Rad Power’s RadWagon 4 Cargo e-bike now $1,599
Rad Power Bikes has launched an eight-day flash sale that is taking up to $400 off two particular e-bike models. The greatest of the two discounts is on the RadWagon 4 Cargo e-bike for $1,599 shipped. Down from its $1,999 price tag, we’ve seen this model go for less only two times before – once last summer when costs dropped to $1,399 and four years ago during its initial pre-order and launch sales where prices were seen dropping to $1,299 in special promotions. Today’s deal comes in as a 20% markdown off the going rate, matching our previous mentions from Black Friday and Christmas sales to land at the third-lowest price we have tracked and the second-lowest since its launch.
The RadWagon 4 Cargo e-bike comes equipped with a 750W geared hub motor and a 672Wh capacity battery that allows it to reach top speeds of 20 MPH and travel for up to 45+ miles on a single charge, depending on conditions. It features five levels of pedal assistance with a 12-magnet cadence sensor, as well as custom 22-inch by 3-inch tires, fenders for both tires, a water-resistant wiring harness, a 200-lumen headlight, an integrated taillight with brake light functionality, an integrated rear storage rack, and a backlit LCD display that gives you a battery level indicator, speedometer, odometer, trip odometer, pedal assist level, wattmeter, and a USB port to charge your devices.
The flash sale is also discounting the RadExpand 5 Folding e-bike for $1,499, down from $1,649. It comes equipped with the same motor and battery setup as the above model that provides an identical max speed and travel range. It features four levels of low-profile cadence sensing pedal assist, as well as a water-resistant wiring harness, a standard LED headlight, an integrated taillight with a brake light indicator functionality, an integrated rear storage rack, fenders for both tires, and a simple LED display that provides pedal assist controls and battery charge levels. Its main claim to fame amongst Rad Power’s e-bikes is its space-saving folding frame, with the mechanism located at its center for fast and easy storage or transport when it’s not in use.
Tesla Wall Connector Level 2 EV Charger hits $450 in rare discount
Amazon is offering the Tesla Wall Connector Level 2 EV Charger for $450 shipped. Down from its usual $475 price tag, this is a rare opportunity to save money on this device. It typically rides along its MSRP with any discounts that occur being minor trickles in price by $5 to $15 until particular sales events like Black Friday brings costs down slightly further. Today’s deal comes in as a $25 markdown off the going rate and lands as the third-lowest price we have tracked – $25 above the all-time low.
This EV charger employs a customizable output up to 48A of power that can be adjusted during either indoor or outdoor installation. It comes compatible with all Tesla models and when set at its maximum amperage, you’ll get up to 44 miles of travel range per hour of charging. By connecting it to a local Wi-Fi network, over-the-air firmware updates can be enabled for continual self-improvements as well as remote access control – which you can also get through the Tesla app. Head below to learn more.
Pit Boss Navigator 550 Wood Pellet Grill falls to $200 low
Best Buy is offering the Pit Boss Navigator 550 Wood Pellet Grill with a grill cover for $199.99 shipped. Down from $500, with a $749 MSRP, it spent the first half of 2023 at much higher listing prices before summer brought costs down to their new rates. It also didn’t receive many discounts during the year, having been largely left out of most sales events. Today’s deal comes in as a massive 60% markdown off the going rate and lands as a new all-time low. It even beats Pit Boss’ website where it is still listed at its MSRP.
No gas or propane needed for this grill, which utilizes wood pellets that produce lower emissions than even charcoal. It offers 8-in-1 cooking versatility, allowing you to smoke, bake, braise, roast, grill, barbecue, char-grill and sear all in one convenient machine. You’ll have total control over its settings, particularly through its dial-in digital control board with an LED read-out that offers a temperature range of 180 degrees to 500 degrees Fahrenheit and its electric ignition paired with a fan-forced air accelerator to maintain a clear flame throughout cooking. You can even go full-on caveman style and turn up the heat with the Flame Broiler lever that allows for direct flame searing up to 1,000 degrees Fahrenheit. Its 542-square inches of cooking space can handle your meals for the whole family – a capacity of approximately 26 burgers at once, for example. Head below to learn more.

