Review: The ST3 Pro e-scooter brings serious suspension alongside smart controls and more as Navee’s latest flagship

As a long-time rider of Segway electric scooters, my expectations are quite high for new brands looking to climb their way up to the standard that the household-name has set in stone at this point. Only within the last few months did Navee come onto my radar, with the brand offering me the chance to test out its latest flagship model, the ST3 Pro Electric Scooter, which has been quite the surprise, to say the least. At first, it seemed like it was full of gimmicks that were destined to fail, but after riding around for several weeks now, I can happily say that Segway may just have found a new challenger. Head below to get my hands-on impressions of this high-end e-scooter that still retains accessible pricing for the stunning list of features.

Ride1Up’s Labor Day Sale offers first savings on new VORSA modular multi-use e-bike with Apple Find My and more at $1,595

Ride1Up has launched its Labor Day Sale running through the holiday with up to $500 being taken off the tags of various e-bike models. Among the offers we’re seeing, there’s a notable first-time discount hitting Ride1Up’s latest release, the VORSA Modular Multi-Use e-bike at $1,595 shipped. This new versatility-inspired model hit the scene back in April carrying a $1,695 price tag, with this sale being the very first chance at cash savings that we have tracked. It may not be much, but $100 off the tag is still nice, and if you buy two together, that savings increases to $300 off your cart total. Head below to learn more about this model and the others seeing discounts during this holiday event.

Bringing along a more customizable riding experience, as well as some smart features, Ride1Up’s VORSA e-bike sports a modular design, primarily with the removable rear cargo rack that can support packages and passengers up to 150 pounds, as well as a multi-point adjustable stem and removable fenders. It sports a 750W AKM hub motor with 95nm of torque, which is the brand’s strongest hill-climbing motor, alongside a lockable/removable 15Ah Reention Flamingo battery. You’ll be able to reach 20 MPH speeds normally, with an off-road mode unlocking its top 28 MPH speed, while the battery provides you with up to 60 miles of pedal-assisted travel. What’s more, it has a dual-sensor system that lets you switch between a torque sensor and a cadence sensor as you ride.

The Ride1Up VORSA e-bike comes with Apple Find My integrations so you’ll always be able to track it down in case of misplacing it or theft, with a bunch of solid features like the Star Union hydraulic disc brakes that have an electric motor cut off, a 25A water-resistant resin potted 12 Mosfet MIVICE controller, Schwalbe Sam Smart or Continental Ruban 2.6 Touring Tires (varying by frame style), fenders to go over each, a Shimano Acera 8-speed derailleur, a stem-integrated front light, a brake-activated integrated rear light, a smart color display, and more.

Lectric’s new XP4 750 folding utility e-bikes get biggest bundle of $404 in free gear at $1,299 in Labor Day Sale

Looking back in on Lectric’s ongoing Labor Day Sale, we wanted to shine a spotlight on the largest bundle package yet on the new XP4 750 Long-Range Folding Utility e-bike that comes with $404 in free gear at $1,299 shipped, while the standard XP4 Folding Utility e-bike is keeping its ongoing $79 bundle at $999 shipped. You’d normally have to pay $1,703 and $1,078 for these bundles without the savings, which is the biggest value offer we’ve seen so far since these models hit the market back in May. While they’ve mostly kept to their starting $356 and $79 bundle sizes, we did see the long-range variation getting a higher $371 package during the brand’s Prime Day sale, which is getting beaten out here through the upcoming holiday. The included bundle contains the brand’s new LevelUp rack, a suspension seat post, an Elite headlight, an accordion-style bike lock, a phone mount, and a water-resistant pannier bag.

How CATL is changing EV battery tech in Europe [Video]

How CATL is changing EV battery tech in Europe [Video]

Electric vehicles have come a long way, but let’s be real—they still have their hangups: “range anxiety,” long charging times, and questions about safety and sustainability. But what if all those worries could be put to rest?

At IAA Mobility in Munich, CATL, one of the world’s biggest battery makers, unveiled a new technology that could revolutionize EVs.

Shenxing Pro: Go Far, Last Long

CATL debuted two versions of its next-gen Shenxing Pro battery. One is all about distance and durability. Picture this: a single charge gets you up to 758 km (or about 470 miles). That’s enough to drive from Houston to Memphis without a single stop. And it’s not just about the distance; this thing is built to last. It promises a lifespan of 12 years or 1,000,000 km, with only around 9% degradation after 200,000 km. That’s a huge leap from today’s EV batteries, which often lose up to 30% of their capacity over the same period.

