Electric scooters
are perfect to use
if you have a quick
daily commute, or
they can simply be
used as a fun way
to scoot around
the neighborhood.
An e-bike can make cycling easier if you
face challenging terrain, bike to work or
find regular cycling too physically challenging.
4. E-bike
Price: $250 to $9,000
Electric bikes, or e-bikes, are regular
bicycles with an electric motor that
can be engaged as needed. E-bikes are
becoming increasingly popular with
people who face challenging terrain,
bike to work and don't want to work
up a sweat, or perhaps find regular
cycling too physically challenging.
Studies also show that e-biking can bring
many of the same physical benefits as
non-assisted pedaling. They even come
in foldable versions. One downside is
they are heavier than regular bicycles.
5. Electric scooter
Price: $80 to $3,000
The $49 foldable, foot-powered scooter
that exploded onto the scene a decade
ago has grown up in a big way. In some
larger cities, electric scooters are now
available to rent at various locations,
found and paid for via app. Or you can
buy one to use for your daily commute
or as a fun way to simply scoot around
the neighborhood. Higher-quality
versions will have longer range, larger
tires and better suspension along with
a higher cost, of course. The catch is
that they're still largely confined to
paved surfaces.

6. Energy-efficient tablets
Price: $40 to $4,000
You may already have at least one
tablet in your home, but have you
considered how energy efficient it is?
Try this: Instead of using your TV to
binge that new show, consider an
ENERGY STAR-rated tablet, and you
can use seven times less power! Simply
look for the ENERGY STAR label
when you're shopping for new tablets.
Looking for an efficient gift that costs
practically nothing? Enjoy a good book
and a cozy evening at home, which
requires no energy use at all. Don't
forget to put on your favorite sweater
and pair of fuzzy slippers so you can
lower the thermostat a couple of
degrees. Now that's an energy-efficient
evening worth repeating!
