Heybike summer sale takes $500 off e-bikes with free accessories and bundle options, starting from $999

Heybike has a summer sale that is now in full swing, taking up to $500 off e-bikes, with bundle deals available as well as free accessories that are included along with your purchase, depending on the model. While the brand’s popular Ranger Foldable Cargo e-bike is sold out, the next biggest discount is on the Mars 2.0 Folding e-bike for $999 shipped. Normally fetching $1,499 outside of these sales, this upgraded model has seen significantly fewer and smaller discounts than its predeccessor. It’s been included in Best Buy’s 24-hour flash sales a few times so far in 2024, usually to this price or $100 higher, though the biggest we’ve seen this year is a drop to $899 back during Valentine’s Day sales. Today’s deal is a 33% markdown that saves you $500 and returns it to the second-lowest price we have tracked – just $100 above the all-time low from February.

The Mars 2.0 e-bike comes in four colors (pumpkin orange, dusty blue, granite grey, and leather black) and equipped with a 750W (1,200W peak) rear hub motor alongside a removable 48V battery that can carry the bike up to 28 MPH for up to 45 miles on a single charge. There is an option to upgrade the motor to a 1,000W model (with 1,800W peak) for $200 more that bumps the max speed up to 32 MPH alongside improved performance on inclines, an increased load capacity, faster acceleration, and more.

You can customize your riding experience through its five levels of pedal assist modes or switch over to the 7-speed gears while the 4-inch wide fat tires ensure effortless handling when you go off the beaten path – “offering superior traction, stability, and a smoother ride compared to conventional bikes.” The bike’s frame can easily be folded up in seconds for quick storage or transport and also features hydraulic disc brakes (1,000W motor model has more advanced versions), a rear cargo rack, head and taillights with braking functionality, a shock-absorbing seat, as well as a smart LCD display that gives you real-time performance statuses and allows for setting adjustments. As part of Heybike’s summer sale, this e-bike also comes with a free front basket and a free rear cargo basket.

EGO Power+ 56V 42-inch Z6 zero-turn riding mower within post for Heybike summer sale

Amazon is offering the EGO POWER+ 56V 42-inch Z6 Zero Turn Riding Mower with four 10.0Ah batteries and an extra two 5.0Ah batteries for $4,999 shipped. Usually fetching $4,999, this is the lowest price drop that we have tracked for this bundle, with only three previous discounts to speak of – the first two dropping costs to $5,499, while last month we saw it hit the $4,999 low for the first time. You can find other third-party sellers offering this mower with its regular four batteries alone at the same discounted rate, meaning this bundle from Amazon is giving you two extra 5.0Ah batteries for no added cost. There’s also a similar bundle on the mower with four 12.0Ah batteries and an e-steer wheel at $5,499, down from $6,597.

This riding mower from EGO Power+ is powered by the four 10.0Ah batteries in order to cover up to 2 acres of land on one continuous run (extended a bit more with the two extra batteries). Its 42-inch weather-resistant steel cutting deck houses four independent brushless motors, which total up to rival a 22-horsepower engine, moving it at a max speed of 8 MPH. There are 10 cutting heights to choose from, ranging from 1.5 inches and 4.5 inches, with three different driving modes and a 3-in-1 functionality for mulching, bagging, and/or side discharging. It also sports some premium features like the 32 LED lights laid out on its front, sides, and rear for those early morning or late evening jobs – and even Bluetooth connectivity and a USB charging port for devices.

More EGO Power+ discounts:

EAST OAK 30-inch Digital electric smoker within post for Heybike summer sale

EAST OAK’S 30-inch Digital Electric Smoker hits $255 low

Amazon is offering the EAST OAK 30-inch Digital Electric Smoker for $254.99 shipped. Normally going for $300, this appliance has seen five previous discounts since the new year began, with the first four dropping to the same $270 rate once per month from January through April, and the most recent taking things further to the $255 low in May for the first time since September of 2023, which is repeated here in today’s deal.

Sporting a compact, vertical design with four racks to place your meat and veggies, this electric smoker utilizes 800W of power and wood chips for that smoky flavor you love with reduced emissions lower than that of charcoal. Standing 18.97 inches by 17.56 inches by 32.44 inches, with 725 square-feet of cooking space, its door has a glass section allowing you to directly see your food at its various stages of cooking, with a meat probe for monitoring the food’s internal temperatures. It features a digital control panel that gives you real-time readouts of temperatures and times, along with a remote for controlling its settings when not directly in front of it. Its side-loading wood chip loader can hold enough to continue cooking for 2 to 3 hours without needing to be refilled, maintaining a temperature range between 100 degrees and 275 degrees Fahrenheit for that low and slow cooking that yields the most tender of BBQ. Also comes with a water bowl and a drip pan.

You’ll find a smaller and cheaper option in the EAST OAK 30-inch Black model from the same line as the above model, currently available for $200, down from $230. This model sports the same general design as the above smoker, with one major and instantly obvious difference: there is no window to view inside while its in use, so you will have to either trust whatever recipe you’re going by, or be ok with occasionally opening it up and losing heat/smoke.

Summer e-bike deals!

Double your chances in Climate XChange's 10th Annual EV Raffle!

Climate XChange Annual EV Raffle

Climate XChange’s Annual EV Raffle is back for the 10th year running – and for the first time ever, Climate XChange has two raffle options on the table! The nonprofit has helped lucky winners custom-order their ideal EVs for the past decade. Now you have the chance to kick off your holiday season with a brand new EV for as little as $100.

