EcoFlow 24-hour flash sale takes up to $948 off power stations
It’s the final day of EcoFlow’s 15-day home backup sale, and the last of the three scheduled 24-hour flash sales that are offering up two bundle options to maximize savings and ensure your disaster preparedness. The first of today’s deals is a discount on the DELTA 2 Portable Power Station with a Smart Extra Battery and a 110W Solar Panel for $1,249 shipped. At normal rates this would cost you $2,197 to get these items bundled together, making this flash sale another rare opportunity. The power station alone is discounted to $699 while the smart extra battery is down to $599. At these reduced rates they would cost you $1,298 together, meaning you’ll save $49 with this deal ($549 at their regular prices) and get a free 110W solar panel that would run you $399 normally. All-in-all, this deal ultimately saves you $948 off the MSRP’s of all three items.
The DELTA 2 boasts a 1,024Wh capacity that can be expanded up to 3,000Wh with the inclusion of the extra battery. It is able to fully recharge in up to six hours with a 220W solar panel (so 12 hours with the 110W panel), and its IP68 waterproof rating ensures protection against water, dust, and debris while you’re out in the wilds of the world. You’ll be able to monitor and control the DELTA 2’s settings in real-time on the EcoFlow app via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. It also offers 15 port options to cover all your appliance and device charging needs: six ACs, four USB-As, two USB-Cs, and three DCs.
And if you’re looking for a power station with a slightly bigger capacity to upgrade your solar setup, you’ll also find the DELTA 1000 Portable Power Station for $549, down from $1,099. This standard model boasts a higher 1,260Wh capacity, and offers the same setting controls through the EcoFlow app as the above model. It can recharge 0 to 80% in just one hour via a standard wall outlet, in three to seven hours via three 160W solar panels, or in 13.5 hours via a car adapter. It has 13 port options for your needs: six ACs, four USB-As, two USB-Cs, and one car port.

Greenworks 1,900 PSI Electric Pressure Washer now $120
Best Buy is offering the Greenworks 1,900 PSI Electric Pressure Washer for $119.99 shipped. Down from its $200 price tag, this pressure washer spent most of 2023 riding its MSRP, with one previous discount following a price hike to a $174 high and another dropping costs to the $120 low on Amazon during Black Friday sales. Today’s deal comes in as a 40% markdown off the going rate as a return to the all-time low from November. It even beats Greenworks’ website where it is still listed for its MSRP.
Equipped with a heavy duty cast aluminum axial cam pump alongside an on-board detergent tank, this pressure washer offers a 1,900 PSI with a 1.2 GPM flow rate, and comes with several attachments to provide more versatility, letting you clean a wider selection of the surfaces around your home. It comes with 25 feet of Uberflex kink-resistant hose as well as five interchangeable nozzles: 15 degrees, 25 degrees, 40 degrees, a soap nozzle, and a turbo nozzle. It also features a Total Stop System, which automatically shuts off the pump when the trigger is not engaged, saving you energy, money, and extending your pump’s life.
The savings this week are also continuing to a collection of other markdowns. To the same tune as the offers above, these all help you take a more energy-conscious approach to your routine. Winter means you can lock in even better off-season price cuts on electric tools for the lawn while saving on EVs and tons of other gear.

Aventon is giving its popular fat tire e-bike a serious upgrade. The company just unveiled the Aventure M, a new mid-drive version of its best-selling Aventure model. With more torque, smarter shifting, and a boost in connectivity and control, Aventon says this is the “most advanced” bike it has ever produced.
The new Aventure M swaps out the rear hub motor for a 100 Nm mid-drive motor, offering more efficient power delivery and a more natural ride feel thanks to its double-sided torque sensor. And in case that 100 Nm doesn’t exactly place it for you, just know that we’re talking about more power (or more accurately, torque) than nearly any other e-bike in this class.
The Aventon A100 motor, which is rated at 750W and runs on a 36V system, takes full advantage of its Class 3 category with pedal assist speeds up to 28 mph (45 km/h) and a throttle top speed of 20 mph (32 km/h). The throttle is sold separately, probably as a nod to being even more compliant with California’s new stricter laws regarding Class 1 and Class 3 e-bikes, which can’t have mounted throttles.
Aventon also gives riders the option to set the bike to Class 1 or 2 limits using the companion app. We’ve always been pretty impressed with Aventon’s app, as it’s quite easy to use and makes it simple to control those types of modifications to the bike.

