The RinseKit gets an upgrade with more capacity and a water heater

When the original RinseKit was first introduced in 2016 it was hailed as a great addition to any outdoor enthusiasts’ gear closet. The device made it easy to carry a pressurized tank of water with you anywhere you go, allowing for a quick shower at the campsite, giving the dog a bath in the backyard, or just washing down dirty gear. Best of all, the RinseKit uses only the water pressure it generates when connected to a faucet or spigot to provide its steady stream of water, not requiring batteries or a water pump of any kind. Now, a second- generation model is available, and it brings some much-appreciated upgrades to the device.

The new RinseKit Lux Tote is a soft-sided version that functions similarly to the original, but with a few nice new tricks up its sleeve. For starters, the Lux offers 50 percent more capacity, allowing users to carry up to three gallons of water with them where ever they go. The Lux also features a removable tank that allows it to double as a cooler too, making it a more versatile piece of gear all around.

When introducing the Lux, RinseKit also unveiled some interesting new accessories that can extend its functionality a bit further. The most intriguing of those is the Hot Rod water heater, which draws power from the 12-volt DC port (cigarette lighter) in a car to warm the water temperature up to a level that is perfect for taking a hot shower. The heater includes a timer to automatically shut it off after a preset period of time and an eight-foot long cord that allows it to reach a fair distance from the vehicle that it is plugged into.

The Lux and the Hot Rod aren’t the only new products from RinseKit either. The RinseKit Plus is a new model that resembles the original version, but also comes with expanded storage capacity and a longer spray-time. It is compatible with the water heater, as well as the new Pressure Booster Pump, which gives users the ability to add extra water pressure to a tank without access to a standard faucet or spigot.

All of the new products are available now with the RinseKit Lux and RinseKit Plus priced at $160 and $100, respectively. The Hot Rod water heater costs $70 while the Pressure Booster Pump is $35. Find out more not he RinseKit website.

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?

Take a minute to browse through the e-bike category, and you'll see lots of options but not many that I would classify as accessible. As far as technology goes, they can be pretty expensive, especially compared to your everyday traditional pedal bike. So, it makes sense that most people would wait until the holiday season, including Black Friday and Cyber Monday, to get a great deal on a new bike. Prices are at their lowest ever, and it's a great time to save some money. But guess what? You don't have to wait until later in November to save big because Velotric, a premium-quality e-bike maker, is hosting a huge sale right now. You can head over now to take a look, otherwise, we're going to explore some of those Velotric e-bike deals that are available.

What are these "Lower-Than-Black-Friday" Velotric e-bike deals?

Velotric is claiming these deals are "better" than Black Friday, so they better be good, right? Don't worry, they are. For example, you can grab the Velotric Go 1 Ebike for $400 off, while still getting it in a bundle that includes two free gears. That price is currently $1,299, normally $1,700. The Go 1 features a 500-watt motor, supports a maximum load of 440 pounds, and can travel up to 55 miles on a single charge. Pretty impressive. It's also designed to lug cargo, like a picnic basket, day bag, or even camping gear. That's mostly thanks to a lower center of gravity for the frame and hydraulic suspension system.
