In the review: Joyor S5 scooter

Joyor S5 E-Scooter review - With style and high riding comfort

Full suspension. The Joyor S5 stands out. The pushed-out swingarm looks unusual and creates a special riding experience. A rough profile provides an off-road look, a long wheelbase makes room for the feet and a large battery should make long rides possible. We took the Joyor S5 for a spin.

The iconic Grand Theft Auto franchise had its inception in 1997. (Source: Steam)

GTA games ranked from most iconic to least

CheckMag Rockstar Games' Grand Theft Auto franchise is undoubtedly one of the cornerstones of modern gaming, both from a technical as well as a cultural point of view. Starting from 1997, Rockstar has produced some of the finest open-world titles in the history of computer gaming as part of this franchise. With GTA VI arriving in 2025, it's worth looking back in to the past and glossing over the most iconic entrants to the acclaimed franchise.

Cyberpunk power bank. The Shargeek 140 is the latest in Sharge's line of high-tech, high-speed power banks. The 20,000mAh accessory debuted as a crowdfunding campaign reward, and also as a hybrid of two of its OEM's earlier creations. Is the 140 more than the sum of its cyberpunk parts?
