This week's e-bike news is all about exactly that-things that are new! We have a new e-bike release from Trek, a sneak peek at Rivian's upcoming e-bike, and new helmet technology that is proving safer than MIPS. Trek's new model, an electric gravel bike called the Checkpoint+ SL, is available in three spec tiers. All of them are equipped with TQ's 350W peak HPR60 mid-drive and are advertised to weigh between 30 and 31 lbs.

Integrated MIPS II safety system - the same brain protection found in more expensive helmets. In-mold construction - durable, lighter shell with good impact absorption. Roc Loc Sport Fit System - easy dial adjustment and solid stability. Decent ventilation and padding - comfortable on everyday rides and moderate distances. This is a helmet that's good enough to wear with confidence. For me, that's the bottom line.
