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 shippedafter 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.

MINI x Deus Ex Machina Skeg electric concept lightens the mood

MINI x Deus Ex Machina Skeg electric concept lightens the mood

MINI has partnered with lifestyle brand, Deus Ex Machina, to develop this. It’s called the Skeg, and it’s a high-performance, racing-inspired electric concept car that’s sure to lighten the mood – by shedding fully 15% of its mass in the quest for speed.

One of a pair of exclusive, one-off concepts based on MINI’s John Cooper Works cars. The Deus Ex Machina Skeg celebrates MINI’s storied racing history with what the company calls, “a clean, minimal, and quiet rebellion,” that draws on materials, technologies, and philosophies from the world of surfing.

The electric MINI JCW Skeg is stripped to its essentials, with much of the steel and aluminum bits replaced with lightweight fiberglass to maximize acceleration while driving the minimalist aesthetic home. The end result weighs 15% less than the standard car – but makes the same stout 190 kW (258 hp) as the production car.

Surf’s up

The interior is stripped back to the barest essentials, reflecting BMW’s vision of a surf culture that prioritizes function over form. MINI claims the end result resembles a mobile surf shop, with fiberglass trays for wetsuits, specially shaped bins, neoprene seats, and other touches that “bring the surf culture into the interior.”

For their part, the BMW and MINI styling team seems pretty proud of its minimalistic electric endeavor. “In this extraordinary collaboration … every single detail has been crafted with artisanal precision and expertise,” says Holger Hampf, Head of MINI Design. “This has resulted in unique characters that are clearly perceived as belonging together through their distinctive design language and use of graphics.”

The concept retains the production version’s 54.2 kWh li-ion battery pack, up to 250 of WLTP range with the production aero kit, sprints from 0-100 km (62 mph) in just 5.9 seconds. With 15% less mass, though, that should jump to more than 255 miles, with 0-60 times dropping below 5.5 seconds.

I dig it – but I’d skip the surf bits and just appreciate the raw composite, minimalist interior look for what it is. Take a look at the image gallery, below, then let us know what you think of MINI’s Skeg concept in the comments.

Volvo Penta teams up with e-power to equip Boels with next-gen Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS)

Volvo Penta teams up with e-power to equip Boels with next-gen Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS)

Veteran marine and industrial power solutions company Volvo Penta has joined forces with energy solutions provider e-power to build battery energy storage systems (BESS). Volvo Penta’s battery systems for energy storage will power BESS units built by e-power that can be catered to a range of applications, most notably construction rental clients like Boels Rentals in Europe.

Volvo Penta is a provider of sustainable power solutions that currently serves land and sea applications under the Volvo Group umbrella. As more and more of the world goes all-electric, the global manufacturer has also adapted, sharing cultural values with Volvo Group to engineer new and innovative sustainable power solutions.

Nearly 100 years later, Volvo Penta remains an industry leader in marine propulsion systems and industrial engines. As more and more of the world goes all-electric, the Swedish manufacturer has also adapted, sharing cultural values with Volvo Group to engineer new and innovative sustainable power solutions.

For example, all Volvo Penta diesel engines now run on hydro-treated vegetable oil (HVO), reducing well-to-wheel emissions by up to 90% across the marine and industrial power industries. On the zero-emissions side, Volvo Penta has expressed its dedication to fossil-free power solutions, including battery electric components to serve heavy-duty applications such as terminal tractors, forklifts, drill rigs, and feed mixers, to name a few.

To leverage its battery electric value chain, Volvo Penta has also ventured into battery systems for energy storage (or BESS subsystems). These energy-dense, purpose-built BESS subsystems can provide portable, sustainable energy for all-electric charging and reduce grid dependency.

Volvo Penta to deploy battery systems for energy storage

Volvo Penta recently announced a strategic partnership with e-power, a Belgian power solutions provider. Together, Volvo Penta and e-power will develop a scalable Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) for Boels Rental.

The collaboration continues a long-standing partnership between all three companies. Boels – one of the largest construction rental companies is a long-time customer of e-power generators that utilize Volvo Penta engines. As the company shifts toward electrification and sustainability, it will again turn to those companies to deliver reliable performance.

Volvo Penta’s BESS subsystem comprises battery packs, a Battery Management System (BMS), DC/DC converters, and thermal management, combining to offer a compact, high-density, and transport-friendly solution optimized for rental operations. The company shared that this BESS design is integration-ready, enabling other OEMs like e-power to adapt and scale systems to customer-specific needs. Per e-power business support director, Jens Fets:

We’ve built our reputation on reliability and efficient power systems. Working again with Volvo Penta, this time on battery energy storage, allows us to meet the growing demand for energy in a silent, low-emissions, compact and mobile design—especially in rental applications.

The deployment of these new battery energy storage systems will help Boels cater to its customers’ growing demand for clean, silent, and mobile energy solutions in construction and other industrial applications. 

Aside from being more quickly adaptable to customer needs, Volvo Penta says its BESS architecture marks an overall shift in rental power systems. This is welcome news for all who support a cleaner, more sustainable future across all industries.

2026 Mercedes-Benz GLC EV exterior leaks ahead of schedule

2026 Mercedes-Benz GLC EV exterior leaks ahead of schedule

That didn’t take long! Just a few hours after Mercedes revealed the screen-heavy interior of its upcoming 2026 GLC EV, photos of the new crossover’s exterior – and that controversial grille! – leaked on Instagram and Reddit. We’ve got them here.

Two days ahead of the GLC EV’s officially schedule global debut, images that reportedly show the new 2026 Mercedes undisguised have leaked on Instagram and Reddit. They show the blocky new light-up grille on the nose of a very smooth, jellybean-like crossover shape that, despite Mercedes’ insistence that it’s moving away from the EQ series’ design language, looks an awful lot like an EQ Mercedes.

Check out the leaked images from kindleauto’s Instagram account, below, and see if you agree with that assessment.

If you need to see more before you feel comfortable commenting on the new SUV’s looks, there’s a few more angles over on the r/mercedes_benz subreddit.

As with everything else on the internet, take those unofficial images with a grain of salt and maybe wait until the GLC EV’s official reveal in a few days’ time before casting your final vote on the new look – but there’s very little reason to believe the new Mercedes will look terribly different from what you see here.

Will the new grille and tech-forward interior with its massive, 39″ screen and MB.OS software be enough to turn the tide for Mercedes-Benz, enabling it to finally gain some traction in the electric crossover market? That remains to be seen, but the recently updated Tesla Model Y and crisply-styled new BMW iX3 with its 500 miles of range will make it an uphill battle, for sure.

We got a sneak peek at the new GLC back in July, when Mercedes-Benz Group CEO, Ola Källenius said that, “We’re not just introducing a new model – we’re electrifying our top seller.” Back then, we learned that the new GLC EV would have a wheelbase 3.1″ longer than the current ICE-powered model, as well as more head- and leg-room for its occupants and an extra 4.5 cubic feet (for 61.4 total) of cargo space.

Källenius also promised an innovative new 800V electric architecture and the latest battery tech, which will enable the electric GLC to add around 260 km (~160 miles) of WLTP range in just ten minutes thanks to more than 300 kW of charging capability.
