Rad Power’s latest flash sale takes up to $400 off four e-bikes

Rad Power Bikes has launched its latest flash sale through June 11 that is taking up to $400 off four of the brand’s popular e-bike models, with the biggest discount going to the RadRover 6 Plus High-Step e-bike for $1,199 shipped. Down from its newer $1,599 price tag since the company lowered prices across its lineup of models, this e-bike has so far been the focus of two flash sales and one holiday sale since 2024 began, with the two former sales dropping costs to $1,199 and a further drop to the $1,099 low during Memorial Day sales (if you don’t count the pricing error that had it at $999 for the first day). Coming in as a 25% markdown off the new going rate, today’s deal ultimately returns it back to the second-lowest price we have tracked – just $100 above the all-time low. Learn more about what to expect when this e-bike arrives by reading through our hands-on review over.

Carrying the mantle of Rad Power’s “beast of a bike,” the RadRover 6 Plus hits 20 MPH top speeds 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. Equipped with 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 journey off the beaten paths, this model is prepared for the adventure 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.

MOD BIKES Berlin 2 Commuter e-bike within post for Rad Power flash sale

Save up to $1,000 during MOD BIKES summer sale throughout the entire month of June

MOD BIKES has just launched its summer sale through the entire month of June that is taking up to $1,000 off a selection of its popular e-bike lineup, including the new 2024 pre-order models. One of the two models receiving the biggest discounts, and also one of the brand’s most popular, is the Berlin 2 Commuter e-bike for $1,499 shipped. Regularly fetching $2,499, this is 40% markdown is the largest we have seen on this particular e-bike at a whopping $1,000 off. It’s a great opportunity to grab a quality commuter e-bike with a solid travel range at its all-time lowest and most affordable price.

The Berlin 2 e-bike comes sporting a more industrial-tailored look than many of the other e-bikes we’ve seen elsewhere over the years, with a near-monochrome color scheme that somehow both accentuates its stark differences from other e-bike designs while also giving it a conspicuously smooth minimalist feel. It arrives with a 350W (650W peak) brushless Shengyi mid-drive motor paired alongside a 614Wh MOD Samsung Powerpack battery, with five levels of pedal assistance that is supported via its torque sensor. Its a surprisingly powerful setup that can max out at 28 MPH for up to 60 miles on a single 3 to 6 hour charge.

It also comes jam-packed with plenty of handy features that only elevate its already unique design, like hydraulic brakes, multiple snap-on accessory brackets across its frame, a rear cargo rack with a 55-pound payload, a 7-speed drivetrain, a Selle Royal premium gel saddle, a foldable bike lock that seamlessly snaps onto the frame, an LED headlight, a taillight with brake functionality, an integrated bell, fenders for both tires, and a smart display with a USB charging port for devices that also gives you total control over its performance – plus password protection for locking and unlocking it for added peace of mind.

Enwin Utilities adds $1 million Terex electric bucket truck to fleet [video]

Enwin Utilities adds $1 million Terex electric bucket truck to fleet [video]

Enwin Utilities adds electric bucket truck, vans and pickups to its fleet

The Windsor, Ontario utility says it’s driving towards a more sustainable future after adding a dozen new electric vehicles to its fleet – including a state-of-the-art, 55-foot Terex electric bucket truck.

Based on a Class 7 (33,000 lb. GVWR) International eMV Series BEV, the Terex EV takes the eMV’s 291 kWh battery and adds the Terex Optima 55-foot aerial device and HyPower SmartPTO system to create a fully electrified utility service vehicle that can do anything its diesel counterparts can do while offering better, safer working conditions for utility crews.

“We’ve got 12 EVs,” said Gary Rossi, president and CEO, Enwin Utilities. That number represents fully 10% of the utility’s entire vehicle fleet. “Our centerpiece is our electric 55-feet bucket truck. It’s very quiet,” continues Rossi. “So (the truck) allows us, our crews, to communicate better. It’s not as loud in the community when they’re doing repairs in someone’s backyard.”

That notion is echoed by Terex, itself. The company says its HyPower SmartPTO (power take off), which replaces a mechanical PTO, avoids a loud idling engine while reducing workers’ exposure to toxic exhaust fumes.

The utility company says the new electric bucket truck cost it almost $1 million Canadian – but while that might sound like a lot, Rossi says the price is similar to what a similarly-optioned ICE version of the bucket truck would cost.

