Tenways’ new 8-speed chain-drive CGO600 Pro e-bike launches at $1,399 low with bonus savings

Today, Tenways is launching its new chain version of the popular CGO600 Pro e-bike that is getting a $500 launch discount to $1,399 shipped, while its belt-drive model has risen to $1,699 shipped. It will hold the same $1,899 regular price tag as the belt-drive model, which often falls to $1,499 during sales, though we regularly see it down at $1,399 on occasion too. This makes this launch a great opportunity to grab a lightweight commuter at the best price that we can find since the brand hit our radar. You can learn about the changes this new model brings below, or you can learn more through our launch coverage.

The biggest update to Tenways’ new CGO600 Pro e-bike is the switch from the previous Gates carbon belt drive system to an 8-speed Shimano drivetrain, which offers the same rated performance specs as its counterpart. The other big switch up here is the addition of a new Tenways C9 350W rear hub motor over the belt-drive’s Mivice M080 350W motor, which again, claims the same general performance as before. All-in-all you’re still getting an extremely lightweight e-bike weighing between 37 to 41 pounds (depending on your accessory additions), with a 20 MPH top speed, four levels of pedal assistance supported by a torque sensor, and up to 53 miles of travel range on a single charge.

Aside from those big changes, Tenways’ new CGO600 Pro e-bike comes with the same Tektro dual-piston hydraulic disc brakes, puncture-proof tires, LED lighting, internally-routed cables, a compact OLED display, companion app integration – as well as four solid colorways on top of three different size options.

There’s also the added bonus deal that gets you a free mudguard set for the wheels alongside a kickstand (valued at $118) by simply subscribing to Tenways’ newsletter. If you happen to be a medical provider, military member, first responder, or teacher, you can follow the link on the page to get verified and receive an additional $150 off your purchase.

ecoflow Halloween flash sale

Alongside EcoFlow’s ongoing Halloween sale, the brand has launched the first of its scheduled 24-hour flash sales, with today’s offering the DELTA Pro Smart Extra Battery for $1,399 shipped. Normally priced at $2,799, it spent the first half of 2024 repeatedly falling to $1,599 with each discount, until July saw things fall a little lower to $1,499, followed the next month by a drop to $1,399. Since August we’ve seen it keep above $1,469, with today’s flash sale giving you another shot at the 50% markdown that not only returns costs to the all-time lowest price we have tracked but also lets you double up your existing DELTA Pro’s battery capacity for even longer-lasting backup power.

With EcoFlow’s DELTA Pro smart extra battery back at its lowest price, you’ll be getting the best deal to double your power station’s 3,600Wh LiFePO4 capacity to 7,200Wh, giving you longer-lasting backup power to cover off-grid camping needs, small business support (such as food truck appliances), and even powering your home necessities during sudden power outages. There’s a bright LCD screen for quick performance readouts at a glance or you can monitor and control everything from your personal devices through the EcoFlow app.

One thing to keep in mind here in terms of total home backup support – you’ll need to already have a few more DELTA Pro stations with their smart extra battery setups (up to the 25kWh maximum) alongside the transfer switch and power cord to carry your home’s entire breaker, or invest in a larger backup unit.

You’ll get the same recharging rates through this unit that you get with its power station counterpart, with the two sharing a 6,500W MultiCharge, letting them charge/discharge in unison once they’ve been connected together.

Be sure to check out the entire lineup of power stations, bundles, smart devices, and accessories that are benefitting from up to 51% off discounts through the rest of the month, with two more planned 24-hour flash sales on 26, and 29.

Tenways CGO600 Pro e-bike

Hiboy’s 68-mile trekking 2024 P7 Commuter e-bike hits new $850 low in Halloween sale

Hiboy has launched a Halloween sale that is taking up to $850 off a lineup of e-bikes and e-scooters through the rest of the month. A standout this time around is the brand’s new 2024 P7 Commuter Electric Bike which is down at $849.99 shipped. Normally carrying a $1,700 price tag, we saw the very first discount on this new model drop costs back at the end of August, with the brand’s Labor Day sales skipping over it entirely and other minor sales only returning it to $900. Today, prices have finally shifted lower as it receives a 50% markdown that saves you $850, beating out its previous low rate by $50 and landing it at a new all-time low price.

