Snapcycle’s new 2024 R1 Pro All-Terrain e-bike gets first discount to $1,799

Snapcycle is offering its all new 2024 R1 Pro All-Terrain e-bike for $1,799 shipped, after using the promo code SNAP200 at checkout for $200 off. Down from its $1,999 price tag, this is the very first chance to save on this all-new e-bike model. There is also a bundle option that gives you a free Vintage Leather Bag along with the $200 off discount for $1,908 shipped. The new R1 Pro e-bike comes equipped with a 750W brushless geared motor (1,200W peak) alongside a 48V Samsung battery that propels the bike up to a max speed of 28 MPH for up to 60 miles on a single charge. It has five levels of pedal assistance (that is configurable up to 9 levels) that are monitored by a torque sensor – with a throttle available as well for pure electric action (at 20 MPH max), but keep in mind mileage will vary. It also features a headlight with high/low beam functionality, 4-inch fat tires with fenders over both, a rear cargo rack, a 7-speed SHIMANO derailleur, dual-piston hydraulic brakes with meatal-ceramic brake pads, and an integrated color LCD display for real-time performance data. You’ll also get smart controls through the companion app via Bluetooth for performance monitoring and keyless unlocking.

Anker SOLIX C800 Plus Portable Power Station with 100W Solar Panel returns to $698 low

The official Anker Amazon storefront is offering its SOLIX C800 Plus Portable Power Station with 100W Solar Panel for $698 shipped, after clipping the on-page $250 off coupon. Normally fetching $948, this particular bundle has only seen two previous discounts since its release at the start of March, which dropped costs to the $698 low first, then to $848 a month later. Today’s deal comes in as a 26% markdown off the going rate that beats our previous mention by $150 and lands as a return to the all-time lowest price we have tracked. You can find the SOLIX C800 Plus on its own at $599, after clipping the on-page $50 off coupon, or bundled alongside a 200W solar panel for $1,048, after clipping the on-page $100 off coupon.

The SOLIX C800 Plus sports a compact 768Wh capacity with 1,600W of power output. It can fully recharge in just 58 minutes via a wall outlet, 7.2 hours via your car, or just under three hours when paired with 300W of solar panel input. It features two water-resistant LED camping lights that have three modes to choose from: a candlelight mode that covers up to 10m², a flood light mode that covers up to 20m², and a flashlight mode that covers up to 20m² – all of them lasting up to eight hours.

The lights can be easily recharged by stowing them back inside the top of the power station’s case, and they even come with a versatile retractable pole arm that can be used as a hanger, tripod, or selfie stick when not being used to extend the camping light’s reach. To cover your other devices and appliances, you’ll have five AC ports, two USB-A ports, two USB-C ports, and a car port. You’ll also be able to completely monitor and control its settings through the Anker SOLIX app, including enabling and disabling ports via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi.

You’ll also find the standard C800 model on sale as well for $499, after clipping the on-page $100 off coupon. The only difference here is the lack of the two LED camping lights and their respective pole arm, giving you a $50 difference in price. Aside from this, you’ll receive all the same features as the Plus model, so decisions likely lie on how much lighting you already have for your campsite or for emergency power outages. You’ll also find some bundle options available as well, with the standard model paired along with a 100W or 200W solar panel for $648 or $998, after clipping the on-page coupons.

AeroGarden Bounty Basic Indoor Garden now $144

Amazon is offering the AeroGarden Bounty Basic Indoor Garden for $144 shipped. Down from its newer $180 price tag, with an original $300 MSRP, it spent most of 2023 coasting along pricing plateaus between $155 and $180, only hitting its $128 low during Black Friday sales. Aside from the fall to its new $180 list price, we haven’t seen much in ways of price cuts since the new year began, with the first discounts occurring in late March. Today’s deal comes in as a 20% markdown off the going rate that beats our previous mention by $9 and lands at the third-lowest price we have tracked.

