Hot in the world of tech, is Trek. Having a snoop around online this weekend meant that we got a glimpse of a new e-bike. We’ve not heard anything official from Trek, so we are hoping this isn’t an early, or late April Fools, as it looks great. It’s the Domane Plus! It comes with a Bosch battery providing 350w, which also powers up the integrated daytime running lights and according to the spec sheet it will also come equipped with a Sram Force 1x groupset too. More info on it when we have it!

We’ve been thinking about those lightweight bikes we talked about a couple of weeks back and whilst having a crazy lightweight bike isn’t necessarily that practical for all. We’ve decided to try and build the world’s most expensive bike! Ok, we haven’t actually built it, but we have scoured the internet to source the most expensive components for every single part of a bike. We wanted to try and get an idea of just how much the most expensive bike in the world could cost - in theory.

Let us know in the comments if we missed any super expensive components.👇
