The latest in a trend of “aesthetic flexibility,” the Winora Urban E-Bike taps into a wider range of consumers by using customizable body covers and skins that are easily changed. The adaptability is made possible by a super-simple structure that maintains a variety of sitting positions for users of different sizes. The more E-Bikes on the road… the cleaner, quieter and more friendly cities will be!

Google's cycling directions have been slowly expanding their reach to the mobile world and other countries, but the only option for navigation so far has been to memorize the route. As of today, you won't have to stop every five minutes to get your bearings. Google Maps for Android has received a low-key update that adds spoken, turn-by-turn Google Maps Navigation for riders in every country where biking directions exist -- if you can clamp your phone to your handlebars, you can find your way. Many more riders are just seeing mobile support of any kind in the process. Both navigation and regular directions should now be live in the Android app for 10 more countries, including Australia, Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland and the UK. Cyclists just need to swing by Google Play to keep their two-wheeled adventures on track.