If you’ve ever wanted your own herb garden but don’t have the space outside to cultivate one, this handy hydroponic device is a perfect alternative. No soil, no mess – with its 30W LED grow lights, you’ll be able to grow as many as nine plants up to 24 inches tall. It features an automatic lighting timer to better mimic the phases of the sun throughout the day, as well as a vacation mode that tends to your plants’ continued growth while you’re out of town – all accessed via the touchscreen control panel. It also comes with an assortment of herb seed pods (including Genovese Basil, Curly Parsley, Dill, Thyme, Thai Basil, Mint, Chives, and Italian Parsley) that will begin sprouting within days and ready to harvest in a matter of weeks.

Other new Green Deals landing this week

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.

In an effort to decarbonize its own logistical operations, Daimler Trucks North America is expanding the use of electric trucks across multiple regions, including Arizona, Ohio, Michigan, and the Carolinas.

Daimler Trucks North America (DTNA) began integrating Freightliner eCascadia battery electric semi trucks into their logistics operations throughout the Pacific Northwest last December, and added routes supporting DTNA’s manufacturing plant in Santiago, Mexico, earlier this year. DTNA announced plans to begin using its Freightliner eM2 electric box trucks for short-haul operations and deliveries at those facilities, as well.

Daimler hopes its efforts will serve to showcase the effectiveness of its electric trucks in real-world scenarios, eventually spurring sales — but proving its products can do the job is just part of the equation. DTNA is also showing its customers that’s it’s ready to “walk the walk” when it comes to sustainability and decarbonization.

“Our commitment to sustainability extends across our entire value chain,” offers Jeff Allen, senior vice president of operations and specialty vehicles at DTNA. “As we witness the adoption of electric vehicles, such as our Freightliner eCascadia and Freightliner eM2 trucks, within our logistics network, we are not only driving sustainability but also laying the groundwork for adaptable and robust electric logistics solutions.”

To that end, DTNA has announced plans to achieve carbon neutrality for all new products and services from direct suppliers in Europe, the US, and Japan by 2039, and reminds us that the Portland Truck Manufacturing Plant (where the Freightliner eCascadia and eM2 are built) has beem CO₂-neutral since 2020. DTNA says it will achieve CO₂-neutral production at 100% of its truck plants by 2025.

Electrek’s Take

The more people experience DTNA’s excellent lineup of electric MD and HD trucks, the more people seem to rave about them. As such, putting operators behind the wheel of these EVs is critical for DTNA’s plans to conquer the North American electric semi market.

Are DTNA’s trucks up to the challenge of Tesla’s decidedly unconventional, center-seat electric semi? Scroll on down to the comments and let us know what you think!

If Batman’s true identity, Bruce Wayne, existed in real life, what car would you think he’d drive? Boutique electric hypercar builder Automobili Pininfarina has teamed up with Wayne Enterprises – a luxury brand based on the Batman franchise developed by Warner Brothers, to create four different bespoke EVs that will be produced in limited quantities and sold to consumers with pockets as deep as master Wayne’s.

Automobili Pininfarina is the all-electric rebirth of the original Pininfarina S.p.A. brand, founded in Italy in 1930. Since its 2018 renaissance, the Italian brand (which now operates out of Germany) has delivered some genuinely one-of-a-kind electric hypercars to gawk at.

Its portfolio began with the 1,877 horsepower Battista hyper GT, which has since seen multiple limited edition variants, including the $2.9 million Battista Anniversario and the Edizione—a special BEV dedicated to the first-ever Formula 1 champion Nino Farina.

Earlier this month, Automobili Pininfarina unveiled a third variant called the Battista Reversario, which can accelerate 0-60 mph in 1.79 seconds. Pininfarina’s BEVs all look like something Batman would drive, or at the very least, something the caped crusader’s true identity, Bruce Wayne, would cruise around Gotham City in.

In addition to the Battista, Automobili Pininfarina has launched another model called the B95 Barchetta—a topless hypercar that currently reigns as the most expensive BEV on the planet. It’s definitely Bruce Wayne material.

DC Comics and Warner Brothers, the companies behind the Batman franchise, feel the same way, so they have recruited Automobili Pininfarina to adapt the two models above into four bespoke EVs that they actually plan to sell to the public. Let’s start with the Battistas.

