Earlier this year we saw a teaser from Greenworks that showed off a few transportation vehicles that could be powered by the company’s power tool batteries. Now we’re getting our first look at several of those new models from the electric power tool maker, including diverse options like go-karts, bikes, and even a UTV.
Greenworks is better known for its tool line that spans everything from building tools to lawnmowers, hedge trimmers, and more.
Many of those tools use the company’s powerful 60V and 80V batteries, which could also work well for electric micromobility vehicles like e-bikes, scooters, and more.
That appears to be just what Greenworks has in mind based on its latest unveiling.
The wide range of vehicles includes a go-kart, minibike, three e-bikes, an e-scooter, and an electric UTV.
As president of Greenworks North America explained, the new line is designed to offer transportation options for the entire family:
“Our e-transportation product line is an exciting evolution for Greenworks. We’ve taken our best-in-class battery technology and created a line of sustainable adventure products the whole family can enjoy together. We want to encourage consumers to go green, get active, and feel good doing it.”
The Greenworks 60-Volt Two-Seat Electric Stealth Series Go-Kart is described as an eco-friendly mode of transport ideal for neighborhoods, forests, trails, and gravel roads.
It features a pair of brushless rear hub motors totaling 3,000 watts that help it hit speeds of 25 mph (40 km/h) in sport mode or 15 mph (25 km/h) in eco mode. Its twin 60V 8.0Ah batteries allow for a 20-mile (32 km) range on a charge, and it comes with a speedy dual-port charger.
The go-kart includes a steel frame and cushioned roll cage bars designed for both safety and longevity. The kart also includes both front and rear braking, Bluetooth speakers for entertainment, and front and rear LED lights for visibility. The two-seater can support up to 275 pounds (125 kg). It’s unclear how tall (or short) you have to be to ride, but the promo photos appear to show children. You better believe I’m going to try to squeeze my 5’7″ (170 cm) frame into it though.
The Greenworks 60-Volt 19″ Electric Stealth Series Minibike is claimed to offer 40% more power and speed than its gasoline counterparts, plus comes with the hassle of noise, heat, and maintenance.
The company says it is perfect for riding through diverse terrains like gravel, mud, and grass. The electric minibike starts effortlessly with a push button and uses a rear hub motor to achieve speeds up to 25 mph (40 km/h) in sport mode and 20 mph (32 km/h) in eco mode.
There’s no height indication on this one either, but at least the photos show an adult woman riding it with apparent ease.
Equipped with two 60V 8.0Ah batteries, it promises a 20-mile (32 km) range and recharges within 90 minutes. The minibike should be fairly comfortable thanks to front and rear suspension as well as its 19″ fat tires. For stoppers, the minibike comes with hydraulic disc brakes.
The bike has an IPX4 weather-resistant rating and steel frame designed for longevity. It features integrated Bluetooth speakers for entertainment and sports a multi-mode headlight, rear tail light, and side reflectors. The 220-pound (100 kg) capacity bike has just debuted at both Tractor Supply and directly from Greenworks for US $1,499.
An upgraded 80-volt version is slated for release in early 2024.
The Greenworks 80-Volt 20″ Fat Tire Utility Electric Bike claims to effortlessly transition between roads and trails thanks to its full-suspension system and 20″ x 4″ fat tires. The bike is built on an aluminum frame and features a brushless rear hub motor that can reach speeds of 20 mph (32 km/h). The drivetrain includes a 7-speed shifter and three pedal-assist modes.
With the provided 80-volt 4.0Ah battery, the Class 2 e-bike has a 20-mile (32 km/h) range or 50-minute run time (presumably whichever comes first), and is said to recharge in just 40 minutes – which seems suspiciously fast.
It’s equipped with an LED headlight, LED taillight, and side reflectors for visibility. The bike is designed to support riders weighing up to 300 pounds (135 kg), and is set for release in early 2024.
Greenworks also unveiled two other e-bikes, including a fat tire adventure-style electric bike and a commuter style e-bike. Both feature only front suspension but otherwise have fairly similar specs to the full suspension fat tire utility e-bike. Those two models will also become available in 2024.
A new electric scooter was also unveiled, featuring a small 350W hub motor and a pair of 24V 4.0 Ah batteries.
The scooter can hit a top speed of 18 mph (30 km/h) and offers a maximum range of 14 miles (22 km) per charge of the two batteries. When they’re depleted, the batteries can be recharged in two hours.
The folding scooter supports riders up to 265 pounds (120 kg) and will become available in 2024.
Perhaps the most impressive of all the new vehicles unveiled by Greenworks is the new 60-Volt Electric Utility Task Vehicle (UTV).
The UTV is said to be designed to travel up to 20 miles (32 km) per charge of its six 60V 8.0Ah batteries. That’s a total of 2.88 kWh of stored energy across the six tool batteries.
The two-seater UTV reaches speeds of 15 mph (25 km/h) and boasts a carrying capacity of 550 pounds (250 kg) in its electric dump bed, with an additional towing capacity of 500 pounds (226 kg).
Its large turf tires and 8.5-inch ground clearance are said to ensure smooth navigation across rugged landscapes. For safety, it features a rollover protection mechanism. And of course it comes complete with a pair of cup holders.
The UTV is set to hit the market in – you guessed it – early 2024. We don’t have a price yet, but we do know that Greenworks will offer a tool-only package, meaning you can save some serious dough if you already happen to have six 60V 8.0Ah Greenworks batteries laying around from your other tools (or your other e-bikes).
Electrek’s Take
This is awesome news. I was already excited about EGO’s electric minibike that runs off of power tool batteries, but Greenworks has blown them out of the water with a similar minibike that is already ready to ship, plus a pile of other electric vehicles in various stages of readiness for market.
I definitely need to get on, in, or behind each of these for serious playing reviewing.