About half of the raffle tickets have been sold so far for each of the raffles – you can see the live ticket count on Climate XChange’s homepage – so your odds of winning are better than ever.

But don’t wait – raffle ticket sales end on December 8!

Climate XChange is working hard to help states transition to a zero-emissions economy. Every ticket you buy supports this mission while giving you a chance to drive home your dream EV.

Here’s how Climate XChange’s 10th Annual Raffle works:

The Luxury Raffle

  • Grand Prize: The winner can choose any EV on the market, fully customized up to $120,000. This year, you can split the prize between two EVs if the total is $120,000 or less.
  • Taxes covered: This raffle comes with no strings – Climate XChange also pays all of the taxes.
  • Runner-up prizes: Even if you don’t win the Grand Prize, you still have a chance at the 2nd prize of $12,500 and the 3rd prize of $7,500.
  • Ticket price: $250.
  • Grand Prize Drawing: December 12, 2025.
  • Only 5,000 tickets will be sold for the Luxury Raffle.

The Mini Raffle (New for 2025)

  • Grand Prize: Choose any EV on the market, fully customized, up to $45,000. This is the perfect raffle if you’re ready to make the switch to an EV but aren’t in the market for a luxury model.
  • Taxes covered: Climate XChange pays all the taxes on the Mini Raffle, too.
  • Ticket price: $100.
  • Only 3,500 tickets will be sold for the Mini Raffle.

Why it’s worth entering

For a decade, Climate XChange has run a raffle that’s fair, transparent, and exciting. Every ticket stub is printed, and the entire drawing is live-streamed, including the loading of the raffle drum. Independent auditors also oversee the process.

Plus, your odds on the Luxury and Mini Raffles are far better than most car raffles, and they’re even better if you enter both.

Remember that only 5,000 tickets will be sold for the Luxury Raffle and only 3,500 for the Mini Raffle, and around half of the available tickets have been sold so far, so don’t miss your shot at your dream EV!

Climate XChange personally works with the winners to help them build and order their dream EVs. The winner of the Ninth Annual EV Raffle built a gorgeous storm blue Rivian R1T.

How to enter

Go to CarbonRaffle.org/Electrek before December 8 to buy your ticket. Start dreaming up your perfect EV – and know that no matter what, you’re helping accelerate the shift to clean energy.

Who is Climate XChange?

Climate XChange (CXC) is a nonpartisan nonprofit working to help states pass effective, equitable climate policies because they’re critical in accelerating the transition to a zero-emissions economy. CXC advances state climate policy through its State Climate Policy Network (SCPN) – a community of more than 15,000 advocates and policymakers – and its State Climate Policy Dashboard, a leading data platform for tracking climate action across the US.

This fun-vibes Honda Cub lookalike electric scooter is now almost half off

This fun-vibes Honda Cub lookalike electric scooter is now almost half off

csc monterey electric scooter

The CSC Monterey – one of the most charming little electric scooters on the US market – has dropped to a shockingly low $1,699, down from its original $2,899 MSRP. That’s nearly half off for a full-size, street-legal electric scooter that channels major Honda Super Cub energy, but without the gas, noise, or maintenance of the original.

CSC Motorcycles, based in Azusa, California, has a long history of importing and supporting small-format electric and gas bikes, but the Monterey has always stood out as the brand’s “fun vibes first” model. With its step-through frame, big retro headlight, slim bodywork, and upright seating position, it looks like something from a 1960s postcard – just brought into the modern era with lithium batteries and a brushless hub motor.

I had my first experience on one of these scooters back in 2021, when I reviewed the then-new model here on Electrek. I instantly fell in love with it and even got one for my dad. It now lives at his place and I think he gets just as much joy from looking at it in his garage as riding it.

You can see my review video below.

The performance is solidly moped-class, which is exactly what it’s designed for. A 2,400W rear hub motor pushes the Monterey up to a claimed 30 mph or 48 km/h (I found it really topped out at closer to 32 mph or 51 km/h), making it perfect for city streets, beach towns, and lower-speed suburban routes.

A 60V, roughly 1.6 kWh removable battery offers around 30–40 miles (48-64 km) of real-world range, depending on how aggressively you twist the throttle. It’s commuter-ready, grocery-run-ready, and campus-ready right out of the crate.

It’s also remarkably approachable. At around 181 pounds (82 kg), the Monterey is light for a sit-down scooter, making it easy to maneuver and park. There’s a small storage cubby, LED lighting, and the usual simple twist-and-go operation. And it comes with full support from CSC, a company that keeps a massive warehouse stocked with components and spare parts.

My sister has a CSC SG250 (I’m still trying to convert her to electric) and has gotten great support from them in the past, including from their mechanics walking her through carburetor questions over the phone. So I know from personal experience that CSC is a great company that stands behind its bikes.

But the real story here is the price. Scooters in this class typically hover between $2,500 and $4,500, and electric retro-style models often jump well above that.

At $1,699, the Monterey is one of the least expensive street-legal electric scooters available from a reputable US distributor, especially one that actually stocks parts and provides phone support.

If you’ve been curious about swapping a few car errands for something electric – or you just want a fun, vintage-styled runabout for getting around town – this is one of the best deals of the year.
