Plus, with up to 45 miles of range per charge, you’ll find that this e-bike is designed to get you to and from work without having to plug in mid-day. Right now, the Aventon Aventure is on sale for $1,399, which is a full $400 off its normal going rate, $100 below our last mention, and also a new all-time low that we’ve tracked. 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.

Aventon’s Aventure e-bike goes over 45 miles per charge

Aventon is offering its Aventure Step-Through E-bike for $1,399 shipped. Typically going for $1,799, today’s deal comes in at $100 below our last mention from earlier this month and delivers a new all-time low in the process. In fact, prior to the drop to $1,499 the best previous best price in months we had seen was $1,700 back in December. With tires that are four inches wide, the Aventure is perfect for riding on the beach, mountain trail, or just down the street. This is reinforced with its included front suspension that has 80mm of travel which makes it even easier to go off-roading with comfort.

With the Aventon Aventure e-bike, you’ll really be able to tackle just about anything you come across. It has a 750W motor which is how it’s able to traverse so much under its own power. As a class II e-bike stock, there’s actually the ability to configure it for class III speeds if you’re somewhere that’s allowed. This means it can reach speeds of up to 28 MPH and ride for over 45 miles on a single charge. With a range like that, you’ll be able to ride over 20 miles one-way to work and still make it up on a single charge. The Aventon app lets you store ride as well, which means you can share those rides with family or friends as you compete to see who can log the most miles outside this summer. Of course, you won’t need any gas or oil for this e-bike to function, helping reduce your carbon footprint in 2023 as well. Dive into our hands-on review to learn more about what the Aventon Aventure has to offer.

Anker’s latest PowerHouse 767 power station has never sold for less at $600 off, now $1,599

Ahead of all those summer camping trips and beach outings, Anker is now offering the best discount yet on its new PowerHouse 767. Not just Anker’s latest portable power station but also its most capable model to date, the new 2,048Wh release launched late last year with a $2,199 price tag. Dropping to $1,999 earlier in the year, today we’re seeing an added $400 in savings applied to land at a new all-time low of $1,599 shipped. This is $200 below our previous mention from a few months back and landing at its best price ever with $600 in overall savings. Living up to its status as Anker’s most full-featured power station so far, the new PowerHouse 767 arrives centered around a massive 2,048Wh internal battery. Backed by GaNPrime charging tech, this unit can also handle dishing out 2,400W of power from its 12 different charging options. There’s notably an RC port to go alongside four full AC outlets, three USB-C outputs, USB-A, and a pair of car outlets. We breakdown what to expect in our coverage from back in December, too.

As we detailed back in December, Anker’s power station also comes supplemented with some add-on gear to help extend its battery life or just refuel away from home. Leaning into the off-grid nature, the dual 200W solar panel bundle kicks things off and is on sale for $2,499. This is down from its usual $3,099 going rate in order to deliver a new all-time low. Then for some extended runtime, the Anker PowerHouse 767 also comes packaged with one of the 760 Expansion Batteries for $2,599. This set would normally run you $3,299 and is also at an all-time low of $700 off. Just don’t forget to clip the on-page coupon for either of these offerings to lock-in the extra $400 in savings.

Segway’s eMoped C80 makes it easy to travel without gas

Segway is currently offering its eMoped C80 on sale for $1,699.99 shipped. Down from a $2,500 listing price at Best Buy right now, our last mention was $1,900 over a year ago and today’s deal is the first major discount that we’ve seen since then. In fact, this discount also happens to mark a new all-time low that we’ve tracked here. If you’re tired of filling the car up with gas every week just to drive a few miles to and from work, then it’s time to overhaul your weekly transportation routine.

While electric cars typically require a lot of power to charge, and normal ICE vehicles use gas and oil, using an eMoped like this can help reduce your carbon footprint. Since it uses just a normal 110V plug to charge, this would be fairly easy to power through solar for a true off-grid and green experience. While you might typically think about riding to work on an e-bike, this eMoped takes thing sup a notch for your travels. It has an auto lock feature and uses NFC to unlock when it’s time to ride again. With built-in front LED headlights, as well as a dual braking system, this ride-on will be easy to use day or night. You’ll find a top speed of 20 MPH here as well as a range of up to 53 miles, meaning you can make it over 25 miles to work and back without having to plug in mid-day. So, if you’ve been looking for a fossil fuel-free mode of transportation for this summer, then Segway’s eMoped C80 is a solid choice all around.

Imported Tesla Cybertruck is seized by police in the UK, deemed dangerous and not legal

Imported Tesla Cybertruck is seized by police in the UK, deemed dangerous and not legal

Police have seized an imported Tesla Cybertruck in the UK as it is not road-legal in the country and deemed dangerous for pedestrians.

