Save up to $803 on Blix e-bike bundles starting from $1,499 during 4th of July sales

Blix Bikes has launched its 4th of July sale that is taking up to $500 off its e-bike lineup while also giving you up to $303 in free add-on accessories. One of the notable standouts during this sale, is the Sol Eclipse Cruiser e-bike for $1,499 shipped. Normally fetching $1,899, we usually see this model cut down to $1,699 or more regularly $1,599 during most sales events. In the last year alone, we have only tracked it dropping to $1,499 during April’s spring sale, when it even beat out its Black Friday and Christmas sale rates by $100. Today’s deal is a surprise repeat of April’s savings, giving you a solid $400 markdown on top of three handy accessories – fenders for both tires, a rear-mountable cargo rack, and a front basket, all valued at $207 – for a grand total of $607 in savings. Blix also offers an extra $200 off any purchase of any two e-bikes by using the promo code RIDETOGETHER at checkout.

Blix’s Sol Eclipse Cruiser e-bike arrives sporting a slim and colorful beach cruiser design, with a 750W rear hub motor supported by the 614Wh capacity battery that both allow it to hit top speeds of 20 MPH for up to 45 miles on a single charge. It has five levels of pedal assistance watched over by the 12-magnet cadence sensor, as well as a throttle for pure electric action. Other features include a LED headlight, 27.5-inch by 2.4-inch puncture-resistant tires, mechanical disc brakes, a Shimano 7-speed derailleur, and an LCD display for real-time performance data and setting adjustments that also has a USB port to charge your devices as you ride. Plus, don’t forget the fenders, cargo rack, and front basket that quickly and easily attach to its modular design elements for a more enhanced ride.

Samsung Bespoke all-in-one smart electric washer and ventless dryer within post for Blix 4th of July sale

Samsung’s Bespoke all-in-one smart electric washer and ventless dryer at new lows starting from $1,600

Best Buy is offering the Samsung Bespoke AI All-in-One 5.3 cubic-foot Ultra Capacity Washer and Ventless Heat Pump Dryer for $1,999.99 shipped, with an included $150 Best Buy gift card along with your purchase. Down from its $2,800 list price, with an even greater $3,339 MSRP direct from Samsung, this is one of the best deals we’ve seen for this eco-friendly washer/dryer combo, currently beaten by a parallel deal for Costco members only that is offering the unit at $1,600. Anyone can benefit from the Best Buy deal though, which ultimately costs you $1,850 thanks to the gift card’s extra $150 in savings that you can use on future purchases. You’ll also find this unit available direct from Samsung at $1,999, with extra savings offers available. These are the three best rates that we have tracked, all of which beat our previous mention from May by at least $199 (technically $349 with the gift card).

This ENERGY STAR certified combination washer/dryer unit arrives sporting a sleek look and AI-supported functionality that makes laundry routines far less of a hassle than standard models. Alongside the smart controls you’ll get via the companion app, this appliance features AI OptiWash and AI Optimal Dry, which can not only detect the fabric types and their soil levels placed inside, but also adjust settings as needed during the cycles – saving you the headache of memorizing what cycle and settings are most desirable for particular articles of clothes.

It also boasts a large detergent tank that can hold and dispense up to 47 loads of detergent, or, by using the Flex One compartment, you can dispense 25 loads of detergent alongside 34 loads of softener. Regardless which way you choose, you won’t have to worry about refilling it before every new load – just throw in your clothes and go! One of its standout features that makes this an amazing upgrade to your home, is its ventless design that not only lets you install it anywhere that fits your convenience (and not just your home’s pre-determined layout), but its dual inverter heat pump technology makes it far more energy efficient than most other models, plus – working with its AI, the system can predict electricity costs and “reduce energy usage by up to 19%.”

Usually going for $1,000, since the new year began we’ve been seeing semi-regular discounts on this model during most sales events, often cutting costs down around $750, with occasional drops further to $700. Today’s deal comes in as a surprise 34% markdown that is taking savings further than ever before and landing it at the lowest price we have tracked.

The Hiboy MAX Pro Electric Scooter arrives equipped with a 650W motor alongside a 48V battery that will carry you up to max speeds of 22 MPH for up to 46.6 miles on a single charge. It has three riding modes to choose from (sport, drive, eco), with additional settings for customizable cruise controls as well, which is nice on those longer commutes with plenty of straightaways and open road. It also comes jam-packed with features like 11-inch pneumatic tires, both e-brakes and disc brakes, an LED headlight, sidelights, and a taillight, dual suspension, smart controls via the Hiboy app – including lock controls for security, a one-click folding design, and an integrated digital display for real-time data and setting adjustments.

Oil giant Saudi Aramco posts 15% drop in third-quarter profit but maintains dividend

Oil giant Saudi Aramco posts 15% drop in third-quarter profit but maintains dividend

Saudi state oil giant Aramco reported a 15.4% drop in net profit in the third-quarter on the back of “lower crude oil prices and weakening refining margins,” but maintained a 31.05 billion dividend.

