers from Japan. The likes of Seiko, Citizen, and Orient, to be precise. Even though they have gone out of production, dupe models and old Ricoh watches, like quartz models, can be seen online.

Although we might not see any new Ricoh watches on the official production lines, venturing into a new product line is always an option. The consumer technology market is all buzzing with audio accessories, primarily headphones and earbuds. So, how about owning a pair of Ricoh headphones?

Designer: Aleksandr Shepelev

Sony, Sennheiser, Bose, Beyerdynamic, Apple, and Bower & Wilkins have been the market leaders in the audio market when it comes to headphones that combine design, immersive sound, and value-added features like ANC or AI-assisted functionality. For Ricoh to enter this highly competitive market, design is going to be the key factor. This headphone concept by Aleksandr reimagines Space Age Headphones inspired by the 1970s retro themes. Contrary to the current design language of headphones, which sticks to the contemporary look, the Ricoh headphones go for a bolder design and look.

The designer has created three variants of these on-ear headphones: one having a muted-down look, another with a vintage feel, and the third with a more peppy look. We are going to focus more on the rustic one that has a dirt texture on the headband and cushions. This one is inspired by the original Ricoh Space Age Headphones, having a pretty similar look and feel. Although no specifications have been mentioned by the designer, we presume them to have the latest codecs and respectable drivers to deliver good audio quality. ANC should also be there since on-ear headphones lack a bit in passive sound isolation compared to over-the-ear cans.

The ergonomic shape and the weight distribution of these headphones should make them ideal for long sessions. The other two options come with stainless steel accents and textile ear cushions, respectively. We would love to see such headphones on the market, given their refreshing yet vintage design.

In general, truck campers are built to be stout. It’s the same with the Auriga Explorer as well. What sets this German camper apart from the others, however, is its finesse, materials, and the ample storage onboard. The Auriga Explorer combines the “freedom of a compact four-wheel drive pickup truck” with the “comfort of a luxurious expedition vehicle,” Frank Haltermann, Design Engineer & Managing Director, informs.

Designed for an unforgettable adventure off the beaten track, the Auriga Explorer is manufactured and assembled in Germany. It’s built on either the back of a Ford Ranger or a Volkswagen Amarok, and features a GRP (glass-fiber-reinforced plastic) body. The high-quality composite combines fiberglass and plastic to offer lightweight construction, weather-resistance, and durability for overland travel in a wide range of climates.

Designer: Auriga Explorer

The Auriga Explorer measures 5.85 m long, 2.25 m high, and 2.10 m wide. The interior is 8 sqm, and features a pneumatic pop-top roof, transforming the otherwise compact interior into a spacious home with 2.05m headroom at the highest point. An electro-pneumatic actuation system lifts the two-panel roof while the three button-activated slide-outs in the camper body make room for storage. The pop-up roof fits in a cozy alcove bedroom comprising split beds, which fold upward individually so one person can continue sleeping, while the other gets down to start their day.

It’s not just the upward space creation; the camper can slide out on the sides and the rear as well. The rear slide-out, for instance, serves as the garage storage to carry your gear. Slide-outs on the left and right sides let you store clothes and everyday travel accessories. A tall wardrobe separating the kitchen from the dinette inside can be used for hanging jackets and other necessities. The seating area with benches and a pull-out table offers space for up to six people, which can be used for dining, playing, or chatting with friends/family during the day. When the night falls, the seating area can be transformed into a comfortable guest bed.

The compact kitchen within the Auriga Explorer is provided with a diesel-powered two-burner hob and oven. Just on the opposite side, the removable floor and fold-out walls make space for a shower cubicle, while a dry separation toilet integrated inside can be pulled out when required. This truck camper is only a prototype at the time of writing. The website notes that Auriga Explorer will be available by the end of 2025, though when and for how much remains a mystery. If you’re someone away from Germany, you can take heart from the fact that the camper is designed to fit into a standard overseas container. So, the company should be able to transport it to any navigable corner of the world.

Inventor and content creator Jake Carlini has turned a damaged electric bike into a wearable motorcycle suit, one that lets him ride while lying nearly flat in a planking position. After his bike was wrecked in a crash, he salvaged key parts, namely the rear-hub motor and battery, and reconceived the system entirely. Rather than reattach the components to a conventional frame, Carlini attached the motor directly to his lower legs using painter’s stilt straps, effectively turning his legs into the drive train.

