Segway returns its Xafari e-bike with an 88-mile range and Apple Find My in a new red colorway to its $2,000 low (Save $400)
While we have already seen a few periods of price cuts on Segway’s new Xafari e-bike, you can now score it in an all-new red colorway for the first time at $1,999.99 shipped. This model opened for preorder with a $2,400 price tag and didn’t see its first discount until the top of June when it fell to $2,200. Two weeks ago the brand’s Prime Day sale dropped things further to the $2,000 low, with it not only returning here today but also coming as the official introduction to this new red colorway. While the savings last you can keep $400 in your pocket, with it back at the best rate we have tracked to date.
Segway designed the Xafari e-bike as an all-terrain ride for folks at every skill level carrying the tagline “for everyone, yet far from ordinary.” Now sporting this stunning cherry red colorway, it arrives with a 936Wh battery powering the 750W rear hub motor to hit 20 MPH top speeds for up to 88 miles of pedal-assisted travel (with 12 levels that come supported by a torque sensor). What’s more, this model reaches that kind of range on just six hours of charging. One of the biggest standout features here, though, is the inclusion of the brand’s Intelligent Ride System that brings high-end smart features to your experience, including Airlock wireless proximity security, an alarm system, Apple Find My, GPS, adaptive pedal assistance, and more.

There’s also been plenty of forays into more comfortable elements with the Segway Xafari Red e-bike, like the ergonomic positioning providing less fatigue on your back as you go along, as well as adjustable compression damping, all-terrain Kenda tires, a lock-out fork, and 80mm front/70mm rear suspensions. That’s not all, as there’s the rear cargo rack to carry packages, bags, and the like, Tektro hydraulic disc brakes, front/rear lighting that obviously activates upon braking too – plus, a sophisticated HQ for controls via the integrated multi-color smart TFT display that has a 20W USB A/C port to charge your phone, among plenty more.

EcoFlow flash sale takes 56% off DELTA 2 Max bundle with 500W alternator charger at $999 low
As part of its ongoing July Monthly Madness Sale that is running through the end of the month, EcoFlow has launched the next of its 24-hour flash sales with two power station units getting up to 56% taken off their tags alongside a bonus 500 EcoCredits offer for $1. Among the two power stations, things start with the DELTA 2 Max Portable Power Station that comes bundled with a 500W alternator charger at $999 shipped. This bundle would normally run you $2,288 at full price, and it’s quite the rare deal as we usually see this station with the 800W charger getting discounts, which is currently sitting at a $1,049 low at Amazon. With the two chargers often varying by a $50 price difference, the 56% markdown during this short-term sale is appropriately priced, with $1,289 in savings cut from the tag to land it at the best price we have tracked.

This station would normally run you $799 were it at full price, which we saw dropping as low as $449 in Lightning sales until Prime Day when it hit the $399 low. If you missed out on those lower rates, you’re still looking at a solid 41% markdown here today, cutting $330 off the tag at the third-best price we have tracked.

Amazon is now offering the Worx 40V 17-inch Cordless Intellicut Lawn Mower with two 4.0Ah batteries at $269.99 shipped, after clipping the on-page $30 off coupon. This is an older but still reliable mowing solution that won’t weigh as heavily on budgets usually fetches $330 at full price, which we’ve mostly seen dropping down every few months to this same rate. We’ve seen it go a tad lower in the past to $266 and the $260 in April and May, while Prime Day saw it drop to $240 for four days, with today’s deal otherwise being the best price we have tracked, with $60 cut from the tag.
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.

Ford is testing a new electrified Mustang that may not be as electric as it seems. The next-gen Mustang is apparently already in development. Here’s what we know about it so far.
Is Ford launching an electrified Mustang Hybrid?
After postponing around $12 billion in planned spending on electric vehicles in 2023, Ford’s CEO Jim Farley said the company would lean more into hybrids.
Farley told investors and analysts on the company’s Q3 2023 earnings call that he’s “so thankful we have kept our foot on the gas to freshen our ICE and HEV products as we enter a changing market.”
Ford’s CFO, John Lawler, reaffirmed the company’s plans later that year, saying the company would use hybrids as a bridge to fully electric vehicles.

