Track Segway’s Ninebot Max G2 electric scooter with Apple Find My
Best Buy is now offering one of the first price cuts to date on the new Segway Max G2 Electric Scooter. It now drops down to $999.99. The savings drop from $1,300 for the first time in a handful of months, taking $300 off while marking the second-best price to date. We last saw it on sale for $900 back in November.
Serving as a successor to the original Max scooter, Segway’s new offering comes equipped with some notable improvements. This time around, there’s now an increased 22 mph top speed, adding a little extra oomph to its predecessor’s 18 mph speeds. You can also expect to travel further on a single charge thanks to a 43-mile range that’s close to twice the distance as before.
Otherwise, you’re looking at a fairly standard form factor from Segway. The Max G2 packs a folding design that allows it to stow away in smaller packages, or at least be transported around indoors with some added convenience. It comes bundled with a new 3A fast charger in the box that leads to faster refuels for its 1,000 W motor. Segway also packs in some newer smart features, like Apple Find My support, for some added peace of mind.
EGO’s Power+ 56V electric leaf blower sees spring clearance
Amazon is now offering the EGO Power+ 56V Cordless Electric Leaf Blower kit for $153. Normally fetching $220, you’re looking at a solid spring discount that takes 30% off one of the more trusted brands in electric tools. EGO’s Power+ electric leaf blower arrives with a cordless design that’s powered by 56V battery. It can dish out 170 MPH wind speeds from the handheld form-factor which can run for 75 minutes on a single charge.
Like all electric tools, there’s no gas or oil involved with adding this to your tool shed. It includes a bundled 5Ah battery and the companion charger. You might not need this for getting your lawn in shape this spring. But with a clearance discount like this, buying now will have you thanking yourself come fall.

Trump says he wants to negotiate a nuclear deal with Iran after imposing ‘maximum pressure’
Vammo, a battery-swapping service for electric motorcycles in Latin America, has just announced that the company has surpassed an impressive 1 million battery swaps in a little over a year.
The company has built its service around a combination of VMoto electric motorcycles and a battery-swapping service designed to keep those motorcycles rolling all day without stopping to charge.
Headquartered in São Paulo, Brazil, Vammo’s electric motorcycles and battery swap cabinets currently serve around 1,800 customers, with that number growing quickly. The service was launched just over a year ago and has already saved its customers a combined US $1.3 million in fuel costs. That’s on top of preventing the release of 3,050 tons of CO2 emissions.
Vammo’s subscription model saves users as much as 50% compared to gasoline-powered motorcycles, translating into annual savings of thousands of dollars. “Not only are we helping to cut carbon emissions by 85%, but we’re also putting significant savings back into the pockets of our customers,” said Jack Sarvary, Vammo’s co-founder and CEO. “Many of our users, especially delivery drivers, are saving as much as $2,000–$4,000 per year, making electric mobility both affordable and sustainable.”
That success has led to rapid growth for the company. Last year alone, Vammo saw 8x growth in both revenue and customer base.
“Our growth demonstrates the power of affordable, clean transportation,” said Billy Blaustein, Vammo’s COO. “We are proving that sustainable mobility can be both accessible and scalable.”
Vammo’s VMoto models have now become the #1 registered electric motorcycle brand in Brazil, likely making the company the top player in Latin America.
Battery swapping for electric motorcycles has gained significant interest in the last few years, especially as Gogoro has expanded its world-leading model for swappable electric scooter batteries. But unlike Gogoro, which built a swappable battery standard and then began persuading other companies to adopt it, Vammo built its service around existing electric motorcycles and their already operational battery designs.
Vammo began operations in São Paulo and has positioned its service as a solution not only for Brazil but also for broader Latin America.
Brazil is uniquely suited for electric motorcycles and battery swapping, as the country not only sells 4x the amount of motorcycles per year as the US, but has some of the cleanest electricity in the world. Over 90% of the country’s electricity is generated by clean sources, primarily hydroelectric power, with wind and solar also contributing to the mix. Compare that to the global average of just 13%.
Vammo is building on its momentum, recently announcing a partnership with app-based taxi provider 99, offering mototaxi drivers access to its electric motorcycles.