To house the heavy battery, he reinforced and modified a vest, integrating wiring and connectors into it. Steering and stability posed unusual challenges. Without a normal front fork and handlebars, Carlini built a small front rig incorporating aero bars, armrest pads, and pegs so he could shift some weight to his arms. He integrated the original throttle on a grip and preserved the digital display, routing wiring along his arms into the vest.

Designer: Jake Carlini

The outcome looks like a hybrid of suit and machine, a kind of exoskeleton with wires, straps, and glowing components. In test runs, the suit reached speeds over 20 mph, powered by the motor on his legs, while balance depended entirely on his core engagement and the precision of the straps. Carlini tweaked alignment, strap tension, and arm support to improve stability, and that allowed him to ride at road-level height while maintaining control. The build leans heavily on repurposed parts: the motor, battery, throttle, display, as well as everyday items such as straps, screws, glue, and fabric.

The significance of this project lies not just in its novelty but in how it blurs the boundary between clothing and vehicle. The wearer literally becomes the ride rather than riding a separate machine. It’s not yet a practical or mass-market solution, but rather a daring experiment in personal mobility and creative reuse. While suited more for demonstration and exploration than daily commuting, the project sparks questions about how we define vehicles, wearable tech, and the future of transport.

In creating this suit, Carlini leaned heavily on ingenuity and resourcefulness. He addressed engineering hurdles of weight distribution, control, and integration within a human-body interface. Safety is one concern that pops up the first time you lay your eyes on this wearable bike. Driving with this on the crowded city streets or the highway is no less than a risky proposition with crazy motorists out there. Though far from a polished product, it stands as proof of concept that mobility might be reimagined in radically intimate, body-centric forms. In an age of evolving wearables and electric mobility, this wearable electric motorcycle suit invites us to consider what comes next.

The LEGO 72046 Game Boy released a couple of months ago, is one of the smallest video game sets released by the group to rejoice this fall. That said, the display set lacked just one little thing: the ability to play real Nintendo games. Natalie the Nerd, who’s a renowned Game Boy modder in the community, has got the dead set to play actual Game Paks, or any other modern homebrew titles. The Aussie modder even promised avid fans that she’ll release a $50 kit, so that you can play arcade titles on your LEGO Game Boy.

Even before the set became officially available for purchase a few days ago, Natalie took measurements from the announced press documentation of the set to create the custom kit. According to the tech-savvy modder who knows the Game Boy inside and out, rerouting the CPU, PCBs, power regulation, and capacitors is not much of a challenge for her. The main challenge was fitting everything inside the housing to make playing games possible.

Designer: Natalie the Nerd

What might seem like a cake walk for Natalie isn’t at all easy, as it involves taking the millimeter-perfect measurements and then 3D printing the custom components. She had to build a special circuit board to make the thing work without going for the easy way out – without going down the emulation rabbit hole. The space-conscious build within the LEGO model uses the LEGO model’s cartridge slot to fit the real cartridges to play games. Since she didn’t have the real thing until only a couple of days now, she was in the unknown about the tactile behavior of the LEGO buttons on the thing. Thankfully, LEGO Group takes things seriously, and the buttons work fine to implement real-world functionality. For now, to make the A and B buttons function perfectly, she has held them in place with an elastic band. As a permanent fix, Natalie will 3D print a LEGO piece to hold a custom PCB for the intended functionality.

According to Natalie, the power circuit is one used for her Safety Charger boards, tweaked to have a soft latching power button. The board also has extra pinouts for the 3D printed button matrix and audio. The power input is via the USB-C port connected to the 3D printed adapters that look like LEGO studs for a snug fit. The build has the speaker’s function missing as she’s figuring out how to connect them to the audio pins. The rear panel that holds the fake cartridge in place now has a slot that initiates the game for real.

The aftermarket she’s going to create for interested modders will require some basic level of soldering skills and circuitry know-how. Since it is going to be a raw affair, only wannabe modders are advised to go ahead with buying it. Natalie hasn’t detailed the availability of the DIY kit for the LEGO Game Boy, but it should be available in the coming weeks.

Fiio, as a Chi-Fi brand, has consistently delivered high-quality audio to music listeners and gamers who want to experience exceptional sound without breaking the bank. Their new dongle DAC headphone amplifier also predictably fits the bill when it comes to utility audio accessories that deserve to be a daily driver. This is Snowsky TINY, a DAC that truly complements its name without any compromise in the high-end audio you’ll get from it for your wired headphones or earphones.

