With today’s sale, you’ll save $450 from its normal going rate of this e-bike and enjoy a new all-time low that we’ve tracked.

Ditch gas and oil for around-town trips with the RipRacer e-bike

Juiced Bikes is now offering its Yellow RipRacer Class 2 E-bike for $849 shipped with the code RIDE50 at checkout. Originally $1,299, and going for that much in other colorways currently, today’s deal comes in at $150 below our last mention from back in March. This discount is only available on the clearance yellow colorway though, so do keep that in mind when purchasing.

If you’re looking for a fun way to get around the city this spring and summer, then an e-bike is a solid choice for your travels. Juiced’s RipRacer Class 2 e-bike can reach top speeds of 20 MPH and delivers 35 miles of range per charge. With a built-in AirTag compartment, you can rest assured that even if the worst happens and someone steals your e-bike, it’ll be easily trackable. The fat tires also help with riding on sand, snow, dirt, or other softer surfaces with relative ease. All of this happens without gas or oil too, making it a great choice for those looking to reduce their reliance on fossil fuels for shorter trips. Be sure to check out our hands-on review of the RipRacer to learn more about what it has to offer.

Prep the yard with Greenworks trimmers and pressure washers from $39 (Up to 50% off)

Amazon has now launched a new Greenworks outdoor power tool sale to ready your lawn and yard for the warm weather without having to worry about gas or oil. There are several notable deals on the brand’s popular electric tools today but one standout is the Greenworks 24V 12-inch Cordless String Trimmer and Edger at $54.99 shipped. Regularly $110, it more regularly fetches around $90 on Amazon as of the last several months and is now at the best price we can find. Today’s deal marks the first time we have seen it back down at this price in the last year on Amazon. This model is great for getting at some of the areas of your lawn that are too tight for the traditional mower, not to mention helping to clean up the edges around garden areas, sidewalks, walkways, and more. It comes complete with the 24V battery you’ll need to run it and the charger you’ll need to juice it back up (it recharges in “60 minutes”) to deliver tether-free operation with a 12-inch cutting path, variable speed trigger to help “maneuver around plants and shrubs,” and a 90-degree rotating head with edging wheel.

Elsewhere in today’s Amazon Greenworks sale event, you’ll also find higher-end trimmers, pressure washers, leaf blowers, and those extendable pole saws to tidy up normally out of reach tree branches and the like. Pricing starts from $39 shipped and you’ll find everything waiting on this landing page

Rip around the track on Razor’s electric dirt bike

Amazon is offering the Razor MX650 Electric Dirt Bike for $449.99 shipped. This electric dirt bike has gone for $500 over the past month or so. Today’s deal actually comes in at the best price in well over a year, and delivers an additional $50 savings against the previous 12-month low. This compact electric dirt bike features a 650W motor that uses no gas or oil to function. The battery will last for up to 40 minutes of riding before it’s time to head back home and plug it in.

On Razor’s electric dirt bike, you’ll find a 16-inch wheel up front and a 14-inch wheel in the back, which gives an authentic dirt bike frame geometry. On top of that, you’ll be able to ride at up to 17 MPH, which is plenty of speed for ripping down trails and having a good time outside. There’s a 220 pound weight limit and you’ll need to charge the battery at least once a month, so do keep that in mind. But, if you’re looking for a fun way to get outside and enjoy the sunshine this spring and summer, Razor’s electric dirt bike is a great way to do just that.

Amazon places its largest-ever order for electric semi trucks

Amazon places its largest-ever order for electric semi trucks

Amazon is adding over 200 Mercedes-Benz eActros 600 electric semi trucks to its fleet later this year – its largest-ever order of electric heavy goods vehicles (eHGVs).

Amazon’s new electric semi trucks

These electric trucks will handle high-mileage routes across the UK and Germany, moving trailers between Amazon’s fulfillment centers, sorting centers, and delivery stations. 

The new eHGVs are expected to transport more than 350 million packages annually once fully operational.

Amazon is installing 360kW charging stations at key sites capable of powering the 40-tonne trucks from 20-80% in just over an hour. The company is also working with stakeholders to establish external charging locations to support longer routes.

