PHOENIX (July 10, 2023) – Lectric eBikes, the industry leading eBike brand and the maker of the country’s best-selling eBike model, has donated more than 1,000 eBikes to individuals in need, via a partnership with Beast Philanthropy. Individuals in need of reliable transportation are encouraged to enter for a chance to win at this link. Since Lectric began working with Beast Philanthropy this past January, the brand has donated over $1 million to support philanthropic projects in several countries.

“Doing good in the world is an integral part of Lectric eBike’s DNA. Partnering with Beast Philanthropy on their philanthropic missions was a natural fit from the beginning, and we’re excited to have expanded our partnership with the recent donation of 1,000 Lectric eBikes,” said Levi Conlow, co-founder and CEO of Lectric. “eBikes can make a significant positive impact on the lives of individuals, especially those who are struggling because to a lack of reliable transportation. We’re proud to support Beast Philanthropy and their philanthropic endeavors.”

The giveaway is part of a recent philanthropic project between Lectric eBikes and Beast Philanthropy, in which Lectric donated cargo eBikes to water delivery workers in Kenya, helping them efficiently deliver clean drinking water. These water delivery people are essential to their communities, where clean drinking water must be delivered from the desalination plants to homes directly. Lectric’s cargo XPedition eBike has helped increase efficiency, carrying capacity and profitability for those individuals and their families. The brand donated a total of 25 eBikes to individuals in Kenya and Haiti as part of the initial project and will expand its efforts by donating another 1,000 eBikes for the Beast Philanthropy to distribute to individuals in need across the United States.

“Our goal at Beast Philanthropy is to help as many people as possible. Lectric eBikes shares the same goal, so working with them on projects is a terrific match,” said Darren Margolias, executive director of Beast Philanthropy. “We’re very excited about this project, as Lectric’s eBikes can provide reliable transportation for individuals to get to work, school, medical treatments and more.”

Beast Philanthropy is a nonprofit that leverages the power of social media platforms to raise funds to make the world a better place through alleviating hunger, homelessness and unemployment. It was established after founder Jimmy Donaldson, MrBeast, received his first YouTube sponsorship deal and was determined to transform the money into something good.

Lectric eBikes has donated over $1 million to help support Beast Philanthropy’s projects since the partnership began in January 2023. Throughout the partnership, Lectric has helped to rebuild Baphumelele Children’s Home in South Africa, provided updated infrastructure and internet to a remote island in Columbia, donated clothes and shoes to thousands of individuals and most recently donated 1,000 eBikes to individuals in need.

[Dover, NH / Los Angeles, CA July 6, 2023] — NEMO, the award-winning, independent designer of outdoor gear and accessories built to improve the adventure experience, has announced a recycling partnership with Ambercycle, a Los Angeles-based leading innovator in circular textiles. Ambercycle utilizes novel molecular regeneration technology to transform end-of-life textiles into premium, like-new cycora® material. This collaboration, introduced as an extension of NEMO’s Endless Promise™ program, marks a significant milestone in the brand’s journey towards a 100% recyclable product line. By joining forces, NEMO and Ambercycle are spearheading a cultural shift that encourages the consideration of a product’s end-of-life from the initial design stages.

Endless Promise is a collection of NEMO products designed to be 100% recyclable when they’ve taken their last adventure.  The collection debuted in 2023 with the launch of the Forte™ Endless Promise™ synthetic sleeping bag, a best-selling model from NEMO’s market-leading line of Spoon™ shaped sleeping bags. In 2024, NEMO will extend the Endless Promise Collection to include down sleeping bags and backpacks. NEMO’s commitment to circular design, partnered with Ambercycle’s innovative technology, has resulted in the ability to recycle products that historically have had limited end-of-life options.

Through Ambercycle’s revolutionary technology, Endless Promise products ready to be recycled will be transformed into premium-quality polyester yarns, ensuring that each item can live on endlessly as a new creation.  To close the loop and deliver true circularity, NEMO is working to incorporate cycora® regenerated material in future product launches. The brand is also collaborating with its supply chain to divert textile production waste to Ambercycle. This textile-to-textile recycling process allows materials to flow through continuous cycles of life, minimizing waste and maximizing resource utilization.

“We are thrilled to partner with Ambercycle in expanding our Endless Promise circularity program to down bags and backpacks,” said Theresa McKenney, Director of Sustainability at NEMO. “Over 87% of NEMO’s environmental impacts happen before our products leave the factory; emissions are embedded in our gear. It’s on us as brands to keep these products out in the world and out of the landfill as long as possible. We’ve built repair and resale networks, but recyclability has been elusive. Through meticulous trials and collaborative analysis with Ambercycle, we now have a true circularity solution for key products in our line. We hope this becomes a case study of what can and should be done by the outdoor industry.”

“It’s exciting to help enable true circularity for NEMO, from consolidating end-of-life textiles to seamlessly integrating cycora® material into high-quality adventure gear. By collaborating with brands like NEMO, we are building first-of-a-kind circular solutions in the outdoor industry.” says Shay Sethi, CEO and co-founder, Ambercycle.

The partnership between NEMO and Ambercycle marks a pivotal moment in the outdoor gear industry, where sustainability and circularity take centerstage. By combining their expertise, they are redefining the norms and setting an example for collaboration and technical introspection. Together, they demonstrate the transformative power of turning circular theory into tangible action.

