Leisurely enjoy errands and joyrides on Lectric’s XP Trike with $420 bundle at $1,499 ($1,919 value)

It’s the final day of Lectric’s April Showers Sale with up to $654 being taken off e-bike bundles, which the brand has provided a countdown clock for through the rest of the day. We wanted to shine a spotlight on the bundle for the Lectric’s XP Trike that is coming with $420 in free gear at $1,499 shipped. You’d normally have to shell out $1,919 to get this package at full price, which sits among some of the largest bundles we have been seeing over the last year. With the additional gear, you’ll be upgrading your riding experience with steel-encased front and rear cargo baskets, a wide saddle with a backrest, a suspension seat post, an Elite 850 lux headlight, and a bell.

Lectric’s XP Trike is an ideal model for folks who enjoy taking leisurely rides around town, especially older riders – plus, with the bonus add-on gear you’ll get more versatility for cargo-hauling needs. The folding frame houses a 500W planetary geared brushless motor that peaks upwards to 1,092Wh alongside a removable 48V 13Ah battery, providing you with 14 MPH top speeds for up to 50 miles when its five pedal assistance levels are activated. Inexperienced riders will also get some added support in its default mode, which limits the acceleration and speed until you get more comfortable with its system.

And for the price, Lectric’s XP Trike comes with a solid array of stock features too, like the hydraulic brakes and additional parking brake for guaranteed stopping power, as well as others including integrated rear lights (with brake lighting), slimmer tires for easier turning, an ergonomic twist throttle for electric cruising (which will shorten its mileage), and a backlit LCD display. On top of everything, the build comes with an IP65 water-and-dust-resistant protection rating.

Be sure to check out the full lineup of Lectric’s April Showers Sale offers, which are seeing up to $654 taken off the other e-bike bundles through the rest of the day.

You can save up to 60% on EcoFlow’s DELTA Max or DELTA Pro power station setups for today only starting from $849

As part of its soon-to-end Easter Sale and alternate Mega Sale, EcoFlow is closing out these sales tonight with its final flash offers on three different backup power deals, starting with the DELTA Max 2000 Portable Power Station for $849 shipped. We usually see discounts hitting this model’s bundles over the standalone unit, which is being brought down from its $2,099 price tag here for the rest of the day (and sale). We saw it fall lower back during Black Friday sales to $799 and then $759 during Cyber Monday, with today’s deal still coming in as a significant $1,250 in savings, beating out our previous mention during the brand’s Spring Sale by $50 to land down at the third-lowest price we have tracked. You won’t currently find it available at Amazon, with this being the best price we can find right now.

While it may not be the newer second-generation model with shorter charge times and LiFePO4 cells, you’ll still be getting a reliable backup power solution in EcoFlow’s DELTA Max 2000, which offers an equally expandable 2,016Wh to 6,048Wh capacity when you add on expansion batteries. Through its 15 port options it dishes out up to 2,400W of power that can surge up to 3,400W for larger appliance needs too. The battery can be recharged to 80% in just 65 minutes through a standard wall outlet, with alternate options for combination fast-charging, including AC and solar, AC and a generator, or solar and a generator. Of course, you can also solely connect up to its maximum 800W solar input that can refill the battery in 2.5 hours, as well as be used for the previously mentioned combo charging.

The second of these offers bundles the DELTA Pro Portable Power Station with a free protective bag at $1,899 shipped, down from $3,699. While you can find it matching in price at Amazon, you won’t be getting the additional bag there. This is a larger model offering a more expansive setup, this unit comes with a 3,600Wh LiFePO4 capacity that you can invest in further to raise as high as 25kWh. It sports 14 output ports but provides power at up to 3,600W normally while able to surge to 7,200W when needed. Plugging it into a wall outlet gives you back a full battery in 1.8 hours, with its max 1,600W solar input taking a little longer at 2.8 hours.

The final of these offers provides you with two DELTA Pro Smart Extra Batteries for $2,899 shipped over the usual $5,598 rate you’d pay at full price. By adding these to a DELTA Pro power station, you’ll increase its capacity by an additional 7,200Wh, so grabbing them with the above discount would score you a 10,800Wh setup for trips, parties, emergencies, and more.

It’s the final day of EcoFlow’s sales, so be sure to browse through both its Easter Sale and Mega Sale offers while they’re still around and at up to 65% off – plus, the bonus savings, free gear, and rewards.