It’s nice to see this entry-level e-bike finally gaining some attention, as it offers an affordable rate alongside a more simplified riding experience that doesn’t take any specialized insights to judge. It delivers a 28 MPH top speed (beating out many higher-end models that cut out at 20/25MPH) with three riding modes that produce some solid commuting power. There’s the standard bike mode letting you pedal yourself, a power-assist mode that supports you to its top speed for up to 68 miles, or you can use the throttle by itself for up to 37 miles of cruising.

The streamlined frame houses the 500W brushless motor and the removable IPX5-rated waterproof 14.5Ah battery and weighs in at 56 pounds, making it a much more manageable model for smaller and less physically-endowed riders (plus it can handle riders up to 265 pounds). There’s a Multifunction LCD Display that gives you the usual at-a-glance data you expect on top of acting as a personal coach for those of you interested in getting back in shape, pushing you to outdo your previous days’ best. Other features include front shocks, 2.2-inch mountain tires, power-off front/rear disc brakes, and an IPX4 water-resistant frame rating.

Tenways CGO600 Pro e-bike

Coming to us through its official Amazon storefront, Goal Zero is giving us another shot at the best rate on its Yeti 1500X Portable Power Station at $779.89 shipped. While usually wearing a $1,300 price tag after falling from its original $1,800 MSRP over the summer, it has more recently kept between $1,100 to $1,234 on Amazon, with its bundle options seeing more frequent discounts than the standalone unit that usually sits for long periods at continuous rates. Today, you can take advantage of this unexpected return of the new low price we first saw a few weeks ago during Prime Day that saves you $520 off its going rate, beating out both Goal Zero’s direct site where it’s sitting at full price, and its previous low price by almost $200. The power station can be bundled with a 100W solar panel for $867 at the moment, or there’s a 200W solar panel bundle option down at $1,290.

Goal Zero’s Yeti 1500X power station delivers a reliable 1,516Wh capacity and an impressive 2,000W of power output (surging up to 3,500W) that can handle devices, appliances, and job site tool needs. For output ports, you’re looking at a nice spread of connection options with two AC ports, two USB-A ports, two USB-C ports, two 6mm ports, a regulated 12V port, and one car port. Recharging the battery back to full takes about 14 hours when plugged into a wall outlet, which can be dropped down to three hours when pairing alongside a Goal Zero Yeti X 600W Power Supply. You can also get the battery refueled by connecting the station to your car, as well as utilizing solar charging with up to 600W max input.

EGO Power+ snow blower

Prep for winter with $100 off an EGO Power+ 56V 21-inch cordless electric snow blower at $549

Amazon is offering more savings towards your winter prep with the EGO Power+ 56V 21-Inch Cordless Electric Snow Blower at $549 shipped. Usually priced at $649 most days, this model has only seen a handful of discounts this year, mostly keeping costs above $551, though we did spot a fall to the $519 low back in May. Today’s deal gives you a solid $100 slashed off the tag and the third-lowest price we have tracked – just $30 above the all-time low.

Winter prep has begun and with the solid savings on this EGO Power+ 56V cordless electric snow blower, it’s a good time to expand your arsenal with quality support. The model’s brushless motor comes powered by two 4.0Ah batteries, giving you the power to clear a 21-inch wide path while chucking the unwanted snow up to 35 feet away. The batteries are rated to give you enough charge to clear out an 8-car driveway that is coated with up to 8 inches of snow on a single charge. It features a steel auger that breaks through thicker ice, with a variable speed control for comfortable handling – plus, there are two bright LED headlights for visibility during jobs in low-lighting hours.

If you want some solid snow-clearing equipment that is on the smaller (and cheaper) side, Amazon is also offering the EGO Power+ Multi-Head Shovel Snow Blower Kit for $349, down from $399. This tool provides a 12-inch wide clearing with the battery giving you enough life to clear out a 4-car driveway that is covered in up to 6 inches of snow – tossing it up to 25 feet out of the way. What’s best is that this package is an exclusive part of the Multi-Head system that allows for interchangeable attachments for various jobs, saving you time and space over having individual tools. If you already have the Power Head, you can find just the snow blower attachment discounted at $159. And for all the snow-clearing options that EGO Power+ provides, head to the landing page here to browse it all in full.

