While cordless electric pole saws aren’t all that new, EGO went in a new direction with its latest 10-inch model. Delivering 16 feet of reach with its carbon fiber pole, you’ll not only get a lifetime warranty on the pole itself, but also five years on the tool and three years on the battery. There’s now an LED cut line indicator on the back of the unit right behind the bar and chain to let you know exactly where it’s cutting even under a thick tree canopy. Add to that the fact that no gas or oil mixture is needed, and you have a solid yard tool to help keep your trees nice and trimmed. Right now, the pole saw is on sale for $299, which saves $100 from its normal going rate, marks the first price drop we’ve seen, and also is the all-time low too. 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.
EGO’s new 10-inch cordless electric pole saw now $100 off
Amazon is offering the EGO 10-Inch Telescopic LED Cut Line Indicator Pole Saw Kit on sale for $299 shipped. Down $100 from its normal $399 going rate, today’s deal clocks in at the first discount that we’ve tracked all-time on this specific bundle. While we’ve seen many pole saws on sale before, this one sets itself apart from the pack by offering an LED cut line indicator. This will let you see exactly where the chain will cut even in darker environments like under a shade tree canopy.
The telescoping carbon fiber shaft of EGO’s cordless electric pole saw goes out up to 16 feet and is even covered by a lifetime warranty. Pair that with the 10-inch bar with a 1/4-inch chain and you’ll have an easy way to trim trees outside your home. The aforementioned cut line indicator will ensure you know exactly where on the branch is being cut, too. Add to that the tool-free chain tensioning system, quick-adjust handle, and shoulder strap, and you have a solid pole saw for your needs. Then, when you consider the fact that there’s no gas or oil mixtures required thanks to the electric motor and 2.5Ah battery. Plus, EGO gives you a 5-year tool and 3-year battery warranty with the purchase to give you peace of mind for years to come.
WORX delivers a more capable electric mower with its Nitro 80V 21-inch model at $698
We’ve seen a lot of electric lawn mower discounts go live throughout the spring and even some off-season savings back over the winter. But if you’ve needed something a bit more capable to help tame your unruly lawn and those price cuts just didn’t do it for you, Amazon is stepping in to deliver a notable price cut on the WORX Nitro 80V 21-inch electric mower. Dropping from the usual $800 going rate for the first time since March, today’s offer lands at $698 shipped. Those $102 in savings deliver the first offer in months and the third-best price of the year. This WORX electric lawn mower is said to deliver gas-like power without all of the fossil fuel usage. It comes centered around the brand’s 80V ecosystem, powering the brushless motor with four of its 5Ah Pro batteries. There’s a 21-inch cutting deck to pair with a self-propelled form-factor backed by rear wheel drive, an adjustable height to pick from seven different positions, and dual mulching or bagging capabilities.
Charge your EV with Amazon Basics’ Level 2 power station
Amazon is currently offering its Amazon Basics Level 2 32A EV Charging Station for $291.63 shipped. Down from a normal rate of up to $612, it’s fell in price a few times this year down to $315 in February and then $365 this month. Outside of that, today’s deal actually comes in with at least 20% in savings and is actually up to 52% below its normal rate. This sale also marks a new all-time low that we’ve tracked. For further comparison, we did see the 18-foot model fall as low as $153.50 back in April. If you have an EV at home and are tired of using a standard 110V outlet to charge, this is a great way to remedy that.
As a level 2 charging station, you’ll find 240V 32A capacity here with an attached 25-foot cable to plug into your EV at home. Amazon Basics says that it’ll add around 25 miles of range per hour, which adds up to 200 miles of range if plugged in for eight hours overnight. This is up to six times faster than a standard wall outlet, and the hardwired station can be installed either indoors or outside, making it convenient to use whether you have a garage or not. It doesn’t need a plug or outlet either, as you just directly wire the system into your panel for it to get power. So, if you’re looking for a way to charge at home, then this is about as budget-friendly as it gets from a name brand with fast speeds.

A wheel loader operator fills a truck with ore at the MP Materials rare earth mine in Mountain Pass, California, January 30, 2020.
Steve Marcus | Reuters
The Defense Department will become the largest shareholder in rare earth miner MP Materials after agreeing to buy $400 million of its preferred stock, the company said Thursday.
MP Materials owns the only operational rare earth mine in the U.S. at Mountain Pass, California. The company said it will use the proceeds of the Pentagon’s investment to expand its rare earths processing capabilities and its magnet production capacity.
Shares of MP Materials jumped more than 40% premarket on the news.
The Pentagon is buying a newly created class of preferred shares that are convertible into MP Materials’ common stock. It is also buying a warrant that allows it to purchase additional common stock in the rare earth miner. The convertible shares and the warrant for common stock would represent about a 15% stake in MP Materials as of July 9.
Interior Secretary Doug Burgum said in April that the Trump administration was considering making direct equity investments in critical mineral companies to break U.S. dependence on China.

