There are some big changes set to happen at Peloton in a bid to turnaround the company following a fall in shares over the last year. One of those is the [addition of a rowing machine](. Why does it matter? The company already confirmed it was working on a rower to join its Bike, Bike+ and Tread equipment, now its CEO has suggested it'll be launched later this year, What's my take? Peloton was one of the beneficiaries of the numerous pandemic lockdowns around the world - home fitness boomed and therefore so did the connected fitness firm. However, as people drifted back to the workplace and away from home-working, the call for dedicated personal fitness equipment waned. And thus, Peloton's share value has dipped. It has forced the company to seek alternative means of income - such as a new rowing machine - while also trimming its workforce. There is also the suggestion that it will allow third-party equipment to connect to the Peloton mobile app, in order to expand its subscription base. Certainly, Peloton is in a period of change, which could end up seeing it attract a wider audience once more. Save for another lockdown (God forbid), that's likely its most sensible course of action. Raleigh Trace is its lightest eBike yet RALEIGH What's happened? Raleigh has taken the wraps off its [latest eBike, the Trace]( revealing an impressively slim silhouette and a design that could fairly easily pass for a regular bike. Why does it matter? For an eBike, it's impressively light at 16.5kg, which makes it Raleigh's lightest electric model, albeit one that will still be a little bit of a hassle to carry up a flight of stairs. What's my take? This is, for me, an essential move when it comes to eBikes. On the whole, they have been too cumbersome and heavy for general use, There's also something about the design of electric transport that has irked me for a while. Manufacturers of eBikes and EVs have largely imagined that, by adding electrification, they also need to make their vehicles futuristic and sci-fi looking - with sharp angles and neon paintwork. Personally, I'd just like a normal-looking car or bike with electric power please - not something from the Jetsons. This, therefore, is heading in the right direction.

Razer has taken one of its most popular gaming mice and stripped out the weight while adding some serious specs under the hood. But, is it worth the hefty asking price? Our quick verdict All told, we have a lot of good things to say about the Viper V2 Pro. It is a lot of money when you consider the features that have been shed, but it's also a great mouse with high-end specs that pro gamers will appreciate. It's slick, agile and responsive, with lots of redeeming qualities. [Read our review](. In Case You Missed it It's here!
