Forget Basic Summer Tops—Scarf-Inspired Dressing Is The Season’s New Staple

The rest of the accessory line focuses on storage. These include a cool in-frame rack, front and rear racks and boxes, and, for the beach bums, a very cool surfboard rack that mounts your board on the side of the bike.

The H/T comes with five levels of pedal assist, but I mostly used the throttle, partly because I’m lazy and partly because the pedal-assist response could be wildly inconsistent. For levels 1 through 3, the pedal assist was smooth; it just felt like a little boost to my pedaling. On levels 4 and 5, however, the bike seemed to jerk forward every time I pressed down on the pedal. It felt more like my bike was leaping forward rather than assisting, to the point that I almost wobbled off the bike the first time I tried level 5. If you’re a chronic pedaler who’s looking for a more traditional cycling experience, this may not be the bike for you.
The handling at that top speed was excellent. Thanks to the comfortable upright position and frame geometry, cruising along at 28 miles per hour felt smooth and comfortable. Turning at speed and quickly adjusting to avoid a pothole was also easy and smooth, even when I was gunning the throttle. The thrill of riding fast on the H/T comes from the exhilaration of speed, not the fear of losing control.
I appreciate that there’s no app to go along with the H/T. It makes hopping on the bike and going for a ride feel much more natural than it does with the app-controlled bikes I’ve tested. The handlebar-mounted screen is also very intuitive and easy to use, and it has a personal passcode for added security. There’s also a USB-C charging port if you decide to get a handlebar mount for your phone. The bike has a front daytime running light that automatically brightens when the sun goes down, two front and rear turn signal lights, and a brake light. The front and rear hydraulic disc brakes are responsive and have excellent stopping power.
It’s easy to customize the bike and add utility. Pedal offers a range of accessories, but my favorite is the dual battery system. This $850 system isn’t cheap, but it adds another battery to the frame, which ups the range by another 40 miles. If you’re not taking this bike on long rides, it may not be worth the expense, but I appreciated the chance to maximize its range.

Beyond skin rejuvenation, clinical studies suggest red-light therapy can help energize hair follicles, increase blood circulation in the scalp, reduce inflammation, and lower dihydrotestosterone levels—a hormone that causes hair loss and thinning. Red-light therapy also supports adenosine triphosphate (ATP) production, which helps provide oxygen and blood flow to the scalp and triggers follicles to remain in the hair-growth phase.
To determine the best red-light therapy for hair growth, I tapped five WIRED tech reviewers who’ve dealt with hair loss themselves. We assessed red-light therapy caps, hands-free helmets with full scalp coverage, and low-level laser therapy (LLLT) or photobiomodulation devices for 16 weeks. Along the way, I reviewed the research, spoke with dermatologists, and tracked ease of use. These are the favorites that produced meaningful results and earned our trust.

Updated June 2026: I’ve added the GroWell Laser Hair Growth Cap, Laduora Duo 4-in-1 Pod-Based Scalp and Hair Care Device, and the Hairmax LaserBand 82 ComfortFlex. I’ve added an FAQ section. I also updated product information, links, and prices.

CurrentBody’s LED Hair Growth Helmet is a wearable, cord-free, Bluetooth-enabled device designed to improve hair density, thickness, and overall condition. After 12 weeks, I didn’t notice a difference in hair length—I did get a haircut halfway through testing—but I did spot new follicles sprouting along my scalp and sideburn area. My hairstylist mentioned that my hair felt thicker, and I noticed less breakage and hair caught in bristles when brushing. My balding roommate also tested the CurrentBody helmet, and he noted that his hair also felt thicker and that there was new growth around the scalp.
Hair loss isn’t always dramatic. It can be incremental. You start noticing a bit more scalp in harsh bathroom lighting; a tiny bald spot when you tie your hair up in a ponytail. The shower drain is more clogged than usual. Not long ago, hair-loss treatments meant topical remedies, supplements, or a flight to Turkey. Luckily, red-light therapy brings the potential for hair regrowth into your home—no clinical appointment required.