Greenworks 3000 PSI electric pressure washer combo kit

Save $280 on Greenworks’ Pro-tier 3,000 PSI electric pressure washer combo kit at $399 for today only

Through its Deals of the Day, Best Buy is offering the Greenworks 3,000 PSI Electric Pressure Washer Combo Kit for $399 shipped. Normally going for $679 at full price, it’s mostly kept to its MSRP throughout 2024, with savings occasionally coming in the form of longer-term discounts while mostly appearing as part of these one-day sales. It did drop to the $310 low back at the start of the year, but that discount hasn’t reappeared, with the months since seeing drops between $349 and $449. Today, you can score it for your arsenal at a solid 41% discount that saves you $280 off its going rate – $89 above the elusive all-time low. You won’t currently find this combo kit at Amazon either.

This pro-tier Greenworks electric pressure washer arrives with a 14A Trubrushless motor housed within a heavy-duty mobile frame and delivers up to 3,000 PSI of grime-clearing power at up to a 2.0 GPM flow rate. Alongside the onboard storage for the 25 feet of non-marring hose and five nozzle attachments, there’s also a one-gallon detergent tank for extra cleaning support too. As this is a combo kit, you’ll also be receiving an additional short gun kit, microfiber mitts, and a 15-inch surface cleaner to really maximize its potential. If you aren’t concerned with getting the additional gear, Best Buy also has the standard pressure washer package down from $450 to $300.

Mercedes-Benz unveils the new CLA Shooting Brake EV with impressive range

The new CLA Shooting Brake is the first electric Mercedes vehicle available as an estate. It’s more spacious, more capable, and more high-tech than ever.

Meet the new Mercedes CLA Shooting Brake EV

Mercedes introduced the new CLA Shooting Brake on Tuesday, its first electric estate car. The Shooting Brake arrives as the second EV from the luxury brand’s new entry-level family of vehicles.

The electric wagon takes the best of the new CLA, which was revealed just a few weeks ago, and adds more space and capability.

It’s also bigger than the current CLA Shooting Brake, offering a more spacious interior. The new EV measures 4,723 mm in length, or 35 mm longer than the outgoing model.

With an extended wheelbase of 2,790 mm (+61 mm), the electric version offers 14 mm more headroom and 11 mm more legroom in the front. Rear passengers gain 7 mm of headroom but lose 6 mm of legroom compared to the current model.

Boot space is 455 L, which is 50 L more than the CLA sedan, but 30 L less than the outgoing Shooting Brake. However, it does include an added Frunk (front trunk) for an extra 101 L of storage space.

With all seats folded, overall storage space is 1,290 L. It also comes with standard roof rails, which Mercedes claims can easily fit surfboards or bicycles with a 75 kg (165 lbs) load capacity.

Inside, the new Shooting Brake is nearly identical to the CLA Sedan. It features the new Mercedes-Benz Operating System (MB.OS) with its fourth-gen infotainment.

The setup includes a 14″ infotainment and 10.25″ driver display screens. An extra 14″ passenger screen is available. A trim piece with star-pattern graphics replaces it if not. All three screens are powered by the latest-gen chips and graphics from Unity Game Engine.

Powered by the new Mercedes-Benz Modular Architecture and an 85 kWh battery, the new Shooting Brake EV offers up to 473 miles (761 km) WLTP range.

It will be available in single and dual-motor powertrains. The base CLA 250+ Shooting Brake has 268 hp (200 kW) output and a WLTP range of up to 473 miles (761 km). Meanwhile, the dual-motor CLA 350 4MATIC Shooting Brake has combined 349 hp (260 kW) and a range of up to 454 miles (730 km).

Based on its 800V architecture, the new electric estate can add 193 miles (310 km) WLTP driving range within 10 minutes. Mercedes said that should be plenty to get from Geneva to Milan or Berlin to Hamburg.

