Save $350 on Rad Power’s RadExpand 5 Folding e-bike at new $1,249 low in flash sale
Rad Power Bikes has launched a flash sale that is taking up to $350 off two e-bike models through March 20. The biggest discount is on the company’s RadExpand 5 Folding e-bike for $1,249 shipped. Fetching $1,599 since Rad Power lowered prices across their entire e-bike lineup, we saw plenty of short-lived flash sales and bigger holiday discounts alike on this particular model. Before the new year, this e-bike was priced at $1,649, often being brought down in cost somewhere between $1,599 and a former $1,299 low. Today’s deal comes in as a 22% markdown off the going rate, beating out our previous mention by $50 to mark a new all-time low.
The RadExpand 5 Folding e-bike comes equipped with a 750W brushless geared hub motor and a 672Wh battery that tops out at 20 MPH and can travel up to 45+ miles on a single charge, depending on conditions. 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.
The second e-bike included in this flash sale is the RadRover 6 Plus Fat-Tire e-bike for $1,399, down from $1,599. It comes as either a high-step or step-thru model, with both receiving the same discount. Equipped with a 750W brushless-geared hub motor and a semi-integrated 672Wh battery, it can reach top speeds of 20 MPH and travels with a range of up to 45 miles on a single charge. It features 5 levels of pedal assistance with a 12-magnet cadence sensor, full digital display, a pair of 26-inch by 4-inch puncture-resistant fat tires, water-resistant connectors and a wiring harness, and a frame that has been designed for maximum ergonomic comfort and solid handling – especially for riders at the bottom end of the height recommendation range.
WORX TURBINE Electric Leaf Blowers start from $55
Best Buy is offering the WORX TURBINE 600 CFM Electric Leaf Blower for $55 shipped through the rest of the day. Down from its usual $80 price tag, it saw its fair share of discounts over 2023, with the biggest being a drop to $55 in July – beaten out by the first discount of 2024 where it dropped to $50. Today’s deal comes in as a 31% markdown off the going rate and lands at the second-lowest price we have tracked – just $5 above the all-time low from January.
This leaf blower provides 600 CFM of power, reaching up to 110 MPH of sweeping force in order to blow through heavy debris. It has two speed modes depending on what surface you’re clearing: speed one covers pavements and tight corners with a slower CFM, and speed two ramps it to its max output for open spaces/lawns. This is a plug-in model, so you will have to worry about cord and extension cord lengths over battery runtime, but it does come with a 11.5-foot cable that attaches to the tool with a retainer to keep the cord plugged in, even when the line is snagged or tugged.
For a battery-powered model, Best Buy also has the WORX 20V TURBINE 360 CFM Cordless Electric Leaf Blower for $149, down from $180. This model provides a lower 360 CFM (75 MPH) and sports a variable speed control that can also maintain lower CFMs for specific needs and easier control. It weighs only 5.3-pounds with a control grip that absorbs vibrations making it hassle-free to operate with only one hand.
iHeat 120V 3.2kW Tankless Under-Sink Electric Water Heater back at $167
Amazon is offering the iHeat 120V 3.2KW Tankless Electric Water Heater for $167.20 shipped. Down from a $209 price tag, it only saw a few discounts over 2023, with the biggest of them dropping costs to $172 at the start of the year. Today’s deal comes in as a 20% markdown off the going rate, matching our previous mention and landing at the second-lowest price we have tracked – just $10 above the all-time low from 2019. This S-series under-sink water heater from iHeat Tankless will save you valuable space with its compact design, which makes it small enough to fit under counter installations or even tight closets. Manufactured in complete stainless steel, this water heater boasts an IXP4 waterproof construction with a waterproof interactive pad, and can be used in highly sterile applications such as commercial kitchens, hospitals, clinics, and schools. With its installation into your home or business, iHeat Tankless water heaters promise to save you “up to 60% on your water heating costs.”

Mercedes calls it the “one-liter” car for a reason. The new Mercedes CLA EV has an impressive EPA range of 374 miles, but in real-world driving, it can go even further.
Mercedes CLA EV beats EPA range in real-world driving
The new CLA EV might just be the most critical Mercedes model yet. It’s the first of the luxury brand’s latest generation of electric vehicles, promising to be much more advanced, efficient, and refined than ever before.
