This GoTrax step-through e-bike is $500 off
A $500 discount is making this step-through e-bike from GoTrax even more affordable as it drops to $899 shipped at Best Buy. It’s one of the first discounts yet on this recent debut, letting you bring home a new electric ride at its best price ever. The build features a 45-mile range with a 20 MPH top speeds thanks to a 500W motor and Class 2 design. The GoTrax CTI3 also features a rear storage rack as well as a Shimano 7-speed gear shifter, all of which comes packed into an under 65-pound EV. There’s a 672Wh battery on board, too.
Snow Joe’s 24V 21-inch electric snow blower starts at $398
Best Buy is offering the Snow Joe 24V 21-Inch Cordless Electric Snow Blower for $449.99 shipped. It normally sells for $800, and is now dropping even lower if you have a my Best Buy membership. You can knock $52 extra off for being a member, dropping to $398. A major detail about this particular package is the inclusion of four 12.0Ah batteries and two chargers, which significantly increases its runtime to cover far more area. You’ll find the same 24V snow blower with only two 4.0Ah batteries as the more common option on Amazon for around $400, for example, that only give it a 40-minute lifespan – whereas finding it with the four 12Ah batteries will often start at a $1,400 list price.
Equipped with a 2,800W brushless motor powered by a IONMAX battery system, this snow blower is able to clear a 21-inch wide and 12-inch deep path, throwing the snow up to 30 feet out of the way. You won’t have to worry about ice, either, as its 2-blade steel auger is able to break it up and cut through at faster rates, all while its weather-resistant steel body stands up to challenging conditions. It features a variable speed control for the auger to give you better handling over the device, with 3W LED headlights as well for better visibility when doing nighttime or early-morning clearings.
Save $1,000 on Juiced’s HyperScrambler 2 dual battery e-bike
Juiced Bikes is taking a massive $1,000 off its HyperScrambler 2 Dual Battery e-bike as apart of its clearance sale, dropping costs to $2,499 shipped. Today’s deal comes in as a 29% markdown off the going rate, beating out all but one of its previous discounts from 2023. While it sits $300 above the New Year’s sale from the end of December, it does match its Black Friday pricing to land as the second-lowest discount we have tracked. If you’re a fan of this e-bike and have been considering making a purchase, you best do it soon because the current version is being discontinued as soon as it runs out of stock. You can learn more about the HyperScrambler 2 by heading below the fold or checking out our review over at Electrek.
This moped-style e-bike comes equipped with a 1,000W retroblade motor and two 52V batteries that reaches a top speed of 30 MPH while traveling up to 100+ miles on a single charge. It features a unique combination cadence and torque pedal assist, that measures your pedal force 1,000 times a second to apply proportional power to your own effort while simultaneously receiving over 100 signals per crank revolution to eliminate any lag that one might feel with a traditional 12-magnet cadence sensor alone.
Winter e-bike deals!
Other new Green Deals landing this week
The savings this week are also continuing to a collection of other markdowns. To the same tune as the offers above, these all help you take a more energy-conscious approach to your routine. Winter means you can lock in even better off-season price cuts on electric tools for the lawn while saving on EVs and tons of other gear.

If you’ve ever wondered what happens when you combine a fruit cart, a cargo bike, and a Piaggio Ape all in one vehicle, now you’ve got your answer. I submit, for your approval, this week’s feature for the Awesomely Weird Alibaba Electric Vehicle of the Week column – and it’s a beautiful doozie.
Feast your eyes on this salad slinging, coleslaw cruising, tuber taxiing produce chariot!
I think this electric vegetable trike might finally scratch the itch long felt by many of my readers. It seems every time I cover an electric trike, even the really cool ones, I always get commenters poo-poo-ing it for having two wheels in the rear instead of two wheels in the front. Well, here you go, folks!
Designed with two front wheels for maximum stability, this trike keeps your cucumbers in check through every corner. Because trust me, you don’t want to hit a pothole and suddenly be juggling peaches like you’re in Cirque du Soleil: Farmers Market Edition.
To avoid the extra cost of designing a linked steering system for a pair of front wheels, the engineers who brought this salad shuttle to life simply side-stepped that complexity altogether by steering the entire fixed front end. I’ve got articulating electric tractors that steer like this, and so if it works for a several-ton work machine, it should work for a couple hundred pounds of cargo bike.
Featuring a giant cargo bed up front with four cascading fruit baskets set up for roadside sales, this cargo bike is something of a blank slate. Sure, you could monetize grandma’s vegetable garden, or you could fill it with your own ideas and concoctions. Our exceedingly talented graphics wizard sees it as the perfect coffee and pastry e-bike for my new startup, The Handlebarista, and I’m not one to argue. Basically, the sky is the limit with a blank slate bike like this!
Sure, the quality doesn’t quite match something like a fancy Tern cargo bike. The rim brakes aren’t exactly confidence-inspiring, but at least there are three of them. And if they should all give out, or just not quite slow you down enough to avoid that quickly approaching brick wall, then at least you’ve got a couple hundred pounds of tomatoes as a tasty crumple zone.
The electrical system does seem a bit underpowered. With a 36V battery and a 250W motor, I don’t know if one-third of a horsepower is enough to haul a full load to the local farmer’s market. But I guess if the weight is a bit much for the little motor, you could always do some snacking along the way. On the other hand, all the pictures seem to show a non-electric version. So if this cart is presumably mobile on pedal power alone, then that extra motor assist, however small, is going to feel like a very welcome guest.
The $950 price is presumably for the electric version, since that’s what’s in the title of the listing, though I wouldn’t get too excited just yet. I’ve bought a LOT of stuff on Alibaba, including many electric vehicles, and the too-good-to-be-true price is always exactly that. In my experience, you can multiply the Alibaba price by 3-4x to get the actual landed price for things like these. Even so, $3,000-$4,000 wouldn’t be a terrible price, considering a lot of electric trikes stateside already cost that much and don’t even come with a quad-set of vegetable baskets on board!
I should also put my normal caveat in here about not actually buying one of these. Please, please don’t try to buy one of these awesome cargo e-trikes. This is a silly, tongue-in-cheek weekend column where I scour the ever-entertaining underbelly of China’s massive e-commerce site Alibaba in search of fun, quirky, and just plain awesomely weird electric vehicles. While I’ve successfully bought several fun things on the platform, I’ve also gotten scammed more than once, so this is not for the timid or the tight-budgeted among us.
That isn’t to say that some of my more stubborn readers haven’t followed in my footsteps before, ignoring my advice and setting out on their own wild journey. But please don’t be the one who risks it all and gets nothing in return. Don’t say I didn’t warn you; this is the warning.
