Hello and welcome to this packed issue of Stuff! Our Hot Stuff section covers some of the excellent launches from this year’s Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, with releases from Asus, HP, Withings and more – including the lowdown on Lego’s intriguing Smart Brick and a preview of the Pebble Round 2 smartwatch (yes, Pebble is back!). We also check out LG’s Sound Suite of wireless home cinema gear. This issue’s cover feature is all about personal audio, with selections of the latest headphones covering in-ear, over-ear, gaming, fitness and more. If you’re in the market for something new, you’ll find the answers here… as well as some crazy-high-priced options. Our reviews section is busy with a watch and phone from OnePlus, a fantastic performer in the form of…

I was kicked out of school and became an alcoholic and drug addict. I’m not a conventional learner: undiagnosed but probably ADHD and dyslexic. I just didn’t land in school and, as a teenager, I got involved in very heavy drinking and hard drugs. By the time I was 21, I was broken. When I tried to stop, it just got progressively worse. So I decided to get some help and ended up going into rehab in South Africa, where I spent almost a year in treatment. I’ve never drunk or used drugs again. I’m 19 years clean in February. I first started cooking to socialise without jeopardising my sobriety. Cooking for friends was my way to build community around my table at home. I found it almost meditative: put…

FRONTS WITH FILMING The coruscating cam Garmin Varia Vue Flashing at an unmissable 600 lumens, this is a front light with a built-in 4K camera that can record constantly to microSD card (not supplied). Battery life is up to 7hrs depending on how you use it, and it’ll automatically save footage before, during and after an incident. £415 / go.stuff.tv/GVVue The legal locker Cycliq Fly12 Sport It’s not as bright as the Garmin at 400 lumens, but the Cycliq does come with a 64GB microSD card and promises to record 4K video continuously for up to 7hrs. It also has crash detection and will lock the video, saving it in case you need it as evidence later. £319 / go.stuff.tv/Fly12Sport The touchscreen twinkler Tooo Cycling DVF100 This one also records…

NOTHING HEADPHONE 1 Say what you like about Nothing, but it’s not afraid to mix it up with the most established brands around – and while it might not be victorious every time, it’s always got a point of difference or two with which to tempt wavering shoppers. The Headphone 1s are typically Nothing. They’re priced to go toe to toe with the likes of Bose and Sony; and as well as having a truly unique design (most welcome in a world where one pair of over-ears looks very much like another), their sound has been fettled by legendary British audio brand KEF in order to score a big dose of audio credibility. The adaptive ANC is all the firm’s own work, though, and it’s a very decent effort –…

BEATS POWERBEATS FIT Apple-owned Beats makes some of the best fitness headphones around. With their 100% guaranteed ear-hook fit, the Powerbeats Pro 2 are ideal for soundtracking workouts. But if hooks aren’t your style, the new Powerbeats Fit promise top-class stay-put security, even for your most active and sweaty gym sessions, in a more compact form. And they deliver. If your lugs often send regular in-ears to the grubby street or gym floor, these buds’ stiffened wing-tip design offers some welcome extra backup. The harder prongy bit loops into your outer ear for a lock-tight fit; I found them secure even under the pressure of mid-exercise prods on their pleasingly simple physical button controls. But there is a trade-off. The firmer foam can put pressure on your ears, making them…

from £259 / go.stuff.tv/M8Pro ■ The M8 Pro is Poco’s take on the Redmi Note 15 Pro+, with one or two things dialled back to hit an even more wallet-friendly price point. The two look largely identical, but here the rear island holds a 50MP lead camera rather than a 200MP one. Not that you’d notice, as picture quality is very similar, even when cropping in for 2x ‘zoom’. It’s decent budget blower fare. ■ Performance comes from the same mid-tier Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 chipset as the Redmi. It’s smooth enough, opening apps without much delay. Graphically intensive games default to low settings but remain playable. ■ While you can politely say no to the initial setup screen that prompts you to install a bunch of bloat, the app…

1 Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7 from £1799 / go.stuff.tv/ZFold7 Cutting a few features has turned the Z Fold7 into the best of the current foldable breed. The lack of stylus support might sting a little for the small minority who used an S Pen on older Folds, and battery life is becoming a bit of a lead weight for Samsung phones in general. But the Z Fold7’s svelte form, expansive screens and capable rear cameras otherwise bring it up to par. Feature-packed software and swift performance then make it very easy to live with indeed. Stuff says Slim, speedy, and with superior snappers: Samsung has finally got a foldable right 2 Honor Magic V5 £1400 / go.stuff.tv/MV5 This is a genuine rival to the Z Fold7 in terms of its…

