Lectric Lightning Deals hit XP 3.0 e-bikes with up to $365 in free gear for outdoor ventures starting from $999

Lectric has continued many of its Earth Day e-bike bundle prices while switching things up with Lightning Deals on its XP 3.0 e-bikes that are getting increased bundles with up to $365 in free gear. You’ll find the Standard models now getting $310 bundles at $999 shipped alongside the Long-Range models getting $365 bundles at $1,199 shipped. These packages would normally cost you $1,309 and $1,564, respectively. These may not be the largest bundles we’ve seen before, but they are continuing the recent trend of gearing you up with cargo-capable add-ons for greater versatility during your outdoor ventures through spring and summer. Head below to learn more about these e-bikes and the included bundles you’ll be getting when purchasing them while these deals remain.

The best-selling e-bikes in America, Lectric’s XP 3.0 e-bikes offer durability and reliability while keeping down at extremely affordable rates. The frame provides folding capabilities for easier storage and transport when not in use, with a 500W hub motor that peaks at 1,000W and can top out at either 20 or 28 MPH speeds, depending on your state’s laws. Your decision on which to buy will largely fall on how far you want it to carry you, as the Standard models provide up to 45 miles of travel with PAS activated, while the Long-Range models take things further for up to 65 miles.

There are throttles on all the models for when you want to cruise off pure electric power, though this will decrease your travel range. They also come stocked with an integrated rear cargo rack (which the basket attaches to), puncture-resistant tires, 180mm hydraulic disc brakes, and an LCD display. Of course, don’t forget about the free gear you’ll be getting, with the Standard models coming with steel-encased front and rear cargo baskets, rear-view mirrors, a phone mount, an accordion-style bike lock, and a bottle holder. The Long-Range models are getting the same cargo package, a wide comfort saddle, a phone mount, a 35L water-resistant soft cooler, and a water-resistant pannier bag.

The e-bike pricing on the brand’s other e-bike bundles have remained the same, which you can browse in full in our original sale coverage here.

Score Anker’s SOLIX C1000 1,056Wh LiFePO4 power station with $550 in savings at $449

By way of its official Amazon storefront, Anker is offering its SOLIX C1000 Portable Power Station at $449 shipped, with the price undercutting its direct flash sale pricing by $100. This model normally sits at a full $999 price tag, though we’ve been more recently seeing it start at Amazon from $799. While we have seen it go $20 low before – last time being at the top of February – it’s been spending the last two months mostly dropping to either $499 or this same rate we’re seeing today. You’ll be scoring a 55% markdown off its MSRP while this deal lasts, giving you $550 in savings at the second-lowest price we have tracked.

Anker’s SOLIX C1000 power station makes a great camping companion for those who want a little more battery size from the camping-oriented C800 models, especially considering it’s beating those smaller models’ pricing, which starts from $499. It provides you with a 1,056Wh LiFePO4 capacity (with a bundle option below that will double that amount) alongside up to 1,800W of steady power output through its 11 port options that can surge to 2,400W for larger appliance needs. You can refill the battery to 80% in just 43 minutes when plugged into a wall outlet, though this does only account for the station alone and not any expanded setup. There’s also a 600W maximum solar input that you can take advantage of to refill the entire battery in 1.8 hours with ideal sunny conditions.

We’re seeing two discounted bundle options right now from Amazon that you can take advantage of, with the first giving you the power station and a 200W solar panel for $699 shipped, down from $1,299. As mentioned before, you could also score the station with an expansion battery to reach a 2,112Wh capacity for $869 shipped, bringing the costs significantly far from its $1,798 MSRP.

Greenworks’ latest pro-tier 3,000 PSI electric pressure washer at new $349 low (Today only)

As part of its Deals of the Day, Best Buy is offering the best price yet on the newest generation of Greenworks’ Pro 3,000 PSI Electric Pressure Washer for $349 shipped. Carrying a $450 price tag outside of discounts, we’ve seen three previous drops to $360 over at Amazon, which is currently out of stock. For the rest of the day, though, you can get a better-than-ever $101 markdown that drops costs to the lowest price we have tracked. This deal is also beating out the direct Greenworks website, where stock has also run out, making this the best place to score it to cover your outdoor cleaning needs through the months ahead.

Housed within a heavy-duty steel frame, this generation’s pro-tier model adds a foldable design over its predecessor for easier storage and transport when not in use. The 14A TruBrushless motor maxes out at 3,000 PSI for your cleaning needs, with a 1.1 to 2.0 GPM flow rate as it goes. Like its previous model, you’ll also find an onboard one-gallon detergent tank here, as well as a bunch of included accessories for wider versatility, including five nozzles, 25 feet of kink-resistant hose, and a durable quick-connect metal wand/gun.

A compact car crashed into a parked Tesla Cybertruck, messing with the electric truck’s rear suspension. The experience of trying to repair the truck was so complicated and costly that it ended up as a salvage.

The Cybertruck introduces several innovations, including its partially 48-volt electronic architecture, drive-by-wire steering, and stainless steel exterior.

However, innovations in the auto industry often come with higher or unpredictable repair costs.

Edmunds found out the hard way.

The publication bought a Cybertruck last year for long-term testing, but they disclosed this week that the truck was involved in an accident in December.

A “compact sedan” crashed into the rear wheel and bumper area on the driver’s side of the Cybertruck while it was parked. As you can see from the picture above, the damage didn’t look too bad, as you would expect for a 6,000-lb truck after an impact from a much smaller sedan.

However, before they knew it, the Cybertruck was totaled.

First off, Edmunds had to go to a Tesla Collision Center that can work on the Cybertruck and there are only two around Los Angeles, where they are based.

The first one said that it would take a month before they could estimate the repair, and another 6 months to start the repairs.

The second center, located in Ontario, California, also stated that there is a one-month wait to receive an estimate, but repairs can begin immediately after that.

Edmunds decided to go with the Tesla Collision Center in Ontario, but the repair never happened since the total cost was estimated at over $57,000.

Here’s the breakdown of repairs that the Cybertruck needed:

• Stripes and moldings: $619
• Motors and components: $4,191 (including $3,000 for an EV drive unit)
• Motor mounts: $77
• Wheels and parts: $1,758
• Steering: $2,040
• Rear suspension: $9,149 (including $2,500 for a new suspension crossmember)
• Cab and components: $3,800 (including $3,240 for a high-strength steel frame)
• Bed: $8,762.79 (including $1,595 for the outer panel, $4,280 for the aluminum rear section and $1,055 for the bed floor)
• Tailgate: $2,495
• Rear bumper: $2,417.73
• Rear body, lamps and floor plan: $1,668.50 (including $800 for the inner taillamp assembly)
• Miscellaneous parts: $357.22
• Other parts: $5
• Paint and materials: $610
• Tax on parts and materials: $3,320.65
• Labor: $16,584
• Sublet repairs: $25

Needless to say, the truck was declared totaled, and it just fetched $8,000 on a salvage car auction site.

Electrek’s Take

Holy moly! That’s insane. The suspension getting screwed from the vehicle smashing directly into the rear wheel I get. That could have happened with any truck, and sure, you’d be looking at over $10,000 in damages easily.

However, $9,000 to fix the bed, $2,500 to fix the rear bumper, and $2,500 to fix the bumper, and that’s just in parts before the $16,500 of labor overall, is nuts and doesn’t scream “heavy duty” and “apocalypse proof” truck.

The Cybertruck was supposed to be a rugged, stainless steel truck that you wouldn’t mind getting dinged and scratched. I think it will be challenging to justify this with $57,000 in damages for a relatively mild crash.