Automobili Pininfarina channels Batman with 4 new EVs

Automobili Pininfarina shared images and other details of the four Batman-inspired BEV models today, including two Battista hyper GT variants and two versions of the B95 Barchetta, aptly named “Dark Knight” and “Gotham.”

The collection was developed alongside Wayne Enterprises, a luxury brand managed by Warner Brothers that brings products inspired by Batman’s alter ego, Bruce Wayne, to life and sells them to the public—well, the small portion of the public that lives like the fictional billionaire playboy, at least.

Pininfarina’s Chief Design Officer, Dave Amantea, spoke about the opportunity to collaborate with Wayne Enterprises, DC Comics, and Warner Brothers to bring some BEVs worthy of the fictional character’s checkbook to life:

Designing an all-electric hypercar inspired by Bruce Wayne is a dream assignment for our team, giving them creative freedom to place themselves into the imagination of someone as iconic as Bruce Wayne. These two exclusive specifications for our two hypercars represent the ultimate vehicles for the man behind the most famous mask in the world.

All four models feature the same powertrain, battery, and performance specs, including a 120kWh lithium-ion battery and four all-electric motors generating 1,900 horsepower. The result is a bespoke, Batman-inspired Pininfarina hypercar that can accelerate 0-100km/h (0-62mph) in well under two seconds. The automaker says it is faster than any current Formula 1 car.

While the specs closely resemble previous iterations of the Battista and Barchetta hypercars, Pininfarina points out several unique design elements that have been added to give these four models that special Batman treatment. Per the release:

Both Battista and B95 models receive all-new Wayne Enterprises-inspired HMI display enhancements, featuring an instruction voice inspired by Bruce Wayne’s loyal butler and assistant, Alfred Pennyworth. The Battista models also offer entirely new performance-enhancing specifications. These include tailgate shark fins and louver openings in the front and rear carbon fibre wings to improve overall aerodynamic efficiency towards the rear airbrake and vehicle side body. The exterior is completed with Wayne Enterprises logos on the side skirts and roof, and all models display a unique aluminium chassis and door plate, inspired by Bruce Wayne.

To further emphasise the ‘Dream Cars Made Real’ philosophy, the interiors of both the Battista Gotham and Dark Knight cars benefit from a completely new door and roof design where a large portion of the roof is curved glass, to lighten the interior ambience. 

To honor the “Dark Knight” theme, Automobili Pininfarina has added dark elements to those two versions of the Battista and Barchetta, including black Alcantara and leather upholstery and a unique black and gold duo-tone contrast stitch detailing a “Wayne Enterprises” logo (seen above). The Dark Knight exteriors feature Nero Profondo gloss paint, a Nero Torino ‘Goccia’ roof, and Glorioso ceramic-polished rims.

Conversely, the “Gotham” versions of the Pininfarina hypercars were designed to reflect Bruce Wayne’s more gentle, domesticated side when he’s not crusading through the night as Batman. The Gotham exteriors feature Argento Vittorio gloss paint, a Nero Torino gloss paint Goccia roof, and a backlit version of the automaker’s “F” logo made of brushed and polished anodized aluminum.

The vehicles feature 20-inch alloy wheels up front and 21-inch wheels in the rear, all finished with a Prezioso Evoluzione gloss black face and a matte black channel rim. Inside the Gotham versions of the Battista and B95 Barchetta, you’ll find tan leather, bespoke quilting in the center panels, and tan stitching.

In true Automobili Pininfarina fashion, these four Batman-inspired hypercars will see a limited production run; we just don’t know how many will be built. The automaker told Electrek it will produce as many as are ordered, which truthfully shouldn’t be many.

As for pricing, here’s what the hypercar maker is charging per BruceWayneX.com:

• Battista Dark Knight: €3,400,000 ($3,631,438)
• Battista Gotham: €3,400,000 (3,631,438)
• B95 Dark Knight: €4,900,000 (5,234,596)
• B95 Gotham: €4,900,000 (5,234,596)

Those are MSRPs only worthy of Bruce Wayne-like billionaires. You can take a closer look at the bespoke Batman hypercars in the video shared by Automobili Pininfarina below:
