EASY BREEZY BIKING
Gocycle GXi
Electric bikes are more popular than ever,
but finding a place to store them, especially
in smaller living spaces, is a big problem. The
Gocycle GXi ($4,800) solves that by folding into a
package about 2 ft. tall and 14 in. wide. But don’t
let the bike’s small size fool you: the GXi is a
comfy ride that can hit speeds of 20 m.p.h., with
up to 50 miles of electric- assisted range. Spoke-
free, side-mounted wheels make for quick tire
changes, and a compact, removable battery
makes it simple to recharge almost anywhere.
And with an app that lets you customize how
much power the bike delivers and when, you can
expect a smooth experience no matter where
you ride. —PATRICK LUCAS AUSTINHOUSEHOLD
COMPOSTING MADE EASY
Sepura
Each year, Americans generate
roughly 40 million tons of food
waste—the vast majority of
which ends up not in compost
piles but in landfills, or down
the drain. “It’s easier to
throw things out in the sink
than compost,” says Victor
Nicolov, the mind behind
Sepura ($580), an eco-friendly
disposal system. “No one
wants to deal with odors or
the pain of having to scrape a
plate into a bin.” The Sepura
remedies the annoyance,
turning your sink’s garbage
disposal into a composting
system, and making the entire
process mess-free. Whereas
conventional disposals grind
kitchen scraps, the Sepura
separates and collects solidsin a stink-free, 2.6-gal. bin
beneath the sink. Once full, the
odorless bin is easy to remove
and empty into a compost
pile or collection box. Sepura
expects building developers
to be its system’s biggest
customers, and plans to ship
the first 2,000 preordered units
in the early months of 2021.
