Hover-1 Night Owl electric scooter delivers 31 MPH top speeds
If you’ve been looking for a higher-end electric scooter but don’t want to pay a higher price tag, we have just the deal for you today. Amazon is now offering the Hover-1 Night Owl Electric Folding Scooter for $924.84 shipped. Typically fetching $1,800 these days, that MSRP is now fading into the best discount we have ever seen. It’s clocking in at $875 in savings while also beating our previous mention by an extra $427. Today’s offer is also the first time we’ve seen it drop under $1,000, too.
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.
Save on this Greenworks electric mower bundle
Today we’re tracking a notable discount on the ultimate electric tool bundle to get your lawn in order this summer. If you’ve been dealing with the fuss of gas and oil the past few months and are finally ready to make the switch over to the more energy-efficient and convenient side of electric gear, Greenworks has your back. Courtesy of Amazon, you can score the brand’s 20-inch Cordless 48V Mower alongside a string trimmer and leaf blower for $503.99 shipped. Down from $630, this bundle clocks in with a 20% discount attached. It’s the best value we’ve tracked this year, as well.
This whole kit features the 20-inch electric mower with built-in bagger for mulching or collecting your grass trimmings. The kit also includes one of its string trimmers and a leaf blower, ensuring you can keep your yard looking its best with perfectly-cut edging around your patio and driveway, as well as a quick and effective way to handle the leaves come fall. Greenworks wraps up the package by including three 24V batteries, all of which can be swapped between the tools and pair with companion chargers.
Segway SuperScooter GT EVs fall to all-time lows
Landing at the best prices to date, Segway is now delivering a series of discounts on its flagship SuperScooter GT electric scooters. These are some of the more recent additions to the brand’s EV stable and also some of the more capable releases, too, with the spotlight falling on the SuperScooter GT1 Electric Scooter at $1,999.99. This is a full $800 off the usual $2,800 going rate while also delivering a new all-time low at $500 under our previous Prime Day mention.
Segway’s new SuperScooter GT1 arrives centered around a 1,008Wh battery that powers the 3000W rear-wheel drive motor. Capable of accelerating to 30 MPH in under 8 seconds, you’re looking at a more commuter-ready 37.3 MPH top speed to pair with its 43.5-mile range. Everything is then packed into an aircraft-grade aluminum frame with front and rear suspension, hydraulic disc brakes, and 11-inch tubeless tires.
Packed into a similar design as the lead deal, the SuperScooter GT2 steps up to an even more capable feature set with an even steeper discount attached. Segway is delivering an even faster electric ride thanks to a 43.5 MPH top speed powered by a 6000W 2-wheel drive motor that enables a 0 to 30 MPH acceleration in just under 4 seconds. That pairs with a 55.9-mile range, integrated transparent OLED display in-between the handlebars, and 1,512Wh battery. This model of course then steps up in price, and arrives with a more fitting $2,999.99 price tag to match all of the high-end functionality. This is delivering a match of the all-time low for one of the first times at $1,000 off the usual $4,000 going rate.

With its tire-blistering acceleration and record-setting performance, the Xiaomi SU7 Ultra has been getting attention throughout the auto industry, impressing everyone who’s seen it. That “everyone” now seems to include the OG supercar brand, itself.
CarNewsChina posted pictures from a Weibo user that reportedly show a Xiaomi SU7 Ultra exiting the storied Ferrari factory in Maranello, Italy. According to a Chinese blogger going by 西米露在博洛尼亚 (which seems to translate to “Sago Dessert in Bologna”), the prancing horse brand is actively benchmarking the Chinese hypercar for its own upcoming EV.
The SU7 Ultra was definitely coming from inside Ferrari’s facility. After verification, we learned this specific vehicle was officially purchased by Ferrari for testing, and the development of their next-generation electric platform.
Yet another Chinese auto blogger, 苏黎世贝勒爷, claims that Ferrari representatives visited Xiaomi headquarters last year, allegedly to discuss the joint development of next-generation high-performance EV motors.
The Xiaomi SU7 Ultra made its debut last year, promising 1,548 hp, sub 2.0-second 0-60 mph times, and a top speed well over 200 mph – all at a price lower than a Tesla Model S Plaid or Porsche Taycan Turbo GT. The car sold out almost immediately after it was unveiled, racking up some 50,000 orders almost overnight.
The new electric benchmark
In the automotive world, “benchmarking” is a process in which car companies systematically tear down each others’ competitive products to compare everything from sound insulation, vehicle ride and handling, component materials, and even manufacturing methods against their own or against other industry leaders. The goal is to evaluate performance, cost, quality, and other key metrics, effectively figuring out “where they stand” in the market.
If Ferrari really did buy an SU7 to benchmark it against their own upcoming electric supercar, it’s more than just a curiosity – it could mean that the highest tiers of automotive innovation have shifted from West to East. Maybe forever.

We’re finally getting our first teases of the upgraded 2027 Chevy Bolt, built on GM’s battery/motor platform formerly known as Ultium. So far, so good for the vehicle, which will be revealed later this Fall.
Chevy took to social media today to tease the 2027 Chevy Bolt, saying, “You asked, we listened. The #ChevyBolt is back and better than ever. More this fall. 👀”
Chevy ended the original Bolt program with the 2023 model, which was loved by a loyal group of customers (including myself). Some of the major gripes, including charging speed and rear brake lights, already look to be addressed. Also, a new more aggressive fascia is debuting.
Electrek’s take
GM has done an incredible job keeping the 2027 Bolt under wraps. It will be the first GM vehicle with a native NACS port after the Cadillac Optiq-V, which we spied in Seattle last week.
Hopefully, the new Bolt will have improved charging speeds over and above the 54kW that previous Bolts adhered to. One possible downgrade is that the old Bolt’s amazing wireless CarPlay/Android Auto system will likely be replaced by GM’s move to Android’s built-in experience. For a few years, the Chevy Bolt was the most affordable long-range EV, and it won our 2022 Electrek car of the year for its versatility and price.
I would, of course, like to see the new Bolt as a hot hatchback, but GM CEO Mary Barra has hinted that it will likely take more of the EUV’s SUV form factor. Things like AWD options, SuperCruise, pricing, power and range are yet to be revealed, but stay tuned to Electrek for the latest on Bolt developments.
