Our tests of the week
Lapierre E-Urban 6.5: an almost perfect electric bike
If you have the budget for a high-end electric bike, the Lapierre E-Urban 6.5 might interest you. Its Bosch motor is powerful and we appreciate its great autonomy thanks to its 500 Wh battery. If we put aside the somewhat limited transmission and the front headlight which deserves to be more powerful, it is a particularly attractive and comfortable urban electric bike.

Xiaomi Mix Fold 2: a folding smartphone with a nice design
Xiaomi comes to compete with Samsung with its new folding smartphone, the Mix Fold 2. We love its particularly thin and elegant design which makes it very pleasant to look at and to handle. The two OLED screens of the device offer a nice contrast. The Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 processor provides plenty of power. Note that the software part is not yet available to us since it is reserved for the Chinese market only.

Roborock Dyad Pro: a particularly effective mop
The Roborock Dyad Pro impressed us with its build quality, cleaning efficiency, battery life and maneuverability. It is very practical and can pass very close to the walls and its microfiber rollers dry quickly. Be careful, the self-cleaning is noisy, the DirTect Smart Senso technology can still be improved on uneven floors and the “official” detergent is still a bit expensive.
