Angell E-Bike
Personal transport has been revolutionised since the advent of electric motor assisted bicycles, but one of the drawbacks has been their weight and bulky design. That is until French company Angell decided to let designer Ora Ïto have a stab at creating a super sleek e-bike. The result is one of the lightest in the world at less than 16kg. It looks the part, too.
£2,690, available at Angell Bike.
Dictator Generations En Lalique Rum
Proving that rum is becoming every bit as exclusive as whisky, Lalique has teamed up with Colombian maestros Dictador for a superlative collaboration: Dictador Generations En Lalique. The hand-made decanter is an evocative, light-filled play on tropical waters and the liquid inside is just as special, a blend of rums dating back to 1976. Generations is right.
Tasting Notes: Port and sherry on the nose with smoky cinnamon giving way to leather, dark fruits and Christmas spices. Similar notes follow through on the palate, joined by cocoa, vanilla and dark, delicious coffee. The finish is a mix of smoky tobacco and sweet fruits, balanced and long-lasting.
Limited to 300 decanters, #0 sold at Sotheby’s for £30,000, RRP £14,000, available at Dictador.
The Axsim Formula Simulator
Most simulators only manage a facsimile of the real thing, as close to tearing round the Nurburgring as Street Fighter is getting into a brawl. The Axsim Formula Simulator by Cranfield however is not a toy; it’s the closest thing you can get to reality without getting into an F1 racer. Thanks to their 4 modules of motion technology operating in 11 degrees of freedom across 6 axes, the near-instantaneous system feels like the real thing – enough that the manufacturer supplies professional drivers across the world. When you feel this thing emulate sustained motion, you’ll see why.
From £36,000, available at Axsim Racing.
