It is joined by Rad Powers’ latest flash sale that is dropping the RadRunner 2 Utility e-bike to $1,299 and also offering free accessories on two other models, as well as a rare special from EVOLV that is dropping the PRO V2 Electric Scooter to its $1,799 low.

Lectric takes up to $570 off e-bike bundles

Lectric eBikes is currently celebrating its five-year anniversary, and wanting to extend the celebrations to its customers, has launched a new limited-time sale that is offering five free accessories along with your purchase of either an XP 3.0, XPedition, or XP Trike e-bike. A standout amongst the bunch is the XPedition Single-Battery Cargo e-bike for $1,399 shipped. Down from its usual $1,933 price tag, we only saw it fall to this price for a short-lived period in March before rising to stay at $1,475 since, but today’s deal is bringing things back to the all-time low once more. You’ll find the dual-battery model down to the second-lowest $1,699 rate. It should also be noted that you’ll automatically see the discounted rate once the e-bike and the accessories have been added to your cart.

The Lectric XPedition e-bike was designed for those who are always on the go – especially folks like parents dropping off and picking up their kids from school or delivery drivers who need long travel ranges. It comes equipped with an upgraded 750W rear hub-motor (1310W peak) alongside a 48V battery that carries the e-bike up to 75 miles on a single charge (150 miles with dual-battery), hitting speeds of 20 MPH using only the throttle and up to 28 MPH with the five levels of pedal assistance. It comes with a variety of features to enhance your ride: the integrated cargo rack, custom puncture-resistant tires, hydraulic mineral oil brakes paired with 180mm rotors, a headlamp, taillights, fenders on both wheels, and a backlit LCD display that gives you all the real-time performance data.

Rad Power RadRunner 2 Utility e-bike now $1,299

Rad Power Bikes has launched a flash sale through May 8 that is giving you three varying deals on three different e-bike models; either a $100 off discount or free accessories. The first of these deals is on the RadRunner 2 Utility e-bike for $1,299 shipped. Usually fetching $1,399 since the company lowered prices across its lineup of models, we’ve seen this e-bike included in most of the company’s holiday sales as well as several flash sales throughout the months, often falling to $1,299, but we have seen one instance of the price dropping further to the $1,199 low. Today’s deal is a solid $100 markdown off the going rate that lands at the second-lowest price we have tracked.

Carrying the mantle as Rad Power’s jack-of-all-trades model, the RadRunner 2 comes equipped with a 750W brushless-geared hub motor and 672Wh battery that propels it to a max speed of 20 MPH and travels up to 50 miles on a single charge. It features a four-level pedal assist with a low-profile cadence sensor, and a simple control panel that gives you the battery’s charge level and allows you to adjust pedal assistance settings. It also comes stocked with a rear-mounted cargo rack that offers a 120-pound payload, puncture-resistant fat tires, a standard LED headlight, and an integrated taillight with both brake light and flash mode capabilities.

The second deal is on the RadRunner 3 Plus for $2,099, which comes with a free accessory worth up to $100. This model comes with a 750W rear hub motor and 672Wh battery that hits a max speed of 20 MPH for 45+ miles on a single charge. It has been upgraded with one extra pedal assist level and offers much of the same array of features as the above deal, with the added bonus of fenders for both tires and a full digital display.

The RadTrike e-tricycle is also receiving a free accessory as part of this sale, albeit a pre-designated large basket for front-side mounting for $1,599. It comes with an equally powerful motor as the above models, but with a smaller 480Wh battery that only reaches a max speed of 14 MPH for a much longer 55+ miles of travel range on a single charge. You’ll also get the full list of features from the above deal as well to round out the package.

This flash sale will continue through May 8, with the discounts on the RadRunner 3 Plus and RadTrike being automatically applied in cart when you add both items to your cart. You can browse through Rad Power’s included accessories here. And head over to our Green Deals hub to look through all the other e-bike brands that are having spring sales, as well as deals on power stations, electric tools, water heaters, and more.

EVOLV PRO V2 Electric Scooter hits $1,799 low

EVOLV is offering a $200 off special on two of its electric scooter models, like the popular PRO V2 Electric Scooter for $1,799 shipped, after using the on-page promo code PROV2-ROCKS at checkout. Down from its $1,999 price tag, we’ve seen a few different discounts drop over the last year on this particular model since its release, all of them falling to the same $1,799 low during major holiday shopping events like Black Friday and Christmas sales. Today’s deal is no different, coming in as a solid $200 markdown that lands at the lowest price we have tracked.

The PRO V2 e-scooter comes equipped with dual 1,200W motors (2,600W peak) and a 52V battery that carries the scooter up to a max speed of 44 MPH for up to 37 miles on a single charge. You can also upgrade to the Pro-R V2 model for an additional $300 ($500 normally – the above promo code works for this upgraded model as well), boosting your motors to 1,400W of nominal power each and extending travel distance up to 50 miles on a single charge. They both feature front and rear spring suspension, front and rear hydraulic disc brakes, a front fender light, a taillight, running lights, turn signal lights, an IP54 water-resistance rating, and a smart center display – all with a foldable design for easy storage and transport when not in use.

The second model included in this special sale is the CORSA Electric Scooter for $2,635 shipped, after using the on-page promo code CORSA-ROCKS at checkout. This model also sports dual 1,200W motors (but with a 4,800W peak) and a larger 60V battery that hits 44 MPH for up to 37 miles on a single charge. It comes with 11-inch tubeless street-style grippy tires, front and rear shock suspension, dual hydraulic disc brakes, twin Halo LED headlights, in-deck lighting, twin LED taillights, turn signal lights, and a large center display.

