Watsonian Sidecars have developed a fitting Kit for the Livewire S2 Del Mar (2024-'25) - their first for a production electric motorcycle. "Designing a fitting kit for an electric bike like the Livewire is particuclarly challenging" explains Watsonian General Manager Ben Hall. "It doesn't have a conventional frame, and a cast alloy battery box sits where the engine would be found, so there are no suitable mounting points to attach a sidecar. Our engineering department had to

Weise™ Hive summer gloves are made for the new realities of British summer riding. With UK temperatures regularly pushing into the high twenties and beyond, proper ventilation has moved from a luxury to a necessity. The starting point for the Hive is their 3D mesh construction. Unlike conventional mesh fabrics, which simply reduce material weight, 3D mesh creates a structural cellular-type layer that actively drives air through the glove. The open cells form channels that fun

Modern motorcycles can come fitted with any one of half a dozen battery types: conventional lead-acid (STD), AGM, GEL, or one of the new generation 12.8V-13.2V LiFePO4 lithium units increasingly fitted as standard. Each variant has different charging and maintenance requirements. For a single-bike owner that's just about manageable; for a household with two or three bikes, or a rider who likes to change machines regularly, knowing which battery is fitted and which charger t

LS2’s popular Explorer dual sport helmet is now available in Forged Carbon: an innovative shell construction that delivers high levels of strength without compromising on weight. Originally developed by Lamborghini and Callaway Golf Company, forged carbon is made by mixing chopped fibres of carbon with resin and then pressing them into shape. The multi-directional fibres deliver up to five times the strength of traditional woven carbon and increase impact resistance, all with

BMW’s R 1300 RS sport-tourer is capable of covering some serious miles, with one caveat: the lower engine casings and exhaust downpipes are fully exposed to debris, gravel and spray thrown up by the front wheel. Pyramid’s new Belly Pan covers the underside of the boxer twin engine and forms a solid shield between the casings and whatever the front tyre throws up. It also guards the exhaust downpipes from repeated stone strikes and road grime that cause corrosion and damage o

When Alice and Frank Fowler opened a cycle shop in the St Paul’s district of Bristol in the 1920s, how could they have imagined that 100 years later it would grow into one of the biggest motorcycle dealers in the country? Their son, Harold, joined the business in 1926 and introduced motorcycles shortly after, starting a family dynasty which continues to this day. Harry, as he was known to his peers, was a prominent scrambler and trials rider in the late 1940s and 1950s, with

If your garage has more than one vehicle in it — a motorcycle alongside the family car, a classic tucked away under a cover, a camper van that only comes out in summer — keeping on top of battery maintenance can feel like a part-time job. Designed specifically to take the pain out of multi-vehicle battery care, the OptiMate 6 - 6A uses AmpMatic, a charging algorithm that automatically reads the battery and adjusts its output accordingly. Connect it to a motorcycle battery an