About NEMO

NEMO is a New Hampshire-based outdoor gear company known for creating award-winning products that are built to last, comfortable, and fun to use. Named one of Outside Magazine’s and Business New Hampshire’s Best Places to Work, NEMO has also been recognized as a small business leader for the environment by New Hampshire Businesses for Social Responsibility.

Bainbridge Island, WA – July 6, 2023 – Since 2019, award-winning outdoor heating brand Ignik has consistently introduced innovative products focused on better outdoor heating solutions that are safer and produce less waste. The brand is thrilled to announce its newest addition to the FireCan line, the FireCan Elite Portable Fire Pit. Joining its two predecessors, the original FireCan and the FireCan Deluxe, the FireCan Elite is the next evolution of the FireCan, offering more power, a lighter-weight design, more control, and availability to consumers in Canada as well as the United States.

“With the ever-present threat of wildfires, we designed the FireCan Elite specifically for the Canadian market as part of our mission in promoting the use of forest-safe campfires,” says Ignik’s Marketing and Product Development Director Peter Pontano. “With Canadian wildfires having an early season impact on both Canada and the U.S., we’ve expedited the launch of this product into the U.S. market to help further inspire campers to play it safe when making a fire. The FireCan Elite has been designed to meet the highest safety, performance, and certification requirements in North America, to receive the stringent CSA Certification (ANS Z21.97-2017 | CSA 2.41-2017), making it our most advanced fire pit yet.”

FireCan Elite features a lighter weight design, more powerful flames, and is CSA Certified

FireCan Elite Portable Fire Pit’s elevated design includes advanced features that offer more heat while meeting rigorous safety standards. FireCan Elite is constructed with a new high-pressure 5 psi, quick-release propane output that’s CSA Certified and puts out an impressive 55K BTU per hour, making its flames even more powerful than the original FireCan and the FireCan Deluxe while being safety certified at the highest level. The Elite features the line’s signature ammo can design with updates like a stainless steel construction with an anodized aluminum removable lid, and a new Integrated Flame Control Knob on the fire pit for convenient flame control. Weighing in at 10.1 pounds, the FireCan Elite is Ignik’s lightest, most compact, and most durable FireCan to date.

“FireCan Elite’s increased heat output is ideal for warming more people and is perfect for camping, overlanding, and anyone looking to save weight in their gear setup, and its new safety features make it available to our friends in Canada,” says Pontano. “Our original FireCan offers a campfire anywhere for car campers, solo campers, and solo overlanders, whereas the FireCan Deluxe is a great two-in-one solution for outdoor grilling and heating. By adding another option to our FireCan line, we’re excited to offer folks more choices when deciding which FireCan is right for them!”

The FireCan Elite will be released at the 2023 Overland Expo PNW show and will be available to U.S. consumers at ignik.com, TrailRecon, and Trademark Adventure Outfitters. It’s available to consumers in Canada at ignik.com, Mountain Equipment Company, and SAIL. MSRP: $249.99. All of Ignik’s FireCans easily hook up to its refillable portable propane solutions or any propane source. For all press inquiries, contact Stacy Kline at stacy@darbycommunications.com.

WALTHAM, MA (July 6, 2023) – Carbon-plated shoes married with PEBA-powered midsoles first burst onto the scene in marathon racing products because the unique combination of the responsive foam and propulsive carbon plate allowed competitive athletes to go further, faster with less wear and tear on their legs. For that purpose, super shoes were largely engineered for race day with ultra-lightweight, minimal uppers and a full-length plate engineered for speed. But those same benefits can be found by engineering a PB-powered, carbon-fiber plate-equipped every day running shoe specifically to make running effortless. Today, with the launch of the Kinvara Pro, global running lifestyle brand Saucony does just that. The Kinvara Pro will be available August 1 at saucony.com and select retailers globally.

The Kinvara Pro, featuring Saucony’s SPEEDROLL™ Technology, uses three of the brand’s premium cushioning compounds: PWRRUN PB™, strategically placed closest to the foot and delivering 90% energy return; a foundation of PWRRUN™ for more protection and durability at ground contact than what is found in a marathon racing shoe; and a PWRRUN+™ sockliner to further enhance comfort. Sandwiched in between the layered cushioning system is a 3/4 carbon-fiber plate delivering a gentle forward roll, while the S-curve midsole shape and flexible forefoot provide a lightweight and efficient feel accommodating daily training. A durable and supportive upper built for everyday use completes the Kinvara Pro package.

“This year, as we celebrate Saucony’s 125^th anniversary, we look back on how innovation, evolution and an unwavering focus on the runner have always been part of Saucony’s deep-rooted heritage,” said Brian Moore, senior vice president of global product for Saucony. “The Endorphin Collection, with SPEEDROLL Technology, opened a new chapter in the brand’s legacy of innovation, delivering effortless race day speed for the ultimate go-fast experience. Yet, regular runners told us they wanted to experience a PB- powered, carbon-plated ride on training days as well. As an industry leader in the geometry, foam and plate formula, we believe an efficient and effortless ride should be available to everyone and on every run. The all-new Kinvara Pro democratizes our innovation so that every runner can appreciate an efficient and effortless running experience, ultimately realizing the best version of themselves day in and day out.”

Kinvara Pro Features

• SPEEDROLL Technology provides gentle roll forward

• Dual cushioning with PWRRUN PB for supreme energy return and a stack of PWRRUN for durable daily comfort

• PWRRUN+ sockliner

• Wider platform accommodates a variety of foot strikes and provides secure and smooth transitions