Sony WH-1000XM6 £399 / go.stuff.tv/XM6 Sony’s noise-cancellers only needed subtle upgrades to stay ahead of the pack for this generation – these are the most complete headphones the company has ever delivered. The combination of exceptional comfort, class-leading ANC and versatile sound profiles results in a pair of cans that will adapt to anything you care to throw at them. For those who spend hours each day immersed in music or media, they’re worth every penny. Stuff says Superb sound, jaw-dropping ANC and the return of foldability keep Sony out in front NOW ADD THIS TwelveSouth AirFly SE This adapter lets you use your XM6s wirelessly with the headphone port on a plane, with 20hrs of battery life. £40 / twelvesouth.com TIPS & TRICKS • Enable spatial audio and head-tracking…

1 Apple MacBook Air (M4) from £929 / go.stuff.tv/AirM4 The M4-powered Air clearly takes things on a step, thanks to various improvements combined with a lower starting price. While Windows ultraportables are improving all the time, they can’t match the performance and battery life on show here. This is not Apple’s biggest ever forward leap, but it’s enough to keep it clear out in front. Stuff says Oh-so-predictably, the MacBook Air is still the everyday laptop to beat NOW ADD THIS Anker Prime Charging Docking Station This clever dock offers 14 different functions, including mega-fast charging and dual display support. £180 / anker.com TIPS & TRICKS • You can use two screens plus the Air’s own. Arrange them in System Settings > Displays. • Turn on Show Percentage and you’ll always…

1 Sky Stream from £15/m / go.stuff.tv/SkyStream It’s hard to find fault with this little puck. The basic package includes the ad version of Netflix as well as Discovery+ with Eurosport – and while Sky Sports and Sky Cinema are a pricey upgrade, Sky’s Entertainment OS makes the Stream a bit of a doozy if you want to have a monthly sub rather than using Now (which is more of a dip-in job for when you just fancy the football or films for a brief period). Sky Q remains excellent, but if you can’t/won’t have a dish, this is the ideal solution. Stuff says Making it more affordable and accessible than ever, this is the best way to watch Sky TV 2 Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K £60 / go.stuff.tv/TVStick4K The…

1 Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 from £29 / PC, PS5, XSX With a brilliant combat system that elevates turn-based battles by adding the sort of active dodge and parry mechanics you might find in a hardcore action RPG, Sandfall Interactive’s Gallic-tinged adventure is proof positive that indie studios can compete directly against genre titans when vision and execution align perfectly. Stuff says An astonishing debut that rubs shoulders with some of the RPG genre’s greats OR PLAY THIS Final Fantasy VII Rebirth This adventure’s gameplay is much more varied, and it takes itself a little less seriously. from £28 / PC, PS5 TIPS & TRICKS • Resting up at expedition flags heals your party, but also respawns nearby enemies. • Lamps and lanterns light the critical path, but unlit routes…

1 Renault 5 from £21,495 / go.stuff.tv/Renault5 Renault has taken the best bits of its 1970s hatchback and reimagined them for the electric era, with phenomenal success. The new 5 dazzles from every angle and the interior is every bit as good, with room to comfortably seat four and just the right amount of tech. It’s a compact car made with cities in mind, but when you get out on a twisting rural trail there’s lots of fun to be had. A lot of electric cars are somewhat bland and uninspiring; this one is just the opposite. Stuff says This brilliant bundle of fun offers everything a small EV should, at a fair price 2 Tesla Model 3 from £37,990 / go.stuff.tv/Tesla3 This is much more than a simple mid-cycle refresh…

1 Meta Quest 3S from £290 / go.stuff.tv/Quest3S On price alone, the Meta Quest 3S looks hard to fault. You’re getting the same internals, same controllers and same colour passthrough cameras as the full Quest 3, just with last-gen optics. The built-in speakers envelop you in positional audio, the Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2 brings much faster load times than the Quest 2, and the graphics have taken a dramatic step up. Rivals can’t compete with Meta’s range of games, and the level of immersion is up there with the best PC-based VR. Stuff says This is as well-rounded as affordable VR gets, making it a fantastic entry point for the tech 2 Sony PlayStation VR 2 £399 / go.stuff.tv/SonyPSVR2 As long as you have the PS5 needed to use it…

