This trail-tested, road ready Aventon e-bike is $200 off — We gave it 4.5 stars

Aventon Ramblas eMTB e-bike for trail and off-road rides
Aventon

At the risk of repeating myself, we are rather fond of Aventon e-bikes here at Digital Trends. They tend to review favorably because of how much value they offer. Take the Ramblas eMTB e-bike, for instance. We gave it four and a half stars in our review back in August. Resident reviewer and e-bike expert, Bruce Brown, praised it for its “strong hardtail” frame, excellent mid-drive torque, strong stopping power, smooth ride experience, and competitive pricing. The latter is a real highlight, but get this, it’s also on sale right now for $200 off. So, that competitive pricing is even more enticing. Normally $2,899, it’s down to $2,699 thanks to a big sale, saving you $200. Check out that sale for yourself, otherwise let’s discuss why this is such a great e-bike, especially if you like trail riding.

Why do we love the Aventon Ramblas eMTB e-bike in this sale?

As I’ve already pointed out by sharing our review, our resident e-bike expert not only rated it highly but enjoyed his experience with the bike. That’s one of our biggest and most important factors for a favorable review — how much we think our readers will enjoy the product. If it doesn’t make practical sense or we think it provides a sub-par experience, well, let’s just say it’s not going to get a high star rating. But the Aventon Ramblas eMTB e-bike sure did. Four and a half stars are impressive. So, what does it offer?

For starters, it’s a super versatile e-bike that’s suitable for trail riding, with rough terrain, and road riding, with smoother terrain. In other words, you can bring this thing and ride it virtually anywhere. It offers a long-range too, up to 80 miles on a single charge. Meanwhile, it has a top speed of 20 miles per hour, can carry a payload of up to 300 pounds, and is powered by a 750-watt (peak) motor with 100NM of torque. If you don’t know stats or understand the numbers, all you need to know is this thing is powerful enough to give you a smooth ride even on tough trails. Reviewer Bruce Brown even feels it’s suitable for “mountain biking,” which should give you a better idea of its power and capabilities.

It can certainly handle urban and city riding, though, if you need it for that. But it’s best used on and off the trail.

At any rate, it’s $200 off right now, down to $2,699 from $2,899 which is a fantastic price. We highly recommend getting one if you do a lot of trail riding, off-road biking, and everything in between.

Best pressure washer deals: Up to $110 off Greenworks and Kärcher
The Greenworks GPW3001 Pro electric pressure washer, placed outside.

If you've been on the internet and seen a bunch of pressure washer clips and are now considering grabbing one yourself, you'll be happy to know that there is a huge range of them to pick from. That includes some great budget-oriented versions to dip your toe in and are still good for cleaning stains and cleaning up stuff. That's why we've gone out and collected some of our favorite washer deals for you below, including some of the best pressure washers for cars, which you do have to be a bit careful with not to strip the paint or clearcoat.
Greenworks Pressure Washer Combo Kit -- $110 $220 50% off

While this Greenworks power washer doesn't have as high a PSI, around 1,900 PSI, it is a lot more portable and a great option if you want something that's smaller and easier to take around with you. It comes with a 35-foot power chord and a 20-foot hose, so you get quite a bit of distance. If you are somewhere rural and need to clean stuff that doesn't have a power cable nearby, this is perfect. Besides that, we also appreciate that this comes with an 11-inch surface cleaner, which isn't something common with a lot of other power washers, even more expensive ones. Just be aware that you do need a My Best Buy subscription to be able to get the discount.

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.
