The Best of CES 2023: Cars, PCs, Hearing Aids, and Wireless TVs
These are the products, prototypes, and ideas that most clearly signaled the future at this year’s consumer tech showcase….
If you made the switch to an electric bike during the pandemic, then you want—nay, need and deserve—a bike that’s as safe and effective as your car. This week, Bosch introduced a new lineup of antilock braking systems for ebikes outfitted with the company’s electric drivetrains. An update to Bosch’s previous ABS offering, the new system uses speed sensors built into the hydraulic brake hardware that measure how fast the specially enhanced brake rotors are spinning, and then determine what amount of stopping force needs to be applied to bring you and your cargo safely to a halt. Like ABS systems on cars, these antilock brakes are more effective than traditional braking systems—especially in adverse weather conditions. Bosch will produce different systems tuned for mountain biking, city commuting, and cargo hauling. Right now, Bosch’s two-wheeled ABS is available only in parts of Europe, but it will arrive on American roads this summer.
