EcoFlow RIVER 2 Pro Portable Power Station

EcoFlow launches multi-day flash offers on DELTA and RIVER power stations + EcoCredits purchase from $1

As we approach the end of EcoFlow’s ongoing Mega Sale through April 25, the brand has launched its last and longest flash sale offers, taking up to 48% off three units while also offering a major EcoCredits purchase opportunity. Alongside the return of the DELTA Pro 3 bundle we saw on Friday, you can now grab the RIVER 2 Pro Portable Power Station for $349 shipped. Normally fetching $599 outside of discounts, we first saw it come down to this rate during similar flash offers in the first phase of this sale. It’s returning as a second-chance opportunity for $250 in savings, giving you a solid traveling companion at the best rate we have tracked. It’s also beating out the pricing we’re seeing from Amazon by $10.

A more ample backup solution among the brand’s RIVER series, the RIVER 2 Pro is ideal for short-term needs at campsites, on road trips, and the like, providing you with a 768Wh LiFePO4 capacity to cover your essential devices and appliances. Through its eight output ports it can deliver up to 1,600W of power, with X-boost tech allowing it to “run 80% of home appliances.” It’s a great option for those who often make last-minute plans too, as plugging it into a wall outlet regains the battery in about 70 minutes, with it also having the options for USB-C and car port recharging, as well as a max 220W solar input, which can put it back at full in 3.5 hours to 4.5 hours in sunny conditions.

EcoFlow’s other flash sale offers ending April 25:

EcoFlow’s massive lineup of Mega Sale deals will only be lasting through April 25, complete with larger EcoCredit rewards, extra savings, and plenty of low prices – don’t miss it while it’s still around!

Aiper Surfer S2 Solar Pool Skimmer

Keep floating debris out of your pool with Aiper’s Surfer S2 solar skimmer back at its $320 low

Through its official Amazon storefront, Aiper is offering its latest Surfer S2 Solar Pool Skimmer for $319.98 shipped. Only on the market for a few months now, it usually carries a $540 price tag, which we first saw drop to this same rate at the top of February, which repeated last month in Amazon’s Big Spring Sale, and has otherwise kept between $340 and $400. You can pick one up while the $220 in savings last for your pool at the lowest price we have tracked, with the price also matching direct from Aiper’s website.

Building upon the success of its predecessor, Aiper’s second-generation Surfer S2 pool skimmer has been upgraded with features like the DebrisGuard anti-leak design, an improved brushless motor, an expanded suction inlet, and a 150-micron filtration system – all to provide better performance when collecting small and large debris alike from your pool’s surface. It’s also been given a larger battery that ramps up its runtime to 35 hours, with recharging available through the onboard solar panel for sunny days or its DC adapter as a backup option.

Working alongside the brand’s algorithms, it’s been equipped with dual dToF sensors to improve its obstacle avoidance – plus, there are even four retractable anti-standing columns to keep it from getting stuck on pool steps as it works. Should the columns fail to impede any such situations, the programming here knows to use its automatic self-rescue capabilities to get it back into the water to continue on its routines. There are the usual smart controls through the companion app that you’d expect, allowing you to monitor and adjust settings with the added bonus of being able to manually steer it.

Be sure to also check out the ongoing discounts across Aiper’s robotic pool cleaners that work right alongside the above pool skimmer to keep your pool clear and swim-ready, as well as the first discount we’re seeing on the new HydroComm 24/7 Smart Pool Monitor that provides 5-in-1 testing for your pool’s pH, ORP, EC, TDS, and temperature, as well as coming solar-powered.

Greenworks 40V 12-inch Cordless Electric Chainsaw

Expand your arsenal with this 2nd-gen Greenworks 40V 12-inch cordless chainsaw at $128

Amazon is offering the 2nd generation Greenworks 40V 12-inch Cordless Compact Chainsaw for $127.99 shipped. Coming down from its usual $170 price tag, discounts have been repeating to this same rate throughout the months since July of last year, with things before then only having gone as low as $120. Today’s deal is a 25% markdown off the going rate, saving you $42 while equipping your arsenal with the latest of the brand’s 12-inch compact chainsaws.

Coming in a more compact form, this 40V Greenworks chainsaw makes a reliable companion for firewood needs at home or while camping, as well as storm cleanup with hurricane season on the horizon. Powered by the included 2.0Ah battery, it sports a 12-inch bar and chain with an auto-oiler to ensure everything remains lubricated and running smoothly, delivering up to 50 cuts on a single charge. It weighs in at just six pounds, making it easy to operate for most users, complete with a safety lock and push-button start to save you time and energy over the frustrations caused by pull-strings.

