QuietKat’s Lynx e-bike matches stylish form with 63-mile range function
We’ve seen tons of e-bike deals in the week building up to Cyber Monday, but the QuietKat Lynx still manages to stand out with its motorbike design. It’s also now on sale at Best Buy, dropping the e-bike down to $3,599.10 shipped. This is $400 off the usual $3,999 price tag and marks one of the first chances to save. There’s also something extra for my Best Buy members, as paid subscribers can lock in an additional $400 in savings to drop the price to an even lower $3,199 all-time low. We previously took a look at what to expect from the Lynx over at Electrek.
If your average e-bike just isn’t cool enough for you to make the switch to something more environmentally-friendly, the QuietKat’s Lynx should challenge that notion with a motorbike-style design. There’s a full-suspension frame that steals the show, as well as heftier treads than your usual commuter alternative. Form factor aside, it features some pretty impressive specs, like a 63-mile range with 28 MPH top speeds. The Class 3 e-bike has a 1,000W mid-drive motor with a Tektro two-piston hydraulic disc brake display. An integrated headlight means you can ride in low-light conditions, and the different modes ensure you can traverse more than just city streets.

Cyber Monday deals have arrived, with Amazon taking up to 30% off Gotrax’s line of electric scooters, hoverboards, and e-bikes.

Down from its regular $850 price tag, this scooter has only dropped as low as $719 with previous discounts. Today’s deal gives you $171 in savings off the going rate and marks a new all-time low. You can head below to learn more about this scooter, as well as browse our rundown of the best Gotrax deals for this annual event.
The Eclipse Ultra is centered around a 48V battery and 500W motor that can reach speeds of 20 MPH with its two gear options, as well as carry you up to 32 miles on a single charge. Comfort and stability are provided by the equipped 10-inch pneumatic tires alongside the front and rear dual suspension. Its front and rear double disc brake lever, in combination with its EABS brake, ensures the riders’ safety. Likewise, its bright front headlights and flashing red taillights when braking ensure a safer ride at night. This model also includes an electric code lock to protect the scooter from theft, as well as a rear shelf to store helmets, packages, shopping items, backpacks, and more.

BYD claims its new EV supercar has “the world’s strongest horsepower” after showing it off for the first time. The Yangwang U9 02 test car packs nearly 3,000 hp, and it’s coming for Ferrari.
Meet the 3,000 hp BYD Yangwang U9 02 EV supercar
China’s EV leader is at it again. In a trailer that resembled a promotional video for a new Fast and Furious movie, BYD unveiled the new Yangwang U9 02 for the first time.
BYD boasted its new Yangwang EV supercar has “the world’s strongest horsepower of over 3,000 Ps,” or just under 3,000 hp.
The trailer builds hype as the garage doors slowly rise, unveiling the Yangwang U9 with a white “02” badge on the hood. From the back, you can see the test car is designed for maximum performance with vortex generators, a small lip spoiler, and other added elements for better aerodynamics.
BYD is keeping most details secret for now, but we do know it’s looking to break another global record. The video was accompanied by the caption “#GlobalElectricCarSpeedNewRecord.”
By chasing speed, we discovered possibility. By building our dream, we became fearless.
Stay tuned for the pursuit beyond #ThePursuitBeyond
#YANGWANG #U9X pic.twitter.com/9mQPXZ4bdH— BYD (@BYDCompany) September 16, 2025
The new test car comes after BYD announced the Yangwang U9 Track Edition model set a new global speed record for electric vehicles just last month, after hitting a ridiculous 472.41 km/h, or around 293 mph.
After the milestone, BYD said it was “the first time a Chinese domestic brand achieved a world record in this field.” Now, it looks like BYD is gunning for even more.
The Yangwang U9 Track Edition features the world’s first mass-produced 1,200V ultra-high-volt platform. It uses the same e4 platform and DiSus-X architecture, enabling it to “dance” and jump over obstacles.
BYD said its quad-motor system is the first in the world rated at 30,000 rpm, delivering a combined output of over 3,000 PS (2,959 hp).
With a power-to-weight ratio of 1,217 PS per tonne, the Yangwang U9 Track Edition outmuscles most hypercars today.
We should learn more about the Yangwang U9 02 soon. Check back for an official launch date, final specs, and pricing.
The Yangwang U9 starts at just 1,680,000 yuan in China, or around $233,000. Although it may sound pricey compared to most of BYD’s low-cost EVs, the EV supercar is still about half the price of a Ferrari SF90 Stradale. Not only is it faster, it’s also much more advanced, packing BYD’s highest level technology and software.

Fully autonomous technology developer Waymo announced a new partnership with rideshare network Lyft to offer driverless robotaxi rides to customers in Nashville, Tennessee.
As promised, robotaxi developer Waymo is expanding its Waymo One service to more and more cities around the US. Before today’s expansion news to Nashville, Waymo already operated autonomous vehicles in cities like Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Phoenix.
During a $5.6 billion Series C funding announcement in 2024, the mobility company detailed plans to expand Waymo-One rideshare services to additional US cities, including Miami, Florida, Austin, Texas, and Atlanta, Georgia, in 2025 through an ongoing partnership with Uber.
Most recently, Waymo announced additional expansion plans in Dallas through a new partnership with Avis, which will handle fleet maintenance in the region. Today, Waymo has confirmed yet another partner in Lyft, which will assist in offering riders in Nashville convenient robotaxi rides
Lyft to begin Waymo robotaxi rides in Nashville next year
This morning, both Lyft and Waymo published press releases outlining their new partnership, which will enable public robotaxi rides around the musical streets of Nashville as early as next year. Waymo co-CEO Tekedra Mawakana spoke about the new partnership:
We’re delighted to partner with Lyft and launch in Nashville next year, as we continue to scale our Waymo ride-hailing service to more people in more places. Lyft’s extensive fleet management capabilities through Flexdrive make them an ideal partner for expanding to Nashville. We can’t wait to introduce Music City’s residents and visitors to the convenient, consistent, safe, and magical Waymo experience.
To begin, Waymo says it intends to begin deploying its robotaxi vehicles in Music City in the coming months. From there, public rides will start with the help of Lyft’s fleet management subsidiary, Flexdrive. Per Waymo, Nashville riders will initially be able to hail a robotaxi from the company’s app, which will eventually expand to the Lyft app. Lyft CEO David Risher also commented:
This partnership brings together best-in-class autonomous vehicles with best-in-class customer experience. Waymo has proven that its autonomous technology works at scale. When combined with Lyft’s customer-obsession and world-class fleet management capabilities, it’s two great tastes that go great together.
Watch for the Waymo One robotaxis around Nashville in the coming months!
