Rad Power adds two more e-bikes to Memorial Day sale
Rad Power’s Memorial Day sale is in full swing through May 29, and your options are now increasing as the company has added two e-bike models to the ongoing deals. The first of these new additions is the classic and popular RadWagon 4 Cargo e-bike for $1,599 shipped, and also includes a free extra battery along with your purchase – just add both items to your cart and the discount will be applied automatically. Down from $1,799, we’ve seen this e-bike fall to lower rates only twice in the past – once over the last summer when it dropped to $1,399 and way back during its pre-order launch sale when we saw it dropped to $1,299 (and has never returned to since). This is the third-lowest price overall and the second-lowest price we’ve seen since it was released, matching Black Friday rates, but with the added bonus of a free extra battery – valued at $500 – giving you $700 in total savings. Learn more below or by reading our hands-on review.
With the RadWagon 4 you’ll be getting a cargo-hauling e-bike that is as reliable as it is resilient, carrying you at top speeds of 20 MPH for a range of up to 45+ miles (which is doubled with the extra battery). Sporting a 750W motor paired alongside a 672Wh battery, it comes with a half-twist throttle for pure electric action, as well as five levels of pedal assistance (which won’t drain your battery as fast). Other notable features include custom 22-inch by 3-inch tires, fenders for both tires, a water-resistant wiring harness, a 200-lumen headlight, an integrated taillight with brake light functionality, an integrated rear storage rack, and a backlit LCD display for real-time performance data and settings control – plus it even has a USB port to charge your devices while riding.
Rad Powers has also added the step-thru version of the RadRover 6 Plus Fat-Tire e-bike as well, coming in $100 above its high-step counterpart at $1,199 shipped, down from $1,599, and lacking the free extra battery deal. Nicknamed Rad Power’s “beast of a bike,” it sports the same motor size, battery, and five levels of pedal assistance as the above model, hitting the same speed at its normal mileage as well. And it can certainly handle going off the paved roads thanks to 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.
And be sure to check out our earlier coverage of this same sale for the other e-bike models that are included. And as a reminder, the free battery discount will be automatically applied when both your preferred e-bike model and the battery are added to your cart – no coupons or promo codes needed. While you still have time to make your decisions, the deadline of May 29 is fast approaching, with Summer’s official arrival not far behind – do you want to walk into the new season, or cruise on through it in style and comfort?

Segway Ninebot GoKart Pro falls to $1,600 with rare discount
While Amazon’s early Memorial Day sales are still going strong, we’ve been surprised to see few EVs having any major discounts. Today, however, that surprise is turned back the other way as Amazon is now offering a rare deal on the Segway Ninebot GoKart Pro for $1,599.99 shipped. Normally fetching $2,300, even through most sales events, we’ve seen the price keep above $1,800 since the start of 2024, with only the occasional discounts to chip away at its MSRP. Today’s deal comes in as one of the largest across its EV lineup, ultimately bagging you $700 in savings and dropping it to the second-lowest price overall – while also being the current 2024 low, as well.
Sporting an adjustable frame length and steering wheel height, the Ninebot GoKart Pro is geared up for riders from 4-foot 5 inches to 6-foot 3 inches tall and weighing up to 220 pounds. You’ll be zipping around the streets and tracks alike at up to 23 MPH with a 15.5-mile range on a single charge. You can even drift like a pro with its engine located on its backside, its rear-wheel-drive, and its rear TPE tires working alongside its Drift Assist system (activated through the companion app) that lets you pre-program your drifting preferences based on your own style and your riding site conditions. There’s even a bonus EV you can take advantage of by detaching the included Ninebot S Max self-balancing scooter that powers the whole thing. Head below for more.
The savings this week are also continuing to a collection of other markdowns. To the same tune as the offers above, these all help you take a more energy-conscious approach to your routine. 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.
China just laid out a plan to roll out over 100,000 ultra-fast EV charging stations by 2027 – and they’ll all be open to the public.
The National Development and Reform Commission’s (NDRC) joint notice, issued on Monday, asks local authorities to put together construction plans for highway service areas and prioritize the ones that see 40% or more usage during holiday travel rushes.
The NDRC notes that China’s ultra-fast EV charging infrastructure needs upgrading as more 800V EVs hit the road. Those high-voltage platforms can handle super-fast charging in as little as 10 to 30 minutes, but only if the charging hardware is up to speed.
China had 31.4 million EVs on the road at the end of 2024 – nearly 9% of the country’s total vehicle fleet. But charging access is still catching up. As of May 2025, there were 14.4 million charging points, or roughly 1 for every 2.2 EVs.

To keep the grid running smoothly, China wants new chargers to be smart, with dynamic pricing to incentivize off-peak charging and solar and storage to power the charging stations.
To make the business side work, the government is pushing for 10-year leases for charging station operators, and it’s backing the buildout with local government bonds.
The NDRC emphasized that the DC fast chargers built will be open to the public. This is a big deal because a lot of fast chargers in China aren’t. For example, BYD’s new megawatt chargers aren’t open to third-party vehicles.
As of September 2024, China had expanded its charging infrastructure to 11.4 million EV chargers, but only 3.3 million were public.

Federal prosecutors have charged two men in connection with a sprawling cryptocurrency investment scheme that defrauded victims out of more than $650 million.
The indictment, unsealed in the District of Puerto Rico, accuses Michael Shannon Sims, 48, of Georgia and Florida, and Juan Carlos Reynoso, 57, of New Jersey and Florida, of operating and promoting OmegaPro, an international crypto multi-level marketing scheme that promised investors 300% returns over 16 months through foreign exchange trading.
“This case exposes the ruthless reality of modern financial crime,” said the Internal Revenue Service’s Chief of Criminal Investigations Guy Ficco. “OmegaPro promised financial freedom but delivered financial ruin.”
From 2019 to 2023, Sims, Reynoso and their co-conspirators allegedly lured thousands of victims worldwide to purchase “investment packages” using cryptocurrency, falsely claiming the funds would be safely managed by elite forex traders, the Department of Justice said.
Prosecutors said the pair flaunted their wealth through social media and extravagant events — including projecting the OmegaPro logo onto the Burj Khalifa, Dubai’s tallest building — to convince investors the operation was legitimate.
A video posted to the company’s LinkedIn page shows guests in evening attire posing for photos and watching the spectacle in Dubai.

In reality, authorities allege, OmegaPro was a pyramid-style fraud.
When the company later claimed it had suffered a hack, the defendants told victims they had transferred their funds to a new platform called Broker Group, the DOJ said. Users were never able to withdraw their money from either platform.
The two men face charges of conspiracy to commit wire fraud and conspiracy to commit money laundering, each carrying a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison.
The Justice Department, FBI, IRS-Criminal Investigation, and Homeland Security Investigations led the multiagency investigation, with help from international partners.
