Save $975 on Segway’s x260 Electric Dirt Bike at $5,525

Courtesy of its ongoing Outlet Event, Best Buy is offering the Segway x260 Electric Dirt Bike for $5,524.99 shipped. Normally keeping to its $6,500 price tag, this particular model has seen very few discounts since first hitting the market in 2019. We’ve seen it fall lower once before, back in 2020 when it dropped to the $4,000 low, but Motocross enthusiasts are getting a chance at some solid savings here today, with $975 cut from its going rate to give you the second-lowest price we can find.

Segway’s x260 Electric Dirt Bike cruises onto the scene sporting a 3kW brushless DC motor that peaks at 5kW in order to tackle up to 45-degree inclines, as well as a removable 60V/32Ah battery to power the whole system. In just four hours of charging you’ll have the juice to travel up to 74.6 miles and hit top speeds up to 46.6 MPH, with acceleration going from zero to 31 MPH in just 4.02 seconds. It provides two different riding modes to balance its riding capabilities, with the sport mode giving more speed while the EP mode offers further range, each at the cost of the other.

The x260 electric dirt bike been outfitted with a bunch of features to support it through its rough and tumble rides, like the 70/100-19 off-road tires, double-shoulder inverted front fork suspension, a multi-link hydraulic spring, an LED headlight, and hydraulic disc brakes with rear regenerative braking to get back some of your lost energy for extended rides. Don’t worry about it getting a little wet during your ride either, as its controller comes with an IP67 waterproof rating while the battery provides IP65 protection.

Anker has launched its Early Prime Big Deal Days sale through October 9 which is taking up to $4,134 off its lineup of power stations, solar generator and home backup bundles, as well as accessories too – with extra gifted savings opportunities on orders over $3,000. You’ll find a well-rounded backup solution in the SOLIX F2000 Portable Power Station that is down at $1,199 shipped from its usual $1,999 price tag. During most of the sales we’ve seen in 2024, prices on this model often get dropped between $1,299 and $1,399, while we have seen it go lower once before to the $1,099 low back during July’s Prime Day event. You’re looking at the second-lowest price we have tracked here today, giving you a solid $800 in savings.

Avoid getting stuck in the dark wherever you are with this reliable SOLIX F2000 power station that boasts a well-rounded 2,048Wh LiFePO4 battery capacity while delivering up to 2,400W of power output. It’s been given 12 output ports to ensure significant and versatile coverage of your devices and appliances, with four AC ports, three USB-C ports, two USB-A ports, two car ports, and an exclusive RV port for mobile home travelers. It recharges up to 80% of its battery in only 1.4 hours plugged into a wall outlet, while utilizing its maximum 1,000W solar input will get you the same amount in as little as 2.5 hours. You’ll also get extra efficiency built right in as the smart AC ports work with its internal systems to switch into a power-saving mode for energy conservation that extends its lifespan and prevents waste.

There are quite a few discounted bundle options here to expand its capabilities once it arrives at your doorstep, with the unit including a 200W solar panel for $1,399, or you can bump it up to a 400W solar panel for $1,599, as well as getting a doubled 4,096Wh capacity with an expansion battery at $1,999. If you’re planning to use it to keep your home supported through power outages, you can snag the station with a transfer switch and the appropriate cable for $1,599, with an option to add a 200W solar panel to this combo for $200 more, or get the 4,096Wh expansion battery bundle with the transfer switch at $2,399.

Best Buy offers a second chance to score Hyper’s Jet Fuel step-over BMX e-bike at $600 low (Reg. $1,000+)

After offering it two weeks ago as one of its 24-hour Deals of the Day, Best Buy is now offering a longer-term discount on the Hyper Jet Fuel Step-Over e-bike at $599.99 shipped. Down from its $1,000 price tag here, we’ve seen few discounts on this particular model over the year, with most coming direct from Hyper and cutting costs down from its higher $1,198 MSRP there to keep near $900 to $1,000. We saw this model drop to its $600 low just two weeks ago in a 24-hour sale, but it’s returning here today with the same $400 markdown (and without the limited-time constraints) giving you another chance to grab it at the lowest price we have tracked.

Combining the convenience of e-mobility solutions with a 26-inch BMX design, Hyper’s Jet Fuel e-bike brings plenty of power alongside durability for teens and adults alike up to 275 pounds – especially for first-time e-bike riders. The 26-inch aluminum frame sports a 250W rear-hub motor that pairs with the integrated flush-mounted 36V 10.4Ah battery and three levels of pedal assistance to top out at 20 MPH for up to 20 miles on a quick four-hour charge – plus, you can always ride it like any normal bike too. It comes stocked with 26-inch multi-surface fat tires, front and rear disc brakes, a premium BMX padded saddle, and a simple handlebar-mounted controller for effortless setting adjustments.

OKAI’s Ranger e-bike carries you through streets and trails for up to 45 miles at $1,500 (Reg. $2,000)

Amazon is offering the OKAI Ranger e-bike at $1,499.99 shipped. Normally fetching $2,000 most of the time, we saw it kick off 2024 by dropping to its $1,020 low for a short-lived period at the tail-end of January before quickly rising back up to its full price. Since then, we’ve mainly seen the price keeping above $1,500 with two particular instances where it was brought back down, first to $1,300 for a one-day Best Buy sale in February and then to $1,400 in April. You’re looking at the fourth-lowest price here today as it receives a solid 25% cut from its tag, saving you $500 on this all-terrain e-mobility solution. It even beats out OKAI’s website right now, where it is discounted at a higher $1,550 rate at the moment.

OKAI’s Ranger e-bike has been given a 750W BAFANG rear-hub motor (peaking at 1,000W) that pairs with the removable 48V battery to reach top speeds of 20 MPH and carry you for up to 45 miles on a single six-hour charge, making it as reliable a commuter option as it is great for joyriding around your town/city. It’s been equipped with several features to support it through urban and off-road adventures, like the 26-inch by 4-inch fat tires with puncture protections, a RST travel hydraulic suspension fork with lockout, Tektro disc brakes, and an integrated full-color LED touchscreen display. You’ll even get the bonus of a NFC card to lock your e-bike when you’re away from it for added security.

Clear fall’s debris with the Greenworks 80V 730 CFM Cordless Handheld Blower at $170 low for today only

Coming to us through its Deals of the Day, Best Buy is offering folks another chance to grab the Greenworks 80V 730 CFM Cordless Handheld Blower at $169.99 shipped through the rest of the day. This powerful blower would normally cost you $250 most days, but we’ve been seeing consistently lower discounts in 2024 than in previous years, with it first hitting its $170 low back during July. Since then it’s only fallen to $180 at the lowest, but you’re getting another chance for today only to add it to your tool arsenal at $80 off its usual rate and the lowest price we have tracked.

This 80V blower from Greenworks arrives boasting “25% more air volume and 20% more speed” than its predecessors while also weighing in “20% lighter than gas blowers” – plus, you won’t have to deal with the fumes and noise on top of it all. With its included 2.5Ah battery you’ll be able to clear out yards for up to 70 minutes on a single charge. It’s been given a brushless motor that has become a standard with the brand, which reaches air speeds of 170 MPH and is easy to control thanks to the variable speed trigger. If you’ve already invested in Greenworks equipment before, you’ll be able to get more out of this model by interchanging batteries – compatible with most of the other tools in the brand’s ecosystem.

Ørsted’s largest solar farm in the world is now online in Texas

Ørsted's largest solar farm in the world is now online in Texas

The Mockingbird Solar Center, Ørsted’s largest solar project globally, is now online, next to protected prairie donated by the renewable energy giant.

This massive 468-megawatt (MW) solar farm is set to power 80,000 homes and businesses, providing a major boost to the Texas grid.

But the launch of Mockingbird Solar isn’t just about clean energy – it’s also about restoring precious ecosystems. Ørsted has donated 953 acres of the Smiley-Woodfin Native Prairie Grassland, which sits next to the solar center, to The Nature Conservancy. The donated land is now the Smiley Meadow Preserve, a protected area for tallgrass prairie that’s home to more than 400 species of grasses and wildflowers.

Tallgrass prairies are some of the rarest ecosystems in the US, with less than 1% of Texas’ original tallgrass prairies still in existence. Tallgrass prairie does a lot of heavy lifting for the environment, including storing carbon, preventing floods, and providing crucial habitats for pollinators.

“Native prairies are the rarest landscapes left in Texas – so much so that many people have never seen one,” said David Bezanson, land protection strategy program director for The Nature Conservancy in Texas. He added that preserving Smiley Meadow will not only conserve one of the best prairie remnants left but also help restore other prairie habitats and boost regional biodiversity.

The Mockingbird Solar Center, a half-billion-dollar project, is part of Ørsted’s $20 billion push to expand renewable energy production across the US. Beyond generating electricity, it will inject $75 million into local property taxes, benefiting schools and other public services. The project also created over 550 construction jobs and will continue to be supported by operations staff moving forward.

Ørsted worked with US companies, including First Solar, for solar panels and partnered with local businesses like Drake Construction and Pfifer Farms for construction materials. It also gave more than $50,000 to local volunteer fire departments in Roxton and Brookston.

With Mockingbird Solar now up and running, Ørsted has more than 6 gigawatts of onshore wind, solar, and battery storage projects either in operation or being built across the US.

Cramer names oil and natural gas stocks set to do well under Trump

CNBC’s Jim Cramer on Friday said companies related to natural gas and oil will thrive under President-elect Donald Trump’s administration and a majority Republican Congress.

“We’re hearing about all sorts of Trump trades right now, and many of these things have made insane moves in less than three weeks, to the point where, actually, they’re feeling precarious to me,” he said. “If you want a sustainable Trump trade, I say bet on the natural gas ecosystem. This is an industry that already had a lot going for it, it just needed some cooperation from the federal government, which it is about to get.”

President Joe Biden’s administration is largely opposed to fossil fuels, Cramer said, and the federal government has worked to block pipelines and paused new liquified gas export authorizations. This dynamic, coupled with a weaker global economy, caused the sector to underperform for much of the year, he suggested. But Trump has shown more favor to the industry, and Cramer pointed out that he tapped prominent oil executive Chris Wright to lead the Department of Energy.

Cramer recommended several stocks in the sector, including energy producers EQT and Coterra. The former is focused on natural gas and recently acquired peer Equitrans, raising the combined company’s valuation to an estimated $35 billion, Cramer noted. He added that Coterra is a good long-term holding and called the company “one of the shrewdest operators in the industry.”

He highlighted pipeline companies, including Energy Transfer and Kinder Morgan, and said he was especially bullish on Enbridge. Enbridge says it transports about 20% of all natural gas consumed in the U.S., and Cramer claimed the Canadian outfit has “strategically located assets.” He also named Cheniere and Sempra, saying the former is the “best play” for liquified natural gas exports.

“Seasonally, this is a good time for the commodity,” he said, pointing out that natural gas itself has climbed since the election. “But I also think there’s some optimism about the future of the industry driving this move.”

Jeep’s first global luxury electric SUV will arrive at US dealerships any day. Despite its $72,000 price tag, lease prices for the 2024 Jeep Wagoneer S EV start at just $599 per month.

2024 Jeep Wagoneer S EV lease prices

After unveiling its first global electric SUV, Jeep’s CEO said the Wagoneer S “marks a new chapter” in its storied history.

Jeep claims the Wagoneer S packs “exhilarating performance.” With 600 hp and 617 lb-ft of torque, the big-body SUV can sprint from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.4 seconds. Its 100 kWh battery pack also gives it a driving range of over 300 miles.

The electric SUV is unmistakably still a Jeep, but it did get several upgrades to distinguish it as an EV. The grille is now enclosed without the need to cool a massive engine, giving it a sporty, more modern look.

Jeep revamped its design with a new illuminated seven-slot grille with ambient cast lightning. It also fine-tuned its profile, adding flush door handles, a rear wing, and integrated fins for better airflow.

Inside, the electric SUV is loaded with the latest tech and connectivity, including a best-in-class 45″ of usable screen space. The setup includes a 12.3″ center screen and an exclusive 10.25″ interactive front passenger screen.
