Lectric XPress2 extra battery bundle for 100+ miles $1,399, Aventon Pace 5 + Level 4 REC e-bike launch, Segway S2 kids scooter, more

This roundup is about e-bike deals, not home energy upgrades, so it has little to do with retrofitting your house. Still, if you're weighing an e-bike as a way to cut car trips and household energy use, a few offers are worth knowing about.

Lectric is running a backorder bundle on its XPress2 Long-Range Step-Thru Cruiser e-bike for $1,399, which includes an extra battery pack (extending range past 100 miles) plus $723 worth of other gear at no added cost. Aventon has launched first-time discounts on two models: the upgraded Pace 5 REC Smart Cruiser at $1,599, and the Level 4 REC Smart Commuter at $1,799. Segway also opened pre-orders for its Ninebot S2 Kids Self-Balancing Scooter, currently $100 off.

None of these are home energy-efficiency products like heat pumps or weatherization gear, so they won't connect to rebate programs aimed at building upgrades. They're simply current e-bike and scooter deals for anyone shopping in that space. If you're not in the market for a bike or scooter, there's nothing here that affects plans for insulation, sealing, or heating and cooling upgrades in your home.
