Warmer weather is right around the corner, and to help make sure that you can tackle all of the spring and summer yard work that’s on the horizon, today we’re detailing a rare discount on the most capable tool in the Greenworks stable. Its recently-released CrossoverZ 42-inch Electric Riding Mower has been selling for $5,500 since last spring, and is now getting its very first price cut at $1,500 off. We also have a wide selection of Tesla and e-bike discounts in today’s New Green Deals, so you won’t want to miss that either.

Head below for other New Green Deals that we’ve found today and of course Electrek’s best EV buying and leasing deals. Also, check out the new Electrek Tesla Shop for the best deals on Tesla accessories.

Greenworks CrossoverZ electric riding mower on sale

Normally at 9to5 when we share electric mowers, we’re talking about the smaller models that while may be self-propelled, aren’t all too capable when it comes to handling larger properties. Greenworks is one of those fan-favorite brands that often gets the spotlight, and today we’re tracking a rare discount on one of its newer models that breaks that mold. Just last spring it launched a new lineup of 60V tools, and today the first price cut is going live on that new flagship release.

Courtesy of the official Greenworks storefront, its new 42-inch 60V Electric Zero Turn Mower is now down to $3,999.99 shipped. Normally fetching $5,500, you’re looking at not just the first chance to save, but also a new all-time low at $1,500 off. This capable mower is the most comprehensive mowing solution from Greenworks, and is now more affordable to make quick work of managing your lawn all summer long. Featuring a 60-minute runtime, this riding mower comes powered by six of the brand’s 8Ah batteries that allow it to traverse and cut 2.5 acres of land before needing to be topped off with the three included dual-battery chargers. CrossoverZ ditches gas and oil in the process, sporting a rear-wheel drive system that can handle up to 15-degree inclines.

Of course, all of that is made better by the $1,500 price cut that delivers a new all-time low just ahead of spring. It’ll ship right to your door to help you kick off the new season with a more environmentally-friendly tool in your lawn care kit. We also previously covered what to expect from the package back when it launched, too.

Hover-1’s new Night Owl Electric Folding Scooter with 37-mile range now $448 off

Amazon is now offering the Hover-1 Night Owl Electric Folding Scooter for $1,352.20 shipped. Normally fetching $1,800, you’re looking at the third-best price to date at $448 off. This comes within $52 of our previous mention from the first week of January while marking the third-best discount to date. Delivering quite the capable ride, the Hover-1 Night Owl packs a folding design that comes centered around 1,400W of power. The two 10.5-inch off-road tires deliver a smooth ride for all 37 miles of its built-in range, with a 31 MPH top speed completing the package alongside front and rear suspension. All of that makes it a notable solution to riding around this spring and beyond on a new EV. 

Our exclusive discount makes the Flyer M880 even more fun

Radio Flyer and Electrek have teamed up to offer our readers an exclusive sale on the new Flyer M880 Midtail Cargo E-Bike at $999 shipped with the code ELECTREK at checkout. Normally $1,799, today’s $800 savings marks the first discount that we’ve seen on the Flyer M880 and also a new all-time low that we’ve tracked. As Radio Flyer’s first entrance into the e-bike game, the Flyer M880 is a solid option to travel around the city with this spring. It features a rechargeable battery that allows you to ride for up to 50 miles on a single charge, making it easy to get from one side of the city to the other. You’ll also find a 500W motor which has five pedal assist levels and can propel you up to 20 MPH as well. There’s a LCD display to showcase speed, battery status, and more too. One other great feature is the puncture-resistant tires that help you avoid flats while riding. Dive into our hands-on review where we found the Flyer M880 to be “even more fun than their red wagons!”

Score four rechargeable eneloop pro AA batteries with charger at $31 (Reg. $40)

Amazon is now offering the a 4-pack of Panasonic eneloop Pro rechargeable AA batteries with bundled charger for $30.94 shipped. Normally fetching $40, you’re looking at the second-best price to date at within $1 of the all-time low. This is the best we’ve seen since back over last summer and amounts to 22% in overall savings. This starter bundle from Panasonic is the perfect solution for kickstarting a more environmentally-friendly setup. The four included AA batteries are a notable way to cut down on single-use consumables in everything from TV remotes to toys and other gadgets. In the box, you get everything you need including the companion charger, which can power up each of the rechargeable batteries’ 2,450mAh charges.

Also on sale today, Panasonic’s companion eneloop pro fast charger is now dropping to go alongside the lead bundle. Offering faster charging speeds than its standard offering, this wall adapter can refuel four of the AAs above at a time in just four hours, compared to the 9-hour speeds of the entry-level offering. Now sitting at $18.98, this is down from $25 and marking one of the best discounts to date at $1 below our previous mention.

Goal Zero’s Yeti 1000 Core helps weather power outages with $201 discount down to $899

Goal Zero’s official online storefront is now offering its Yeti 1000 Core Portable Power Station for $899 shipped. Typically fetching $1,100, you’re looking at a match of the all-time low with $201 in savings attached. This is the first discount we’ve seen since the Black Friday mention, which was the first price cut that hit this best price ever status. Ideal for keeping your gear running through tailgates and camping trips or just when the power goes out at home, this portable power station arrives with internal 983Wh capacity battery that’s more than well equipped for juicing up gadgets and appliances alike. There are notably seven different ways to refuel devices, ranging from a pair of full AC outlets to 60W USB-C, a car power port, and standard USB-A outputs. Get a closer look in our Tested with 9to5Toys review.

