As VICE’s staff tech writer, Matt Jancer brings firsthand expertise to fast-moving categories like electric bikes, audio gear, and artificial intelligence. Prior to his work at VICE, Matt spent more than 15 years covering technology, with bylines across more than 20 publications including WIRED, Popular Science, Popular Mechanics, and Men’s Journal. Based in New York City, he’s reported on everything from electric vehicles and motorcycles to outdoor gear and the ever-evolving world of consumer tech. When he’s not producing content in the name of service journalism, he’s writing for enjoyment, riding his motorcycle, and mountain climbing out West. He believes everyone needs at least one hobby they have none of their ego invested into, and so guitar noises and the scents of cooking have been known to emanate from his apartment. Oh yeah, and he thinks pigeons are way underrated.