The DAC comes in two variants, TINY A and TINY B, each designed for different audio listening needs and available gear. Both models have support for 32-bit/384kHz PCM and DSD256, so they are equipped to handle any high-resolution audio signal from your local files or lossless streaming services like Tidal, Apple Music, or Spotify. The DACs come with a multicolor RGB indicator that shows the audio quality being output through the amplifier. The biggest highlight is the $22 price that makes them worth every penny, considering similarly configured DACs cost twice the amount.

Designer: Fiio

The pocket-sized brick comes with a DSP engine and a 10-band parametric equalizer to fine-tune the frequency and gain based on your taste. The custom EQ profile can be saved to the cloud and shared with fellow audiophiles who are always conscious about the next best tuning setting. If you’ve got headphones with an inline remote and mic, the DAC comes in very handy as you can take calls or indulge in game chats without much fuss. It is compatible with a wide array of platforms, including Android, iOS, macOS, Windows, and Linux. The two variants support USB Audio Class 1.0 and 2.0, thereby making them compatible with the Nintendo Switch and PS5 consoles.

The build quality of the all-metal TINY DAC is impressive as it is CNC-milled. The T-shaped output keeps the cable stress to a minimum and is ergonomically placed for minimum intrusion when connected to the source. Coming on to the two variants, the TNY A comes with a 3.5 mm headphone jack and USB-C passthrough port. This gives you the freedom to listen to music and charge the phone simultaneously. The USB-C port has fast charging support of up to 2A/20V, which is a huge advantage. This variant is suited for people who love to play their music from phones, audio players, and other sources.

TINY B, on the other hand ditches the USB-C port for a 4.4mm jack, perfect for audiophiles who love the balanced channel mode for better audio clarity and playing from lossless platforms. This variant is ideal for people who have IEMs or high-end headphones that have a native 4.4mm jack for input. Since there are two jacks on this one, you can share music with other users simultaneously.

Amazon has revealed its fresh lineup of Kindle Scribes at the annual fall hardware event in New York, along with other announcements. The new devices have been reimagined from the ground up to fit the current-day requirements and iron out all the shortcomings of the previous models. The new Scribes will be available in the UK for starters, and the introduction of the first-ever color Kindle Scribe is a welcome addition. This comes as a more refined option compared to the cheaper Kindle Colorsoft Signature Edition, which is suited for occasional readers who want a smaller option.

All three models come with a brush of redesign to do away with the asymmetrical chin on one side. This makes these devices look sleeker, more like a tablet-like form factor. All the variants have an 11-inch glare-free screen, which is bigger than the previous model at 10.2 inches. Even with the increase in size, the Scribes are a lot lighter at 400 grams and less thick at 5.4mm. Compare that to the ultra-thin iPhone Air, and they are still the winner.

Designer: Amazon

The new Scribes come with an advanced front light system courtesy of tiny LEDs that have uniform light distribution for a paper-like look. It also helps in reducing the screen size and the bezels. To simulate the effect of writing with a pen on a paper surface, the glass has a unique texture, and the gap between the glass and the E Ink panel underneath is reduced for a good tactile feel. The page turns feel a lot smoother as there is 40 percent faster processing courtesy of the new quad-core processor and more memory at disposal. The normal Knidle Scribe comes in two variants, one has a front light system and the other misses out on it. The front light version will be available early next year for $430, while the one with light asks $500.

The most interesting of the three, the Scribe Colorsoft, comes with a larger version of the customized E Ink screen technology used in the brand’s color e-reader. You can read, write, and annotate documents with the 10 pen color options, or simply highlight text with the five different highlighter options. Those who love to draw can put the shading tool to good use, given its smoother gradients. Scribe Colorsoft comes with a display technology with soft color reproduction, unlike your phone screen. This almost feels like viewing a book, or a canvas when drawing art.

Other than that, the device has AI reading features, one of which is “Story so Far” that lets the user continue with what they were reading. The other one, called “Ask this Book” is used for highlighting passages or text to get inquisitive information on characters, or any backdrop the reader would benefit from. The Scribe comes with a week-long battery life and, most importantly, doesn’t have any distracting apps or notifications that could mar the reading experience. Kindle Scribe Colorsoft will be available starting $630 later this year.
