Rad Power Memorial Day sale takes up to $600 off e-bikes and offers free extra batteries – starting from $999
Rad Power Bikes has launched its Memorial Day sale through May 29 that is taking up to $600 off three of its e-bikes, while also giving you a free extra battery for two of the models. Leading the sale is the RadRover 6 Plus High-Step Fat-Tire e-bike for $999 shipped. Usually going for $1,599 since the company lowered prices across its lineup of models, this e-bike has seen three previous flash sales since the new year began, with the most recent one in April dropping costs to $1,099. Today’s deal comes in as a new all-time low, amounting to a $600 markdown off the going rate. You can learn more about this model by heading below the fold or checking out our hands-on review.
Nicknamed Rad Power’s “beast of a bike,” the RadRover 6 Plus reaches a 20 MPH top speed for up to 45 miles on a single charge thanks to its 750W brushless geared hub motor working in tandem with the semi-integrated 672Wh battery. Sporting a 12-magnet cadence sensor, this e-bike has five levels of pedal assistance to choose from, accessible through the full digital display that also gives you real-time performance data like battery levels or a wattage meter to keep track of the motor’s output. Should you take the roads less traveled (often off the paved paths), this model is ready and willing with its water-resistant connectors and wiring harness, as well as a pair of 26-inch by 4-inch puncture-resistant fat tires with fenders over each.
Next is the RadExpand 5 Folding e-bike for $1,249 shipped, plus the free extra battery (just be sure to add both items to your cart so the discount can be automatically applied). It has the same combination motor and battery to reach a 20 MPH speed for 45+ miles on a single charge, which can vary depending on your travelling conditions, but is also doubled with your extra battery. This model only comes with four levels of low-profile cadence sensing pedal assistance, along with features like 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. As the name suggests, its folding frame makes space saving far easier when not in use.
Then there is the RadRunner Plus Utility e-bike for $1,599 shipped, down from $1,799 and coming with the same free extra battery deal. Equipped with the same 750W motor and 672Wh battery, it can match the RadExpand 5’s speed and mileage (doubled with the extra battery too). Its five levels of normal pedal assistance are joined by a bonus zero level for manual pedaling (if you want to get in some cardio). Its taillights have the added ability to go into flash mode for more obvious illumination at night or when parking, an integrated cargo rack that can double as passenger seating, and it has an included 7-speed Shimano derailleur for when you go manual.
Hover-1 Instinct Electric Bikes start from $715
Amazon is offering the Hover-1 Instinct Electric Bike for $763.59 shipped in black, after clipping the on-page 15% off coupon. Already down from its usual $1,000 price tag, this particular model hasn’t seen quite as many discounts like its multi-color counterpart, having spent much of 2024 so far hovering near or around its MSRP after starting the year off by riding in on its $596 low from leftover Christmas sales. Today you can grab this model for one of the lowest prices we’ve seen as a combined $236 markdown, making it a much more affordable commuting option for those on a budget. The blue model is still sitting at its MSRP, while the multi-color model can be found for $715 currently.
The Hover-1 Instinct sports a smaller 350W brushless motor than we usually see with a lot of e-bikes these days, but with its removable 36V battery you’re still getting one hell of an affordable commuting option with 40 miles of travel range on a single charge, albeit with only a 15 MPH top speed. With each ride, you can choose between using the throttle for pure electric action (though this will decrease mileage) or one of its three pedal assistance levels – and if you want to get some low-stress exercise, the lower levels provide only a little extra power as opposed to its highest level setting. It also features 26-inch pneumatic tires, front and rear disc brakes, and an LCD digital display that gives real-time readouts for speed, battery level, mileage, pedal assist level, ride time, and more.
Greenworks 48V mower, 24V blower, and 24V trimmer combo falls to $488
Amazon is offering the Greenworks 48V 21-inch Cordless Self-Propelled Lawn Mower, 24V 320 CFM Leaf Blower, and a 24V 12-inch String Trimmer with two 5.0Ah batteries for $487.99 shipped. Down from its $610 price tag, this is a smaller voltage combo than we’ve seen more regularly discounted in the new year, having only had two major discounts since 2024 began, first to $488, then to the $487 low last month. Today’s deal repeats its first discount from February as a 20% markdown that drops costs to the second-lowest price we have tracked – only $1 above the all-time low.
The lawn mower sports 48V of power with its brushless motor and two 5.0Ah batteries (which are also compatible for the other tools in the combo as well), giving you around an hour of runtime on a single charge – though this timeframe may vary depending on terrain conditions and operator techniques. It has the usual seven-position height adjustment as well as the 3-in-1 functionality to mulch, rear bag, or side discharge clippings. The leaf blower offers 320 CFM at 90 MPH for up to 20 minutes on a single battery’s charge, while the string trimmer provides a 12-inch cutting path with an auto-feed system to replace broken lines as you go for less stop-start distractions.