Mercedes will introduce new EV variants in early 2026, followed by a 1.5 L hybrid model. Prices will be revealed closer to launch, but it’s expected to start slightly higher than the current model. The current CLA Shooting Brake starts at around €40,000 ($46,500) in Europe.

Following the new CLA and CLA Shooting Brake, Mercedes-Benz plans to launch two SUVs. Check back soon for more info on the upcoming lineup.

U.S. moving fast to secure access to critical minerals to counter China’s dominance of market, Pentagon says

U.S. moving fast to secure access to critical minerals to counter China's dominance of market, Pentagon says

MP Materials CEO on deal with the Defense Department

The Pentagon is taking immediate action to boost critical mineral production in the U.S. and counter China’s dominance of the supply chain for rare earth magnets, a defense official told CNBC on Tuesday.

The Defense Department last week agreed to buy a direct equity stake in MP Materials, which will make the U.S. government the miner’s largest shareholder. MP operates the only rare earth mine in the U.S. located at Mountain Pass, California, and a magnet plant in Forth Worth, Texas.

When asked whether the Pentagon is considering similar investments in other U.S. mining companies, the defense official said it is looking at opportunities to strengthen domestic critical mineral production.

“Rebuilding the critical minerals and rare earth magnet sectors of the U.S. industrial base won’t happen overnight, but DoD is taking immediate action to streamline processes and identify opportunities to strengthen critical minerals production,” official said in a statement.

Rare earths are used in weapons such as the F-35 warplane, drones and submarines among other other military platforms. The U.S. was almost entirely dependent on foreign countries for rare earths in 2023, with China representing about 70% of imports, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.

MP Materials CEO James Litinsky told CNBC last week that he views the public-private partnership with the Defense Department as a model for other companies in industries that are important for national security but struggle to compete against the state-backed enterprises in China.

“I’d like to think that this is sort of the first, it’s a model,” Litinsky told CNBC’s “Squawk on the Street” on Thursday. “We have to deliver at MP and show that this is an incredible route to go. But it’s a new way forward to accelerate free markets, to get the supply chain on shore that we want.”

Interior Secretary Doug Burgum said in April that the U.S. government was looking at taking direct equity stakes in critical mineral and rare earth miners to break China’s dominance. The Trump administration is also looking at stockpiling critical minerals and creating a sovereign risk insurance fund to protect companies investments’ in federally approved projects, Burgum said at an energy conference in Oklahoma City.

The Pentagon makes long-term investments in mining, processing and refining critical minerals, the defense official told CNBC. It has invested $540 million so far to support a critical mineral and rare earth supply chain in the U.S. and allied nations, the official said.

“That is significant, and DoD will continue to such efforts in accordance with congressional appropriations and statutory authorities,” the official said.

Crypto super PAC Fairshake reports $141 million war chest

Crypto super PAC Fairshake reports 1 million war chest

Fairshake, the cryptocurrency industry’s most powerful political action committee, announced Tuesday that it now holds more than $141 million in cash on hand, underscoring the sector’s growing influence as Congress takes up landmark legislation this week.

The total, which includes liquid assets like crypto, stock, and cash, reflects a surge of donations from digital asset executives and firms, including a fresh $25 million from Coinbase.

Fairshake and its two affiliated PACs — Defend American Jobs and Protect Progress — have raised $109 million since Election Day in 2024 and $52 million during just the first half of this year.

“We are building an aggressive, targeted strategy for next year to ensure that pro-crypto voices are heard in key races across the country,” said spokesperson Josh Vlasto.

Ethereum succeeded beyond anyone's expectations, says network co-founder Vitalik Buterin at EthCC

The announcement lands in the middle of what lawmakers are calling “Crypto Week” on Capitol Hill, as the House begins deliberations on a trio of long-awaited bills that would define how digital assets are regulated.

The legislation includes the dividing of oversight, setting new stablecoin rules, and a bill banning the creation of a central bank digital currency.

The crypto industry is no longer just lobbying for survival, it is shaping the political landscape. Fairshake saw nearly every candidate it backed in 2024 win their race.

“We stuck to our core strategy from Day 1,” Fairshake previously told CNBC. “We supported pro-crypto candidates and opposed those who played politics with jobs and innovation, and won.”