Powered by an 85 kWh battery pack, the 2026 Mercedes-Benz CLA 250+ has an EPA-estimated range of 374 miles.
Although that’s already among the highest for any 2026 model-year EV in the US, the electric CLA can drive even further in the real world.
The folks at Edmunds just got their hands on one to test it out. In the Edmunds EV Range Test, the 2026 Mercedes CLA EV crushed its EPA figures, driving an impressive 434 miles on a single charge, beating its official ratings by 16%.
Out of 13 Mercedes models Edmunds has tested, the new CLA EV had the second-longest driving range, trailing only the EQS 450+. However, given that the EQS is a full-size sedan and significantly more expensive than the CLA, it’s expected.
The 2026 Tesla Model 3 Standard went 339 miles, while the 2026 Audi A6 E-tron drove 402 miles during the EV Range Test.
The Edmunds EV Range Test is 60% city and 40% highway driving with an average speed of 40 mph. Each vehicle is set to the most efficient drive setting, while the climate control is set to 72 degrees to reflect the most accurate real-world driving conditions drivers encounter each day.
During the test, the electric CLA used 23.2 kWh per 100 miles of driving, beating the EPA’s estimates by 16.5%.
On the Edmunds EV Charging Test, it had an average charge rate of 193 kW from 10% to 80%, earning a score of 833 miles per hour. That’s the second-best of those tested, behind the Hyundai IONIQ 6.
| 2026 Mercedes-Benz CLA trim | Starting Price* | Driving Range |
| CLA 250+ | $47,250 | 374 miles |
| CLA 350 4MATIC | $49,800 | 312 miles |
The new Mercedes CLA EV is now the least expensive car they’ve tested, with over 400 miles of range. Last week, Mercedes launched the 2026 CLA 250+ EV, starting at $47,250.
Mercedes said it will begin delivering the first customer models this month, with output ramping up throughout early 2026.

Tesla is pulling every demand lever available as we head into the final weeks of the year. The automaker has launched a new set of aggressive incentives in the US, including free upgrades on inventory vehicles, 0% APR financing, and $0 down leases.
It’s the end of the quarter (and year), and as per usual, Tesla is trying to empty its inventory, but it’s more difficult this year due to the end of the tax credit in Q3 pulling a lot of demand away from Q4.
We have regularly reported on Tesla ramping up incentives at the end of the year, but this new batch is arguably the most aggressive we have seen in a long time.
First off, Tesla is offering one free upgrade on eligible inventory vehicles.
If you go to Tesla’s inventory page for Model 3 or Model Y, you will see a lot of vehicles listed with a “Free Upgrade” tag. This basically means that if you pick a car that has a paid option, like a premium paint color (Ultra Red or Quicksilver), 20″ Induction wheels, or the White interior, Tesla is waiving the cost of that option.
That’s a value of anywhere from $1,000 to $2,500 depending on the option.
On top of that, Tesla has expanded its financing offers. The company is now offering 0% APR financing for up to 72 months on Model 3 and Model Y purchases.
This is a significant move. We have seen low interest rates before, but 0% for 72 months is basically free money, especially in the current interest rate environment.
But wait, there’s more.
For those looking to lease, Tesla has introduced $0 down leases for the Model Y.
Previously, Tesla required a down payment of at least $3,000 for its best lease rates. Now, you can drive off the lot with a Model Y for $0 down, though the monthly payments will obviously be higher than with a down payment.
Tesla writes on its website regarding the new push:
“Take delivery by December 31, 2025 to take advantage of these limited-time offers. Available on select inventory vehicles while supplies last.”
The automaker is clearly trying to deliver as many cars as possible before the ball drops on 2025.
Electrek’s Take
The end-of-year push is in full swing.
When you see Tesla stacking incentives like this, 0% financing, zero down, and free options, it tells you one thing: they have inventory to move.
With a lot of demand in the US pulled forward into Q3 due to the end of the tax credit for electric vehicles, it was always clear that Tesla would have trouble moving cars in Q4.
These are roughly the best end-of-quarter incentives we have ever seen, and even then, I’d be surprised if Tesla can come close to its record deliveries of last year’s Q4: 495,000 vehicles.