The e-bike industry in the West has long been a tale of two territories. North Americans enjoy higher speeds and power limits for their electric bicycles while Europeans are held to much stricter (i.e. slower and lower) speed and power limits. However, things might change based on current discussions on rewriting European e-bike regulations.
New power levels are not totally without precedent, either. The UK briefly considered doubling its own e-bike power limit from 250 watts (approximately 1/3 horsepower) to 500 watts, though the move was ultimately abandoned.
But this time, the call for more power is coming from within the house – i.e., Germany. The Germans are the undisputed leaders and trend setters in the European e-bike market, accounting for around two million sales of e-bikes per year. Home to leading e-bike drive makers like Bosch, the country has yet another advantage when it comes to making – or regulating – waves in the industry.
And while there aren’t any pending law changes, the largest German trade organization ZIV (Zweirad-Industrie-Verband), which is highly influential in achieving such changes, is now discussing what it believes could be pertinent updates to current EU electric bike regulations.
Some of the new regulations involve creating rules maxing out power at levels such as 400% or 600% of the human pedaling input. But a key component of the proposed plan includes changing the present day power limit of e-bikes from 250W of continuous power at the motor to 750W of peak power at the drive wheel.
The difference includes some nuance, since continuous power is often considered more of a nominal figure, meaning nearly every e-bike motor in Europe wears a “250W” or less sticker despite often outputting a higher level of peak power. Even Bosch, which has to walk the tight and narrow as a leader in the European e-bike drive market, shared that its newest models of motors are capable of peak power ratings in the 600W level. That’s still far from the commonly 1,000W to 1,300W peak power seen in US e-bike motors, but offers a nice boost over an actual 250W motor.
Other new regulations up for discussion include proposals to limit fully-loaded cargo e-bike weights to either 250 kg (550 lb) for two-wheelers or 300 kg (660 lb) for e-bikes with more than two wheels. As road.cc explained, ZIV also noted that, “separate framework conditions and parameters must be defined for cargo bikes weighing more than 300 kg (see EN 17860-4:2025) as they differ significantly from EPACs and bicycles in their dynamics, design and operation.” Such heavy-duty cargo e-bikes, which often more closely resemble small delivery vans than large cargo bikes, are becoming more common in the industry and have raised concerns about cargo e-bike bloat, especially in dedicated cycling paths.
It’s too early to say whether European e-bike regulations will actually change, but the fact that key industry voices with the power to influence policy are openly advocating for it suggests that new rules for the European market are a real possibility.

China just laid out a plan to roll out over 100,000 ultra-fast EV charging stations by 2027 – and they’ll all be open to the public.
The National Development and Reform Commission’s (NDRC) joint notice, issued on Monday, asks local authorities to put together construction plans for highway service areas and prioritize the ones that see 40% or more usage during holiday travel rushes.
The NDRC notes that China’s ultra-fast EV charging infrastructure needs upgrading as more 800V EVs hit the road. Those high-voltage platforms can handle super-fast charging in as little as 10 to 30 minutes, but only if the charging hardware is up to speed.
China had 31.4 million EVs on the road at the end of 2024 – nearly 9% of the country’s total vehicle fleet. But charging access is still catching up. As of May 2025, there were 14.4 million charging points, or roughly 1 for every 2.2 EVs.
To keep the grid running smoothly, China wants new chargers to be smart, with dynamic pricing to incentivize off-peak charging and solar and storage to power the charging stations.
To make the business side work, the government is pushing for 10-year leases for charging station operators, and it’s backing the buildout with local government bonds.
The NDRC emphasized that the DC fast chargers built will be open to the public. This is a big deal because a lot of fast chargers in China aren’t. For example, BYD’s new megawatt chargers aren’t open to third-party vehicles.
As of September 2024, China had expanded its charging infrastructure to 11.4 million EV chargers, but only 3.3 million were public.
