Bundle Juiced’s new 52V G2 battery with a discounted e-bike

Juiced Bikes is offering a special promotion that takes $500 off its new 52V G2 Battery Pack when purchasing from a selection of its e-bikes. These models are discounted by small amounts, like the CrossCurrent X Step-Through Commuter e-bike for $1,949 shipped. Down from $1,999, most of the 2023 sales saw this model drop to $1,599, with some falling to $1,499 and one going $100 further to the all-time low. Today’s deal comes in as a $50 markdown off the going rate, but considering the $500 off promotion on the battery pack, you’re getting a total of $550 in savings (plus double mileage on your new e-bike). All you have to do to take advantage of this bundle deal is add one of the offered e-bikes to your cart along with the 52V G2 Battery Pack and the discount will automatically be applied.

This commuter e-bike comes in three colorways (white, black, yellow, and teal) equipped with a 750W Bafang geared hub motor and 52V 19.2Ah battery that can reach top speeds of 28 MPH while traveling up to 65+ miles on a single charge (doubled with your new extra battery). It features a unique combination cadence and torque pedal assist, that measures your pedal force 1,000 times a second to apply proportional power to your own effort while simultaneously receiving over 100 signals per crank revolution to eliminate any lag that one might feel with a traditional 12-magnet cadence sensor alone. Your new e-bike will also arrive with a full accessory detail: thumb throttle, LCD display, hydraulic disc brakes, rear storage rack, tire fenders, ergonomic handle grips, a 1050-lumen headlight, 9-speed transmission, and even puncture-resistant tires.

Other Juiced e-bikes included in promotion:

Anker’s PowerCore Reserve 192Wh Power Station hits $105 low

The official Anker Amazon storefront is offering its PowerCore Reserve 192Wh Power Station for $104.99 shipped. Recently fetching $150, with an original $170 MSRP, this device rode its MSRP throughout 2023, with only a few discounts ever occuring – the biggest of which dropped costs to a $119 low. In the new year we saw a drop down to its new list price that it has since remained at until today’s deal. It comes in as a $45 markdown off the going rate ($65 off the original MSRP) and marks a new all-time low. It even beats Anker’s website where it is still listed at its $150 rate.

This power station has a 60,000mAh (192Wh) capacity that is tailored for personal use throughout your days rather than powering your camping sites. It sports a compact design of 4.59 inches by 4.59 inches by 8.17 inches and only weighs 5 pounds, making it easy to store and carry. You can even connect it to a solar panel for solar charging on-the-go, taking just 4 hours with a 60W input. It features a built-in retractable light with two brightness modes alongside an S.O.S. button to provide emergency lighting for safety during power outages or other emergency situations. You’ll also get four output ports to cover your personal devices: two USB-As and two USB-Cs. And for protection, you can even get a custom co2CREA Hard Case for $32.

Greenworks 80V 21-inch mower, 730 CFM blower, and 13-inch trimmer combo starts from $600

Best Buy is offering the Greenworks 80V 21-inch Lawn Mower, 13-inch String Trimmer, and 730 Leaf Blower Combo with a 4.0Ah battery for $699.99 shipped. My Best Buy members can get an extra $100 off, dropping the price to $599.99 shipped. Membership starts at $50, which in turn saves you $100 off the combo. Down from its $1,100 price tag, this combo saw a few discounts over 2023, the biggest of them dropping costs to the $580 all-time during Black Friday sales. We’ve already seen one previous discount so far in the new year, taking things down to $600 (which is repeated here with a My Best Buy membership), with today’s deal coming in as a 36% markdown off the going rate and landing at the third-lowest price we have tracked.

The lawn mower comes equipped with a 80V brushless motor alongside a 4.0Ah battery that offers up to 45 minutes of continuous runtime on a single charge, and able to recharge fully in up to 50 minutes. It features a seven-position height adjustment for whatever environment may need a trim and starts up with the simple push of a button. The leaf blower sports a variable speed trigger with cruise control, a vacuum bag attachment, and is able to produce 730 CFM of air flow reaching up to 170 MPH. The string trimmer offers a 13-inch cutting path for up to 30 minutes of continuous runtime, and features a pivoting head that sports 2-in-1 functionality for trimming and edging.

Winter e-bike deals!