“It’s all about building Windsor’s future and literally plugging into the battery factory down the road that is being constructed and showing that Windsor is a leader on this front,” says Drew Dilkens, Mayor of Windsor. “I don’t own an internal combustion engine vehicle,” adds Mayor Wilkins. “I only own two electric cars. My wife and I, we made the change starting in 2019 and I can’t see myself ever going back.”

Enwin says its commitment to clean energy extends beyond its vehicle fleet. The company recently unveiled a massive MW solar rooftop net metering facility at its Rhodes Drive headquarters with over 3,000 solar panels. The site, one of Canada’s largest solar installations, generates enough clean electricity to power 300 homes annually.

Damen sets a world record for most powerful electric tugboat

Damen sets a world record for most powerful electric tugboat

Built by Damen Shipyards and the first fully electric tugboat to be deployed in the Middle East, the new RSD-E Tug 2513 Bu Tinah put in its record-breaking performance took place at Khalifa Port during ADIPEC, the world’s largest energy conference.

The RSD-E Tug 2513 is based on the already efficient hull design of the standard, diesel-powered RSD Tug 2513, but its new, fully electric propulsion arrangement enables it to offer zero emissions operations in situations where oil or fuel leakage would be – let’s say especially bad.

But, while the “clean” aspect of all-electric operation is obvious, its Guinness World Record of performance shows that the Damen RSD-E Tug 2513 is up to whatever task its owners put to it.

“This Guinness World Record achievement demonstrates that the transition to alternative energy does not come at the cost of performance,” explains Maritime & Shipping Cluster, AD Ports Group, Captain Ammar Mubarak Al Shaiba. “We are very proud that the first electric tug in the Middle East is also making waves on a global level with this accolade and the fact that in parallel it is improving the sustainability of our operations alongside cost efficiencies in terms of overall fuel saving is extremely important. This vessel is now a key component of our Marine Services fleet and our electrification strategy.”

To earn its record, the the Damen RSD-E Tug 2513 Bu Tinah recorded an average high peak bollard pull of 78.2 tonnes (about 86 ‘Murican tons). The record-setting tugboat can undertake a minimum of two towage operation on a single charge, and can be recharged on a marine DC fast charger in just two hours.

Electrek’s Take

We’ve come a long way since 2021, when a 6MW electric tugboat was pulling about 50 tonnes of bollard weight. A nearly 50% jump in performance without a similar weight or mass gain is a sign of advancing technology – and we are here for it.

Trump picks Liberty Energy CEO and Oklo board member Chris Wright as Energy secretary

President-elect Donald Trump on Saturday selected Liberty Energy CEO Chris Wright to serve as the next energy secretary of the United States.

Liberty Energy is an oilfield services company headquartered in Denver with a $2.7 billion market capitalization. The company’s stock gained nearly 9% on Nov. 6 after Trump won the U.S. presidential election, but its shares have since pulled back.

Wright serves on the board of Oklo, a nuclear power startup backed by OpenAI CEO Sam Altman that is developing micro reactors.

Wright will also serve on Trump’s Council of National Energy, the president-elect said Saturday. The council will be led by Trump’s pick for Interior Secretary, North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum.

Wright has denied that climate change presents a global crisis that needs to be addressed through a transition away from fossil fuels.

“There is no climate crisis and we’re not in the midst of an energy transition either,” Wright said in a video posted on his LinkedIn page last year. “Humans and all complex life on earth is simply impossible without carbon dioxide. Hence the term carbon pollution is outrageous.”

“There is no such thing as clean energy or dirty energy,” Wright said. “All energy sources have impacts on the world both positive and negative.”

Trump described Wright as a “leading technologist and entrepreneur in the energy sector.”

“He has worked in Nuclear, Solar, Geothermal, and Oil and Gas,” the president-elect said in a statement Saturday.

“Most significantly, Chris was one of the pioneers who helped launch the American Shale Revolution that fueled American Energy Independence, and transformed the Global Energy Markets and Geopolitics,” Trump said.

Trump has vowed to increase fossil fuel production to reduce energy costs, though analysts and some oil executives have said the president has little influence on oil and natural gas output in the U.S.

The U.S. has produced more crude oil than any other country in history, including Russia and Saudi Arabia, since 2018, according to the Energy Information Administration.
