We spotted a deal on the METAKOO Cybertrack 100 E-bike for $739.99 shipped via the ECOOL SPORT STORE on Amazon. Simply clip the on-page coupon to redeem the discounted price. For comparison, it normally goes for $800 and today’s deal is the first discount that we’ve tracked.

Whether you’re wanting to ditch traffic and gas for your morning commute or just enjoy being outdoors, riding around on an e-bike is a great option. Since it’s battery-powered, it can be recharged with renewable energy like solar panels should your home have that. Plus, there’s no noise, gas, or oil to deal with here. In fact, maintenance is quite low overall, with the only thing that you have to keep tabs on is the gears and tire pressure. Not sure if this is the right e-bike deal for you? Micah went in-depth with it in our hands-on review, helping you to make an informed decision. It’s also rated 4.5/5 stars and is a #1 best-seller on Amazon.

Taking an e-bike to the store not only helps you, but also helps the environment

As mentioned above, riding an e-bike can cut down on fossil fuel usage, like gas and oil. It also lets you sidestep traffic and is a lot quieter than traditional transportation methods. But that’s not the only way that it saves. In all, being able to charge your e-bike from renewable energy sources helps to cut down on your carbon footprint. For shorter trips, it’s much more economical to take an e-bike instead of a car. You can travel paths that aren’t as crowded, which can help you arrive to your destination sooner. Plus, with today’s deal, the pedal assist feature will let you do some of the work while the bike itself does some of the heavy lifting, which means that you’re getting a workout without possibly burning out. If your commute is short enough to use an e-bike, it’s well worth it to pick one up and keep extra cash in your pocket, reduce emissions, and get some exercise in at the same time.

US actor who voiced Master Splinter in original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles series dies

US voice actor Peter Renaday, best known for his role as Master Splinter in the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles series, has died aged 89.

His former Ninja Turtles castmate Townsend Coleman, who voiced Michelangelo in the show, confirmed the news in a post on the X social media platform on Tuesday.

Renaday voiced Master Splinter, a wise and stoic mutant rat who was the turtles’ adoptive half-father and martial arts teacher, between 1987 and 1996.

Police carried out a welfare check at the voice actor’s home in Burbank, California, on Sunday and found him dead inside, according to TMZ.

His niece Mindy Zachary told the celebrity news site that his air conditioning had been out and his home had been hot due to a recent heatwave in California.

She added that his cause of death has not been confirmed but the family feels it does not need further investigation.

Coleman, 70, said he was “devastated” by the the death of our “dear sensei” – a term the ninja turtles would sometimes use to refer to Master Splinter.

He continued: “Pete was one of the most genuine, salt of the earth people I have ever known and I will miss him dearly. I had the privilege of visiting with him a month ago and he was as vibrant as ever, at 89 just as endearingly silly, smart and talented as I’ve always known him to be.

“Ugh, this is hard… a Disney legend and our dear Master Splinter – rest well, my sweet friend.”

Renaday also voiced Abraham Lincoln in The Hall Of Presidents – a major attraction at Walt Disney World in Florida.

He also had minor roles in a 1992 animated series of Batman and the Sylvester and Tweety Mysteries between 1995 and 1999.