Affordably cover lawn duties with this Worx 40V 17-inch cordless mower that adapts to grass at $266 (Today only)

As part of its Deals of the Day, Best Buy has two Worx discounts that will affordably get you geared up for spring mowing duties, led by the brand’s 40V 17-inch Cordless Electric Lawn Mower that comes with two 4.0Ah batteries for $265.99 shipped, and matches in price over at Amazon too. Coming down off its $330 perch, most of the recent discounts we’ve seen on this older model have been taking things down to $280, with some falls as low as $247 in the last year. You’re looking at $64 off the going rate here today though, which provides you with a tried-and-true means to handle mowing jobs around your home. Head below to learn more about it and the additional one-day-only offer.

New-time homeowners will find a budget-friendly solution to their mowing needs with this 40V Worx mower that comes powered by the two included 20V 4.0Ah batteries to tackle up to 1/8 acres of land on a single charge. It weighs in at only 35 pounds, making it easy to manage and sports the brand’s Intellicut tech that can either ramp up or dial back the motor’s power depending on the thickness of grass that it moves through. It offers six cutting height levels to choose from, ranging from 1.5 inches to 4 inches while also providing 2-in-1 functionality for either rear bagging (complete with an indicator for a full bag) or mulching. You also won’t have to wrestle with any pull strings thanks to the push-button start nor the fumes or noise you’d get from gas-guzzling models.

Now, with the above bundle, the two batteries will take two hours to charge at the same time with the included dual-port charger, or just 1 hour apiece. Of course, with these all being within Worx’s PowerShare family, batteries can be interchanged, which makes Best Buy’s additional deal for a 20V 4.0Ah battery at $74.99 shipped, quite a solid means to extend the mower’s runtime with more batteries that you can keep switching in and out with one another.

Best new Green Deals landing this week

Winter means you can lock in even better off-season price cuts on electric tools for the lawn while saving on EVs and tons of other gear.

Tesla insurance premiums are increasing at more than twice the rate of the rest of the US auto market due to higher repair costs and amid increased instances of vandalism on Tesla vehicles.

Insurance on Tesla vehicles has always been fairly high, so much so that it encouraged Tesla to launch its own insurance product to try to mitigate the issue.

However, most Tesla owners still use insurance from other providers.

Insurance premiums in the US have been increasing across the board over the last year, and especially over the last few months, as the market fears the tariffs will increase auto industry repair costs.

A new study from Insurify shows that the average cost of full coverage has increased by 10% year over year, from $2,102 to $2,302.

The study also points to insurance premiums on Tesla vehicles increasing at about twice the rate of the rest of the market, and the Model Y premiums increased by almost 3 times the rest of the market increase:

Three Tesla models saw the sharpest increase in full-coverage insurance costs between 2024 and 2025, with the rates for the Tesla Model Y rising 2.9 times faster than the national average.

In fact, the study ranked the top 10 vehicles that saw the highest premium increases in the US:

1. Tesla Model Y
   • Percentage increase in the cost of full coverage (2024–2025): 29%
   • Average annual cost of full coverage (2025): $3,996
2. Tesla Model 3
   • Percentage increase in the cost of full coverage (2024–2025): 24%
   • Average annual cost of full coverage (2025): $4,364
3. Tesla Model X
   • Percentage increase in the cost of full coverage (2024–2025): 22%
   • Average annual cost of full coverage (2025): $4,046
4. BMW 5 Series
   • Percentage increase in the cost of full coverage (2024–2025): 19%
   • Average annual cost of full coverage (2025): $3,229
5. Toyota Prius
   • Percentage increase in the cost of full coverage (2024–2025): 18%
   • Average annual cost of full coverage (2025): $2,151
6. Hyundai Santa Fe
   • Percentage increase in the cost of full coverage (2024–2025): 15%
   • Average annual cost of full coverage (2025): $2,241
7. Honda Accord
   • Percentage increase in the cost of full coverage (2024–2025): 14%
   • Average annual cost of full coverage (2025): $2,623
8. Hyundai Elantra
   • Percentage increase in the cost of full coverage (2024–2025): 14%
   • Average annual cost of full coverage (2025): $2,851
9. Honda Civic
   • Percentage increase in the cost of full coverage (2024–2025): 13%
   • Average annual cost of full coverage (2025): $2,600
10. Hyundai Sonata
    • Percentage increase in the cost of full coverage (2024–2025): 12%
    • Average annual cost of full coverage (2025): $2,735

The study used 97 million quotes between February 2024 and February 2025 to arrive at these results.