1 Fujifilm X-T50 £1149 / go.stuff.tv/XT50 This is a wonderfully compact mirrorless camera with a distinctive top plate covered in control dials – including one dedicated to Fuji’s excellent film simulations. On paper it should deliver identical image quality to the flagship X-T5 (both have the same sensor and image processor), and that is absolutely the case: the 40MP sensor captures amazing detail, noise is well maintained at all ISO levels, and sharpness is on point across the frame. Stuff says A brilliant camera that puts Fuji’s fine film simulations front and centre NOW ADD THIS Fujifilm XF 16-50mm f2.8-4.8 An essential first lens for any Fuji newcomer, the 16-50mm is well suited to most scenarios. £599 / parkcameras.com TIPS & TRICKS • With film simulations on a dedicated dial…

Hang about, what year is this? It’s 2026, but this retro camera will let you pretend it’s practically any decade you wish thanks to its nifty ‘Eras’ dial. It replicates the look of classic cameras from any decade between the 1930s and today, so if you select the ’60s the 15-second videos it shoots will look like Super 8 (complete with spinning reel sound effects), while the ’80s setting mimics the look of 35mm film. You can adjust the strength of the effect and it even changes the resolution to match: all modes except the 2020s, which ups the quality to 1440x1080, are captured at 800x600. Ah, so it’s nothing to do with Taylor Swift? Thankfully not. It’s still an Instax camera, so you can also apply the effects to…

A lienware effectively gave birth to the modern gaming laptop with the original Area-51m of the early 2000s, so bringing the name back for a modern audience carries a lot of weight. The new Area-51 has soft, almost organic curves and a ‘liquid teal’ colour scheme that gives the anodised aluminium lid an iridescent sheen – one that shifts colours in changing light. The RGB lighting is done tastefully, a single strip of LEDs casting a diffused glow over what Alienware calls the Thermal Shelf – essentially a chunky rear ‘chin’ behind the screen hinge that contains ports and cooling kit. There’s more character here than you’ll find in other gaming laptops, without going fully overboard on the alien thing. And that’s before you flip the thing over: a glass window…

BOWERS & WILKINS Px8 S2 When the time came to replace 2022’s Px8 wireless noise-cancelling over-ear headphones, Bowers & Wilkins didn’t exactly start again from scratch. Some significant aspects have been retained, or otherwise lifted from the more affordable Px7 S3 model – in fact, the most obvious changes are visual. The Px8 S2s are slightly more low-profile and slightly lighter than the model they replace, and make a gesture towards ‘design’ in the way the cable is exposed in the aluminium arms. At 310g these are slightly lighter than the headphones they replace, and they stay comfortable for hours at a time. This is helped by just the right amount of memory foam beneath the leather of the earcups and headband (both of which can now be renewed or…

SONY WF-C710N It goes without saying that Sony has plenty of previous when it comes to affordable true wireless in-ears. But here the company may have surpassed itself: even by its own lofty standards, these buds are something special. Nothing’s perfect, of course, so we may as well mention the areas in which the WF-C710Ns aren’t complete front-runners (it won’t take long). The charging case is relatively bulky, and they don’t have especially wide-ranging Bluetooth codec support. With that out of the way, let’s pile into all the areas where they represent cracking value. Let’s start with the ANC. It’s a binary on/off system with an added transparency mode, and it’s pretty effective with all but the most insistent high-frequency sounds. The capacitive touch controls are reliable and swift, the…

STEELSERIES ARCTIS NOVA 7 GEN 2 It’s impressive what you get for your money with the wireless Arctis Nova 7 Gen 2. This is a feature-stuffed and refined evolution from the first generation. It has the same comfy build of previous models, with adjustable and rotating earcups and the option to swap out the cups and band. There’s that ever-satisfying volume wheel, which feels good under your fingers – practical if old-school in its approach. And it’s still lightweight, while feeling fairly robust. Setup is a breeze, with a USB-C dongle there to do the hard work but also an option to pair via Bluetooth or even use a 3.5mm cable. Plus it has impressive battery life: this is listed at 54hrs in 2.4GHz mode, and my testing proved that…

