Lectric XPress Lite e-bike $1,099 + XPress2 FREE $336 bundle, EcoFlow 572Wh RIVER 3 Max new $303 low, snow blower lows, more

Lectric eBikes has spent the last several years steadily expanding from its original folding fat-tire e-bikes into just about every corner of the affordable electric bicycle market. Now the company is returning its attention to the commuter category with the new Lectric XPress Lite, a lighter and more affordable version of its popular XPress2 urban e-bike. Priced at $1,099, the XPress Lite takes the general formula of the more powerful XPress2 and pares it down into a lighter, more nimble package aimed squarely at everyday city riders. Lectric describes the new model as prioritizing portability and agility rather than the heavier-duty performance of the XPress2.

EcoFlow is hoping to make a titanic splash with its new, smaller (but scalable!) residential energy storage lineup that the company is calling a more approachable entry point to its backup battery offerings. EcoFlow’s new, three-model Titan 5000 range of home backup batteries starts off relatively small with “just” a single, 5 kWh energy storage module that’s enough to keep your refrigerator, lights and Wi-Fi going while keeping your phone and laptop batteries charged. That’s just the start, however, as the system is designed to easily scale up with the addition of more 5,000 Wh modules (hence, the name) to meet your more substantial energy needs — all the way up to 30 kWh.

EcoFlow is dominating our Tuesday Green Deals edition this week, as the brand is offering an early-bird $50 “lock in” deposit for its latest TITAN Series Whole-Home Backup System that will be officially launched in November. Right behind that is the latest 48-hour flash sale lineup, with options like the DELTA Pro Power Station bundle with a 400W solar panel down at $2,279, and more from $689. We also spotted Heybike offering its Mars 3.0 Folding Full Suspension e-bike at a new $1,099 low, a bunch of Anker eufy Solar Wall Light Cam S4 deals starting from $200, a 40V 12-inch Greenworks Cordless Snow Shovel kit at a new $240 low, and more. You’ll also find the hangover deals from yesterday at the bottom of the page, like the Segway’s GT3 superscooter at its lowest price, the exclusive Anker SOLIX 6,144Wh expanded F3000 bundle deal, and more.

Classic gems, tasteful customs, legendary supercars - for Silvian, they're all fair game. He's been in love with cars and motorcycles for as long as he can remember, so it made perfect sense to eventually turn that passion into a full-time writing career. Around six years and more than 3,000 articles later, he is still going strong and doesn't plan on hitting the brakes anytime soon. We all know China doesn’t take kindly to those pesky pop-out door handles, having mandated an all-out ban back in February. It will come into effect on January 1, 2027, and Chinese lawmakers at the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) aren’t planning to hang up the gloves just yet. As a matter of fact, the door handle saga might’ve been just the warm-up. MIIT’s crosshairs are now aimed at a trending feature we really wouldn’t mind seeing less of – annoyingly large touchscreens prone to distracting the driver. Quite frankly, we’re more than happy to cheer them on in this regard, and others may want to consider taking this particular page out of China’s rulebook.

With prices going up on, well, everything, having the ability to work on your own car (as long as the electronics allow for it) is a big money saver. There's a decent segment of individuals who can't do these things on their own, though, and it's possible, video games can help their journey to learn. Former Jalop Andrew Collins brought up the concept in 2020 with a video game called "Wrench," a grease-less automotive simulator that let you get your virtual hands dirty fixing cars in VR. A similar game released in 2021 called "Car Mechanic Simulator. " Now in 2026, "Wrench" has returned in a much more mature and updated version. YouTuber TalksWithNoise took to testing the concept in real time with a recent video, "I Tried Using a Video Game to Fix My Miata.
