Kicking off this week’s Green Deals is a rare discount on Hover-1’s white Altai Pro R750 e-bike for $1,816. It is joined by the Jackery Explorer 1000 Plus Portable Power Station that has returned to its $849 low, as well as the Greenworks 40V 25-inch Cordless Electric Self-Propelled Lawn Mower at $525. Plus, all the other hangover Green Deals that are still alive and well.

Head below for other New Green Deals we’ve found today and, of course, Electrek’s best EV buying and leasing deals. Also, check out the new Electrek Tesla Shop for the best deals on Tesla accessories.

Hover-1’s White Altai Pro R750 e-bike sees rare discount to $1,816

Amazon is offering the Hover-1 White Altai Pro R750 e-bike for $1,815.99 shipped. Regularly $3,000, this colorway has seen few discounts over the last year, with more than its black counterpart and less than its yellow counterpart. While we’ve seen this model (and more regularly its counterpart models) go for much less in the past, namely during Black Friday events, Christmas sales, and new year’s discounts, this is still a large 39% markdown off the going rate that beats out our previous mention by $70 and gives you $1,184 in savings. You’ll find the black model currently discounted to $2,029 shipped while the yellow model is marked down to $1,877 shipped.

Hover-1’s Altai Pro series of e-bikes sport the stylish frame of a motorcycle, with the R750 models coming decked out with several accessories: dual side mirrors, a phone storage bag, side and rear racks, two saddle bags, a rear mudguard, a triangular storage bag, and a folding lock. It is equipped with a 750W motor alongside a 48V battery that hits top speeds of 28 MPH and travels up to 55 miles on a single charge, with a removable battery for added convenience and a faster charging speed of seven to eight hours (I know, that long of a wait doesn’t seem fast, but compared to other e-bikes on the market, it’s definitely not the longest it could be). You’ll also enjoy a smoother ride thanks to its 20-inch fat tires that traverse uneven terrain unencumbered, with a headlight, taillight, and turn signals for safer and more street-legal cruises around town – day or night. Head below for more.

Jackery Explorer 1000 Plus Portable Power Station returns to $849 low

The official Jackery Amazon storefront is offering its Explorer 1000 Plus Portable Power Station for $849 shipped. Down from its $1,199 price tag, we’ve already seen four previous discounts since the new year began, bringing in lower prices to gear you up for hurricane season ahead of June. Two of these discounts took the price down to $950 in the first two months, with costs dropping lower to $899 in March and even further to the new $849 low just last month. Today’s deal comes in as a 29% markdown off the going rate and returns the price to the all-time lowest we have tracked – $50 under Black Friday rates.

Sporting a 1,264Wh capacity, the Explorer 1000 Plus provides 2,000W of power output (4,000W at its peak) and can fully recharge in 100 minutes via a wall outlet or in up to two hours via four Jackery SolarSaga 200W solar panels (sold separately). Storm warnings blowing up your phone? Plug the power station in and be prepared in less than two hours for any unexpected power outages (plus it is surge protected). You’ll have eight ports to cover your device charging needs: three ACs, two USB-As, two USB-Cs, and one car port. You’ll also get full smart controls through the companion app, allowing you to see remaining battery levels, customize settings and manage power consumption wherever you roam.

Greenworks 40V 25-inch Cordless Electric Self-Propelled Lawn Mower now $525

Amazon is offering the Greenworks 40V 25-inch Cordless Electric Self-Propelled Lawn Mower for $524.99 shipped. Normally fetching $700, this particular model saw very few discounts over the last year, having its biggest price drop to $450 during Black Friday sales. We’ve only seen two previous discounts in the new year, both down to $595, with today’s deal cutting costs by 25%, giving you $175 in savings and landing it at the second-lowest price we have tracked – $75 above the all-time low. This is a lightning deal that is selling out quick, so jump in now before the price jumps back up.

As is common with most Greenworks tools, this lawn mower sports a 40V brushless motor that allows it to last longer before needing a recharge, paired alongside two 4.0Ah batteries that can tackle an unruly lawn up to 1/2 acre on a single charge (45 minutes to 60 minutes of runtime). Built with a sturdy and durable 25-inch steel deck, speed adjustment is far more effortless thanks to its smart pace self-propelled system. It has a 7-position height-adjustment for that perfect length (because everybody has different preferences and we all like to have options), as well as a 3-in-1 design allowing you to mulch, side discharge, and rear-bag your grass clippings. Includes two batteries and charger.

Verge unveils wild-looking TS Pro electric motorcycle with hubless motor, longer range, and faster charging

Verge unveils wild-looking TS Pro electric motorcycle with hubless motor, longer range, and faster charging


Verge Motorcycles just took the wraps off the next evolution of its flagship Verge TS Pro electric motorcycle at the EICMA motorcycle show in Milan, revealing a dramatically upgraded version of its best-selling model. And we’re here to see it firsthand.

The Verge TS Pro first hit the scene in 2022 as a futuristic, hubless-wheeled electric motorcycle packed with power and sleek styling. Now, the company is doubling down with a lighter, more refined, and more powerful version of the TS Pro that improves nearly every aspect of the bike’s design and performance.

At the heart of the upgrade is Verge’s eye-catching hubless Donut Motor 2.0. The patented motor still pumps out a massive 1,000 Nm of torque, but now weighs 50% less, contributing to a total motorcycle weight of 507 lbs (230 kg). That power translates to a 0–60 mph (0-96 km/h) time of 3.5 seconds.

