REF Urban Boost modular bicycle, £2,700
The “right to repair” movement has been lobbying big tech for years to let us disassemble devices and replace parts. Apple, for one, pushes back by pointing out that the more repairable it makes it, the less secure and safe it is. This is similarly true in the world of cycling, but French brand REF has pursued its vision of a greener, modular, locally made bike whose parts can be replaced without harming the stiffness of the frame. The Urban Boost is its bestselling model, precisely configurable and capable of transforming from a commuter bike to a long-tail bike over the course of its lifetime.
