This is a beautiful carbon fiber bicycle, which was painted with completely black paint becomes why not? It's almost invisible at night. The Urban Stealth single-speed bicycle is inspired by the F-117 Nighthawk aircraft. The
B-9 NH Urban Stealth concept bicycle was designed and made by
BME. It features a carbon fiber frame and fork, one piece carbon stem-handlebar, BME Design's unique carbon S72 Saddle system, and CNC machined alloy cranks custom designed for the B-9 NH.

This concept mouse is something I would have in my home computer setup. It was inspired by the iconic design of the Eames Lounge Chair,
Shane Chen's lounge mouse elevates the humble input device. True to the original, the base is formed from bent plywood with a cutout on the bottom for a black plastic plate housing the battery, optical sensor, and power switch. The top surface is appropriately covered with black leather, save for the scroll wheel, providing a luxurious feel fitting for its inspiration. While it remains a concept, there isn't yet any plans for a real-world example but I'm hoping it does!

The
Mini Transparent Speaker ($550) from Stockholm-based Transparent Sound designed a splendid minimal speaker. The single-piece aluminum frame has side panels of tempered glass, so as to put the dual full-range drivers on display. A built-in amp provides power, built-in Bluetooth provides a wireless option, and "True Wireless" support lets you pair two units together for a broader soundstage. There are a volume control and an input on the front, and a compartment in the bottom that provides both USB power and an input for an Echo, Sonos Hub, Chromecast, or similar additional wireless device, giving you the ability to upgrade the system as needed.
Do you want a smaller, cheaper version of the
Nintendo Switch($200)? Now it's here! It does make a few trade-offs to reach its size and price point. Most notably, it won't dock for display on your TV, its Joy-Con controllers aren't detachable, and its screen measures 5.5 inches instead of 6.2. That said, it should also feel more sturdy thanks to the lack of removable pieces, has longer battery life, is slightly lighter — 0.61 lbs versus 0.88 lbs — and yet is still compatible with the vast majority of Switch titles, making it a great entry-level option. Launching in yellow, gray, and turquoise on September 20.
Sony's WH-1000XM3 ($230) are considered the best noise-canceling headphones on the market. Now they're bringing the same tech to the wireless earbud space. The WF-1000XM3 are powered by a QN1e processor, a sibling to the WH's QN1. Dual microphones. One feed-forward and one feed-back to help get rid of unwanted noises, while the 0.24" driver creates amazing full sound. You'll get about six hours of battery life per charge, with a total of 24 available with the charging case, and they come in silver or black.
There are plenty of reasons to choose a bike for transportation, especially in an urban area. But when you have to pick up groceries or bigger objects, hopping into a car seems a little easier. The
Convercycle ($1,340+) is the first two-in-one biking option that is both a city bike and a cargo bike. It's equipped with a Shinamo Nexus 5-speed geared hub, 28-inch wheels, and professional disc brakes, and converts to a cargo bike by simply lifting the back end to extend the frame by rolling out the back tire. It can haul over 130 pounds, and there is an electric option as well that is powered by a 250 W motor with a max speed of 15mph. Made to fit anywhere you go, it's easy to ride, park, and lock at your destination.
