2021 Consumer Guide: How to Reinvent Yourself


Adaptive products and adaptive lifestyles go hand in hand. Our annual Consumer Guide shows you the tech — and the techniques — for living fully on wheels.

To inspire you and to personalize our consumer guide, we broke down our annual product listings into seven categories and asked a peer from our community to helm each section.  Think of them as guides to the Consumer Guide.

Technology

The smarter technology gets, the more overwhelming it is. But the right products and setups put you back in control of your home and hobbies. Mike Franz offers some choices to get you started.

Sometimes the most useful gadget is also the simplest one with the least moving parts. Engineer Stefan Henry shares his strategies for finding the best tools to make everyday life smoother and more enjoyable.

Fitness
