Life EV Acquires Rad Power Bikes Following Bankruptcy Filing Life Electric Vehicles Holdings (Life EV) has officially acquired Rad Power Bikes, including its intellectual property, inventory, and certain operating assets, for $13.2 million. Rad Power Bikes, a prominent electric bicycle company that raised nearly $330 million in venture capital, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in December after struggling financially for several months. Life EV plans to maintain Rad Power Bikes' operations under the existing brand in the United States and expand retail presence in select key markets. The company has assured existing customers that warranties and gift cards will be honored. Based in Florida, Life EV specializes in acquiring, developing, and scaling electric bicycle and micro-mobility brands. The acquisition of Rad Power Bikes aligns with Life EV’s strategy of expanding its footprint across North America. Life EV also holds an equity stake in LEV Manufacturing, Inc., which acquired the Serial 1 premium electric bicycle brand, originally developed by Harley-Davidson. This move highlights Life EV's continued effort to consolidate and strengthen its position in the growing electric mobility sector.

Paramount Skydance Submits Final $31-Per-Share Bid for Warner Bros Discovery Amid Competing Netflix Offer Paramount Skydance has submitted a revised “best and final” offer to acquire Warner Bros Discovery (WBD), intensifying a high-stakes takeover battle with Netflix. The new proposal values WBD shares at $31 each, an increase from the previous $30 offer, and includes additional fees. Warner Bros Discovery acknowledged that the improved bid could reasonably lead to a superior proposal compared with existing agreements. Netflix, which has already signed an agreement with WBD and has been considered the preferred bidder, recently raised its own offer to $27.75 per share in cash. However, the two bids differ in scope. Netflix is seeking to acquire WBD’s production and streaming assets, while Paramount Skydance aims to purchase the entire company. The WBD board granted Paramount Skydance a one-week extension to submit its final offer, with Netflix’s consent. Netflix now has four days to either revise its proposal or withdraw. Paramount Skydance’s pursuit has included a hostile takeover attempt marked by legal pressure. The company has approached shareholders directly, initiated legal action to obtain financial data, and threatened to nominate directors at WBD’s annual meeting to secure board approval. A successful merger—whether with Paramount Skydance or Netflix—would represent one of the largest media deals in history. The outcome could significantly reshape the entertainment landscape, affecting film production, streaming strategies, and the future of cinema releases. Netflix’s preference for direct-to-streaming film distribution has raised questions about the longevity of traditional theatrical runs. Meanwhile, a Paramount Skydance acquisition would consolidate major news brands such as CNN and CBS News under one corporate umbrella, prompting concerns about media concentration.