Amazon, Google and Meta support tripling nuclear power by 2050

Amazon, Google and Meta support tripling nuclear power by 2050

Google, Meta, and Amazon join forces to boost nuclear energy by 2050

HOUSTON — Amazon, Alphabet’s Google and Meta Platforms on Wednesday said they support efforts to at least triple nuclear energy worldwide by 2050.

The tech companies signed a pledge first adopted in December 2023 by more than 20 countries, including the U.S., at the U.N. Climate Change Conference. Financial institutions including Bank of America, Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley backed the pledge last year.

The pledge is nonbinding, but highlights the growing support for expanding nuclear power among leading industries, finance and governments.

Amazon, Google and Meta are increasingly important drivers of energy demand in the U.S. as they build out artificial intelligence centers. The tech sector is turning to nuclear power after concluding that renewables alone won’t provide enough reliable power for their energy needs.

Amazon and Google announced investments last October to help launch small nuclear reactors, technology still under development that the industry hopes will reduce the cost and timelines that have plagued new reactor builds in the U.S.

Meta issued a call in December for nuclear developers to submit proposals to help the tech company add up to four gigawatts of new nuclear in the U.S.

The pledge signed Wednesday was led by the World Nuclear Association on the sidelines of the CERAWeek by S&P Global energy conference in Houston.

French industrial giant Schneider Electric hails the significance of China’s ‘DeepSeek moment’

French industrial giant Schneider Electric hails the significance of China’s ‘DeepSeek moment'

Schneider Electric chairman says China’s DeepSeek breakthrough is ‘very good’ news

China’s so-called “DeepSeek moment” is likely to be good news in the global race to develop artificial intelligence models that can carry out more complex tasks, according to Jean-Pascal Tricoire, chairman of French power-equipment maker Schneider Electric.

“I actually think its good news. We need AI at every level,” Tricoire told CNBC’s Steve Sedgwick at CONVERGE LIVE in Singapore on Wednesday.

“We need AI to optimize your whole enterprise at all levels, so that you can buy better, consume better, decide better, source better. To do all of this, we need models to operate on a smaller scale,” he added.

Tricoire said the emergence of Chinese AI app DeepSeek showed that AI models can achieve the same results as some of its more established U.S. rivals, but with a much smaller model.

It “will actually spread AI at all levels of the architecture much faster,” Tricoire said. He added that DeepSeek’s blockbuster R1 model would be “fantastic” for improving safety and reliability when deploying AI on dangerous equipment.

“The spread of AI models at every level of what we need is actually very good news,” Tricoire said.

His comments come shortly after Schneider Electric reported record sales and profits in 2024.

The company, which has been a big beneficiary of the artificial intelligence trend, raised its 2025 profit margin following robust fourth-quarter demand for data centers.

Shares of Schneider Electric rose 33% in 2024, following a 39% upswing in 2023. The Paris-listed stock is down around 7% year to date, however, with China’s recent AI push sparking concerns about AI investment and tech sector returns.

Data centers, which consume an ever-increasing amount of energy, represent a key piece of infrastructure behind modern-day cloud computing and AI applications.

Ailing Swedish EV battery firm Northvolt files for bankruptcy

Struggling electric vehicle battery manufacturer Northvolt on Wednesday said it has filed for bankruptcy in Sweden.

The firm said it that it submitted the insolvency filing after an “exhaustive effort to explore all available means to secure a viable financial and operational future for the company.”

“Like many companies in the battery sector, Northvolt has experienced a series of compounding challenges in recent months that eroded its financial position, including rising capital costs, geopolitical instability, subsequent supply chain disruptions, and shifts in market demand,” Northvolt noted.

“Further to this backdrop, the company has faced significant internal challenges in its ramp-up of production, both in ways that were expected by engagement in what is a highly complex industry, and others which were unforeseen.”

Northvolt’s collapse into insolvency deals a major blow to Europe’s ambition to become self-sufficient and build out its own EV battery supply chain to catch up to China, which leads as the world’s largest market for electric vehicles by a wide margin.

The Swedish battery firm had been seeking financial support to continue its operations amid an ongoing Chapter 11 restructuring process in the United States, which it kicked off in November.

“Despite liquidity support from our lenders and key counterparties, the company was unable to secure the necessary financial conditions to continue in its current form,” Northvolt said Wednesday.

Northvolt said a Swedish court-appointed trustee will oversee the company’s bankruptcy process, including the sale of the business and its assets and settlement of outstanding obligations.
