Football season is upon us, and that can only mean one thing — tailgating season has arrived, too. Regardless of what team you’re rooting for, whether you’re partial to college or professional games, or if you’re just here for the party, this communal grilling seems capable of bringing everyone together. And now, Gourmia is offering a new ensemble of electric and battery-appliances that claim to turn your tailgates into the social events of the season.

“Gourmia offers tailgaters an ensemble of electric and battery-powered appliances that are easy to transport, fun to use, and don’t take hours to heat up,” said Heshy Biegeleisen, Gourmia founder. “In other words, they are perfect for fans’ pre-game parties, whether they take place with a throng in a stadium parking lot or with a few pals in the backyard.”

First off, there’s the Gourmia Portable BBQ Grill, which combines a battery-operated turbo fan that controls airflow and flame strength with double-grill pan system that claims to eliminate drip and reduce smoke by up to 90 percent. Plus, this portable grill features nonstick coating on its grill plate, which means that you won’t have to deal with tons of grease (a real lifesaver on your trip back home).

Then there’s the portable mini fridge cooler and warmer, which can plug either into an electrical outlet, or if that’s not available, your vehicle cigarette lighter. Self-locking hinged doors ensure that the cooler is always sealed and insulated, keeping cold drinks cold and warm drinks warm. And thank to its 4-liter interior, you can fit six 12-ounce aluminum cans as well as a variety of snacks.

Gourmia also has an electric digital air fryer, which promises to fry your food without oil or fat. And if you’re not looking to fry your food, you can also bake, grill, steam, or roast your ingredients. And finally, for after the main course of your tailgate, you can use the Gourmia frozen desert maker, which quickly and easily creates frozen fruit-based treats with an ice cream-like texture (without the added sugar, fat, or preservatives).

All the aforementioned Gourmia tailgating accessories are now available on Amazon.

Juiced Bikes sold at auction for $1.2 million, report says

The Juiced Bikes Scorpion X2 adds more power, upgraded tires, and an improved battery to the popular moped style e-bike.

Juiced Bikes, the San Diego-based maker of e-bikes, has been sold on an auction website for $1,225,000, according to a report from Electrek.Digital Trends recently reported how the company was showing signs of being on the brink of bankruptcy. The company and its executives had remained silent, while customer inquiries went unanswered and its website showed all products were out of stock. In addition, there were numerous reports of layoffs at the company.Yet, the most convincing sign was that the company’s assets appeared as listed for sale on an auction website used by companies that go out of business.Now, it appears that Juiced Bikes’ assets, including a dozen patents, multiple URLs, and the company’s inventory in both the U.S. and China, have been sold at auction, according to the report. It is likely that the buyer, who remains unknown, can capitalize on the brand and the overall value of the 15-year old company. Founded in 2009 by Tora Harris, a U.S. high-jump Olympian, Juiced Bikes was one of the early pioneers of the direct-to-consumer e-bike brands in the U.S. market.
The company had quickly built a reputation for the versatility of its e-bikes and the durability of their batteries. Over the years, the popularity of models such as the CrossCurrent, HyperScrambler, and RipCurrent only bolstered the brand’s status.Last year, Digital Trends named the Juiced Bikes Scorpion X2 as the best moped-style e-bike for 2023, citing its versatility, rich feature set, and performance.Juiced Bikes’ getting sold quickly might be a sign of what consulting firm Houlihan Lokey says is a recovery in the North American e-bike market.
The industry has had a roller-coaster ride during and after the COVID-19 pandemic: A huge spike in demand for e-bikes had combined with disrupted supply chains to create a supply/demand mismatch of “historic proportions," Houlihan Lokey said.

Aventon Abound SR combines thoughtful design, enhanced security, and smart connectivity

Electric bikes are nothing new at this point, and while there are many styles, few purportedly do-it-all, and even fewer actually offer smart or more advanced features. They tend to do one thing particularly well, like cruising, carrying cargo, or sightseeing -- like city riding -- but the biggest way they push the envelope is by offering that long-range electric power. The Aventon Abound SR, a new do-it-all bike, goes far and beyond anything that's come before it.

For starters, it's the first bike equipped with Aventon's electronic control unit (ACU) which empowers intelligent safety features. That gives you 4G and GPS tracking built-in, plus remote locking, an alarm system, and much more. But also, this top-of-its-class bike is incredibly versatile and is suitable for everything from commutes to tough exercise rides and daily routines. It features a top speed of 20 miles per hour, has a range of up to 60 miles per charge, and can carry a payload of up to 440 pounds. Impressive, indeed. Let's take a closer look and get a little more friendly with it, shall we?
