Juiced JetCurrent Pro Foldable e-bike hits new $2,074 pre-order low during anniversary celebrations!
Juiced Bikes has been one of our favorite e-bike brands here at 9to5Toys for quite some time, and today the company is kicking off its latest sales event that is taking up to $400 off its lineup in order to celebrate its anniversary! These deals are based on current prices, with customers receiving $175 off any purchase between $800 and $1,600, or $225 off for purchases between $1,700 and $2,599, or $400 off purchases of $2,600 or more. A notable standout is the inclusion of the new JetCurrent Pro Foldable e-bike (that is still in its pre-order phase) at $2,074 shipped. Already down from its $2,799 MSRP, we saw its first pre-order discount at the start of April, when it fell to $2,499. May saw a drop to $2,299 during Mother’s Day sales, followed by another during Memorial Day sales to $2,099. Today, the pre-order savings continue as it falls $25 lower to carve out a new all-time low, with shipping slated to begin later this month, meaning this is likely the last pre-release discount.
The all-new JetCurrent Pro Foldable e-bike comes in four colorways (purple haze, indigo blue, desert tan, and black) and is equipped with a supercharged 1,200W NeoBlade Motor (2,000W peak) alongside a 52V battery that carries it up to 34 MPH for up to 70 miles on a single charge. It has five levels of pedal assistance that are monitored by joint torque and cadence sensors, as well as a throttle when you just want to cruise, and extra functions like an active cruise control that can be set at any speed below 20 MPH and a race track mode for the most aggressive settings where the e-bike does not electronically limit its speed (sacrificing travel mileage).
You’ll find a powerful 1,050-lumen Shadowblaster headlight, front and rear turn signals, a brake light, knobby 4-inch tires with fenders over each, a rear cargo rack, 4-piston hydraulic brakes, a folding mirror, an “automotive-grade horn,” and a backlit LCD display that gives you real-time performance data while also allowing you to customize its performance settings – plus it has a USB port to charge your devices as you ride. Its most noticeable feature is being the first foldable e-bike among Juiced’s lineup, making transport and storage far easier when it’s not in use.

Anker’s 1,056Wh SOLIX C1000 Portable Power Station falls to new $599 low
The official Anker Amazon storefront is offering its SOLIX C1000 Portable Power Station for $599 shipped. Regularly fetching $999, this unit has been steadily seeing larger and larger discounts as the months go forward, with Black Friday and Christmas sales kicking off the trend with its biggest 2023 drop to $649. In 2024, we’ve seen a few short-lived returns to $649, followed by a few repeats to $629, and a final fall to $609 last month during Memorial Day sales. Today’s deal continues this trend, with it coming in as a $400 markdown that drops costs to a new all-time low. You’ll also find four discounted bundle opportunities available: the power station with a 100W solar panel for $799, or with a 200W solar panel for $899, or you can bump the solar panel up to a 400W model for $1,299, or bundle the power station with a BP1000 expansion battery for $1,098.
Featuring a compact design that is “15% smaller than the industry average,” the SOLIX C1000 gives you a 1,056Wh capacity (2,112Wh with the extra battery option), a max power output of 2,400W, and 11 different output ports: one carport, two USB-A ports, two USB-C ports, and six AC outlets. It can be fully charged via a wall outlet in up to 58 minutes and can recharge in up to 1.8 hours with its max 600W solar input. Through the Anker app, you’ll be able to get real-time status updates, view your battery level, and set AC charging speeds.
Retrospec’s best-selling Valen Rev Fat-Tire e-bike now $1,300
Retrospec has put two of its popular and best-selling e-bike models on sale, taking up to $400 off each. The most affordable and also most lauded of the pair is the Valen Rev Fat-Tire Electric Bike for $1,299.99 shipped. Down from its $1,700 price tag, this is the lowest price we have tracked since the brand hit our radar. At the moment, this is also the lowest price we can currently find anywhere, with several smaller third-party sites offering it at higher rates of $1,800 and $1,900. All-in-all, this is a solid $400 markdown that offers a great chance to snag it ahead of next week’s tariffs going into effect and subsequently raising the price by an unknown amount, so there’s no time for dawdling! You’ll also find its successor, the new Valen Rev+ model, sitting at $1,700 currently.
The Valen Rev e-bike sports a motorbike design that is becoming increasingly more popular among consumers and manufacturers alike, with similar looks to rival models like Juiced’s HyperScrambler 2, for example. Its stylish frame houses a 750W brushless rear-hub motor and the 48V battery, which work alongside the six levels of pedal assistance to propel the bike up to a 20 MPH top speed for up to 55 miles on a single charge.
A neat little feature that I haven’t seen elsewhere, is Start Aid that sets the motor to push the e-bike up to 4 MPH in order to gain momentum before taking off, preventing awkward wobbling on your first few pedal strokes. It does also feature a twist throttle for electric-only action, but keep in mind this will alter the overall mileage. Its been given 4-inch off-road ready tires with large tread grips for greater stability on various terrains and fenders over each. It also has some more minor features, like mechanical disc brakes, a kickstand, 7-speed drivetrain, headlights and taillights, a chain cover, a bottle cage, and a handlebar-mounted LED display for all your control and data needs in one easy-to-access place.
The other model receiving this discount is the Koa Rev+ Fat-Tire Electric Bike for $1,500, down from $1,800. With this e-bike’s fully integrated and removable 48V battery as well as the 750W planetary geared hub motor, it hits the same 20 MPH top speeds, with the same six levels of pedal assistance (and an alternate thumb throttle), but providing a further 68-mile travel range. It’s features take one step up above the other models, with an 8-speed drivetrain, hydraulic disc brakes, 4-inch off-road Kenda tires with fenders over both, a kickstand, integrated headlights and taillights, and a full-color display.
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.
The sun has set on a frantic day of scrutineering at this year’s Electrek Formula Sun Grand Prix (FSGP), as teams scramble to qualify for a spot on the starting line tomorrow morning. Electrek FSGP 2025 is shaping up to be one of the event’s most attended ever, thanks to a strong showing of first-time and returning schools. But that also means new and unproven vehicles on the track.
Today, I walked through a couple of bays and talked with a few of the teams able to spare a minute; almost all of them were debuting completely new cars that were years in the making. Building a solar car is no easy feat. It’s not just the engineering and technical know-how that’s often a hurdle for them; it’s more often monetary. However, one of the things that makes this event so special is the camaraderie and collaboration that happen behind the scenes.
Northwestern University is back with a completely new car this season, its eighth since the team’s original inception in 1997 during the GM Sunrayce days. Its motor controller, which is responsible for managing the flow of power from the batteries to the motor, was given to them by the Stanford team. Stanford had extras and could spare one for Northwestern, which needed a replacement. It doesn’t stop there. Two members of the Northwestern team (Shannon and Fiona) told me four other teams helped them with a serious tire replacement around 1 a.m. Wednesday morning, saving them from missing important parts of scrutineering.
This is also an exciting year for the West Virginia team, which is celebrating its 35th anniversary as a solar car team, making them one of the oldest teams on the track. With age comes wisdom though: WV is competing again this year with its single-occupant vehicle, Sunseeker. The team ran into issues after last year’s American Solar Challenge (ASC) cross-country event when the vehicle’s control arm, an important part of the suspension that connects the wheels to the chassis, broke. They tell me this year they’re back with a completely redesigned control arm made of both aluminum and steel. Thank you, Hayley, John, and Izzy, for taking the time to talk.