THE BASICS ■ Find what matters Gmail’s design is typical Google minimalism: an inbox front and centre, a big search bar up top, a sidebar button top-left (where you’ll find Settings) and your profile button top-right. AI is on the way, but for now, go to Settings > [email address if on Android] > ‘Inbox type’ to decide which emails are listed first. ■ Add labels Use ‘⋮’ > ‘Label as’ to tag any open email. Messages can wear multiple labels at once, and even ‘Inbox’ is technically just another label. You can also move emails directly ‘into’ labels, which sound like folders until you remember one message can be in several places at the same time. ■ Type less Typing on a phone is a chore; Gmail makes things…

from £649 / go.stuff.tv/15R DAY 01 Officially the 15R is Robin to the OnePlus 15’s Batman, but I have a hard time telling when I first get it out of the box. The two look awfully similar, with the same modern flat styling, offset rectangular camera bump and customisable Plus Key. The only giveaways are the slightly thicker screen bezel up front and a marginal difference in dimensions. Even in the initial setup, I can tell that cherry-picking some often-overlooked hardware has helped keep up the illusion that we’re in true flagship territory. Whereas most step-down rivals use optical fingerprint sensors that aren’t as fast to detect your digits, here you’re getting the same speedy ultrasonic job as the OnePlus 15, which doesn’t force you to lift your finger a…

1 Google Pixel 9a from £499 / go.stuff.tv/Pixel9a This might be Google’s affordable model, but it looks and feels very grown-up. In no way does the Pixel 9a come across like a cut-price option, and a scan of the spec sheet shows there’s not a lot of breathing room between it and the Pixel 9: same Tensor G4 chipset, same Gemini-infused Android 15, same 6.3in size for the OLED display. The cameras are excellent for the cash, as usual, while the battery and performance punch above their weight. Stuff says Improved in all the ways that matter – a classy phone experience for less cash 2 Nothing Phone 3a from £279 / go.stuff.tv/Phone3a One of the most comprehensive affordable phones out there, with stand-out styling, unique features and slick software.…

1 OnePlus Watch 3 £219 / go.stuff.tv/OPWatch3 This is a simply superb wearable, with the best battery life of any Wear OS watch – thanks to silicon-carbon cell technology borrowed from OnePlus’s smartphones – and subtle yet meaningfully improved styling. Health tracking has taken a big step forward, even if we’d still give the edge to a top-tier Garmin for more serious stattery; but with pricing on its side, the OnePlus Watch 3 should be right at the top of any Android smartwatch shopper’s list. Stuff says A more refined take on an already fantastic watch that lasts longer and is even more fitness-friendly 2 Apple Watch SE 3 from £199 / go.stuff.tv/WatchSE3 This has to be Apple’s most value-packed product ever. The Series 11 is worth the extra for…

1 LG OLED42C5 £999 / go.stuff.tv/LGC5 LG’s mid-range OLED TVs have long been Stuff favourites, and the 42in C5 is a fantastic performer with a bump in HDR brightness that nudges it comfortably ahead of the outgoing C4. The company’s webOS is more cluttered than it used to be and the speakers are pretty basic, but if you want the best all-round OLED for your cash then the C5 is the one for you – not least because it’s way, way cheaper now than at launch. Stuff says LG delivers another excellent OLED all-rounder with engaging HDR images NOW ADD THIS LG S95TR Up-firing rear satellites and a wireless sub create 9.1.5 Dolby Atmos surround sound. £1299 / johnlewis.com TIPS & TRICKS • Got a modern LG soundbar? WOW Orchestra tech…

1 Apple iPad Pro (M5) from £999 / go.stuff.tv/iPadProM5 This may be ‘just’ an upgraded version of the M4-powered iPad Pro, but it takes the best tablet out there and reinforces its superiority. It’s clear Apple wants to keep it a step ahead of the cheaper iPads as an appealing option for people who would have otherwise bought a laptop: the ‘tandem OLED’ display is a real stunner, making for a superb creation and consumption tool, and the company has finally listened to those of us who wanted better multitasking. Stuff says An incredibly powerful tablet, now with an OS capable of working across multiple apps at once 2 OnePlus Pad 3 from £499 / go.stuff.tv/Pad3 It’s hard to think of anything more you could want from an Android tablet – regardless…

1 Sonos Move 2 £449 / go.stuff.tv/SonosMove2 The ‘2’ means our favourite speaker is now even better. Sonos has upgraded the Move in the areas that matter most: sound quality and battery life, the latter of which has more than doubled. Our only criticisms are about the high price and the weight – and the Sonos app, which has been a pain for years now. Line-in is also a little bit of a faff with the extra adapter… but if you’re in the market for this box, you’re probably beyond cables. Stuff says Beefed-up audio and a longer-lasting battery – a winning combo NOW ADD THIS YouTube Music Premium If you’d like a side of optional visuals with your audio, try the ad-free tier of YouTube Music.  £10.99/m / music.youtube.com…

1 Amazon Echo Spot (2nd Gen) £79 / go.stuff.tv/EchoSpot The Spot can do everything Alexa normally can, making it much more than just an alarm clock. Play podcasts, audiobooks and music from various providers, as well as controlling smart home devices from the comfort of your bed. Different animations appear on the display for things like the weather and song titles or calendar events. Stuff says A fully capable Alexa device that also happens to be a pretty good alarm clock NOW ADD THIS Honeywell T6R This Zigbee-enabled thermostat is wireless so you can place it anywhere. £134 / screwfix.com TIPS & TRICKS • You can tap the front to skip songs or snooze an alarm. Handy when you’re still half asleep. • Use the Alexa app to customise the…

1 DJI Osmo Action 5 Pro £249 / go.stuff.tv/Osmo5Pro It may not topple the GoPro Hero13 Black on sheer specs, but the Osmo Action 5 Pro trumps it in real-world performance: 4K@60fps footage is punchy and detailed, with natural colour, effective stabilisation and file formats that give creators plenty of room for grading. It also lasts longer on a charge, manages double the case-free dive depth, and packs plenty of onboard storage. Plus the quick-release mount system gets on with both DJI’s own accessories and GoPro’s mounts. Stuff says This all-rounder snatches GoPro’s crown with sheer performance, brilliant build quality and superb features 2 Antigravity A1 £1219 / go.stuff.tv/AntigravityA1 This little flyer does things no other sub-250g drone can do, including total 360° editing power. It captures brilliant all-around footage…

1 Amazon Echo Dot (5th Gen) £55 / go.stuff.tv/EchoDot5 The latest Dot offers improved sound quality over the 4th Gen model. Not surprisingly given its size, it still doesn’t have the heft of a full-scale Echo, but this Dot is more than good enough for bedside table or kitchen listening. The only pity is that Amazon has discontinued the better ‘with Clock’ variant in favour of the Echo Spot. Stuff says The 5th Gen brings a nice upgrade to an already excellent little gadget NOW ADD THIS Wall Mount for Echo Dot This mount for the Dot (and other small speakers) will keep it clear from wet kitchen surfaces. £14 / amazon.co.uk TIPS & TRICKS • Alexa’s voice can work like an intercom with connected Echo devices. • Alexa Voice…

FOCAL BATHYS MG If you thought the Focal Bathys over-ear wireless noise-cancellers were expensive, think again. The French firm has had a good long think about things: it’s developed an all-new magnesium driver and built it in-house, then it’s added a lovely new ‘chestnut’ finish and badged the resulting model ‘Bathys MG’. Oh, and then stuck an even bigger price ticket on it. But don’t imagine the MGs can’t justify that price. They really look the part, and are beautifully built and finished. They have potent battery life, and manage to remain comfortable even if you drain all that power in one sitting. They use Bluetooth 5.2, with aptX Adaptive compatibility and multipoint pairing. They have a great control app, are compatible with your source player’s native voice assistant, and…

MEZE AUDIO 105 SILVA As you can see, these are wired over-ears – and this is not a product category that tends to pile it on where techy features are concerned. In fact, the 105 Silvas have just one significant feature, and that’s the way they’re built: in each earcup there’s a 50mm dynamic driver with a cellulose composite dome and titanium-covered surround, and a titanium-coated semicrystalline polymer torus. Meze says these drivers offer outstanding rigidity and strength, and deliver rapid transient response with super-low distortion: the firm claims a frequency response of 5Hz to 30kHz. The driver has, it seems, been tuned in an effort to combine the sonic versatility of its more affordable 105 AER sibling with the attention to detail of the pricier 109 Pro model, while…

