Velotric weekend flash sale on T1 ST e-bike

Velotric weekend flash sale drops T1 ST Plus e-bike with Apple Find My to $1,249 with bonus savings

Alongside Velotric’s ongoing sitewide sale, the brand is offering a weekend flash sale on its T1 ST Plus e-bike for $1,249 shipped, with a discounted bundle option for a bunch of add-on gear too. Normally priced at $1,549 most of the time, we saw it fall to its $1,099 low back during the brand’s Memorial Day sale for a short period, while the other sales have kept costs between $1,299 and $1,349. With this flash sale, you can land this lightweight model at a $300 markdown and the second-lowest price we have tracked. There’s also an option to bundle this e-bike and get a full spread of add-on gear with fenders for both wheels, a rear cargo rack, a phone mount, and a water bottle with a cage at $1,468, which all together would normally run you $1,818 – bumping your total savings up to $350.

Urban commuters and active cyclists alike will thrive with Velotric’s T1 ST Plus e-bike, as it weighs in at just 39 pounds, making it easy to carry up and down stairs while also taking up minimal space for those living in walk-up apartments/buildings. Its streamlined frame houses a 36V 352.8Wh battery that runs the 350W motor (which peaks at 600W), giving you up to 52 miles of pedal assistance (supported by a superior torque sensor) and top speeds of 25 MPH (unlocked from its standard 20 MPH).

Alongside a bonus walk mode for assistance when you have to hop off (especially to get up very steep angles) and Apple Find My capabilities, there’s a bunch more extra features that make this a great model at such a low price, with it also having a SHIMANO 8-speed derailleur, an integrated LED auto-headlight, double hydraulic disc brakes, puncture-resistant tires, an IPX6 waterproof rating, and a 3.5-inch LCD display with USB charging for your personal device.

first discount on Govee smart kitchen composter

Govee’s new smart electric Kitchen Composter helps you go greener with first discount to $250 (50% off)

Govee’s official Amazon storefront is offering the very first chance to save on the new Smart Electric Kitchen Composter for $249.99 shipped, after clipping the on-page $200 off coupon. Priced at $500 since its recent release, this is the very first discount that we have seen on this new green kitchen upgrade – and the fact that it’s getting its price cut by a massive 50% markdown is rather surprising too, though Govee has been known to do this on other appliances, as it did with the new Smart Electric Kettle Pro. Folks looking to upgrade their home life and go a little more green are getting a great deal here, saving you $250 while also helping out the environment (and your gardens too). It also doesn’t seem to be available yet on Govee’s direct website, making this an even sweeter opportunity to get in on.

More and more folks are getting in on the benefits of composting at home, whether that’s to reduce food waste while also keeping it out of landfills, improving their own gardening soil for plants, and more. This new smart device from Govee is here to help with those desires, letting you keep records of your disposals, create your own low-cost fertilizer to provide vital nutrients to your home’s plant life, and more – all monitored and controlled via the companion app and with voice controls available through Alexa, Google Assistant, and Siri. You won’t have to worry about any odors here, as it includes two changeable filters that prevent the usual smells during the composting cycle. There are also three different operating modes here, with a full array of safety notifications to keep you in the loop should something go awry.

Save $1,000 on Anker’s 3,840Wh SOLIX F3800 power station at $2,999, bundles start from $3,499

Anker has a bunch of power deals that are offering up some great rates on a lineup of reliable backup power solutions, like the brand’s SOLIX F3800 Portable Power Station that is currently down at $2,999 shipped, which you can also find matching at Amazon, after clipping the on-page $1,000 off coupon. Down from its usual $3,999 price tag, we saw it in the earlier half of 2024 mostly keeping at or above $3,599, with some occasional falls lower. As the year has progressed we’ve been seeing more frequent $1,000 markdowns like today’s deal, though we did see it hit its $2,499 low back in June over at Wellbots. Today, you can add it to your backup needs with a solid $1,000 slashed off the tag, giving you the third-lowest price we have tracked. Head below for more on this unit and all its discounted bundle options too.