That app pairs with Aventon’s newly developed ACU (Aventon Control Unit), a custom IoT system that adds a wide range of smart features. Riders get GPS tracking, theft detection, geofencing, remote locking, and over-the-air (OTA) firmware updates. Aventon even built in a passcode-locked on-switch for added security, as well as a physical rear-wheel lock and alarm.
We’ve previously seen Aventon use that OTA update system to give its e-bike more power via a boost feature, so the company doesn’t appear shy about pushing out new features when they’re ready.
But it’s not just about motor placement and connectivity. The Aventure M introduces electronic shifting, powered by a 10-speed Shimano CUES drivetrain and paddle shifters. Riders can shift manually or let the system take over with Auto Shift, Aventon’s torque and cadence-sensing automatic shifting mode. A new Uphill Start Assist feature gives riders an extra torque boost when starting from a stop on steep grades –perfect for off-road adventures or fully loaded cargo rides.
As for range, Aventon claims up to 85 miles (137 km) from the removable 36V 20Ah (720 Wh) battery, which itself weighs around 8.7 lbs (3.9 kg). That figure is in the lowest power level, and real-world range will depend heavily on terrain and assist level, but riders can likely expect something in the 40–60 mile (65-100 km) ballpark under typical pedaling usage when enjoying moderately higher power levels, and a bit less if leaning hard into that optional throttle.
Rounding out the build are 4-inch wide fat tires, a suspension seatpost, and an 80 mm front suspension fork. The total weight of the bike is around 73 lbs (33 kg), which is actually surprisingly reasonable for a full-featured fat tire e-bike with a mid-drive, believe it or not. Hey, these are heavy bikes when you stuff all that power, range, and tech in there.
The price at launch is US $2,899, which places the Aventure M above the hub motor version of the company’s existing Aventure model but below some other mid-drive fat tire options on the market. Aventon is clearly positioning this as a higher-performance alternative that’s still (hopefully) accessible to the average rider. It’s available now online and through Aventon’s network of over 1,800 partner dealers across the U.S.
Electrek’s Take
It’s about time we saw a major direct-to-consumer brand bring a smart tech, mid-drive fat tire e-bike to market that doesn’t require taking out a second mortgage. The Aventure M feels like a natural progression for Aventon – taking what made the Aventure 2 so popular and layering on meaningful performance and tech upgrades. The mid-drive motor brings real climbing power and smoother pedal assist, and features like auto shifting and built-in GPS tracking give this bike some serious smart credentials.
Of course, at nearly $3,000, this isn’t exactly budget territory anymore. But considering the Aventure M includes high-end components, a full-fat-tire adventure build, and an impressive level of integration, it still looks like a solid value for someone who wants their e-bike to go above and beyond the basic level of componentry and features. If the real-world range holds up and the automatic shifting works smoothly, this could easily become a category leader for anyone wanting an all-terrain e-bike that feels as refined as it is rugged. Aventon of course didn’t reinvent the wheel here — they just made a smarter, better one. I look forward to getting on one soon for a review and letting you know what I think of the ride.

Move over, ordinary scooters – there’s a new contender packed with features that seem to rival the latest in automotive tech. Omoway, a fresh face in the electric two-wheeler space founded by former Xpeng execs, has just unveiled the Omo X, a scooter full of premium tech features that blur the lines between e-scooter and self-driving EV.
At its recent launch in Jakarta, the Omo X didn’t just sit pretty center stage, it actually drove itself onto the stage using its “Halo Pilot” system, which apparently comes complete with adaptive cruise control, remote summon, self-parking, and even automatic reversing and self-balancing at low speeds. This is legit autonomous behavior previously reserved for cars, now shrunk down and smoothed out for a two-wheeler.
Under the hood – or rather, behind the sleek bodywork – Omoway’s Halo architecture delivers collision warning, emergency-brake assist, blind spot monitoring, and V2V communication.
The frame is modular, too. It can be reconfigured in step-through, straddle, or touring posture to suit casual riders, commuters, and motorcycle wannabes alike. That kind of flexibility isn’t just a marketing gimmick, but rather it looks purpose-built to capture diverse motorcycle-heavy markets like Indonesia, which counts over 120 million two-wheelers and is quickly transitioning to electric models, with sales surging nearly 400% in 2024, though adoption remains early-stage.

We don’t have full specs or pricing yet, but early reports point to a launch in early 2026, with a projected price around €3,500 (roughly $3,800), positioning it above entry-level but below premium e-moto territory. That puts Omoway in a unique space: not asking riders to settle for barebones utility, but also not charging premium-badge luxury pricing either.
So what’s the trade-off?
On the plus side, the Omo X is the boldest statement we’ve seen from a fresh OEM in years. It’s tech-rich, head-turning, and seems built to evolve with software updates. The remote summon and AI-assisted features could genuinely simplify urban mobility, and tricks like automatically driving itself to a charging station sound legitimately useful.
But bleeding-edge autonomous tech like that also threatens to weigh it down, somewhat literally, but more so conceptually. Even “normal” modern electric scooters can face headwinds in production, and they aren’t exactly reinventing the wheel with self-driving or self-balancing. Omoway’s vision here will have to carry extra sensors, actuators, and redundant systems to support those smart functions. With added costs and complexity, will riders in developing markets pay a premium, carry extra maintenance risk, or worry about obsolescence? Much hinges on Omoway’s software support and local service networks.
Then there’s the question of necessity. Southeast Asian scooter culture prizes simplicity, affordability, and ruggedness – features not always associated with cutting-edge tech bundles. And in regions like North America or Europe, where EV scooter culture is small yet growing and infrastructure isn’t universal, adoption may hinge on support for charging, service, and safety standards.
Still, this is a bold move from a brand that isn’t afraid to think big will always be refreshing. With a seed round backed by Sequoia and ZhenFund, plus a team sourced from Xpeng and automotive-grade supply chains, Omoway clearly has both the ambition and capacity to scale. And while Indonesia may have been the launchpad, global markets aren’t off the table.