The company reported net income of $27.56 billion in the July-September period, topping a company-provided estimate of $26.9 billion. The print is also a 5% drop from the previous quarter, which came in at $29.1 billion, as lower global oil prices, weaker demand and prolonged OPEC+ production cuts led by Saudi Arabia continue to impact crude prices.

The average selling price of oil for the second quarter of 2024 stood at $85 per barrel, but dropped to $78.7 per barrel during the third quarter, according to Saudi-based bank Al Rajhi capital, as non-OPEC supply volumes grew.

The oil firm said its year-on-year decline was partly offset by a “reduction in selling, administrative and general expenses primarily driven by a gain from derivative instruments, and a decrease in production royalties largely reflecting lower crude oil prices and a lower average effective royalty rate compared to the same quarter last year.”

Aramco’s dividend includes a base payout of $20.3 billion and an atypical performance-linked one of $10.8 billion. The Saudi government and the kingdom’s sovereign wealth vehicle, the Public Investment Fund, are the main beneficiaries of the dividend, holding stakes of roughly 81.5% and 16% in the company.

The remaining shareholding trades freely on Saudi Arabia’s Tadāwul stock exchange, with the company having finalized its second public share offering back in June.

Aramco’s earnings before Interest and Taxes (EBIT) came in at $51.45 billion in the third quarter, down 17% year-on-year. Aramco’s capital expenditure guidance was brought up 20% to $13.23 billion.

The company was trading at 27.45 riyals following the announcement, down 0.18% on the previous day.

The earnings align with a broader trend across oil majors, whose third-quarter profits have also suffered from declines in crude prices and refining margins. Aramco said it achieved average realized crude price of $79.3 per barrel in the third quarter, compared with $89.3 per barrel in the same period of last year.

Saudi Arabia, the world’s largest crude exporter who produces roughly 9 million barrels per day of crude at present, serves as the de facto leader of the OPEC+ oil producers’ alliance, a subset of whom agreed over the weekend to delay a planned December output hike by one month.

OPEC chief says delayed December output hike is 'nothing unusual'

“Aramco delivered robust net income and generated strong free cash flow during the third quarter, despite a lower oil price environment,” CEO Amin Nasser said in a statement. “We also progressed our upstream developments, strengthened our downstream value chain, and advanced our new energies program as we continue to invest through cycles.”

The revenues will be a boon to the Saudi economy, which is currently undergoing a diversification process under Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman’s legacy Vision 2030 scheme spanning a slew of high-cost infrastructure “gigaprojects.”

Earlier this year, Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Finance cut the kingdom’s growth forecast to 0.8% in 2024, in a steep decline from a previous projection of 4.4%, and raised the outlook for the national budgetary shortfall to roughly 2.9% of GDP, from a prior indication of 1.9%.

This 'supercharger on wheels' brings fast charging to you [update]

Mobile car care company Yoshi Mobility launched a DC fast charging EV mobile unit that it likens to “a supercharger on wheels.”

November 4, 2024 update: Yoshi Mobility will only be charging EVs on the side of the road now – it announced today that it’s selling its fleet fueling operation to EZFill Holdings (Nasdaq: EZFL).

It was originally founded as a direct-to-consumer, mobile fueling business in 2016, but now it’s going to focus on mobile EV charging, virtual vehicle inspections for partners like Uber and Turo, and onsite preventative maintenance.

Bryan Frist, Yoshi Mobility’s CEO & cofounder, said, “By spinning off our fuel business and focusing all of our energy on solving hair-on-fire problems that fleet owners face, we are meeting the changing needs of enterprise customers while making the future of transportation safer, cleaner, and more sustainable.”

May 22, 2024: Yoshi Mobility saw that its existing customers needed mobile EV charging in places where infrastructure has yet to be installed, so the Nashville-based company decided to bring the mountain to Moses.

“We recognized a demand among our customers for convenient daily charging, reliable private charging networks, and proper charging infrastructure to support their fleet vehicles as they transition to electric,” said Dan Hunter, Yoshi Mobility’s chief EV officer and cofounder.

The company says its 240 kW mobile DC fast charger, which can turn “any EV” into a mobile charging unit, is the first fully electric mobile charger available. It can provide multiple charges in a single trip but doesn’t detail how they charge the DC fast charger or who manufactured it. (I asked for more details, and they replied that they won’t disclose client names or the manufacturer of its DC fast charger yet.)

Yoshi is launching its mobile charger on two GM BrightDrop Zevo 600s and will introduce additional vehicles throughout 2024. It aims for full commercialization by Q1 2025. (I wonder if the Zevo 600 ever charges itself? Yes, I asked that too.)

Yoshi Mobility says it’s already deployed its EV charging solutions to service “major OEMs, autonomous vehicle companies, and rideshare operators” across the US. Its initial customers are made up of large EV operators managing “hundreds” of light-duty vehicles requiring up to 1 megawatt of energy per day that don’t yet have grid-connected EV chargers. I’ve asked Yoshi for details of who it’s working with, and will update if they share that info.

The company says pricing is based on location and enterprise charging needs. Once under contract for service, the service will be deployed to US-based customers within 10 days.

To date, Yoshi Mobility has raised more than $60 million, with investments from GM Ventures, Bridgestone, ExxonMobil, and Y-Combinator in Silicon Valley.
