I recently reviewed the Mars 2.0, another recent e-bike from Heybike, and I loved it. The Heybike Horizon went on sale last week and is currently priced at $1699.99. The Mars 2.0 currently sells for $1099.99. What is the difference between the two, and what justifies the added $600 expenditure? How about a Horst-link rear suspension and hydraulic front suspension, 24 “×4” fat tires, as well as hydraulic brakes and headlight and back/brake lights both with turn signals? How does it stack up? Let’s take a look.

The MeatStick is a wireless meat thermometer that makes monitoring smoked meats clean and easy. The advantage of wireless sensors is evident as there is less tangle danger, and placement can be anywhere in the pit. Wireless meat thermometers have come a long way, and the MeatStick 4X is a perfect example of this advanced technology.
I love to cook and love to eat. Along with that comes a love for cooking tools and gadgets. No great cook can make it without a great cutting board. I was sent the new MEATER Board to try out with some of my smoked meats, and I was not disappointed.
Heybike, founded in 2021, is a relative newcomer to the electric bicycle market. They offer a variety of e-bike types, including commuter bikes, folding bikes, and fat tire bikes. The recently released Heybike Mars 2.0 is an upgraded version of their best-selling e-bike, the Heybike Mars.
Are you looking for a way to make indoor and outdoor gatherings cozier? Are you looking for a sustainable heater that doesn’t add to your electric or gas bills? Do you want something that looks great and is portable? If any of that resonates, it’s time you took a look at the Tornado Terracotta Heater & Oil Diffuser. It’s on Kickstarter with 21 days to go, and it’s already 100% funded, with shipping slated for February 2024 — while it’s still cold enough to get some use before the weather changes again.
Ride1Up, the San Diego-based electric bike company that produces the REVV1 (AKA, my daily driver), recently released their first folding bike, the Ride1Up Portola. It is impressive on its own, and when you take into account the fact that it is under $1000 yet doesn’t feel like a “budget” electric bike, it is a truly compelling offering.

We recently had a thunderstorm that knocked the power out at my school. I was stuck across the street in the football field house, but my first class came in and used the Growatt VITA 550 I was reviewing to charge their devices. I often bring items I have in for review to show my tech classes, and they were excited to have access to this product in particular.
Are you interested in a more economical way to run errands or commute? Or are you of a certain age, and the idea of riding a bike seems a bit daunting? If so, you should check out the Rad Power Bikes RadRunner Plus; it’s a Class 2 electric bike with a fun, moped-like design that boasts a powerful 750W rear-geared hub motor and a 48V, 14Ah (672 Wh) battery. With top speeds of 20mph on pure pedal assist and a range of up to 45 miles, it might just become your new favorite way of getting around.
Wireless speakers have been around for a long time and are available in every price range. In order to stand out in the marketplace and be priced at $129.99 (down from the original $169.99), the House of Marley Get Together 2 Mini would need to excel in many ways to justify the cost. Do they succeed? In my opinion, wholeheartedly yes.
In the search for new outdoor games, PaddleSmash emerges as a breath of fresh air, offering an exhilarating blend of physical activity, strategy, and pure fun. This innovative outdoor game combines the gameplay of Pickeball and Spikeball. Let’s look at what makes PaddleSmash a great new option for active families and friends.

The Uncharted Supply Co. First Aid Plus adds some helpful survival items to their latest kit, which makes it even more useful. Let’s take a look.
Yoshino is bringing a new solid-state battery technology to a new power station. Most of the power stations I have reviewed use LifePO4 battery technology, which does work great. Instead, the Yoshino B4000 SST uses Solid-State Lithium batteries, bringing a class-leading power-to-weight ratio. Long story short, this power station packs a big punch in a small package.
The new HeyBike Ranger S is described as “a compact space-saver that won’t weigh you down.” After a few weeks of using one, I would describe it as a well-featured, well-built, powerful e-bike at an affordable price. With a 750W motor that delivers plenty of power, this folding bike ticks many boxes; I’ve been impressed with its ride and durability.
I recently reviewed the BLUETTI AC200MAX Expandable Power Station, which I found to be an excellent source of off-grid power. But when paired with the BLUETTI PV350 Solar Panel, you get a duo that is perfect for off-grid camping, and that’s also handy for keeping electronics and small appliances running during extended power outages — as long as you’ve got some sunlight to use for charging and it’s not raining or snowing. Let’s take a look.

Most electric scooters offer the same experience; you get on, ride, and, assuming the motor is powerful enough, you can easily zip around during your commute. But what if part of getting to work means carrying your scooter onto a bus or subway or inside the office once you’ve arrived? With most scooters weighing up to 60 pounds, that can be tricky. But the 700W NIU KQi Air series offers something that should help; each of the two new models has a carbon fiber frame, weighing under 27 pounds.
I recently tested out the Ausom Leopard Electric Scooter, and I must say, I’m thoroughly impressed. This sleek and innovative electric scooter is built like a tank.

The Leopard retails for $949.99, but read on for $50 off!
