Rip around the track on Razor’s electric dirt bike

Amazon is offering the Razor MX650 Electric Dirt Bike for $449.99 shipped. This electric dirt bike has gone for $500 over the past month or so. Today’s deal actually comes in at the best price in well over a year, and delivers an additional $50 savings against the previous 12-month low. This compact electric dirt bike features a 650W motor that uses no gas or oil to function. The battery will last for up to 40 minutes of riding before it’s time to head back home and plug it in.

On Razor’s electric dirt bike, you’ll find a 16-inch wheel up front and a 14-inch wheel in the back, which gives an authentic dirt bike frame geometry. On top of that, you’ll be able to ride at up to 17 MPH, which is plenty of speed for ripping down trails and having a good time outside. There’s a 220 pound weight limit and you’ll need to charge the battery at least once a month, so do keep that in mind. But, if you’re looking for a fun way to get outside and enjoy the sunshine this spring and summer, Razor’s electric dirt bike is a great way to do just that.

Sun Joe’s SPX3001 2030 PSI Electric Pressure Washer includes hose spool at $129 (Save 23%)

Amazon is currently offering the Sun Joe SPX3001 2,030 PSI Electric Pressure Washer with Hose Reel for $129 shipped. Normally going for $167, this 23% discount or solid $38 price drop marks a return to the 2023 low price we’ve seen so far. This deal also comes within $8 of the all-time low we’ve seen over the past year. Coming with an adjustable spray wand, this pressure washer can output a maximum of 2,030PSI and up to 1.76 GPM to break through the caked-on dirt and grim on your house or sidewalks. The onboard reel will help keep the included 20-foot high-pressure hose organized while the washer is in storage. The pressure washer also uses Sun Joe’s Total Stop System to shut off the pump when the trigger is not engaged to prolong its life while saving energy too. As previously mentioned, you’ll have 20 feet of high-pressure hose and a 35-foot power cord which will allow you to clean those hard-to-reach areas.

Get ready for camping season with these portable solar panels

ALLPOWERS’ official Amazon storefront is offering a 2-pack of its 200W Portable Solar Panels for $499.99 shipped. Normally $570 at Amazon, this $70 discount marks a return to the all-time low that we’ve tracked. In fact, this is the first time that we’ve seen it at this price since June of last year. Designed to mount to the top of your RV, trailer, or shed, these two solar panels are perfect for providing off-grid electricity. Each one can output with MC-4 to Anderson or MC-4 to DC which allows you to plug them into a charge controller and run batteries or other AC devices.

These two 200W solar panels are IP66 waterproof which means that they can be mounted in the elements without you worrying that they’ll get damaged. Since the panels are portable, they can also be deployed directly on the ground when camping and plugged straight into portable power stations to recharge them with nothing but the sun’s rays. This makes today’s deal ideal for those who go camping as it’s perfect for staying off-grid longer than a few days while still enjoying some creature comforts like charging your phone, using some small household appliances, and more.

Meet the Mercedes-Benz ELF: A mobile EV charging rig built for megawatt power

Mercedes-Benz introduced an all-in-one mobile EV charging machine, “ELF,” that promises to unlock charging speeds as quick as filling up at the pump.

Mercedes-Benz unveils the ELF mobile EV charging van

It may look like an electric van, but Mercedes-Benz claims ELF is much more than just any ordinary vehicle. It’s “a symbol of a bold new era in charging,” the luxury brand said on Thursday.

The nickname comes from the German term Experimental-Lade-Fahrzeug (ELF), which translates to Experimental Charging Vehicle.

The Mercedes-Benz ELF is an all-in-one mobile EV powerhouse that combines ultra-fast, bidirectional, inductive, and conductive charging. It’s based on the Mercedes V-Class people carrier and is equipped with five unique charging ports.

It will act as a rolling test lab, promising to unlock faster, more convenient, and sustainable electric vehicle charging.

The ELF features two fast charging systems: A standard Combined Charging System (CCS) and a heavy-duty Megawatt Charging System (MCS).

Mercedes is “testing the limits of CCS,” claiming the ELF can achieve a charging capacity of up to 900 kW, or enough to add 100 kWh in about 10 minutes. The MCS system, on the other hand, was initially developed for heavy-duty electric trucks, which Mercedes says unlocks charging capacities in the megawatt range.

The company is already using the all-in-one mobile EV charging rig to improve charging on its upcoming vehicles.

For example, the Concept AMG GT XX hit a peak charging power of 1,041 kW during megawatt charging after its record-breaking run in Nardò in August.

Mercedes collaborated with Alpitronic to develop a high-performance EV charging station capable of delivering up to 1,000 amps through a modified CCS commercial truck charger. The company is now using what it has learned to develop a new generation of ultra-fast chargers for use at Mercedes-Benz parks.

According to Mercedes, the new chargers will deliver speeds “that differ only minimally from the conventional refuelling process.”

The ELF is not only capable of absorbing electricity, but Mercedes-Benz is using it to its full potential with bidirectional charging capabilities.

Capable of both AC and DC bidirectional charging, the ELF can feed energy into your home (Vehicle-to-Home/ V2H), the grid (Vehicle-to-Grid/ V2G), or electric devices (Vehicle-to-Load/ V2L).