Going with the more affordable Goal Zero Yeti 500X Portable Power Station lets you bring home a reliable way to fend off power outages without spending quite as much as the lead deal. While not currently on sale, this one sells for $549 at Amazon and delivers a 505Wh battery on top of a similar array of ports as the Yeti 1000 Core above.

Momentum unveils upgraded Vida E+ e-bike with throttle and bigger motor

Momentum unveils upgraded Vida E+ e-bike with throttle and bigger motor

Momentum, the lifestyle-focused urban bike brand under Giant Group, has just launched the latest version of its popular Vida E+ electric bike – and this one’s all about making e-biking smoother, safer, and more accessible to riders of all experience levels.

The updated Vida E+ features a new 500W SyncDrive Move S motor offering 60Nm of torque and pedal assist up to 28 mph, designed to provide natural-feeling power whether you’re cruising to work or just exploring around town. The system uses a combination of sensors to analyze torque, speed, and cadence, automatically adjusting power output to match your pedaling effort.

According to Momentum, the motor engages with as little as 4Nm of pedal pressure and just 10° of crank movement, giving riders what they describe as an ultra-smooth and effortless start every time.

A new optional throttle adds another layer of convenience, letting riders cruise at speeds up to 20 mph without pedaling, which should be perfect for hills, traffic-heavy starts, or when you just want to relax and take it easy on the way home. The bike’s EnergyPak 700 battery provides up to a claimed 55 miles (88 km) of range on pedal assist or 43 miles (69 km) on throttle-only riding.

The Vida E+ also leans hard into comfort and safety. It sports a low-step aluminum frame for easy on-and-off, an 80 mm suspension fork, and wide 26×2.4-inch tires for stability and plushness. Four-piston hydraulic disc brakes ensure solid stopping power, while a new automatic motor cutoff feature stops assistance as soon as the brakes engage. The bike is UL 2849 certified, meaning it meets top-tier safety standards for batteries and electronics, which is a growing priority in the e-bike world as more cities and states consider requiring safety certification as a prerequisite.

With support for up to 300 pounds (136 kg) total load and optional racks front and rear, the Vida E+ is also built for everyday utility. And on the tech side, momentum’s RideControl app lets riders fine-tune speed and assistance, lock or unlock the bike electronically, and monitor battery health.

The new Momentum Vida E+ is available now through Giant Group’s nationwide dealer network with an MSRP of US$2,480.

Returning from a recall on its previous bike, Giant Group will now have an opportunity to see how the new version of the Momentum Vida E+ will fare.

VW just nuked its EV lease deals – while rivals sweeten theirs

VW just nuked its EV lease deals – while rivals sweeten theirs

VW’s US EV lease deals just went from hero to zero. Federal tax credits are now dead, the automaker has wiped out up to $12,000 in lease incentives on the ID.4, and ended $10,500 in discounts on the ID. Buzz. The move bucks the trend as other brands continue to sweeten their EV lease offers.

As of September 30, 2025, Volkswagen offered up to $12,350 in lease cash on the ID.4, depending on configuration. That included a $7,500 federal lease tax credit for lessees as Bonus Customer Cash, plus $3,500 to $4,850 in Dealer Lease Cash. It made the ID.4 one of the top EV lease deals around.

On October 1, those incentives vanished. While the ID.4 still has a 0% APR equivalent lease rate, drivers lost more than $12,000 in savings overnight. The ID. Buzz took a similar hit. Last month, the 2025 ID. Buzz offered $10,500 off MSRP between the $7,500 tax credit and $3,000 Dealer Lease Cash. Now, almost all lease cash is gone. VW Credit is offering just $750 in Dealer Lease Cash, and weirdly, not on models with two-tone paint. According to CarsDirect’s lease calculator, the lowest-priced ID. Buzz trim now carries an effective monthly cost topping $1,000 — a considerable jump.

For comparison, the ID. Buzz Pro S was previously advertised at $589 a month for 36 months with $5,999 due at signing, or an effective monthly cost of $756.

The ID.4 lease once cost just $233 a month, making it one of the cheapest EVs to lease. According to updated estimates, that figure is now north of $800 – that’s hair-raising.

Meanwhile, VW’s rivals are going in the opposite direction. Ford extended its Mustang Mach-E lease deals through early January. Subaru’s updated 2026 Solterra still qualifies for the $7,500 lease credit, and Jeep replaced the expiring EV lease credit with equivalent bonus cash.

If you really want a Volkswagen, though, there’s some good news: financing deals haven’t changed. The 2025 ID.4 continues to offer 0% APR for 72 months, and buyers of the ID. Buzz can still get up to $3,250 in Bonus Customer Cash through November 3, a perk unavailable to lessees.

It kinda seems like VW doesn’t want to lease their EVs anymore…?? Let me know your thoughts in the comments below.
