Greenworks unveils new e-bikes, go-karts, and e-UTV that run on power tool batteries
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 kart is priced at US $1,999 and is already available on Tractor Supply’s website or directly from Greeworks’ own site. An 80-volt variant will launch in early 2024.
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.

Forget fumbling with cables or hunting for batteries – TILER is making electric bike charging as seamless as parking your ride. The Dutch startup recently introduced its much-anticipated TILER Compact system, a plug-and-play wireless charger engineered to transform the user experience for e-bike riders.
At the heart of the new system is a clever combo: a charging kickstand that mounts directly to almost any e‑bike, and a thin charging mat that you simply park over. Once you drop the kickstand and it lands on the mat, the bike begins charging automatically via inductive transfer – no cable required. According to TILER, a 500 Wh battery will fully charge in about 3.5 hours, delivering comparable performance to traditional wired chargers.
It’s an elegantly simple concept (albeit a bit chunky) with a convenient upside: less clutter, fewer broken cables, and no more need to bend over while feeling around for a dark little hole.
TILER claims its system works with about 75% of existing e‑bike platforms, including those from Bosch, Yamaha, Bafang, and other big bames. The kit uses a modest 150 W wireless power output, which means charging speeds remain practical while keeping the system lightweight (the tile weighs just 2 kg, and it’s also stationary).
TILER has already deployed over 200 charging points across Western Europe, primarily serving bike-share, delivery, hospitality, and hotel fleets. A recent case study in Munich showed how a cargo-bike operator saved approximately €1,250 per month in labor costs, avoided thousands in spare batteries, and cut battery damage by 20%. The takeaway? Less maintenance, more uptime.
Now shifting to prosumer markets, TILER says the Compact system will hit pre-orders soon, with a €250 price tag (roughly US $290) for the kickstand plus tile bundle. To get in line, a €29 refundable deposit is currently required, though they say it is refundable at any point until you receive your charger. Don’t get too excited just yet though, there’s a bit of a wait. Deliveries are expected in summer 2026, and for now are covering mostly European markets.
The concept isn’t entirely new. We’ve seen the idea pop up before, including in a patent from BMW for charging electric motorcycles. And the efficacy is there. Skeptics may wonder if wireless charging is slower or less efficient, but TILER says no. Its system retains over 85% efficiency, nearly matching wired charging speeds, and even pauses at 80% to protect battery health, then resumes as needed. The tile is even IP67-rated, safe for outdoor use, and about as bulky as a thick magazine.
Electrek’s Take
I love the concept. It makes perfect sense for shared e-bikes, especially since they’re often returning to a dock anyway. As long as people can be trained to park with the kickstand on the tile, it seems like a no-brainer.
And to be honest, I even like the idea for consumers. I know it sounds like a first-world problem, but bending over to plug something in at floor height is pretty annoying, not to mention a great way to throw out your back if you’re not exactly a spring chicken anymore. Having your e-bike start charging simply by parking it in the right place is a really cool feature! I don’t know if it’s $300 cool, but it’s pretty cool!

Tesla has launched a new software update for its vehicles that includes the anticipated integration of Grok, but it doesnt even interface with the car yet.
Earlier this week, CEO Elon Musk said that Tesla would integrate Grok, the large language model developed by his private company, xAI, into its vehicles.
Today, Tesla started pushing the update to the fleet, but there’s a significant caveat.
The automaker wrote in the release notes (2025.26):
Grok (Beta) (US, AMD)
Grok now available directly in your Tesla
Requires Premium Connectivity or a WiFi connection
Grok is currently in Beta & does not issue commands to your car – existing voice commands remain unchanged.
First off, it is only available in vehicles in the US equipped with the AMD infotainment computer, which means cars produced since mid-2021.
But more importantly, Tesla says that it doesn’t send commands to the car under the current version. Therefore, it is simply like having Grok on your phone, but on the onboard computer instead.
Tesla showed an example:
There are a few other features in the 2025.26 software update, but they are not major.
For Tesla vehicles equipped with ambient lighting strips inside the car, the light strip can now sync to music:
Accent lights now respond to music & you can also choose to match the lights to the album’s color for a more immersive effect
Toybox > Light Sync
Here’s the new setting:
The audio setting can now be saved under multiple presets to match listening preferences for different people or circumstances:
The software update also includes the capacity to zoom or adjust the playback speed of the Dashcam Viewer.
Cybertruck also gets the updated Dashcam Viewer app with a grid view for easier access and review of recordings:
Tesla also updated the charging info in its navigation system to be able to search which locations require valet service or pay-to-park access.
Upon arrival, drivers will receive a notification with access codes, parking restrictions, level or floor information, and restroom availability:
Finally, there’s a new onboarding guide directly on the center display to help people who are experiencing a Tesla vehicle for the first time.
Electrek’s Take
Tesla is really playing catch-up here. Right now, this update is essentially nothing. If you already have Grok, it’s no more different than having it on your phone or through the vehicle’s browser, since it has no capacity to interact with any function inside the vehicle.
Most other automakers are integrating LLMs inside vehicles with the capacity to interact with the vehicle. In China, this is becoming standard even in entry-level cars.
In the Xiaomi YU7, the vehicle’s AI can not only interact with the car, but it also sees what the car sees through its camera, and it can tell you about what it sees:
Tesla is clearly far behind on that front as many automakers are integrating with other LLMs like ChatGPT and in-house LLMs, like Xiaomi’s.