“With EV adoption slower, hybrids are going to be a bigger part,” Lawler said, adding that Ford “became a little bit complacent” on hybrid tech. Last year, Ford said it would introduce a hybrid version for every gas-powered vehicle in its lineup by 2030.

Ford is apparently making good on its promise with a new Mustang hybrid in development. According to a new report from Ford Authority, the Mustang hybrid, internally code-named S650E, is in development, and prototypes are already being tested.
The report claims the new Mustang has entered the Technology Prove-Out stage, suggesting it will be electrified to some degree.

Whether it will be a traditional hybrid or a plug-in hybrid vehicle (PHEV) remains unclear. Although the company has yet to confirm it, Farley said that a “partially electrified Mustang coupe” was a strong possibility, and Ford’s Performance unit is already testing hybrid powertrains.
Electrek’s Take
Will the new Mustang hybrid sit alongside the Mach-E in Ford’s lineup? Ford’s electric crossover SUV remains one of the top-selling EVs in the US, so it’s unlikely to go anywhere, but it is due for a refresh with so many new rivals entering the market.
Through August, Ford sold 34,319 Mustang Mach-Es (+6.7% YOY) in the US. The gas-powered Mustang continues to fall out of favor, with 31,015 units sold in the first eight months of 2025, 8.3% fewer than during the same period in 2024.
With Hyundai, Stellantis, Honda, and several other global OEMs planning to launch new hybrid models in the US, the Ford Mustang hybrid doesn’t come as a total surprise. We will still have to wait for the official word from Ford, but a new electrified Stang seems more than likely.

Shares of Transocean plunged Thursday after the offshore driller announced the sale of a large number of shares at a discount.
Transocean is planning to sell 125 million shares at a price of $3.05, significantly lower than Wednesday’s close of $3.64. It is offering 25 million shares more than it originally planned.
The Swiss company’s stock was last down 14.8% premarket. The offering is expected to close on Friday.
Transocean expects to book about $381 million from the sale. It will use the proceeds to pay off debt.

New York City’s new 15 mph speed limit for electric bikes is officially set to take effect next month, in what city officials claim is a move to improve street safety. But not everyone is convinced the crackdown is targeting the real threat on the roads.
The new limit, approved earlier this year, applies to e-bikes, mopeds, and other micromobility vehicles operating in city bike lanes. Riders caught exceeding 15 mph could face warnings or citations, though the exact enforcement strategy remains murky. The NYPD says it will focus on “education first,” but given the city’s track record, that could just be the calm before the ticket storm.
The rule comes amid growing concerns from some residents and officials about rising speeds among e-bike riders, especially delivery workers who often rely on throttle-equipped bikes to meet tight deadlines. But while the new speed cap is aimed at micromobility vehicles, there’s a noticeable omission: cars, trucks, and SUVs, which continue to be allowed to travel at 25 mph – and in practice, often much faster – even though they pose exponentially more risk to vulnerable road users and are responsible for orders of magnitude more deaths each year.
It’s a move that raises eyebrows and has resulted in thousands of publicly-submitted comments that the New York Department of Transportation has seemingly ignored.

After all, the majority of traffic fatalities in New York City don’t involve e-bikes. They involve cars. And while some e-bike riders certainly ride irresponsibly, the blanket limit nearly cuts in half the more widely accepted e-bike speed limits used around the US, and doesn’t even apply to pedal bikes, which can easily exceed such speeds despite nearly identical average weights when factoring in the vehicle and rider. Not to mention, it ignores the critical role that e-bikes play in reducing traffic congestion and emissions, especially in the delivery and commuting sectors.
So while New York is slowing down its most efficient and sustainable form of urban transport, it’s letting the real heavyweights keep their speed. If the goal is safety, then it’s fair to ask: why aren’t cars being asked to go 15 mph too?
Because once again, it seems the rules are written for the powerful – not the vulnerable.