Tesla has always known that its Cybertruck design would be complicated to get homologated in other markets than North America, where the rules are similar between the US, Canada, and Mexico. The company admitted that it might limit the markets where Cybertruck would be sold, which is why Tesla doesn’t plan to expand beyond current markets.

However, it hasn’t stopped people from privately importing Cybertrucks to their home markets.

We have seen two Cybertrucks traveling through Europe, and they were stopped at Lithuanian customs due to suspicions that they were going to Russia.

Sure enough, Russian warlord and Chechen ruler Ramzan Kadyrov took delivery of Cybertrucks and outfitted them with machine guns a few months later and then claimed that they joined the war effort in Ukraine.

Other Cybertrucks made their way to other markets like China.

Now, we learn that one has made it to the UK, but it didn’t last long.

The Greater Manchester Police (GMP) announced that the seized the Cybertruck pictured above that was roaming the streets in the UK illegally. They wrote on social media:

Whilst this may seem trivial to some, legitimate concerns exist around the safety of other road users or pedestrians if they were involved in a collision with the Cybertruck.

Tesla had brought the vehicle in the UK, but only for demonstration. It never tried to make it legal in the country.

The police added:

The Tesla Cybertruck is not road-legal in the UK and does not hold a certificate of conformity.

The authorities said that the Cybertruck was registered and insured abroad, but the driver was a UK resident. They will have to show prove of ownership and insurance to release the vehicle.

Electrek’s Take

The authorities are clearly right here since the vehicle is not road-legal currently, but could it be road-legal? It’s hard to say.

The police here repeat claims that the Cybertruck might be dangerous for pedestrians in crashes. That has been a concern that has often been raised since the truck launched in 2023.

It looks obvious based on the design of the Cybertruck. However, we haven’t seen third-party crash testing of the Cybertruck yet, and it might take a while before we do.

Charge Cars finds new owners to resume development of its ’67 bespoke electric muscle car

Charge Cars finds new owners to resume development of its '67 bespoke electric muscle car

UK EV startup Charge Cars has announced a fresh breath of life into its bespoke electric muscle car business. The company has announced new ownership, which intends to continue and expedite the development of its flagship model, the ’67, based on a classic Ford Mustang.

Charge Cars emerged as a startup in 2016 and is headquartered a few minutes outside London. The company’s initial goal has been to develop and deliver its flagship product, the ’67 EV, as seen below. The ’67 is based on the 1967 Ford Mustang Fastback and required a license from the American automaker to use its body components.

The company previously shared plans to build only 499 examples of this electric muscle car, but almost a decade later, potential customers are still waiting.

While we have been following Charge Cars for some time, there’s a reason we haven’t covered the company. Its flagship BEV is cool as hell but has always given us the feeling that it runs on pure vapor. Most startups can build a prototype, but as we always say, scaling is hard.

There’s no better evidence of this struggle than the news that came out of Charge Cars HQ in May 2024, stating that it had entered administration in the UK and a licensed insolvency practitioner, in this case, Mark Smith and Stephen Cork of Cork Gully LLP, were appointed as administrators to handle the business, its affairs, and intellectual property.

The options were to sell off pieces of the business or try to salvage it with fresh investors interested in taking over. Lucky for Charge Cars, a group of private investors has come to the rescue and will try to pick up where the original owners left off in developing and delivering a bespoke electric muscle car.

Charge hopes to live on and deliver its electric muscle car

According to a press release published from the UK early this morning, a consortium of private investors has acquired Charge Cars. It plans to expedite the final development of the ’67 electric muscle car at a new state-of-the-art global headquarters based in Silverstone, UK. Paul Abercrombie, who took over as Charge CEO last November, spoke about the new ownership and the opportunities it will bring the British EV startup:

On behalf of the consortium, I am delighted to announce the acquisition of Charge Cars. The ‘67 establishes a new class of EV – and we will now accelerate final development at our new global HQ in Silverstone, UK, rapidly delivering this exciting luxury vehicle to customers. The Charge brand has huge global potential, and we look forward to revealing more details very soon.

While we now know the future of Charge Cars’ electric muscle car is in the hands of this consortium at a new headquarters, the rest of its plans remain private for now. We do not know if the new owners will stick to the original production targets of 499 builds or go smaller or larger.

From what we can tell, the specs of the ’67 will remain the same as the reborn startup works through its final development stage, as outlined above. The electric muscle car based on a classic Ford has a 63 kWh battery that delivers 200 miles of range and powers quad motors that can reach 400 kW of peak power (1,520 Nm of torque). The BEV can travel 0-60 mph in 3.9 seconds and recharge at a DC rate of up to 50 kW.

Charge Cars promises to reveal future plans “imminently.” Check back with Electrek soon.