Alongside the motor upgrade, Verge added a new 20.2 kWh battery that delivers up to 217 miles (350 km) of range and supports ultra-fast charging, adding 60 miles (96 km) of range in just 15 minutes. Verge says full charging takes under 35 minutes, and the bike now supports CCS fast charging in Europe and NACS in the US.

Verge also introduced a series of rider-focused upgrades. The TS Pro now sports larger displays, an improved user interface, and better Bluetooth connectivity through its Verge HMI system. The riding posture has been made more ergonomic with a 25-degree angle adjustment, while suspension and damping tweaks promise a smoother ride.

Software takes center stage with the inclusion of Verge’s Starmatter platform, first launched in 2023. Starmatter combines AI, sensors, and OTA updates to tailor each ride and future-proof the bike for new features, no wrenching required.

The updated Verge TS Pro is available for reservation now via Verge’s website and US showrooms, with test rides starting in early 2026. Pricing information to be updated soon.

Electrek’s Take

Verge’s first hubless electric motorcycle took the internet by storm and launched a new style of design. Now the company is showing that its playbook of electric motorcycle innovation is still alive and well. Between the hubless motor tech, blazing-fast charging, and tech-forward design, the TS Pro feels both futuristic and realistic. Sure, it’s still limited in highway range like all electric motorcycles, but for mixed riding, that 20+ kWh pack is going to help alleviate range anxiety – and is twice as large as the pack in my LiveWire, for example.

This is one I’ll definitely be keeping an eye on.

CNBC Daily Open: AI is carrying the weight of the U.S. market

The “everything store” might have secured its biggest customer yet.

On Monday, Amazon announced that it had signed a $38 billion deal with OpenAI, offering the ChatGPT maker access to Amazon Web Services’ infrastructure.

On the one hand, the move isn’t too surprising — a continuation of OpenAI’s spending spree as it looks to secure resources to run its power-hungry artificial intelligence models.

On the other, OpenAI’s turn to Amazon shows that the firm is diversifying from its reliance on Microsoft, which had been its exclusive cloud services provider until this year. That could suggest OpenAI is getting ready for an initial public offering as it looks to signal “both independence and operational maturity,” as CNBC’s MacKenzie Sigalos writes.

Amazon shares surged on the news to close at a record high. Nvidia also had a positive day after Microsoft announced it was granted a license by the U.S. government to export the AI darling’s chips to the United Arab Emirates.

While Big Tech is attracting investor interest, the rest of the market has been rather lackluster.

Even as the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite rose on the back of the tech behemoths, more than 300 stocks in the broad-based index ended the day lower — a warning sign that only a narrow segment of the market is faring well.

Cash-strapped governments are increasingly eyeing citizens’ retirement pots — and experts are sounding the alarm

As fiscal pressures deepen from aging populations and pandemic-era debt, governments are increasingly tapping into a tempting source of capital: citizens’ retirement savings.

The trouble starts when governments interfere and tell funds to invest too much at home, which breaks the delicate balance that fund managers have calculated between risk and reward, said Sébastien Betermier, executive director at the International Centre for Pension Management.

BP beats third-quarter profit expectations on higher oil and gas production

British oil giant BP on Tuesday reported stronger-than-expected third-quarter profit as higher crude and gas production outweighed a weak oil trading result.

The London-listed oil and gas major posted underlying replacement cost profit, used as a proxy for net profit, of $2.21 billion for July-September period. That beat analyst expectations of $2.03 billion, according to an LSEG-compiled consensus.

BP’s third-quarter net profit came in at $2.3 billion last year and $2.35 billion in the second quarter of 2025.

“We’ve delivered another quarter of good performance across the business with operations continuing to run well,” BP CEO Murray Auchincloss said in a statement.

“We are looking to accelerate delivery of our plans, including undertaking a thorough review of our portfolio to drive simplification and targeting further improvements in cost performance and efficiency,” Auchincloss said.

The oil major’s third-quarter net debt came in at $26.05 billion, broadly flat from the previous quarter, although up from $24.27 billion a year earlier.

London-listed shares of BP rose 0.5% on Tuesday morning.

Some other third-quarter highlights included:

  • Operating cash flow came in at $7.8 billion, up from $6.3 billion three months ago.
  • BP said it expects divestment and other proceeds to be above $4 billion in 2025.

BP also announced another $750 million in share buybacks over the next three months, maintaining the pace of its shareholder returns, albeit at a reduced level from earlier in the year.

The results come just over eight months after the company launched a fundamental strategic reset.

BP, which has been the subject of intense takeover speculation, is looking to regain investor confidence by slashing renewable spending and prioritizing its traditional oil and gas business.

Investors appear to have broadly welcomed the oil and gas major’s green strategy U-turn, with share prices up more than 13% year-to-date. The improving sentiment has also been attributed to the firm’s leadership shake-up, progress on its cost-cutting program and a string of recent oil discoveries.

BP on Monday announced it had agreed to sell minority stakes in some of its U.S. onshore pipeline assets in the Permian and Eagle Ford basins to private investor Sixth Street for $1.5 billion. BP has previously said it is targeting $20 billion in divestments by the end of 2027.

Last week, British rival Shell reported stronger-than-expected third-quarter profit, citing robust operational performance and higher trading contributions.