Mercedes said a typical vehicle battery with a capacity of 70-100 kWh can power an average single-family home for two to four days.

The new electric CLA and GLC with EQ Technology are the first Mercedes vehicles that offer bidirectional charging capabilities. In 2026, the automaker will launch its first services for bidirectional charging in Germany, France, and the UK. Other markets are set to follow shortly after.

In combination with intelligent energy management, Mercedes said electricity costs can be significantly reduced. Depending on energy use, homeowners can save about 500 euros ($580) per year.

Mercedes-Benz is also using the ELF to test other charging methods, including cable-free induction and automated conductive charging.

The learnings from the ELF will be key to unlocking faster, more convenient, and sustainable charging for upcoming Mercedes-Benz EV models.

Rare earths stocks surge after China tightens grip on global supplies

Rare earths stocks surge after China tightens grip on global supplies

USA Rare Earth CEO: We are in close communication with White House

Shares of U.S. rare earth and critical mineral miners surged Thursday after China tightened restrictions on exports, fuelling market speculation that the Trump administration will move more aggressively to invest in building out a domestic supply chain.

Ramaco Resources soared 12%, Energy Fuels surged nearly 8%, USA Rare Earth jumped more than 7%, and MP Materials rallied more than 6%. Lithium Americas popped more than 4% and Trilogy Metals rose more than 6%.

Beijing is now requiring foreign entities to obtain a license to export products that contain more than 0.1% of domestically sourced rare earths, according to China’s Ministry of Commerce. Companies will also need export licenses if they use China’s extraction, refining or magnet recycling technology.

“The White House and relevant agencies are closely assessing any impact from the new rules, which were announced without any notice and imposed in an apparent effort to exert control over the entire world’s technology supply chains,” a White House official told CNBC.

China imposed the restrictions ahead of an expected meeting between President Xi Jinping and President Donald Trump on the sidelines of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit in Seoul, South Korea later this month. Rare earths have been a major point of contention in trade talks between Beijing and Washington.

‘Game of chicken’

The White House and the U.S. critical mineral industry have accused China of manipulating the market to drive foreign competition out of business. Rare earths are a subset of critical minerals that are crucial inputs for U.S. weapons platforms, robotics, electric vehicles and electronics among other applications.

The Trump administration has taken equity stakes in MP Materials, Lithium Americas and Trilogy Metals this year as it seeks to stand up a domestic supply chain against China.

Trump administration has shown 'incredible courage' in their approach to critical minerals: NioCorp

USA Rare Earth and Energy Fuels have not struck deals with the White House, but their CEOs told CNBC that they are in close contact with the Trump administration.

“It’s going to take a lot of players to build out this marketplace,” USA Rare Earth CEO Barbara Humpton told CNBC on Oct. 2.

China’s export restrictions “help to ensure a strong position for Xi to sit down with Trump” on the sidlines of the summit in South Korea, Evercore ISI analyst Neo Wang told clients in a Thursday note.

“Although both Beijing and Washington learnt the lesson the hard way in their last exchange of export controls back in [April] and May, China’s stronger pain endurance rooted in its political system adds to the credibility of its threats in a game of chicken,” Wang wrote.

Cool new device does for electrified walking what e-bikes did for cycling

Cool new device does for electrified walking what e-bikes did for cycling

Move over, e-bikes – there’s a new way to get a power boost for cruising around town, and this one straps right to your legs. The Hypershell X Ultra is a high-tech wearable exoskeleton that delivers up to 1,000 watts of electric assist to your stride, giving “powered walking” the same kind of jolt that e-bikes gave to cycling.

The company behind it, Shanghai-based Hypershell, says the X Ultra is its most advanced performance exoskeleton yet, designed for hikers, runners, climbers, and even skiers who want to go farther and faster without wearing out their legs.

The new model uses a 1,000W “M-One Ultra” motor, around 25% more powerful than before, along with upgraded thermal management and improved energy efficiency. To put that in perspective, the US limits street-legal e-bikes to 750 watts of power, while the EU caps them at just 250 watts. That means this wearable device technically delivers more power to your legs than most legal e-bikes deliver to their wheels.

According to Hypershell, the X Ultra can reduce muscle load on the hips by up to 63%, lower heart rate by as much as 42% while cycling, and even cut oxygen consumption by nearly 40%. The system intelligently adapts to your movement using AI-powered gait mapping and offers 12 activity modes, including new ones for running, snow, and sand, that automatically adjust power delivery depending on terrain and intensity.

Despite all the electronics, it’s surprisingly lightweight. The X Ultra uses titanium alloy and carbon fiber construction to keep the system at just 1.8 kg (4 lb), plus a 410 g (0.9 lb) battery pack. That 72Wh battery claims to deliver up to 65 km (40 miles) of assist when cycling or 30 km (18 miles) when walking, and the system can even regenerate energy on downhills for up to 10% extra range.

With a top speed of 25 km/h (15.5 mph), the $1,999 X Ultra is pricey, but could early adopters help it still kick off a new category of electric mobility where people are the vehicle? Let’s hear your thoughts in the comments section below.