We’re also seeing new builds this year from the University of Florida, the University of Puerto Rico, NC State, and UC Irvine. Believe it or not, the latter team has never competed in an American Solar Challenge/Formula Sun Grand Prix. This is their first year. UC Irvine doesn’t expect to be on the starting line tomorrow but hopes to be on the track soon after.

On the other hand, we have tried-and-proven cars like my personal favorite, Polytechnique Montréal’s Esteban, which undergoes minor improvements each year. I talked a little bit with this team today, and they told me the car’s motor was dropped, disassembled, and cleaned in preparation for the event. Polytechnique Montréal has passed scrutineering and will appear on the starting line tomorrow.

Teams that haven’t wrapped up scrutineering in the last three days can still complete it, though doing so will eat into time on track.
You can learn more about the different classes and the specific rules here.
I’ll continue to post more updates as the event continues!
2025 Electrek FSGP schedule
The 2025 Electrek FSGP will again be held at the National Corvette Museum Motorsports Park in Bowling Green, Kentucky, which, interestingly enough, General Motors occasionally uses for Corvette testing and development. A bit of a full-circle moment being so close to the company that started it all.
The event is open to the public and FREE to attend. Come see the solar car race up close!
Racing starts on July 3 from 10am to 6pm CT and continues through July 5 from 9am to 5pm CT.

Tesla’s Q2 results are in, and they are way, way down from Q2 of 2024. At the same time, Nissan seems to be in serious trouble and the first-ever all-electric Dodge muscle car is getting recalled because its dumb engine noises are the wrong kind of dumb engine noises. All this and more on today’s deeply troubled episode of Quick Charge!
We’ve also got an awesome article from Micah Toll about a hitherto unexplored genre of electric lawn equipment, a $440 million mining equipment deal, and a list of incompetent, corrupt, and stupid politicians who voted away their constituents’ futures to line their pockets.
New episodes of Quick Charge are recorded, usually, Monday through Thursday (and sometimes Sunday). We’ll be posting bonus audio content from time to time as well, so be sure to follow and subscribe so you don’t miss a minute of Electrek’s high-voltage daily news.

“These ‘OpenAI tokens’ are not OpenAI equity,” OpenAI wrote on X. “We did not partner with Robinhood, were not involved in this, and do not endorse it.”
The company said that “any transfer of OpenAI equity requires our approval — we did not approve any transfer,” and warned users to “please be careful.”
Robinhood announced the launch Monday from Cannes, France, as part of a broader product showcase focused on tokenized equities, staking, and a new blockchain infrastructure play. The company’s stock surged above $100 to hit a new all-time high following the news.
“These tokens give retail investors indirect exposure to private markets, opening up access, and are enabled by Robinhood’s ownership stake in a special purpose vehicle,” a Robinhood spokesperson said in response to the OpenAI post.

Robinhood offered 5 euros worth of OpenAI and SpaceX tokens to eligible EU users who signed up to trade stock tokens by July 7. The assets are issued under the EU’s looser investor restrictions via Robinhood’s crypto platform.
“This is about expanding access,” said Johann Kerbrat, Robinhood’s SVP and GM of crypto. “The goal with tokenization is to let anyone participate in this economy.”
The episode highlights the dynamic between crypto platforms seeking to democratize access to financial products and the companies whose names and equity are being represented on-chain
U.S. users cannot access these tokens due to regulatory restrictions.
