While summertime is the prime season for grass growth, that untamed greenery won’t just disappear come fall. That’s why it’s important to invest in a lawnmower that you can rely on for several months at a time with minimal maintenance. And when it comes to noteworthy brands, there are certainly no shortage of options. This week though, we came across an awesome mower offer while looking through Walmart deals:

For a limited time, you’ll be able to purchase the PowerSmart 40V 17-inch Electric Push Lawn Mower for $180. At full price, this model goes for $300.

Why you should buy the PowerSmart push mower

This PowerSmart mower is equipped with a 40V lithium-ion battery. This means you can say goodbye to refueling a gas tank. It also means you’ll be sending less pollutants into the air when you’re actively mowing. On a full charge, you’ll get a little over two hours of mow time, and the brushless motor design means you can expect about the same amount of power as you’d get with a fuel model. Plus, brushless means way quieter operation too.

Like many of the best mowers on the market, the PowerSmart offers rear bagging, mulching, and side discharge for your grass, and the 17-inch steel deck has six height adjustments to choose from (ranging from 1.5 to 3.9 inches). Whether you’re dealing with flat land or off-level grading, the PowerSmart’s seven-inch front wheels and eight-inch rears provide enough lift and traction to guide your mower across even the toughest terrain.

We’re also big fans of the foldable handle, which lets you tuck away the entire mower without having to loosen any bolts or screws. PowerSmart also provides a two-year limited warranty for this product.

While we’re not entirely sure how long this Walmart sale is going to last, the best time to buy is always now. Save $120 when you purchase the PowerSmart 40V 17-inch Electric Push Lawn Mower, and be sure to check out some of the other lawn mower deals we found this week. We also have an entire list of leftover Prime Day power tool deals that is still worth taking a look at.

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?
