Lug Wagons is introducing a first of its kind all-purpose electric utility wagon. The SC1 by Lug Wagons packs 700 watts of power into two hub motors on a patent pending t-slot deck. The SC1 also provides 110 Volt AC power and two USB ports at the ready for charging phones or powering gear. 

Marketed as a do anything, go anywhere workhorse that can lug up to 500 lbs and has a range of more than 15 miles on a single charge, the SC1 is geared more towards farm, utility, and commercial uses but has plenty of appeal to those hauling around kids and beach gear. The most unique aspect of the Lug Wagons SC1 is the patent pending t-slot deck which allows it to be configured and customized for each user’s own unique needs. 

Lug Wagons is launching its pre-order campaign via Kickstarter now and hopes to start delivering units by early next year with a price point between $1,300 and $2,000 depending on options and accessories.

Rossignol 

Following the launch of recent Spring/Summer collections including technical clothing, mountain bikes, and hiking footwear, Rossignol is announcing its first trail-running collection for 2025, spearheaded by the unveiling of its flagship trail run shoe, the Vezor.

Representing the culmination of three years of R&D work and in-depth field testing, the Vezor has been thoughtfully designed with a perfect balance of precision, grip, and propulsive performance to carry committed trail runners across the most rugged and technical terrain. The lightweight, stable, and altogether fast shoe is ideal for medium-distance races, in both training and competition.

Garmin

Garmin announced Enduro™ 3, its next-gen ultraperformance GPS smartwatch that is lighter than ever and can last for longer than the previous model thanks to a solar charging display. Built for the longest races, Enduro 3 weighs just 63 grams and features up to 320 hours in GPS mode with solar charging – all with an always-on display. And with premium training and navigation tools like dynamic round-trip routing, trail run VO2 max insights, grade-adjusted pace, and preloaded TopoActive maps, Enduro 3 is ready to help guide the next adventure.

Battery Life

Featuring industry-leading solar battery life, Enduro 3 lets athletes run even longer. The larger, more efficient solar lens provides more than double the solar power of the previous Enduro model, resulting in up to 320 hours of battery life in GPS mode or up to 90 days of battery life in smartwatch mode.

• Built-in LED flashlight: Quickly control the flashlight’s brightness right from the display. Variable intensities, a red light and strobe mode can help provide greater awareness in dark environments – like during all-day races, when searching for a lost toy under the couch, while reading a menu at a dimly-lit restaurant and more.
• Trail ready: Take advantage of trail run VO2 max insights, grade-adjusted pace and NextFork™ Map Guides during the next trail run or race.
• Enhanced navigation: Set a target destination for a run, hike or bike ride and receive dynamic round-trip routing that continually adjusts the route to stay on schedule. Additionally, view terrain contours on TopoActive maps and access preloaded maps for thousands of golf courses and ski resorts around the world.
• Advanced strength training: Elevate performance with targeted, 4-6-week strength training plans to help meet personal goals, plus sport-specific workouts for various activities and built-in apps tailored for runners, cyclists, hikers and more.