The eActros 600 is Mercedes-Benz Trucks’ flagship electric long-hauler, with a battery capacity of more than 600 kWh and a range of 310 miles (500 km). Production of the eActros 600s recently began at Mercedes-Benz’s factory in Wörth, Germany.

Sustainable delivery across Europe

In the UK, Amazon has begun using the electric rail network for package transport at scale. It’s also rolling out on-foot delivery options in London, with associates using carts that can be restocked from nearby vans. In Germany, Amazon doubled its fleet of Rivian electric delivery vans to over 600, and electric cargo bikes delivered more than 1.5 million packages in Berlin alone last year.

By the end of 2024, Amazon plans to expand its micromobility hubs – locations supporting deliveries by foot and cargo bike – to Germany’s five largest cities and beyond. Across Europe, the company is investing more than €1 billion to further electrify and decarbonize its transportation network.

Amazon’s European network already includes 38 eHGVs, with 50 electric semis recently deployed in California. The company’s fleet of electric delivery vans in Europe has grown to over 3,000 and is expected to surpass 10,000 by the end of 2025. Micromobility hubs have also expanded from 20 cities in 2022 to more than 45 by the end of 2024, including new additions in Belfast, Madrid, Rome, and Vienna.

Electrek’s Take

Amazon says its latest electric semi truck order aligns with The Climate Pledge it announced in 2019, in which the company committed to achieving net zero across its operations by 2040. While The Climate Pledge initiative has garnered praise, it has also faced criticism and skepticism regarding its effectiveness and transparency.

In 2020, Amazon faced allegations of retaliating against employees who spoke out about the company’s environmental policies. The National Labor Relations Board found that Amazon had illegally fired workers who advocated for climate action and better safety measures.

Amazon is also donating $1 million to President-elect Donald Trump’s inaugural fund. Trump is a climate change denier who actively opposes renewables, and not just in the US. Earlier this month Trump demanded that the British government open up the North Sea to fossil fuel drilling and get rid of “windmills.”

Check out the new Genesis GV60 interior, it looks even more luxurious in blue [Video]

Check out the new Genesis GV60 interior, it looks even more luxurious in blue [Video]

If you thought the current GV60 looked pretty inside, wait until you see the updated model. Genesis unveiled the new GV60 earlier this month, its first major redesign since launching in 2021. Here’s our first look at the interior of the new Genesis GV60.

Genesis GV60 interior gets an upgrade in the new model

Genesis launched the GV60 in October 2021 as its first dedicated EV. Less than four years later, the luxury electric SUV is already getting a new look.

The luxury brand unveiled the new GV60 last week for the first time. One of the biggest updates is to the front end.

Although the GV60 is already a sporty-looking EV, the redesigned front bumper with a new 3-D shape takes it up another level. Then, add the signature Genesis Two Line headlamps with Micro Lens Array (MLA) tech, and the refreshed GV60 is a head turner.

The revamped model now features 21″ wheels with a new five-spoke design, complementing its wide, low stance.

Inside, the upgraded GV60 features its new 27″ connected car Integrated Cockpit (ccIC) infotainment system. The design “eliminates the bezel” between the driver display and infotainment screens.

The new Genesis GV60 interior also gains a redesigned three-spoke steering wheel for an even more sporty feel while you’re in the cockpit. Other popular features from the outgoing model, like the Crystal Sphere shift-by-wire system, are still included.

After revealing the updated model for the first time last week, we are already getting a look at the redesigned interior.

A new video from Korea’s HealerTV gives us our first look at the Genesis GV60 interior in a new blue color. Although the reporter initially thought it was a performance model, he noted it was just a new color option. Other added design elements, like the large quilting pattern on the side panels, give it that Bentley or Rolls-Royce feel.

Last week, HealerTV posted a video revealing the first look at the updated Genesis GV60 exterior design. You can see the redesigned front and rear bumpers add to the GV60’s already impressive look.

In the US, the 2025 Genesis GV60 starts at $52,350. A new AWD trim was introduced this year, starting at $55,850.

The current mode gets up to 294 miles driving range, but a bigger battery is expected to push that number closer to 300 miles in the 2025MY. It’s expected to feature the same 84 kWh battery as the updated 2025 IONIQ 5, which provides up to 318 miles range. That’s up from 303 miles in the previous model with a 77.4 kWh battery.
