Juiced’s 20% off sitewide sale drops JetCurrent Pro Foldable e-bike to new $1,759 low

Juiced has increased its sitewide savings to 20% off, which is giving folks an even better deal on its new JetCurrent Pro Foldable e-bike than we reported on a few days ago, now down at $1,759.20 shipped, after using the promo code SAVINGS at checkout. Priced at $2,799, and starting here today at $2,199, this combined 37% markdown not only beats the incredibly short-lived $1,889 former low that we saw the other day, but also gives you a total of $1,040 in savings – the largest amount taken off its usual rate that we have seen, marking a new all-time low price – but don’t wait to long to make a decision here, who knows how long Juiced will keep it going!

Juiced’s JetCurrent Pro Foldable e-bike boasts two new firsts for the popular brand – the folding frame that saves you far more storage/transport space and the ridiculous 34 MPH top speed. It achieves the latter thanks to the supercharged 1,200W NeoBlade motor (2,000W peak) that is powered by the 52V battery and comes supported by five levels of pedal assistance, which all together also provides a 70-mile travel range on a single charge. And the upgraded support doesn’t stop there, as it also sports joint torque and cadence sensors to reduce lag time between the system’s pick up too. Equipped with a throttle for pure electric action when you want it, there’s also an active cruise control feature that keeps speeds under 20 MPH to conserve the battery for longer travel times, or you can throw caution to the wind with its race track mode that cuts off any limits on the motor to reach its fastest settings.

The praises don’t stop there for Juiced’s JetCurrent Pro e-bike, as it comes stocked with a 1,050-lumen Shadowblaster headlight for increased visibility at night, as well as 4-inch fat tires with fenders over each, 4-piston hydraulic disc brakes, turn signal functionality on both the front and rear sections, and a separate brake light too. You’ll also get some gear which you can add onto the frame at your preference, with a rear cargo rack, a folding mirror, an “automotive grade horn,” a backlit LCD display with a USB port to charge your phone – plus, it even has a security alarm with a wireless remote.

You’ll find all the other e-bikes under the brand’s flag by following this link here to the landing page, with the 20% off discount not shown on models’ prices until you use the promo code SAVINGS at checkout.

Rad Power’s RadExpand 5 Folding e-bike drops to new $1,199 low

Rad Power has launched an Orange Friday sale through October 16 that is taking up to $400 off three of its utility and/or folding e-bike models alongside a 25% discount on its vehicle racks. Pulling out ahead of the pack as the biggest deal is the RadExpand 5 Folding e-bike for $1,199 shipped. This model is normally priced at $1,599 outside of sales, with 2024 largely dropping costs down to $1,299, with a few others seeing things taken lower to the former $1,249 low. Today though, you’re looking at the best deal we’ve seen on it yet as it gets a $400 markdown and lands at a new all-time low. You can check out our hands-on review over at Electrek or head below to learn more.

Solving the problem of storage space, the RadExpand 5 e-bike has been designed with a folding frame to condense its size when you’re not on the saddle to fit inside closets, car trunks, RVs, and more. It arrives stocked with a 750W brushless geared rear-hub motor that is powered by the 672Wh battery, with this combination providing a max speed of 20 MPH while carrying riders up to 45+ miles after a single charge. It has four low-profile cadence-sensing pedal assist levels to help extend the bike’s travel range, or if you’re unconcerned with mileage, there’s a half-twist throttle too (the sole use of which will decrease its range).

There’s a bunch more added features here to enhance your riding experience, with a standard LED headlight alongside an integrated taillight that offers brake light functionality, both of which automatically activate when daylight drops low enough. It also comes with an integrated cargo rack that has a 55-pound limit, fenders over both wheels, a water-resistant wiring harness, a 7-speed MicroShift derailleur, and a simple LED display.

Add Rachio’s smart hose timer and multi-zone sprinkler controllers to your setup at new low prices from $69

Amazon is offering a great new chance to optimize your sprinkler systems with the Rachio Smart Hose Timer with Wi-Fi Hub for $69 shipped. Normally fetching $100, we’ve mainly been seeing this package bobbing between $99 and $79 throughout 2024, with the former $75 low having only been seen once back in March. Today though, instead of returning to that rate, we’re getting an even better 31% markdown that drops costs to a new all-time low price.

