This story is part of Tech for Change: an ongoing series in which we shine a spotlight on positive uses of technology, and showcase how they're helping to make the world a better place.

EcoFlow, a manufacturer of portable energy solutions, has announced the launch of the Delta 2 Max — an eco-friendly solar generator that could replace your current gas generator. The device clocks in at 2,048 watts and should deliver enough power to keep your home running for two days as an emergency backup (or many more if you’re using it as an off-grid power source).

The original Delta Max was a popular item for outdoor adventures, as it could connect to the existing lineup of portable EcoFlow solar panels to juice up gadgets while out in the backcountry. That legacy continues with the Delta 2 Max, which features an upgraded lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery for a longer life cycle and faster charging.

“The Delta 2 Max delivers the cutting-edge technology, fast charging speed, and lightweight design our users are looking for in the portable power space,” said Brian Essenmacher, North American head of business development at EcoFlow. “As we continue to advance our products, we hope to encourage more people to make the switch to clean energy and reduce their carbon footprint with our easy-to-use sustainable solutions.”

The Delta 2 Max is said to have enough power to run up to 15 devices (including large appliances) without overloading. And if you pair it with a solar panel, the battery can go from fully drained to 80% in just 68 minutes. Toss in an ultra-quiet operating volume, a lightweight design, and a lengthy life span of 3,000 complete cycles, and the Delta 2 Max is an enticing option for both outdoor adventures and as an emergency backup for your home.

The Delta 2 Max will be listed for $1,899, though it can also be purchased in a bundle with a 220W solar panel for $2,548. It comes with a five-year warranty for peace of mind. For more details, check out the official listing on Amazon.

These adjustable weights are usually $500 — today they’re $200

The FitRx SmartRack and SmartBells Kit.

We’re always on the lookout for fitness deals, and we found a terrific Walmart offer we just had to shine some light on: Right now, you’ll be able to take home your very own FitRx SmartRack and SmartBells set for just $200. While that may not sound like a slam-dunk promotion, consider the fact that this fantastic weight set usually costs $500. This is a fantastic investment for those looking to upgrade old workout equipment, as well as anyone looking to pick up bells for the first time. And when you pair this offer with one of the many smartwatch deals we found this week, you’ll be able to take your exercise routine to an all-new level!

Why you should buy the FitRx SmartRack and SmartBells
If you don’t have an at-home workout space, you’ll know just how frustrating it can be to store exercise equipment. Most of these products aren’t exactly designed with “space-saving” in mind either, so we usually end up wedging weights and other gear in the corner of a room. One of the main ideas behind the FitRx bundle is providing you with top-shelf hardware that checks off the “space-saving” criteria too.

Folding e-bikes are amazing, if you can deal with these caveats

Lectric XP Lite

Riding e-bikes can be a wonderful way to exercise, or to simply spend time relaxing time outdoors. But bulky e-bikes can be a hassle for taking on the go or fitting in smaller spaces. Folding e-bikes can fit in trunk of your car and save space in tiny apartments, but they come with their own drawbacks. Are they the right fit for your life? We've broken down the pros and cons.

Of course, there are a wide variety of folding e-bikes that range from budget to premium, so this generalized list of pros and cons may not apply to absolutely every model on the market. We recommend you do your own research when you begin shopping for a new folding e-bike to be certain it meets your personal needs safely and effectively.
Pro: They save space
The most obvious benefit of a folding e-bike is that they, well, fold! Most e-bikes are very simple to collapse, allowing you to nearly halve their total size by folding them at the center. Many models even let you fold in their pedals and collapse the handlebars.