Spring e-bike deals!

Here's a look Nissan's next-gen LEAF spotted testing in the US [Image]

Nissan's-next-gen-LEAF-spotted

The iconic electric car is due for a revival. Nissan’s next-gen LEAF was officially spotted testing in the US, giving us our best look at the upcoming EV so far.

Nissan’s next-gen LEAF spotted in the US testing

After launching the LEAF in 2010 as the first mass-market EV, Nissan’s electric hatch won over many buyers with its low starting price and comfortable drive.

Fast forward 15 years and almost every automaker has an electric car. The LEAF is falling out of favor with new electric models with more range, faster charging, and advanced new technology.

Nissan is preparing to change that. The Nissan LEAF is due for a refresh, and from what we’ve seen so far, it will undergo a complete overhaul.

After ending production at its UK facility almost a year ago, Nissan is getting ready to launch a new wave of electric vehicles.

The first will be its next-gen LEAF. Nissan is shaking things up with the new model as it looks to revamp the LEAF for the modern age. Nissan said its Chill-out concept, revealed in 2021, gave us a preview of what to expect.

According to sources who have seen the new EV, Nissan’s next-gen LEAF will be more of a crossover coupe than a hatchback. One even described it as a “mini Ariya,” Nissan’s larger electric SUV. However, it’s still expected to be smaller and more sporty than the Qashqai and Juke models.

With its debut just around the corner, Nissan’s next-gen LEAF was recently spotted testing with Michigan plates on. The new image from KindelAuto reveals its new crossover-like design.

Despite the camouflage, you can see its design sways from the original LEAF with a sportier stance and smoother profile.

Nissan is expected to begin building the new LEAF at its UK plant as early as spring 2025. Check back for more info leading up to its debut.

What do you think of the LEAF’s new look? Will the compact electric car make a comeback as a crossover? Let us know what you think in the comments.

NIU is offering ongoing savings through January 23 across its KQi-series e-scooters for folks looking to add a new solution to commuting needs at affordable rates. With so many models dropping back to their lowest prices, one notable standout for those who want to go the distance is NIU’s KQi3 Max Electric Kick Scooter at $599.98 shipped. Normally running at a much steeper $999 full rate, we’ve seen discounts mainly taking this model down around $700 most sales, with Black Friday/Cyber Monday sales dropping things to the $599 low. It’s coming in during this sale at only $1 higher, giving you the second-lowest price we have seen to date while saving you nearly $400 in the process. You’ll also find this model matching in price over at Amazon.

One of the best e-scooters under NIU’s flag for folks in need of longer-range travel support, the KQi3 Max e-scooter can go the distance thanks to its 608.4Wh battery that carries riders up to 40 miles on a single charge. You’ll be cruising through your commute at up to a max of 23.6 MPH, after unlocking the speed in the app – with its 450W motor even able to peak in power enough to conquer up to 25% inclines, which beats out a majority of other competitors on the market.

The NIU KQi3 Max e-scooter has been given a triple braking system for ensured stopping power, with one of them being a regenerative brake that recycles energy for extended travels. Everything sits atop two self-healing tires for rides along questionable terrain (or even streets littered with glass, nails, and more), as well as a halo headlight, brake lighting, and smart controls via the app, which includes unlocking those higher speeds and even locking the scooter when you’re not riding.

Edison says no electrical anomalies found before Eaton blaze as shares tumble as wildfires rage on

Edison says no electrical anomalies found before Eaton blaze as shares tumble as wildfires rage on

Edison International CEO: Do not see anamolies pointing to power lines being the cause of CA fires

Southern California Edison did not detect any electrical anomalies from its equipment in the hours before the outbreak of the Eaton Fire in the Los Angeles area, the CEO of the utility’s parent company said Monday.

Four transmission lines in the Eaton Canyon area showed no signs of interruptions or anomalies in the 12 hours prior to the fire’s start time, the utility told the California Public Utilities Commission in an incident report.

Electrical anomalies are typically seen when equipment sparks, Edison International CEO Pedro Pizarro told CNBC’s “Money Movers.”

“There may be some other mechanism here. Unfortunately, we have not been able to get up close to the lines yet,” Pizarro said. The CEO promised to be transparent with the public as the company continues its investigation.

Pizarro’s comments come as Edison International shares fell 11% and hit a fresh 52-week low intraday, as wildfires continue in Southern California. The Eaton Fire is the second-largest of the three ongoing blazes. It has killed at least 17 people, as it burned through more than 14,000 acres and destroyed or damaged thousands of structures since it began last Tuesday. The fire is currently 33% contained.

After the CEO’s appearance, Bloomberg reported that a lawsuit was filed against the company’s southern California subsidiary by a group of residents and business owners who allege the utility’s power lines sparked the fire. CNBC reached out to the company for comment.

Fire agencies are investigating whether Southern California Edison equipment played a role in the start of the smaller Hurst Fire, according to statement from the utility on Sunday. The Hurst blaze is 95% contained after burning through nearly 800 acres since last Tuesday.

Preliminary information indicates Edison equipment experienced an electrical anomaly one minute after the Hurst Fire reportedly started, according to the company. A downed powerline was also found at a tower. Pizarro said it’s unclear whether the damage happened before or after the fire started.
