ART & SOUL: Hamptons, a Summer Festival of Arts & Culture Returns for it’s 3rd Year, in Partnership with the SOUTHAMPTON AFRICAN AMERICAN MUSEUM and the SOUTHAMPTON ARTS CENTER

Southampton, New York Jun 11, 2024 (Issuewire.com) – Join us July 19 & 20, 2024 at ART & SOUL: Hamptons for a weekend filled with art and cultural experiences, celebrating influential and emerging BIPOC artists living in the Hamptons community and beyond. The series of experimental events will encourage people to visit Southampton to engage and connect with artists of color, as well as support art and cultural organizations who are passionate about diversity in the arts. Curated experiences include an art walk, culinary experience, film screening, live music and entertainment, a cocktail party, and more.

ART & SOUL: Hamptons will kick off on July 19th at the Southampton Arts Center — a hub that is helping to strengthen arts and culture for the entire community. Featured artists include Art Sims and Reynoir Lewis. A culinary tasting will be presented by the Black Culinary Expo featuring Chef Sandy Pierre, Chef Osei Blackett, and Chef Ronica Copes. New England Sweetwater will host a sipping experience and educate guests about their spirits and cocktails, handcrafted in New Hampshire at their family-owned distillery. To enhance the Hamptons experience, there will be champagne toasts, live music, beauty and lifestyle activations, and a wellness lounge. The evening will end with ‘Art After Dark’, after party hosted in the sculpture garden.

On July 20th, Jeremy Dennis will host a private guided museum tour of Ma’s House & BIPOC Art Studio where guests will learn about the history, culture, and contributions by the Native American Shinnecock Tribe. Following the art tour, visitors are encouraged to participate in the ‘Art Walk’ happening in Southampton – the art hub of the Hamptons, where they can view artwork by the artists in residency.

The first stop will be at the Southampton African American Museum (SAAM), founded by Brenda Simmons. “I’m proud to say this is SAAM’s 3rd year partnering with ART & SOUL: Hamptons. They have been profoundly instrumental in inviting, enlightening, and engaging visitors from near and far to the Hamptons, who are discovering the rich history of art and culture contributed by the BIPOC community”, says Simmons. Artist Alvin Clayton’s latest art collection premieres at SAAM on July 20th.

The second stop will be at the Southampton Arts Center, featuring artwork by various artists participating in the ‘Beyond The Streets: Post Graffiti’ art exhibition. Southampton Art Center’s mission is building community through the Arts, and we are delighted to once again collaborate with ART & SOUL: Hamptons and our neighbors at SAAM and Ma’s House to welcome all to the center and engage with us!” says Strassfield.

The third and final stop of the art walk will be at Hidden Gem NY, a home decor and lifestyle boutique owned by sisters Tanya Willock and Temidra Willock-Morsch. After visiting the vibrant art organizations in Southampton, a private brunch will be co-hosted by Brown Skin Brunchin’.

The festival wraps up with an opening reception to celebrate artist Alvin Clayton‘s residency at the Southampton African American Museum, which is available for viewing through October 2024. Guests will enjoy an interactive digital experience, live music and entertainment, soul food and Caribbean bites, and Caribbean-inspired cocktails sponsored by New England Sweetwater. A screening of ‘CROWN’, a short film that celebrates Black hair, will be presented by co-writer/co-director Karisma Jay.

Kingbull Hunter 2.0S: Upgraded 750W Long-Range Fat-Tire E-Bike Now Only $899 Spring Sale Price

Published

on

Kingbull has launched the Kingbull Hunter 2.0S, an upgraded evolution of its established Hunter 2.0 platform, combining extended battery capacity, enhanced electronic control features, and improved rider visibility at a spring promotional price of $899. Positioned within the value-focused segment of the fat-tire electric mountain bike category, the Hunter 2.0S builds upon the original model’s all-terrain foundation while introducing targeted refinements designed for longer rides and improved urban usability.

Larger 48V 18Ah Battery, Added Cruise Control, and Integrated Turn Signals

The most notable upgrade in the Hunter 2.0S is its 48V 18Ah lithium battery system, increasing total energy capacity over the previous generation and positioning the model for extended-distance commuting and recreational riding. While real-world range varies depending on terrain, rider weight, assist level, and riding style, the higher-capacity configuration is engineered to reduce charging frequency and support longer continuous outings. Charging is supported via a 54.6V 2A charger.

The Hunter 2.0S also introduces an integrated cruise control function. When the throttle is held steadily for approximately 10 seconds, the system maintains consistent speed without continued throttle engagement, helping reduce rider fatigue during longer, uninterrupted stretches of riding.

Additionally, integrated turn signals have been added to enhance visibility and communication in traffic environments. This refinement improves the bike’s practicality for urban commuting while maintaining its off-road versatility.

 

750W Rear Hub Motor with Multi-Level Speed Control

Power delivery is managed by a 48V 750W spoked rear hub motor integrated into a 26-inch wheel platform. Riders can select from five calibrated pedal-assist levels—6, 9, 16, 22, and 28 mph—allowing adaptable output across varying terrain and road conditions.

A throttle provides on-demand acceleration, and the system’s left-mounted 12-magnet dual Hall pedal assist sensor ensures responsive engagement during pedaling.

Ride data is displayed through a center-mounted color LCD interface designed for clear visibility in varying light conditions.

A Shimano 7-speed drivetrain provides mechanical gear selection across varying gradients.

Hydraulic disc brakes with integrated motor cutoff are installed on both sides. When braking is applied, motor output is immediately disengaged to enhance operational control.

The integrated lighting system includes a front headlight with a horn and a rear running light with brake light function, controlled through a 2-in-1 handlebar switch. 

26” × 4.0 Fat Tires for Multi-Surface Stability

The Hunter 2.0S utilizes 26” × 4.0 CST snow-rated tires engineered to increase surface contact across unstable terrain. The wide-profile configuration supports traction on snow, sand, gravel, and loose dirt while contributing to stability during cargo use.

Suspension, Drivetrain, and Integrated Safety Systems

Front suspension is provided by a 26-inch suspension fork with an aluminum crown and a mechanical lockout function. The lockout mechanism allows riders to reduce fork compression when transitioning to paved roads, improving pedaling efficiency.

 

Frame Structure and Utility Integration

The Hunter 2.0S is constructed on a high-carbon steel frame compatible with 26” × 4.0” tire geometry. The structural design emphasizes durability and load stability for everyday commuting and light cargo applications.

A high-carbon steel rear cargo rack is included as standard equipment, expanding practical utility for transport needs.

With a net weight of approximately 77 lbs and a gross shipping weight of approximately 99 lbs, the Hunter 2.0S balances robust construction with manageable handling within the fat-tire category.

About KingbullBike

Kingbull is a well-known brand in the fat-tire e-bike space, dedicated to building electric bikes that perform as confidently in daily city commuting as they do on rugged trails and mountain e-bike adventures.

All Kingbull bikes feature 4-inch fat tires and suspension systems designed to handle a wide variety of terrain comfortably. The Forge Series stands out with premium build quality and high-end components from established brands such as Samsung, Tektro, and BAFANG.

With prices starting at $789, the lineup includes folding, commuter, full-suspension, and cargo models designed to accommodate different rider needs. To date, more than 20,000 riders have chosen Kingbull products. The brand has received over 3,180 customer reviews, maintaining an average rating of 4.89 out of 5.0.

Industry Disruption – IKAPE Unveils K2 PRO Defining Professional Standards for the Mobile Cafe

Published

on

As the global home appliance market shifts toward professional-grade portability, IKAPE officially launches the K2 PRO Portable Espresso Machine. Featuring 58mm commercial basket compatibility, 20-bar constant pressure and smart app integration, the K2 PRO fills a critical gap for high-quality Espresso in outdoor and travel settings.

IKAPE, a leading innovator in premium coffee equipment, has announced the global release of its flagship K2 PRO Portable Espresso Machine. In a market saturated with standard home appliances, consumers are increasingly gravitating toward “Extravagant Camping” and “High-Performance Mobile Office” gear. The K2 PRO represents a quantum leap in portable performance, challenging the dominance of traditional countertop machines.

Market Insight: The “Professional Decentralization” of Home Appliances

In 2026, the global small appliance market is witnessing a profound shift toward “scenario-agnostic” utility. Market research indicates that over 60% of coffee consumers are no longer satisfied with brewing exclusively in their kitchens. With the rise of the Digital Nomad culture, demand for Portable Espresso Machines is surging at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7%.

However, traditional portable devices often compromise on pressure stability and basket size. “Coffee lovers have long endured ‘compromised coffee’ while traveling,” stated the founder of IKAPE. “The K2 PRO’s mission is to shatter the stereotypes of ‘insufficient pressure’ and ‘uneven extraction’ associated with portable gear, truly delivering a professional cafe in users’ pocket.”

IKAPE K2 PRO: Three Core Technical Breakthroughs

  1. Industry-First 58mm Commercial Compatibility
    Most portable machines utilize proprietary small-diameter baskets, which result in excessive puck height and “channeling.” The IKAPE K2 PRO’s primary breakthrough is its full compatibility with 58mm standard commercial baskets. This allows users to utilize professional-grade distributors and tampers. The wider, shallower puck ensures uniform water distribution, resulting in a balanced extraction with the rich crema typically reserved for commercial machines.
  2. 20-Bar Intelligent Constant Pressure & Pre-Infusion
    Equipped with a new generation of micro-pump technology, the K2 PRO delivers a stable 20-bar output. Crucially, it features a Smart Pre-infusion cycle (3–5 seconds). By saturating the coffee puck at low pressure before full extraction, it prevents “spurting” and ensures a consistent, high-TDS (Total Dissolved Solids) yield in every shot.
  3. 13500mAh Endurance & Smart Ecosystem Integration
    Addressing the pain points of outdoor power, the K2 PRO houses a 13500mAh automotive-grade lithium battery, supporting rapid heating from cold water. Through the Happygo Cera Bluetooth App, users can precisely calibrate extraction temperature and duration, and even customize extraction curves. This fusion of hardware and software targets the growing “Smart Home Appliance” preference among Gen Z and Millennial hobbyists.

Solving Scenarios: A Borderless Specialty Coffee Experience

The design logic of the IKAPE K2 PRO is rooted in “Borderless Living”:

Outdoor Enthusiasts: At altitudes of 4,000 meters, the K2 PRO can heat water to 92°C (197.6°F) and complete extraction in minutes.

Business Travelers: Replace mediocre hotel pod machines. Weighing just 0.82kg, the K2 PRO is the essential “coffee companion” for the modern professional.

Urban Space Optimization: For metropolitan dwellers with limited counter space, the K2 PRO provides a compact alternative to bulky semi-automatics without sacrificing shot quality.

About IKAPE

IKAPE is a pioneer in high-end manual and portable electric coffee maker equipment and coffee accessories. Merging “Extreme Parameters” with “Minimalist Aesthetics,” IKAPE is dedicated to providing global coffee geeks with professional, full-link extraction solutions.
