CANDY CRUSHING IT
The Skullcandy Push Active
(£69.99, skullcandy.co.uk) was
designed for exercising and thus
features flexible over-ear hooks to
ensure the buds stay in place even
when you’re moving around like a
crazy person, trying to keep up
with your HIIT instructor. You also
get Skull-iQ voice control and
impressive battery life: 10 hours in
the earbuds and 34 hours in the
charging case, plus rapid charging.
For just under £70. What a bargain.20 T3 DECEMBER 2021Horizon
FitnessEXO-LLENT
Enhanced Robotics Sportsmate 5 exoskeleton takes
hiking and fitness to the next levelEven in 2021, lightweight, wearable
exoskeletons seem and feel futuristic. You
won’t pass anyone wearing one on the
street, nor will you see people in the gym
assisting their squats with such a device.
That said, non-commercial exoskeletons
do exist and better still, you can not only
pre-order them, but they also cost less
than a run-of-the-mill MacBook. Take, for
example, the Enhanced Robotics
Sportsmate 5 ($899, xenhanced.com).
This handy little device has two modes- Outdoor and Fitness – and provides
either assistance or resistance, depending
on what you need.
In Outdoor mode, it provides 18 Nm of
assistance, while in Fitness mode, it offers
an added 10 Nm of resistance. According
to Enhanced Robotics, wearing the
Sportsmate 5 for certain exercises can
help you burn 40% more calories.
Featuring two actuators at each side of
your hips, the Sportsmate 5 exoskeleton
will last through strenuous fitness routines,
with a battery that holds a charge for the
equivalent of 6.5 miles of walking distance.XIAOMI MI SMART
FOLDING ELECTRIC
BIKE
This Mi Smart folding ebike
is not the most fun on two
wheels by any means, but for
less than half the price of a
Brompton, you get a well-
built, decent foldable bike
that’s very convenient to
transport and store.

ROADLITE:ON
At around 16 kg, the
Roadlite:On could almost
be described as lightweight,
and thanks to the upright
riding position and 11-speed
Shimano gearing, the bike
feels extremely nimble. It’s
not what you would call
cheap, but the Roadlite:On is
excellent value.

FLUX ONE
The Pure Flux One offers
an exceptional value for
money and punches above its
weight in terms of looks and
performance. It has only one
gear, mechanical disk brakes
and no chain: the bike uses
a grease-free, ‘unbreakable’
carbon belt.
