All-Terrain Monowheel Coming to Kickstarter on June 6th!

Tired of getting carts and coolers stuck in the sand as you make your way down the beach? The Real Wheel is the perfect solution — serving as an all-terrain cart made for easily moving outdoor gear across rugged terrain.

This mono-wheel handcart is meticulously designed to transport large loads long distances down the beach, in the backcountry, or through the snow. The wheel’s innovative design allows for storage of up to 200 pounds both inside the wheel and on top of the cart, which doubles as a table for when you reach your destination.

The product is engineered with a super-wide, large-diameter, non-slip tire that allows it to ride over sand and rock without getting stuck or sinking in. The debris-resistant rolling feature prevents jamming from rocks, sticks, or sand. The cart is powder-coated aluminum and the wheel crafted with puncture-proof foam, making it light enough for one person to easily maneuver while maintaining durability. The entire product weighs just twenty-five pounds.

Folding handles collapse with the release of a quick pin for convenient storage in the back of a car or closet. Foot-operated kickstands are height adjustable and quickly transform the cart into a table.

A 48-can capacity cooler bag serves as stationary storage within the wheel itself, capable of holding up to 200 pounds. Bulkier and lighter weight gear can be strapped on to the top of the cart using bungee cords and built-in attachment points. In addition, the product offers built-in cup holders and a bottle opener, for added convenience wherever the outdoors may take you.

When collapsed, the wheel is 22 inches high, 22 inches wide, and 24 inches deep. This unique, all-terrain cart, table, and cooler can transform your experience in the outdoors by making remote destinations more easily accessible. This product seems ideal for families, beachgoers, tailgaters, campers, and outdoor enthusiasts of any kind.

The Real Wheel will go live on Kickstarter on June 6.

Mowing a lawn can be very therapeutic unless you have an older lawnmower, which makes life difficult and constantly causes you frustration. Luckily, you can snag a new lawnmower for a pretty good price, and even the more budget-oriented options have a lot of quality-of-life features that you wouldn't find on lawnmowers ten or even five years ago. To that end, we've gone about and collected some of our favorite lawnmower deals across the board, including some great robot lawn mowers that are worth checking out.
Litheli Cordless Lawn Mower U20 Handy+ -- $120, was $140

If you want a solid lawn mower, this offering from Litheli has a 13-inch cutting width, which is pretty good for the deal that you're getting. Even better, you get a 30L grass bag so you're not having to clean up after yourself, and you can mow for longer without having to stop. You also get 5 height adjustments so you can hone in the length of your grass to the perfect height, plus you get a 4.0Ah portable battery included.

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.