Robinhood stock hit an all-time high Friday as the financial services platform continued to rip higher this year, along with bitcoin and other crypto stocks.
Robinhood, up more than 160% in 2025, hit an intraday high above $101 before pulling back and closing slightly lower.
The reversal came after a Bloomberg report that JPMorgan plans to start charging fintechs for access to customer bank data, a move that could raise costs across the industry.
For fintech firms that rely on thin margins to offer free or low-cost services to customers, even slight disruptions to their cost structure can have major ripple effects. PayPal and Affirm both ended the day nearly 6% lower following the report.
Despite its stellar year, the online broker is facing several headwinds, with a regulatory probe in Florida, pushback over new staking fees and growing friction with one of the world’s most high-profile artificial intelligence companies.
Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier opened a formal investigation into Robinhood Crypto on Thursday, alleging the platform misled users by claiming to offer the lowest-cost crypto trading.
“Robinhood has long claimed to be the best bargain, but we believe those representations were deceptive,” Uthmeier said in a statement.
The probe centers on Robinhood’s use of payment for order flow — a common practice where market makers pay to execute trades — which the AG said can result in worse pricing for customers.
Robinhood Crypto General Counsel Lucas Moskowitz told CNBC its disclosures are “best-in-class” and that it delivers the lowest average cost.
“We disclose pricing information to customers during the lifecycle of a trade that clearly outlines the spread or the fees associated with the transaction, and the revenue Robinhood receives,” added Moskowitz.
Robinhood is also facing opposition to a new 25% cut of staking rewards for U.S. users, set to begin October 1. In Europe, the platform will take a smaller 15% cut.
Staking allows crypto holders to earn yield by locking up their tokens to help secure blockchain networks like ethereum, but platforms often take a percentage of those rewards as commission.
Robinhood’s 25% cut puts it in line with Coinbase, which charges between 25.25% and 35% depending on the token. The cut is notably higher than Gemini’s flat 15% fee.
It marks a shift for the company, which had previously steered clear of staking amid regulatory uncertainty.
Under President Joe Biden‘s administration, the Securities and Exchange Commission cracked down on U.S. platforms offering staking services, arguing they constituted unregistered securities.
With President Donald Trump in the White House, the agency has reversed course on several crypto enforcement actions, dropping cases against major players like Coinbase and Binance and signaling a more permissive stance.
Even as enforcement actions ease, Robinhood is under fresh scrutiny for its tokenized stock push, which is a growing part of its international strategy.
The company now offers blockchain-based assets in Europe that give users synthetic exposure to private firms like OpenAI and SpaceX through special purpose vehicles, or SPVs.
An SPV is a separate entity that acquires shares in a company. Users then buy tokens of the SPV and don’t have shareholder privileges or voting rights directly in the company.
OpenAI has publicly objected, warning the tokens do not represent real equity and were issued without its approval. In an interview with CNBC International, CEO Vlad Tenev acknowledged the tokens aren’t technically equity shares, but said that misses the broader point.
“What’s important is that retail customers have an opportunity to get exposure to this asset,” he said, pointing to the disruptive nature of AI and the historically limited access to pre-IPO companies.
“It is true that these are not technically equity,” Tenev added, noting that institutional investors often gain similar exposure through structured financial instruments.
The Bank of Lithuania — Robinhood’s lead regulator in the EU — told CNBC on Monday that it is “awaiting clarifications” following OpenAI’s statement.
“Only after receiving and evaluating this information will we be able to assess the legality and compliance of these specific instruments,” a spokesperson said, adding that information for investors must be “clear, fair, and non-misleading.”
Tenev responded that Robinhood is “happy to continue to answer questions from our regulators,” and said the company built its tokenized stock program to withstand scrutiny.
“Since this is a new thing, regulators are going to want to look at it,” he said. “And we expect to be scrutinized as a large, innovative player in this space.”
SEC Chair Paul Atkins recently called the model “an innovation” on CNBC’s Squawk Box, offering some validation as Robinhood leans further into its synthetic equity strategy — even as legal clarity remains in flux across jurisdictions.
Despite the regulatory noise, many investors remain focused on Robinhood’s upside, and particularly the political tailwinds.
The company is positioning itself as a key beneficiary of Trump’s newly signed megabill, which includes $1,000 government-seeded investment accounts for newborns. Robinhood said it’s already prototyping an app for the ‘Trump Accounts‘ initiative.