Iconic British brand Moke International is officially landing in California, bringing a splash of retro style and electric fun to the West Coast with the launch of its California Collection. The medium-speed, open-air electric vehicles – reminiscent of classic beach buggies – are now street-legal in the state, with reservation deposits now open.
It’s a move that’s been years in the making, and we’re finally ready to see these fun-looking rides roll out on US streets thanks to a retail partnership with Shaver Automotive.
The California Collection marks the first time MOKE’s EVs are being sold in the US as fully compliant, street-legal vehicles, following a multi-year process to obtain certification under California’s tough emissions and safety regulations. The vehicles have now gone beyond the 25 MPH limitations of Low Speed Vehicles, doubling that figure to offer rides at up to 50 MPH (80 km/h).
The collection also includes three new colorways inspired by the nostalgic hues of the Golden State: ‘Sonoma Red’, ‘Laguna Blue’ and ‘Venice White.’
As the company explained, “This foray into the state follows MOKE’s groundbreaking achievement as the first low-volume EV manufacturer to secure California Air Resources Board (CARB) approval. With unmatched quality, all genuine MOKEs are handcrafted in the UK, with over 70% of parts sourced from Europe. A limited quantity of 325 MOKEs will be available to purchase throughout the US in 2026.”
Originally based on a British military vehicle from the 1960s, the Moke evolved into a cult-favorite beach car beloved in tropical destinations from the Caribbean to the French Riviera.
Now, it’s gone all-electric, with a 54-mile (87 km) range and a top speed of 50 mph (80 km/h) from a 33 kW motor that prioritizes fun over freeway.
“Launching in California feels like a true homecoming for us at MOKE,” said Lorne Vary, CEO of MOKE International. “California’s love of sunshine, freedom, and outdoor adventure reflects everything our brand stands for. Partnering with Shaver Automotive means we can finally share that feeling with Californians who have been waiting for their MOKE moment.”
The Electric MOKE is available for order now in California, via Shaver Automotive, with prices starting from $49,500. That puts it well into premium territory, meaning it likely won’t replace the family car, but could be a fun plaything to park at your beach house… for those who own a beach house.
While the MOKE won’t be replacing your daily commuter or long-range EV, it could be the perfect picturesque ride along a coastal road, in a resort rental fleet, or for anyone who values open-air, zero-emission fun over raw performance.
Electrek’s Take
We’ve seen a number of street-legal Low Speed Vehicles (LSVs) make their way into beach towns and gated communities in recent years, but few bring the retro flair and lifestyle appeal of the MOKE. And by going the low-volume manufacturer route, they get to offer speeds of twice that allowed by LSVs without needing to meet as many of the complicated Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (for better or for worse).
At nearly $50k, it’s a luxury toy, sure. But for the right buyer, it looks like an awesome time on four wheels. California might just be the perfect place for this beach cruiser comeback.
Oh, and I’d be remiss if I didn’t share the image below of Electrek’s founder Seth Weintraub from his youth when he used to ride old school Mokes around Macau, and with a left-hand manual 4-speed gearbox, no less!

bp pulse is continuing to roll out public DC fast charging across the US, and the company has opened its first-ever site in Arizona, along with new fast-charging locations in Texas, Florida, and Ohio.
In Arizona, bp pulse’s first site is now online at the Petro Travel Center in Eloy, just off Interstate 10 at Exit 200 (pictured). The location features 16 charging bays delivering up to 400 kilowatts, with both CCS and NACS connectors available. While charging, drivers can take advantage of the travel center’s onsite diner, convenience store, ATM, barber shop, and restrooms.
In South Florida, bp pulse’s new fast-charging site is at 2400 Miami Road in Fort Lauderdale, about three miles from Fort Lauderdale–Hollywood International Airport. The site features 16 charging bays, offering a mix of 150 kW and 400 kW speeds, with both CCS and NACS connectors. Its proximity to the airport makes it a handy stop for ride-hail drivers, EV rental returns, and airport pickups and drop-offs, with hotels, restaurants, and convenience stores nearby.
Texas is also getting more high-power charging, with a new bp pulse site at the Petro Travel Center in El Paso, located off Interstate 10 at Exit 37. This location offers 12 charging bays capable of delivering up to 400 kW, again with both CCS and NACS connectors. Drivers can take advantage of the diner, convenience store, barber shop, and restrooms while they charge.
In Ohio, bp pulse has opened a smaller but still high-powered site at a TravelCenters of America location in Hebron, just off Interstate 70 at Exit 126. The site includes six 400 kW charging bays with CCS and NACS connectors, along with access to a convenience store, fast-food options, and restrooms.
These openings are part of bp pulse’s broader plan to build out EV charging across bp’s retail footprint, including bp, Amoco, ampm, Thorntons, and TravelCenters of America locations. Many of those sites are designed to combine fast charging with food, restrooms, and other travel amenities. bp has also said it plans to begin adding EV chargers at Waffle House locations starting in 2026.