Royal Enfield’s Flying Flea electric motorcycles launching early next year

Royal Enfield's Flying Flea electric motorcycles launching early next year

Royal Enfield’s eagerly anticipated electric motorcycles, unveiled late last year under the Flying Flea brand, are now confirmed to hit the market early next year. Eicher Motors Managing Director B. Govindarajan narrowed down the release window, confirming that the two models currently in testing, the FF-C6 and S6, will debut in the fourth quarter of the fiscal year 2026, corresponding to January through March 2026.

The announcement provides a clear timeline for eager e-motorcycling enthusiasts who have closely followed Royal Enfield’s pivot to electric mobility. Previously, the company had remained relatively tight-lipped about exact launch dates and even many of the upcoming bikes’ key specs, only hinting that the electric motorcycle project was progressing steadily.

The Flying Flea name is a historical nod, reviving memories of Royal Enfield’s lightweight motorcycle originally used during World War II for airborne operations. Just like its iconic namesake, the new Flying Flea electric motorcycles are expected to be compact, accessible, and user-friendly, aiming at urban commuters and younger riders seeking a blend of heritage styling with modern electric propulsion.

The FF-C6 and S6 represent two distinct offerings within Royal Enfield’s electric lineup, signaling an ambitious start for the company’s electrification strategy. While specific technical details remain scarce, previous hints suggest that the models will prioritize practicality, affordability, and moderate performance suited to daily commuting rather than high-end, performance-oriented segments.

However, with a dearth of solid specs regarding power, range, or pricing, it’s too soon to tell how warmly the bikes may be received during their upcoming launch.

This cautious yet clear step into electric mobility aligns with Royal Enfield’s traditional ethos of delivering approachable motorcycles that combine classic design with dependable performance.

The company, owned by Eicher Motors, has enjoyed success internationally over the last decade, particularly with models like the Classic 350, Meteor 350, and Himalayan, which have resonated strongly with both new and experienced riders. The Flying Flea line is likely destined for international markets as well, though may launch solely in India first as Royal Enfield works to ramp up production.

Royal Enfield’s venture into electric motorcycles also follows a strategic €50 million investment by Eicher Motors into Stark Future, a cutting-edge electric motorcycle startup based near Barcelona, which likely helped Royal Enfield’s technical team.

For example, at the Flying Flea brand’s worldwide unveiling at the Milan Motorcycle Show last year, one of the company’s driving prototypes was spotted using several Stark VARG powertrain components to complete a working model for demonstration.

With electric motorcycles rapidly gaining popularity worldwide due to their efficiency, lower maintenance costs, and environmental advantages, Royal Enfield’s entry into this market comes at an opportune time. The company’s robust global presence and dedicated fan base provide a solid foundation for launching these models successfully.

With the success of relatively smaller electric motorcycles compared to the struggles of larger sport bike e-motorcycle companies, the Flying Flea appears positioned for a more welcoming market.

Given Royal Enfield’s knack for delivering motorcycles with a blend of nostalgic aesthetics and modern functionality, expectations are high for the FF-C6 and S6 to carve out their own distinct niche in the electric two-wheeler market. For now though, fans are still eagerly awaiting more information and details regarding the performance and price of the upcoming electric two-wheelers.

XPeng just teased its next-generation P7 sedan and it is SLEEK [Video]

XPeng just teased its next-generation P7 sedan and it is SLEEK [Video]

It’s been less than a month since XPeng Motors began teasing a new camouflage sedan codenamed the E29. This morning (or this evening if you’re in China), XPeng unveiled the mystery sedan as its next-generation P7. This vast redesign of the Chinese automaker’s flagship BEV sedan is a bona fide stunner, and makes me wish I could drive one of my own in the US.

The P7 debuted at the Shanghai Auto Show in 2019 as XPeng’s first sedan and its second production model behind the now-discontinued G3 SUV. It was also the first XPeng model I ever drove during a trip to the Netherlands in 2022.

In its first two years of production, which began in 2020, XPeng built over 100,000 units of its flagship sedan, and the sport vehicle has remained a pillar in its global sales. Since its launch in China, we’ve seen XPeng deliver a 2023 refresh called the P7i and the P7+, complete with pure camera vision ADAS, which launched last fall as “the world’s first AI car.”

According to an internal letter sent out by XPeng founder, chairman, and CEO He Xiaopeng last December, the Chinese automaker has big plans for 2025 and beyond. It aims to become a globally recognized brand with a presence in over 60 countries by the end of the year.

