Tested: Anker SOLIX C1000 Gen 2 portable power station brings ample support in a smaller and lighter unit

A power outlet on a table

Anker is hands-down one of the most well-known tech accessory brands with an extensive lineup of consumer electronics, and its SOLIX sub-brand has been solidifying itself in the portable backup power solution space for some time now. Its C1000 power station made big waves when it first hit the market in 2023, quickly becoming a popular charging solution for camping and other outdoor activities, in particular. Now, two years later, the Anker has introduced its SOLIX C1000 Gen 2 Portable Power Station, which I was lucky enough to snag and test out, and which I believe will outshine its predecessor in the long run.

A motorcycle parked in a grassy area

When it comes to e-bikes, most people’s immediate thought is a commuter model designed to get you through streets to your various destinations, but with Ride1Up’s Revv1 DRT e-bike, the fun is extended (and primarily focused) to off-road adventures, and boy, does this baby have some go in it. It’s been over two years since we reviewed the Revv1 FS counterpart, which we came away quite impressed with its SUPER73-like design.

I have used a few dash cams before, but Viofo’s latest flagship really caught my eye because it goes a step beyond the usual font-and-rear setup.

I don’t consider myself a hardcore “dash cam enthusiast” but I do care about reliable video protection and clear footage. So I was very curious to see how Viofo’s newest camera setup really performs.
