Swagtron’s EB-11 e-bike is made for cruising at $300 off
Adorama is offering the Swagtron Swagcycle EB-11 Beach E-bike on sale for $699.99 shipped. Down from a $1,000 list price, and $989 going rate at Amazon, today’s deal comes in at one of the best discounts that we’ve tracked all-time. Though, it has fell as low as $600 back in October of last year. Perfect for hitting the beach or cruising the street, this e-bike has a lot of functions. With tires over two inches wide, this e-bike will easily handle riding on softer surfaces like sand or dirt with ease. On top of that, the Shimano 7-speed gear system will help when you want to do a bit more of the heavy lifting, though the 250W electric motor can kick in when you need a bit of help. The removable battery can power the e-bike for up to 28 miles per charge and even allows the EB-11 to ride at up to 15.3 MPH. Take a closer look at what the Swagtron EB-11 has to offer in our announcement coverage.
Hover-1’s motorcycle-style Altai Pro 500W e-bike sees very first discount at $414 off
Amazon is now offering the first discount on Hover-1’s new Pro Altai R500 Electric Motorbike. Dropping all three styles down to $1,885.99 shipped, you’d more regularly pay $2,300. Today’s offer amounts to $414 in savings while also landing at the best discount we’ve seen. This model just launched earlier this year and is now seeing its first price cut across the board. Hover-1 Altai Pro may arrive as an e-bike, but its design screams more motorcycle with a rugged frame that houses the 500W electric motors. It can travel 60 miles on a single charge and at top speeds of up to 28 MPH, all of which is thanks to the 48V/20Ah lithium-ion battery that refuels over night in 8 hours. Circling back to that unique frame design, there are two saddle bags, as well as storage racks, and not to mention the pair of 20-inch fat tires that help you handle uneven terrain. Hover-1 lastly outfits the Altai Pro with a headlight, taillights, turn signals, and side mirrors.
On a more affordable side of the e-bike market, Hover-1 also has its Instinct model that clocks in with a $799 price tag. This one trades in the more rugged motorcycle aesthetic of the lead deal for a traditional e-bike build that can still handle traversing 40 miles on a single charge. It just clocks in with a 15 MPH top speed thanks to the 350W motor and 26-inch tires. Still, at far less cash than the lead deal, this is a much more affordable option for getting an EV in your garage ahead of spring that also clocks in at $200 off and a new all-time low.
Get ready for off-grid power with this 60W solar panel
The official Rockpals Amazon storefront is offering its 60W Foldable Portable Solar Panel for $79.99 shipped once you clip the on-page coupon. Down from a $150 normal going rate, our last mention was $100 earlier this month and today’s deal comes in at 20% below that. It also marks the third-best price all-time for this solar panel. Whether you’re looking to hit the trail this spring or just want to be able to power up without a normal wall plug, this is a solid choice all around.
While there’s the normal bevy of DC outputs here, which allow you to plug the solar panel into portable batteries for off-grid power, there’s also built-in USB ports making it even easier to use. There’s a 3.3A USB-A plug which is perfect for powering things like Apple Watch, your older smartphone, or other lower-power things. Then, there’s an 18W USB-C output which is enough juice to deliver fast charging to your iPhone, and also power some iPads. In fact, it’s also enough juice to top off most portable USB batteries if you need to recharge some of those on-the-go. Regardless of which way you use the USB ports, there’s no adapter needed to leverage them which makes it even easier to use. Plus, all of this happens with nothing more than the sun’s rays making it a green way to stay charged on-the-go.

Climate XChange’s Annual EV Raffle is back for the 10th year running – and for the first time ever, Climate XChange has two raffle options on the table! The nonprofit has helped lucky winners custom-order their ideal EVs for the past decade. Now you have the chance to kick off your holiday season with a brand new EV for as little as $100.
About half of the raffle tickets have been sold so far for each of the raffles – you can see the live ticket count on Climate XChange’s homepage – so your odds of winning are better than ever.
But don’t wait – raffle ticket sales end on December 8!
Climate XChange is working hard to help states transition to a zero-emissions economy. Every ticket you buy supports this mission while giving you a chance to drive home your dream EV.