BANG & OLUFSEN BEO GRACE Off the top of your head, name the company you think is most likely to make a pair of wireless in-ear headphones costing £1000. If you said “Bang & Olufsen”, congratulations – you don’t win a prize but you obviously know what you’re talking about. If you didn’t, well, at least you’ll know for next time… Not only is the idea of £1k buds typical of Bang & Olufsen, but the way the company has realised them is classic B&O too. Because while the look, the feel, the design and the execution of these true in-ears are all absolutely exquisite – streets ahead, really, of the best any nominal rival can offer – the way they are specified is remarkably mainstream for a product wearing…

£80 / go.stuff.tv/DotMax ■ The Echo Dot Max is like the Echo Dot but with beefed-up sound and a tweaked design. It seems to be intended to replace the standard Echo, which is no longer available, making the range slightly less confusing for potential buyers. £80 isn’t cheap, but with Amazon’s frequent sales events I’d say it will be under £50 before too long. ■ The Max has been designed primarily as a vehicle for Alexa+, the next generation of the smart assistant, based on generative AI. But there’s a problem: Alexa+ is currently only available in the US. And while Amazon has been at pains to point out that it’s working on localised versions, there is no date for it coming to the UK at the time of writing.…

1 OnePlus 15 from £849 / go.stuff.tv/OnePlus15 Any pretence of OnePlus being an underdog in the phone world has been thrown out of the window here: there’s not really a box the OnePlus 15 doesn’t tick. It’s a top performer, lasts ages, has competitive cameras, and looks every bit the flagship. Only the most serious of photographers will be left wanting, but they’ll have to spend a lot more to get significantly better snaps. Everyone else will struggle to find much to grumble about. Stuff says Ace performance, stamina and cameras: this is the all-rounder for most people NOW ADD THIS Hole-Pattern Magnetic Case This durable cover plays nicely with most MagSafe kit, and has customisable colour accents. £36 / oneplus.com TIPS & TRICKS ● Not an AI addict? Remap…

1 Sony WF-1000XM5 £219 / go.stuff.tv/WFXM5 The WF-1000XM5 in-ears are significantly smaller than the XM4s, which were already a lot more compact than their predecessors. And yet Sony has still squeezed even larger drivers inside each earbud, along with the firm’s best noise-cancelling yet. The feature list is as extensive as ever, and they’re priced to compete with Bose’s best. Add in decent battery life and a strong app, and you won’t find anything more well-rounded for less. Stuff says Excellent noise-cancellation, a comfy fit and simply stellar audio NOW ADD THIS Spigen Rugged Armor Case This drop-resistant outer shield comes with a carabiner clip for keeping your buds within reach. £20 / amazon.co.uk TIPS & TRICKS • Sony’s eartips are great, as long as you use the right size.…

1 Sennheiser Ambeo Soundbar Max £1599 / go.stuff.tv/AmbeoMax Utterly convincing Dolby Atmos and DTS:X 3D sound, ample power and lots of inputs mean no other soundbar currently available can perform sonic feats with the solidity and confidence of this Sennheiser. The sheer room-filling scale of its sound is remarkable – and the more affordable (but still hugely powerful) Plus version is also worth a look. Stuff says The Ambeo Soundbar Max is a big unit but the sound it makes is bigger still 2 Sonos Arc Ultra £999 / go.stuff.tv/ArcUltra It’s scarcely believable that such high-quality sound can come from such a diminutive form. The Ultra is about as big as upgrades get, with much more quality on offer than you get from the standard Arc. Stuff says Incredible for movies, music…

1 Canyon Grizl:ONfly CF Daily £5149 / go.stuff.tv/Grizl The Grizl:ONfly is just as much at home as a commuter steed as it is on the rough stuff. It’s got a more laid-back riding position than a dedicated road bike, and it comes fitted with mudguards, integrated lighting and a rear rack as standard. Rough surfaces are absorbed to impressive effect, steering feels wonderfully nimble, and you get reassuring amounts of stopping power whatever the weather. There’s very little this e-bike can’t tackle. Stuff says A supremely capable, relatively lightweight e-bike that will ace any adventure 2 VanMoof S5 £2698 / go.stuff.tv/S5 This isn’t a light bike, but we can’t fault the build quality. It majors on minimalist design and packing more tempting tech than most rivals, while wide tyres and a padded…