The internal letter also stated XPeng’s plans to launch a new or facelifted model nearly every quarter in 2025. In Q1, we saw the debut of the G7 SUV, starting at an ultra-competitive price of around $34,000 in China. Since then, XPeng has been teasing another new model, codenamed “E29,” spotted driving around Guangzhou, where XPeng is headquartered, in camouflage last month.

Today, XPeng confirmed the E29 is not a bespoke model, but instead a completely new generation of the P7, dreamt up by Chief Designer Rafik Ferrag, who led the creation of the original 2020 model. Have a look:

XPeng shares first images of its stunning new P7 design

XPeng shared the initial images seen above alongside a brief press release outlining its exciting new design language as explained by its designer, Rafik Ferrag, who began teasing the new model on his own social media accounts earlier this week:

I’m very excited that the first official pictures and video are now visible to everyone. The original P7 was a milestone for XPENG and a turning point in China’s EV landscape. With this new generation, we set out to design a pure electric sports sedan that could amaze at every angle. This car is our dream—refined through countless iterations. In my eyes, the all-new XPENG P7 is a work of art, shaped with emotion and purpose.

The Chinese automaker explained that the new 5-seat P7 coupe reflects Ferrag’s “evolving design philosophy” and has been in development for the past five years. XPeng founder He Xiaopeng called it a “major upgrade” for the brand’s next leap in BEV technology, blending AI with luxury and the company’s new Turing Smart Driving system.

What specific technology the next-generation P7 holds remains unknown to the public at this time, but we were told more details will be revealed later. For now, we have our first official peek at this new futuristic model and a teaser video, which you can view below.

If the new P7 represents XPeng’s design language going forward, there should be many more exciting reveals in 2025 and beyond as the brand continues to expand into a globally recognized name.

Oil prices fall after Trump raises hopes of a U.S.-Iran nuclear deal

Oil prices fall after Trump raises hopes of a U.S.-Iran nuclear deal

Oil prices fell sharply on Thursday on expectations that the U.S. and Iran may soon reach a deal over Tehran’s nuclear program.

International benchmark Brent crude futures with July expiry were last seen trading 3.2% lower at $63.99 a barrel, paring some of its earlier losses. U.S. West Texas Intermediate futures, meanwhile, stood at $60.98, down 3.4% for the session.

Speaking in Doha, Qatar during his Middle East trip, U.S. President Donald Trump said the U.S. was getting close to securing a nuclear deal with Iran.

“We’re in very serious negotiations with Iran for long-term peace,” Trump said.

His comments come shortly after a top advisor to Iran’s supreme leader told NBC News that the OPEC producer was ready to sign a nuclear deal with certain conditions in exchange for the lifting of economic sanctions.

The prospect of a U.S.-Iran nuclear deal is expected to have profound implications for oil markets.

“The overnight development of a possible nuclear deal is the sole reason for the morning’s weakness. If an agreement is reached, Iran agrees to halt enriching weapon grade uranium and the deal is effectively enforced, which is hard to believe, then the Persian Gulf country’s crude oil exports can rise by as much as 1 [million barrels per day],” Tamas Varga, an analyst at brokerage PVM, told CNBC via email.

“It sounds price negative, but its impact will possibly be mitigated by OPEC+ rolling back on its plan to release barrels back to the market faster than originally planned,” he added.

OPEC and non-OPEC partners, an influential energy alliance known as OPEC+, has surprised markets by raising supply in recent months.

Led by Saudi Arabia, the group agreed in early May to increase output by another 411,000 barrels per day in June. The move came one month after OPEC+ agreed to boost production in May by the same amount.

Economic pain

Iran’s economy has deteriorated dramatically in the years since Trump in 2018 withdrew the U.S. from the Iran nuclear deal, formally titled the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action. The agreement was brokered in 2015 along with Russia, China, the EU and U.K. under the Obama administration to curb and stringently monitor Iran’s nuclear activity in exchange for sanctions relief.

Already facing several years of protests, significantly weakened currency, and a cost-of-living crisis, the Islamic Republic was hit with the hammer blow of losing its main ally in the Middle East last year, when the Assad regime collapsed in Syria. Tehran’s archenemy Israel, meanwhile, killed most of the senior leadership of Hezbollah, Iran’s proxy in Lebanon.

Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was formerly staunchly opposed to negotiations with the U.S., but senior Iranian government officials reportedly launched a coordinated effort to change his mind, framing the decision as critical to the regime’s survival.