Here’s how Climate XChange’s 10th Annual Raffle works:
The Luxury Raffle
- Grand Prize: The winner can choose any EV on the market, fully customized up to $120,000. This year, you can split the prize between two EVs if the total is $120,000 or less.
- Taxes covered: This raffle comes with no strings – Climate XChange also pays all of the taxes.
- Runner-up prizes: Even if you don’t win the Grand Prize, you still have a chance at the 2nd prize of $12,500 and the 3rd prize of $7,500.
- Ticket price: $250.
- Grand Prize Drawing: December 12, 2025.
- Only 5,000 tickets will be sold for the Luxury Raffle.
The Mini Raffle (New for 2025)
- Grand Prize: Choose any EV on the market, fully customized, up to $45,000. This is the perfect raffle if you’re ready to make the switch to an EV but aren’t in the market for a luxury model.
- Taxes covered: Climate XChange pays all the taxes on the Mini Raffle, too.
- Ticket price: $100.
- Only 3,500 tickets will be sold for the Mini Raffle.
Why it’s worth entering
For a decade, Climate XChange has run a raffle that’s fair, transparent, and exciting. Every ticket stub is printed, and the entire drawing is live-streamed, including the loading of the raffle drum. Independent auditors also oversee the process.
Plus, your odds on the Luxury and Mini Raffles are far better than most car raffles, and they’re even better if you enter both.
Remember that only 5,000 tickets will be sold for the Luxury Raffle and only 3,500 for the Mini Raffle, and around half of the available tickets have been sold so far, so don’t miss your shot at your dream EV!
Climate XChange personally works with the winners to help them build and order their dream EVs. The winner of the Ninth Annual EV Raffle built a gorgeous storm blue Rivian R1T.
How to enter
Go to CarbonRaffle.org/Electrek before December 8 to buy your ticket. Start dreaming up your perfect EV – and know that no matter what, you’re helping accelerate the shift to clean energy.

The CSC Monterey – one of the most charming little electric scooters on the US market – has dropped to a shockingly low $1,699, down from its original $2,899 MSRP. That’s nearly half off for a full-size, street-legal electric scooter that channels major Honda Super Cub energy, but without the gas, noise, or maintenance of the original.
CSC Motorcycles, based in Azusa, California, has a long history of importing and supporting small-format electric and gas bikes, but the Monterey has always stood out as the brand’s “fun vibes first” model. With its step-through frame, big retro headlight, slim bodywork, and upright seating position, it looks like something from a 1960s postcard – just brought into the modern era with lithium batteries and a brushless hub motor.
I had my first experience on one of these scooters back in 2021, when I reviewed the then-new model here on Electrek. I instantly fell in love with it and even got one for my dad. It now lives at his place and I think he gets just as much joy from looking at it in his garage as riding it.
You can see my review video below.
The performance is solidly moped-class, which is exactly what it’s designed for. A 2,400W rear hub motor pushes the Monterey up to a claimed 30 mph or 48 km/h (I found it really topped out at closer to 32 mph or 51 km/h), making it perfect for city streets, beach towns, and lower-speed suburban routes.
A 60V, roughly 1.6 kWh removable battery offers around 30–40 miles (48-64 km) of real-world range, depending on how aggressively you twist the throttle. It’s commuter-ready, grocery-run-ready, and campus-ready right out of the crate.
It’s also remarkably approachable. At around 181 pounds (82 kg), the Monterey is light for a sit-down scooter, making it easy to maneuver and park. There’s a small storage cubby, LED lighting, and the usual simple twist-and-go operation. And it comes with full support from CSC, a company that keeps a massive warehouse stocked with components and spare parts.
My sister has a CSC SG250 (I’m still trying to convert her to electric) and has gotten great support from them in the past, including from their mechanics walking her through carburetor questions over the phone. So I know from personal experience that CSC is a great company that stands behind its bikes.
But the real story here is the price. Scooters in this class typically hover between $2,500 and $4,500, and electric retro-style models often jump well above that.
At $1,699, the Monterey is one of the least expensive street-legal electric scooters available from a reputable US distributor, especially one that actually stocks parts and provides phone support.
If you’ve been curious about swapping a few car errands for something electric – or you just want a fun, vintage-styled runabout for getting around town – this is one of the best deals of the year.