Fast Charging, Even When It’s Freezing

Tired of waiting around for your car to charge? The second version of the Shenxing Pro is for you. It’s the Super Fast Charging model, designed to get you back on the road in minutes. CATL says it can add a whopping 478 km of range in just 10 minutes under perfect conditions. And here’s the best part: it holds its own in the cold. We all know how much cold weather messes with most EV batteries, but the Shenxing Pro still delivers up to 410 km of range in just 20 minutes at a chilling -20°C. That’s better than many EVs perform in normal temperatures!

No Propagation 3.0: Safety First

Safety is a top concern with EV batteries, especially the risk of thermal runaway—that’s when one cell overheats and triggers a dangerous chain reaction. CATL’s new No Propagation 3.0 platform is engineered to stop that domino effect cold. It uses special fireproof coatings and a cell structure that quickly cools down and relieves pressure. In the rare event of a problem, the battery can still provide stable power for over an hour. That extra time is a lifeline, giving drivers the chance to get to safety and ensuring critical systems like advanced driver-assistance features stay online when you need them most.

Getting Greener, At Scale

CATL is also tackling the sustainability issue head-on. Through a new initiative called the Global Energy Circular Commitment (GECC), they aim to cut the use of new raw materials by half over the next two decades. They’re already a leader in this space, operating the world’s largest battery recycling network. Since 2024, they’ve recycled over 130,000 tons of used batteries, recovering 99.6% of crucial metals like nickel, cobalt, and manganese.

The Whole Package

What’s so impressive about the Shenxing Pro isn’t just one feature—it’s everything working together. By improving range, charging speed, safety, and sustainability all at once, CATL isn’t just fixing a single problem; they’re taking on the biggest obstacles to widespread EV adoption. If these batteries live up to the hype, the next wave of EVs could be more efficient, more reliable, and a whole lot greener.

The bottom line? CATL’s latest battery tech in tandem with other commitments could prove to be the building blocks for the next wave of EVs in Europe and beyond.

Hyundai wants you to feel how smooth its EVs drive with a unique 24-hour ‘Rest Drive’

Hyundai wants you to feel how smooth its EVs drive with a unique 24-hour 'Rest Drive'

Hyundai wants to give you the chance to see for yourself just how peaceful the ride is in its EVs. In the UK, Hyundai is offering a new 24-hour “Rest Drive” for the new Kona Electric, allowing you to experience it on your daily travels.

Hyundai UK launches 24-hour ‘Rest Drive’ to test EVs

If you haven’t driven an electric vehicle, it’s hard to describe how much more relaxing the drive is compared to a traditional gas-powered car.

Without a massive internal combustion engine (ICE) under the hood and drastically fewer moving parts, EVs are nearly silent to drive. This is why most places require them to have some sort of alert system when backing up now.

Hyundai sees it as an opportunity. After conducting a study, Hyundai Motor UK found that 73% of parents admit to taking their child for a ride in the car to help them fall asleep.

Apparently, those laps around the neighborhood add up quickly. On average, it added up to nine hours a month behind the wheel. The biggest frustrations for parents trying to get their kids to sleep were sitting in traffic (42%), engine noise (41%), and stopping for gas (36%).

On the other hand, parents said a smooth ride (65%) was the top factor that would help their child fall asleep more easily.

To allow parents in the UK to experience the peacefulness of EVs, Hyundai launched “Rest Drives.” The new program offers 24-hour test drives of the Hyundai Kona Electric.

The Kona EV offers a WLTP range of 319 miles, fast charging capabilities, and is equipped with Hyundai’s latest safety and connectivity tech.

Hyundai offers an electric vehicle for almost everyone, including the Inster, Kona Electric, IONIQ 5, IONIQ 6, and IONIQ 9. Next year, it will launch the IONIQ 3, the production version of the Concept THREE unveiled at IAA Mobility 2025 earlier this month.

Looking to try out the Kona Electric? Hyundai is offering the extended Rest Drive offer until October 31, 2025, at the following participating retailers. You can apply and find more information on Hyundai’s UK website.

  • Marshall – Gatwick
  • Berry – Chiswick
  • Vertu – Banbury
  • Evans Halshaw – Milton Keynes
  • Howards – Taunton
  • Paul Rigby – Stratford upon Avon
  • Wessex – Cardiff
  • Read – Burton
  • West Riding – Manchester
  • Drive Hyundai – York
  • Vertu – Edinburgh West
  • Vertu – Nottingham
  • Vertu – Bristol
  • Arnold Clark – Glasgow

At the end of the test, retailers will offer parents a “Rest Drives” baby box. The gift includes a soft Jellycat toy, cosy travel blanket, engaging baby book, and healthy snacks, which Hyundai said were carefully chosen to keep kids “calm, content, and rested on the road.”

Hyundai doesn’t offer this kind of program in the US. At least, not yet. But, if you want to get behind the wheel of the IONIQ 5, IONIQ 6, IONIQ 9, or Kona Electric, you can use our links below to find models near you.