This smart hose timer that comes along with the Wi-Fi hub will work in sync together in order to provide smart controls over your water supply as it flows from out of your spigot. Through the Rachio app on your smartphone, you can monitor flow rates, set schedules, and even have it send you alerts when things aren’t running properly. A neat bonus feature here is the timer using Wi-Fi to update itself on weather forecasts and skip scheduled watering times before or after expected rain, keeping your lawn from drowning while saving you some money too. You can also pair up to four of these timers to one Wi-Fi hub for maximum coverage.

That’s not the only new low price we’re seeing today for this system, as Amazon has also dropped the Rachio 3rd Gen Smart 4-Zone Sprinkler Controller to $85, down from $150. If you want to take your control over your water supply to its best levels, pairing this model with the above device is recommended. It also uses weather forecasts to skip scheduled watering periods, with functions like rain skip, wind skip, freeze skip, and more to save you money and save you from headaches of a dead lawn. It’s ready to be installed straight out of the box with no extra charges or subscription fees lurking around either.

If you have a much larger yard that the 4-zone can handle alone, there are other options, with the 8-zone sprinkler controller down from $230 to $177 right now, while its 16-zone counterpart is going for $217, down from $300. You can find a few bundle options on all these too, throwing in waterproof outdoor enclosures for added protection with the 8-zone controller for $209, while the 16-zone bundle here is down at $249. There’s also two more bundles worth considering of sprinkler controllers and the hose timer, with the 8-zone controller package for $246, or the 16-zone controller for $286.

nexus

Add the Nexus power station with two 7.5Ah batteries to your EGO Power+ setup for $899 low

Amazon is offering the EGO Power+ Nexus Portable Power Station with two 7.5Ah batteries for $899 shipped. You’d normally find this heavy-duty combo for $1,099 most days, with 2024 having seen very few discounts on it and its counterparts, most of which only took costs down to $999 while July’s Prime Day sales saw it first fall to $899. You can score it here today as it returns to its all-time summer Prime Day low, saving you $200 off its usual going rate. You can also find the power station alone at $599, or its larger counterpart with four 5.0Ah batteries for $1,481.

This power station from EGO Power+ was designed as an alternative to gas generators, with a diverse range of uses for camping, tailgating, running large holiday displays/decorations, job site support, and more. The brand’s own 7.5Ah ARC batteries power the device, pumping out a continuous stream of power up to 2,000W (peaking at 3,000W) with three AC outlets and four USB ports to connect your devices and appliances.

For example, with just this combination, you can run a standard refrigerator for around three hours when the power goes out, with smaller models that you might use for tailgating lasting even longer. What’s nice about this for those who already own EGO Power+ tools and their respective batteries, is that you can keep switching them out with the included two for sustained power output or plug the station into a wall outlet to act as a multi-port battery charger too, making it a nice addition to homes/setups already investing in the brand.

greenworks

Greenworks’ 1,900 PSI electric pressure washer combo kit brings you more utility at $100 for today only

Offered through its Deals of the Day, Best Buy has dropped the price on the Greenworks 1,900 PSI Electric Pressure Washer Combo Kit to $99.99 shipped for today only. Normally going for $220 most of the time, the best opportunities that we’ve seen for this particular package are during these one-day sales, which we last saw appear a few times in August. You’re looking at another chance to score it at one of its best discounted rates, giving you $120 in savings and giving you the third-lowest price we have tracked – only $10 above the all-time low from last year’s Christmas sales.

You won’t find this model directly from Greenworks anymore, with the company focusing on its counterpart with a wheeled frame over the utility that this model provides. You’ll get a far more portable device here while it delivers up to a 1,900 PSI that runs at a 1.2 GPM flow rate. Unlike some of its successors, this combo comes with a wider variety of attachment heads for the wand, giving you more versatility in the ways you can tackle and wash away the grime that’s been building up around the outside of your home (with onboard storage to keep them together and easy to find). The 20 feet of non-marring, high-pressure hose gives you more leeway when it comes to maneuverability, with a surface cleaner attachment for boosted power, and features the brand’s Total Stop System to have the pump automatically shut off when the trigger is not being engaged.

