Weekly Deals: REI Spring Bike Sale, Meier Demo Skis, and More

REI Co-op Gen E Electric Bikes: 20% for REI Co-Op Members

During REI’s annual Spring Bike sale, Co-op members save up to $400 on Co-op Cycles Gen E Electric Bikes. Two Gen E models are available: e1.1 and e1.2. Both options come with a practical step-thru X-shaped aluminum frame, and both offer pedal assist modes that can reach an efficient 20 mph.

Of the two models, the e1.2 is slightly more capable in a variety of ways. First, the 1.2 has 672 Wh of battery capacity versus 417 Wh in the e1.1. That translates to roughly 10 extra miles of range per charge, and a slightly longer charge time. The 1.2 also comes with front suspension in case you plan to occasionally ride off the pavement or on rough roads. And the 1.2 comes with a front cargo rack, while the 1.1 does not.

Still, both models are well-equipped for hauling gym bags, yoga mats, shopping bags, and baskets.

Whichever model you choose, these REI Co-op e-bikes are all about utility. They’re sturdy, simple, and affordably priced.

Mammut Wall Rider Climbing Helmet: $48 (60% Off)

As sure as the sun rises in the morning, parents of rock climbers text their children to WEAR A HELMET! Fortunately, this request is easy to comply with in 2023.

With a low-profile dome and simple adjustment system, the Wall Rider is a great example of how climbing helmets have improved since the construction-style behemoths ruled the ’90s.

Currently, the blue version of the Wall Rider is on sale at Backcountry for a generous 60% off.