Aventon is giving its popular fat tire e-bike a serious upgrade. The company just unveiled the Aventure M, a new mid-drive version of its best-selling Aventure model. With more torque, smarter shifting, and a boost in connectivity and control, Aventon says this is the “most advanced” bike it has ever produced.
The new Aventure M swaps out the rear hub motor for a 100 Nm mid-drive motor, offering more efficient power delivery and a more natural ride feel thanks to its double-sided torque sensor. And in case that 100 Nm doesn’t exactly place it for you, just know that we’re talking about more power (or more accurately, torque) than nearly any other e-bike in this class.
The Aventon A100 motor, which is rated at 750W and runs on a 36V system, takes full advantage of its Class 3 category with pedal assist speeds up to 28 mph (45 km/h) and a throttle top speed of 20 mph (32 km/h). The throttle is sold separately, probably as a nod to being even more compliant with California’s new stricter laws regarding Class 1 and Class 3 e-bikes, which can’t have mounted throttles.
Aventon also gives riders the option to set the bike to Class 1 or 2 limits using the companion app. We’ve always been pretty impressed with Aventon’s app, as it’s quite easy to use and makes it simple to control those types of modifications to the bike.

That app pairs with Aventon’s newly developed ACU (Aventon Control Unit), a custom IoT system that adds a wide range of smart features. Riders get GPS tracking, theft detection, geofencing, remote locking, and over-the-air (OTA) firmware updates. Aventon even built in a passcode-locked on-switch for added security, as well as a physical rear-wheel lock and alarm.
We’ve previously seen Aventon use that OTA update system to give its e-bike more power via a boost feature, so the company doesn’t appear shy about pushing out new features when they’re ready.
But it’s not just about motor placement and connectivity. The Aventure M introduces electronic shifting, powered by a 10-speed Shimano CUES drivetrain and paddle shifters. Riders can shift manually or let the system take over with Auto Shift, Aventon’s torque and cadence-sensing automatic shifting mode. A new Uphill Start Assist feature gives riders an extra torque boost when starting from a stop on steep grades –perfect for off-road adventures or fully loaded cargo rides.
As for range, Aventon claims up to 85 miles (137 km) from the removable 36V 20Ah (720 Wh) battery, which itself weighs around 8.7 lbs (3.9 kg). That figure is in the lowest power level, and real-world range will depend heavily on terrain and assist level, but riders can likely expect something in the 40–60 mile (65-100 km) ballpark under typical pedaling usage when enjoying moderately higher power levels, and a bit less if leaning hard into that optional throttle.
Rounding out the build are 4-inch wide fat tires, a suspension seatpost, and an 80 mm front suspension fork. The total weight of the bike is around 73 lbs (33 kg), which is actually surprisingly reasonable for a full-featured fat tire e-bike with a mid-drive, believe it or not. Hey, these are heavy bikes when you stuff all that power, range, and tech in there.
The price at launch is US $2,899, which places the Aventure M above the hub motor version of the company’s existing Aventure model but below some other mid-drive fat tire options on the market. Aventon is clearly positioning this as a higher-performance alternative that’s still (hopefully) accessible to the average rider. It’s available now online and through Aventon’s network of over 1,800 partner dealers across the U.S.
Electrek’s Take
It’s about time we saw a major direct-to-consumer brand bring a smart tech, mid-drive fat tire e-bike to market that doesn’t require taking out a second mortgage. The Aventure M feels like a natural progression for Aventon – taking what made the Aventure 2 so popular and layering on meaningful performance and tech upgrades. The mid-drive motor brings real climbing power and smoother pedal assist, and features like auto shifting and built-in GPS tracking give this bike some serious smart credentials.
Of course, at nearly $3,000, this isn’t exactly budget territory anymore. But considering the Aventure M includes high-end components, a full-fat-tire adventure build, and an impressive level of integration, it still looks like a solid value for someone who wants their e-bike to go above and beyond the basic level of componentry and features. If the real-world range holds up and the automatic shifting works smoothly, this could easily become a category leader for anyone wanting an all-terrain e-bike that feels as refined as it is rugged. Aventon of course didn’t reinvent the wheel here — they just made a smarter, better one. I look forward to getting on one soon for a review and letting you know what I think of the ride.