Fall e-bike deals!

Best new Green Deals landing this week

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.

How one man with a hacksaw and an e-bike became a Texas flood ‘hero’

How one man with a hacksaw and an e-bike became a Texas flood 'hero'

Locals call him the “Bicycle hero,” but Texas man Evan Wayne says he’s just doing what he can to help his community after it was cut off due to the recent devastating and deadly flooding tragedy.

When the local Sandy Creek flooded following torrential rains in Texas, it destroyed the only bridge into one community. Residents were cut off from access to supplies, including everything from necessities like food, water, and medicine to basic comforts.

Although the bridge was impassable to cars, volunteers who quickly organized to help the stranded residents found that the damaged bridge could still be traversed on foot. Or in the case of Evan Wayne, it could be covered by an electric bike.

Evan joined hundreds of volunteers who answered the call of grassroots organizers by working together without any official capacity. While many started by hand-pulling garden carts of supplies uphill to reach the stricken community, Evan jury-rigged a trailer to an e-bike and took on as much of the load as he could, helping shuttle much-needed food and gear into the community over hundreds of round-trip journeys.

“This was a dog trailer 48 hours ago. I had a hacksaw, hacked the top off, grabbed some bungee cords, and here we are,” explained Evan in an interview with CBS Austin, while waiting for the next load of gear to be stacked on his trailer.

In the first two days of the operation, he made around 100 round trips each day, shuttling food and water as well as critical rescue supplies. “Right now, I’m waiting on a couple of chainsaws that I’ll bring in for a crew that’s been going at it with handsaws so far.”

In addition to delivering needed supplies, Evan has often found himself moving something even more important: information. “I’ve flagged down medics. I’ve been the guy that goes between Austin EMT and STAR Flight because I’m quicker than cell phones sometimes, people don’t have signal a lot of the time.”

Evan quickly points out that he isn’t the only one helping. “I’ve got an e-bike, but other people are pulling carts. People are walking, people are carrying things. Everyone is doing what they can.” But there’s no doubt that his ability to carry more gear at higher speeds and make hundreds of round-trip journeys so far in and out of the stricken neighborhood has helped impact countless lives.

“This is all volunteers here. They’re just taking it upon themselves to get people where they need to go. I think there’s an umbrella company coming in, taking over tomorrow, but until they get here, people are just taking care of people, which is what you’ve got to do.”

E-bikes proving their worth in emergencies

While many people consider electric bicycles just another form of recreation, they’ve proven to be potent transportation alternatives after natural disasters worldwide.

Not only do their small and efficient batteries make performing hundreds of rescue trips like Evans’ possible, but recharging can be done simply and easily with a solar panel when electricity is out after a disaster. And when gas stations are out of fuel (or simply can’t pump it with the power grid down), e-bikes can keep running while gasoline-powered motorcycles or ATVs run dry.

Electric bicycle batteries have also proven to be a handy source of emergency power after hurricanes and other disasters, often helping owners keep their phones charged up for days to remain in contact with family or rescue services.

While most hope to never need theirs for emergency purposes, electric bicycles have proven their worth in countless disaster scenarios, adding benefits far beyond just alternative transportation, recreation, or fitness riding.

E-bikes can be kept running nearly indefinitely after natural disasters with access to solar recharging equipment

Block leads rebound in fintech stocks as analysts downplay JPMorgan data fee risk

Block leads rebound in fintech stocks as analysts downplay JPMorgan data fee risk

Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey testifies during a remote video hearing held by subcommittees of the U.S. House of Representatives Energy and Commerce Committee on “Social Media’s Role in Promoting Extremism and Misinformation” in Washington, U.S., March 25, 2021.

Handout | Via Reuters

Block jumped more than 5% on Monday, leading a rally in shares of fintech companies as analysts downplayed the threat of JPMorgan Chase’s reported plan to charge data aggregators for access to customer financial information.