Therefore, it’s likely that the increased instances of vandalism against Tesla vehicles had an impact on these results, but it’s likely that higher repair costs are having a bigger impact.

Teslas are notoriously expensive to repair after a collision, and insurance companies often salvage them because of this.

The automaker is trying to address the issue by opening its own body shops to try to get the repair costs under control. It seemingly has yet to have a positive impact on insurance premiums.

California is set to shake up how out-of-class electric two-wheelers are regulated, as a newly proposed bill, SB 586, aims to clarify the status of electric bikes without pedals, officially dubbing them “eMotos” and classifying them as off-highway vehicles.

The new bill, introduced by Senator Brian Jones, tackles the confusing gray area surrounding pedal-less electric bicycles, which currently skate between classifications of bicycles, scooters, and motorcycles.

These types of electric two-wheelers are often referred to as Sur Ron-style bikes due to the popularity of Sur Ron motorbikes that launched the infamous format. In addition to Sur Ron, similar models can be found from manufacturers such as Talaria, E Ride Pro, Segway, and others. They are generally smaller than typical motorcycles or dirt bikes, often weighing around 100 to 140 lb (45-65 kg) and usually reaching top speeds of between 40-55 mph (65-80 km/h). Despite looking somewhat similar to conventional electric bicycles due to the use of like-sized frames, they lack pedals and function more like light dirt bikes.

Other than the catch-all term “Sur Ron-style” bikes, there hasn’t been a good name for this rapidly growing unofficial class of two-wheeler, at least not until now. Under SB 586, a new class of “eMotos” is explicitly defined as including electric two-wheeled vehicles built on “bicycle frames” but lacking pedals and traditional engine identification numbers, and not requiring traditional vehicle registration.

Instead, the new bill would have these “eMotos” regulated like other off-road vehicles, such as dirt bikes and ATVs, requiring them to have an official identification plate issued by California’s DMV.

If the bill passes, riders would need to follow established off-highway vehicle regulations, which include mandatory helmet use and restrictions on where these vehicles can be operated. The legislation also mandates the California Highway Patrol (CHP) and local law enforcement to create educational programs to promote the safe and compliant use of these vehicles in off-road areas.

California’s Division of Off-Highway Motor Vehicle Recreation would collaborate with the CHP to develop comprehensive guidelines for using eMotos in designated state recreation zones, ensuring users understand their responsibilities and legal boundaries.

This would bring these Sur Ron-style e-bikes into the fold with a new legal classification, however they would still not be permitted on public roadways. Instead, their Off-Highway Vehicle classification would allow them to be legally used on public off-road trails, which is one of the main applications they were originally designed for – at least until they fell into favor with you riders who now use them largely for illegal street riding.

This legislative move addresses growing concerns around safety and enforcement difficulties caused by the current ambiguous classification of pedal-less electric two-wheelers like these, which aren’t designed to operate as street-legal electric motorcycles despite exceeding electric bicycle regulatory limits.

By explicitly categorizing eMotos as off-highway vehicles, California aims to eliminate confusion, enhance rider safety, and streamline law enforcement efforts in managing the booming popularity of electric mobility solutions.

Electrek’s Take

I largely agree with this move to create a legal classification for these bikes, even if the term “eMotos” isn’t a great choice. These pedal-less electric motorbikes were never designed with urban streets in mind. Most were built for fire roads, dirt paths, and off-road exploration – places where speed, power, and the lack of pedals make more sense and pose fewer safety concerns. By classifying them as off-highway vehicles, California is making it clear how and where these machines should be ridden, and that clarity is long overdue. This could also help prevent misuse on public streets and sidewalks, which has become a growing concern in many cities.

For folks who really want to ride these types of vehicles on the streets and treat them like mini-motorcycles, there are already street-legal versions like the NIU XQi3 that have jumped through all the regulatory hoops to design them for street-legal riding in North America. But for almost all the other ones out there, they just aren’t designed for road use and so that’s not where they should be.
