Audi Electric Mountain Bike Powered by Fantic

The German automobile manufacturer Audi holds a famed reputation for its high-end and smoothly functioning vehicles. One of its newest releases, an electric bike in collaboration with Fantic, is worth all the hype associated with the luxury motor brand. The Audi Electric Mountain Bike Powered by Fantic takes design inspiration from the Dakar Rally-winning Audi RS Q e-Tron which can be driven effortlessly even in the most challenging terrains.

Similarly, this enduro bike is engineered with motors that make it easy for cyclists to ride comfortably both uphill and downhill, thanks to its 180mm suspension mechanism that allows for a pleasant ride. It has a rotational force of 90Nm and a power output that equals 250 watts which is powered by the inbuilt 36-volt lithium-ion Fantic battery pack. Even without putting in any effort, this e-bike can go up to a speed of 25 km/h. When it comes to stopping the bike, regardless of what speed it is being driven, the brakes can be applied precisely with zero struggle due to its INCAS 2.0 braking system.

Its frame, which is complete with a digital screen for keeping track of speed and battery power, is made using an alloy of carbon and aluminium that makes the bicycle light in weight, allowing for flexible electromobility in all instances. Available in three different sizes, this Fantic-powered Audi e-bike is about HK$76,000.

DJI Inspire 3 all-in-one 8K camera drone

Our eyes are often regarded as the best camera because no camera can capture a scene as vividly as human eyes. But an equally fantastic gadget is the DJI Inspire 3 all-in-one 8K camera drone, which is even better in some ways because it allows you to record and review your recordings.

DJI has opted for a compact design that brings all the parts of the drone camera – the FPV camera, visual sensors, positioning antennas and storage card slot – into a single airframe, thus not only keeping the design simple but also taking aerodynamics into consideration so that the flight is less resistant to air. This low resistance allows the drone to reach a maximum flight speed of 10m/s and a maximum duration of 28 minutes.

Its GPS system uses Real-Time Kinematics technology with centimetre-level accuracy, ensuring that the drone can be flown more precisely. The DJI Inspire 3 offers different flight modes, among which one is the repeatable routes which allow you to take the same route repeatedly until you get the shot of your liking.

For the camera, DJI has improvised its Zenmuse X9-8K to include the newly developed image processing CineCore 3.0 which allows videos to be captured in 8K resolution. It is also integrated with the Spotlight Pro feature that enables the camera to recognise its subjects more efficiently. Available at DJI’s online store for HK$88,299.