If you want to have all the backup power options at your fingertips – traveling/camping support to home backup and full home powering – this unit is one of the best versatile models on the market today with its 3,840Wh LiFePO4 battery capacity that can be expanded all the way up to a massive 26.9kWh with the addition of six BP3800 Expansion Batteries. It can dish out up to 6,000W of output power and comes with a myriad of ports to cover a wide range of devices and appliances, with eight ACs, three USB-Cs, two USB-As, one DC, and one car port. That’s not all, as it also sports connections to hook to your RV, and electric car, as well as your home’s circuit breaker, but you will need to get the appropriate gear (bundle options below) with a Home Backup Kit for sectional support or the Home Power Panel that covers the entire household and allows for connections with your solar roof panels for greater recharging capabilities.

There are a few different ways to recharge the F3800’s battery, but the two main ways will give you a full battery in only 2.7 hours through a standard outlet, or up to 2 hours when utilizing its maximum 2,400W solar input. Everything is housed within a rollable design, with an LCD display to monitor real-time levels as well as adjust settings – or you can do all this on your phone via the companion app.

Goal Zero’s Yeti 500 and 700 power stations at lowest prices starting from $337

Through its official Amazon storefront, Goal Zero is offering new and returning low prices on its Yeti 500 and Yeti 700 Portable Power Stations for $337.46 shipped and $449.96 shipped, after clipping the on-page 25% off coupons. Normally these two newer stations go for $450 and $600, respectively, and we’ve mostly seen the 500 model fall to $360 while the 700 model has been down as low as $450. You’re looking at the best prices here today, saving you $113 on the 500 at a new all-time low and $150 on the 700 at a returning low. There’s also a discounted bundle option to pair the Yeti 700 with a 100W solar panel for $586, after clipping the on-page $214 off coupon.

These 6th generation power stations are designed to keep your personal devices and small appliances juiced up and running during casual outdoor ventures, whether that’s for camping, tailgates, outdoor movie nights, road trips, and the like. They share much of the same designs and features, with the main difference between them being their capacity sizes (Yeti 500 offers 499Wh, Yeti 700 offers 677Wh) and output power levels (Yeti 500 provides 500W surging to 1,000W and the Yeti 700 provides 600W surging to 1,000W).

These units have all been given fast-charging capabilities when they’re plugged into a standard wall outlet, with the Yeti 500 recharging in 90 minutes and the Yeti 700 recharging in under 2 hours. Your small appliance and device charging needs are covered by the two AC ports, two USB-A ports, two USB-C ports, plus the bonus car port – and both can be hooked up to a solar panel with a max input level of 200W, with recharging ranging from 2.9 hours to 4 hours, depending on your model.

Coming to us through its Deals of the Day, Best Buy is offering the NIU KQi 300P Foldable All-Terrain Suspension Electric Kick Scooter for $699 shipped. Normally fetching $949 here, while going for $899 direct from NIU, this one-day sale is seeing a slightly bigger discount than we’ve seen come from the manufacturer this year. When it’s been featured in NIU’s sales, it’s kept costs above $700, with the discounts only getting smaller and smaller as we headed through summer and into fall. Today, you’re looking at a 26% markdown coming from Best Buy, giving you $250 in savings and landing it at the lowest price we can find. It even beats out NIU’s website where it’s discounted to a higher $807 rate.

Designed to handle whatever terrain stands ahead of you, NIU’s KQi 300P kickscooter arrives with a 450W motor (peaking at 900W for up to 20% incline climbing) alongside a 13Ah/608Wh battery that provides a nice 30 miles of travel and 20 MPH top speeds. There are some great standout features here, like the dual-tube hydraulic suspension for an even smoother ride, or the PowerFront braking (with rear dual-action disc brakes) that extends battery life thanks to the regenerative braking. Along with these, there’s also rubber pneumatic tubeless tires, a Halo headlight, braking lights, turn signal lights, and the full array of smart controls via the companion app – letting you customize its settings while also providing security measures to lock/unlock the e-scooter.