The recovery followed steep declines on Friday, after Bloomberg reported that JPMorgan had circulated pricing sheets outlining potential fees for aggregators like Plaid and Yodlee, which connect fintech platforms to users’ bank data.

In a note to clients on Monday, Evercore ISI analysts said the potential new expenses were “far from a ‘business model-breaking’ cost increase.”

In addition to Block’s rise, PayPal climbed 3.5% on Monday after sliding Friday. Robinhood and Shift4 recorded modest gains.

Broader market momentum helped fuel some of the rebound. The Nasdaq closed at a record, and crypto rallied, with bitcoin climbing past $123,000. Ether, solana, and other altcoins also gained.

JPMorgan announces plans to charge for access to customer bank data

Evercore ISI’s analysts said that even if JPMorgan’s changes were implemented, the most immediate effect would be a slight bump in the cost of one-time account setups — perhaps 50 to 60 cents.

Morgan Stanley echoed that view, writing that any impact would be “negligible,” especially for large fintechs that rely more on debit, credit, or stored balances than bank account pulls for transactions.

PayPal doesn’t anticipate much short-term impact, according to a person with knowledge of the issue. The person, who asked not to be named in order to speak about private financial matters, noted that PayPal relies on aggregators primarily for account verification and already has long-term pricing contracts in place.

While smaller fintechs that depend heavily on automated clearing house (ACH) rails or Open Banking frameworks for onboarding and compliance may face real pressure if the fees take effect, analysts said the larger platforms are largely insulated.

EV sales hit 9.1M globally in H1 2025, but the US just hit the brakes

EV sales hit 9.1M globally in H1 2025, but the US just hit the brakes

Renault R4 E-Tech BEV

The global EV market is still charging ahead. According to new numbers from global research firm Rho Motion, 9.1 million EVs were sold worldwide in the first half of 2025, up 28% compared to the same period last year. But not every region is accelerating at the same pace.

China and Europe are doing the heavy lifting

More than half of the world’s EVs this year have been bought in China. That market hit 5.5 million sales in the first six months of 2025 – a 32% jump year-over-year. Around half of new cars bought in China are now electric.

While some Chinese cities’ subsidies have dried up, Rho Motion expects momentum to pick back up later in the year as more funding is released.

In Europe, 2 million EVs were sold in the first half of the year, up 26%. Battery electric vehicle (BEV) sales also rose 26%, thanks in part to affordable models like the Renault 4 (pictured) and 5 entering the market. Plug-in hybrids (PHEVs) weren’t far behind, growing 27% year-to-date. Chinese automakers are leaning into PHEVs as a way to work around the EU’s new tariffs on BEVs.

Spain is leading the pack with EV sales soaring 85% so far this year. Its generous MOVES III incentive program was extended in April and has kept sales strong. The UK and Germany are also seeing solid growth – 32% and 40%, respectively. France, however, is slumping. With subsidies cut, EV sales there have dropped 13%.

North America is stuck in the slow lane

Things aren’t looking quite as bright in North America. EV sales in the US, Canada, and Mexico are up just 3% so far this year.

Mexico is the one bright spot, with a 20% boost. The US is up 6%. But Canada is down a whopping 23%.

And things could get bumpier. On July 4, Trump signed Congress’s big bill into law, which axes all the Inflation Reduction Act EV tax credits. Those consumer credits for EVs now officially end on September 30.

Just over half of the EVs sold in the US this year qualified for those credits. Rho Motion predicts a rush in Q3 before the subsidies disappear – and a decline in sales after that.

Rho Motion data manager Charles Lester said, “With Trump’s latest cuts in his ‘Big Beautiful Bill,’ the US could struggle to see any growth in the EV market overall in 2025.”

Global EV sales snapshot, H1 2025 vs H1 2024

  • Global: 9.1 million (+28%)
  • China: 5.5 million (+32%)
  • Europe: 2.0 million (+26%)
  • North America: 0.9 million (+3%)
  • Rest of world: 0.7 million (+40%)
