E-Z Up, a company known for making shelters that are quick and easy to put together, introduced a new tent called the Camping Cube that promises plenty of features and amenities, along with interior space for up to six people.

The new tent is designed to be used in conjunction with one of E-Z Up’s existing shelters, transforming the simple structures into a spacious place for a group of friends and family to spend the night. Users begin by first setting up the basic shelter, which is usually accomplished simply by extending the telescoping legs to the proper height. Next, the Camping Cube is rolled out on the ground underneath and is connected to the shelter using a series of built-in clips. As those clips are locked into place, the tent slowly takes shape. The entire process is surprisingly simple and requires just a few minutes to complete.

E-Z Up has incorporated a number of features that help make the Camping Cube an intriguing option for car campers. For instance, the tents have a large door that provides quick and easy access to the interior and they come with four mesh windows that offer plenty of ventilation on warm days and nights. When fully extended, the Cube is tall enough for most people to stand upright while inside and it has multiple storage pouches for keeping important gear organized and close at hand. There are even a series of “power pockets” that allow campers to run extension cords into the interior of the tent, giving them the ability to charge mobile devices or run other electronics while still keeping the elements at bay.

The Camping Cube is available in two sizes – the 5.4 and 6.4 – with the names indicating the number of people who can sleep comfortably inside. But just how exactly do you accommodate 0.4 people? In this case, E-Z Up is actually referring to our four-legged friends, who often love to go camping too. That means that the 6.4 model has enough room for up to six people, with room to spare for a canine friend too. The tents even come equipped with a pet portal, allowing the pooch to exit the interior as needed.

The new Camping Cubes are available for $209 and $239 for the 5.4 and 6.4 versions, respectively.

Juiced Bikes offers 20% off on all e-bikes amid signs of bankruptcy
Juiced Bikes Scrambler ebike

A “20% off sitewide” banner on top of a company’s website should normally be cause for glee among customers. Except if you’re a fan of that company’s products and its executives remain silent amid mounting signs that said company might be on the brink of bankruptcy.That’s what’s happening with Juiced Bikes, the San Diego-based maker of e-bikes.According to numerous customer reports, Juiced Bikes has completely stopped responding to customer inquiries for some time, while its website is out of stock on all products. There are also numerous testimonies of layoffs at the company.Even more worrying signs are also piling up: The company’s assets, including its existing inventory of products, is appearing as listed for sale on an auction website used by companies that go out of business.In addition, a court case has been filed in New York against parent company Juiced Inc. and Juiced Bike founder Tora Harris, according to Trellis, a state trial court legal research platform.Founded in 2009 by 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’s e-bikes developed a loyal fandom through the years. 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.The company has so far stayed silent amid all the reports. But should its bankruptcy be confirmed, it could legitimately be attributed to the post-pandemic whiplash experienced by the e-bike industry over the past few years. The Covid-19 pandemic had led to a huge spike in demand for e-bikes just as supply chains became heavily constrained. This led to a ramp-up of e-bike production to match the high demand. But when consumer demand dropped after the pandemic, e-bike makers were left with large stock surpluses.The good news is that the downturn phase might soon be over just as the industry is experiencing a wave of mergers and acquisitions, according to a report by Houlihan Lokey.This may mean that even if Juiced Bikes is indeed going under, the brand and its products might find a buyer and show up again on streets and trails.