First Solar just cut the ribbon on a huge new factory in Iberia Parish, Louisiana, and it dwarfs the New Orleans Superdome. The company’s $1.1 billion, fully vertically integrated facility spans 2.4 million square feet, or about 11 times the size of the stadium’s main arena.
The factory began production quietly in July, a few months ahead of schedule, and employs more than 700 people. First Solar expects that number to hit 826 by the end of the year. Once it’s fully online, the site will add 3.5 GW of annual manufacturing capacity. That brings the company’s total US footprint to 14 GW in 2026 and 17.7 GW in 2027, when its newly announced South Carolina plant is anticipated to come online.
The Louisiana plant produces First Solar’s Series 7 modules using US-made materials — glass from Illinois and Ohio, and steel from Mississippi, which is fabricated into backrails in Louisiana.
The new factory leans heavily on AI, from computer vision that spots defects on the line to deep learning tools that help technicians make real‑time adjustments.

Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry says the investment is already a win for the region, bringing in “hundreds of good-paying jobs and new opportunities for Louisiana workers and businesses.” A new economic impact analysis from the University of Louisiana at Lafayette projects that the factory will boost Iberia Parish’s GDP by 4.4% in its first full year at capacity. The average manufacturing compensation package comes in at around $90,000, more than triple the parish’s per capita income.
First Solar CEO Mark Widmar framed the new facility as a major step for US clean energy manufacturing: “By competitively producing energy technology in America with American materials, while creating American jobs, we’re demonstrating that US reindustrialization isn’t just a thesis, it’s an operating reality.”
This site joins what’s already the largest solar manufacturing and R&D footprint in the Western Hemisphere: three factories in Ohio, one in Alabama, and R&D centers in Ohio and California. Just last week, First Solar announced a new production line in Gaffney, South Carolina, to onshore more Series 6 module work. By the end of 2026, the company expects to directly employ more than 5,500 people across the US.

No, it’s not the new Bolt. GM’s design team previewed a new high-riding “sporty Chevrolet EV” that should be brought to life.
Is Chevy launching a new sporty EV?
This is the all-electric vehicle Chevy should sell in the US. General Motors’ design team released a series of sketches previewing a sporty new Chevy EV.
Although it kinda looks like the new 2027 Chevy Bolt EV as a higher-sitting compact crossover SUV, the design offers a fresh take on what it should have looked like.
The new Bolt is essentially a modernized version of the outgoing EUV model with a similar compact crossover silhouette. Nissan adopted a similar style with the new 2026 LEAF as buyers continue shifting from smaller sedans and hatchbacks to crossovers and SUVs.

Will we see the sporty Chevy EV in real life? It’s not likely. For one, the “exploration sketch” is by GM China Advanced designer Charles Huang.
GM Design posted the sketches on its global social media page, but the caption read “Sporty Chevrolet EV for the China Market.”
It’s too bad. The Bolt could use a sporty sibling like an SS variant. Chevy introduced the Blazer EV SS (check out our review) for the 2026 model year, its fastest “SS” model yet. Packing up to 615 horsepower and 650 lb-ft of torque, the Chevy Blazer SS can race from 0 to 60 mph in 3.4 seconds when using Wide Open Watts (WOW) mode.
Will the Bolt be next? I wouldn’t get my hopes up. And if GM does bring the sporty Chevy EV to life, it will likely only be sold in China. Like all the fun cars these days.

What do you think of the design? Would you buy one of these in the US? Let us know your thoughts in the comments.
While deliveries of the 2027 Bolt are set to begin in early 2026, Chevy is offering some sweet deals on its current EV lineup, including up to $4,000 off in Customer Cash and 0% APR financing for 60 months.
