Save an exclusive $250 on ENGWE’s EP-2 PRO Electric Bike at new $599 low

It’s been an exciting week of 9to5Toys-exclusive Green Deals – and it’s not over yet! Readers can now save $250 on ENGWE’s EP-2 PRO Electric Bike at $599 shipped at Wellbots, after using the exclusive code 9TO5RIDE250 at checkout. Down from its $849 price tag, with an even higher $1,099 MSRP direct from ENGWE, we’ve mainly seen this model keep between $699 and $720 during most price cuts over the last few years, with only one previous one in 2024 that went lower to $629 in March. You can now score this e-bike for your commute or general enjoyment at a 29% markdown (45% off the MSRP) which drops it to the lowest price we have tracked to date.

Engwe’s EP-2 PRO electric bike arrives stocked with a 750W brushless motor (peaking at 960W) and a 48V 15.6Ah battery that gives you an impressive 50+ miles of travel on a single charge, beating out a lot of more expensive models both in performance and price – plus, it even boasts a maximum 28 MPH top speed too! There are five levels of pedal assistance here to balance out its energy consumption options with either more travel time or faster speeds, depending on conditions and your setting selection.

It’s been given a durable build for when your trips venture off the beaten paths, with front suspension and all-terrain fat tires. There are also some decent features here (especially at this low of a price) with hydraulic disc brakes, a 5-speed Shimano gearbox, an ergonomic saddle and grips, a rear cargo rack, fenders over both wheels, and a centered LCD Display right at your fingertips.

Bundle EcoFlow’s DELTA Pro 3,600Wh power station with a 400W panel at $3,099 and get $1,000 in free gear

Checking back in on EcoFlow’s Disaster Campaign sale, which is taking up to $2,817 off power stations, bundles, and accessories through September 22, we’ve spotted a hot deal on the brand’s DELTA Pro Portable Power Station that comes along with a 400W solar panel, a transfer switch, and an 800W alternator charger at $3,099 shipped. You’d normally run up a bill of $5,316 on this particular bundle normally, but this sale is taking 42% off its usual going rate and bringing costs down among some of the lowest we’ve seen, saving you a total of $2,217.

One of the bigger contenders on the backup power market today, the tried and true DELTA Pro power station delivers a massive 3,600Wh capacity that you can expand even more up to 25kWh when paired alongside the dedicated smart extra batteries while also adding additional power station units. It’s able to provide up to 3,600W of power output that maxes out at 7,200W when surging and comes with a plethora of versatile ports to tap into for outward charging needs: five AC ports, four USB-A ports, two USB-C ports, two DC ports, and a car port.

The station’s own battery can be plugged into a standard wall outlet to fully recharge in 1.8 hours, or you can hook up a maximum of 1,600W of solar input to recharge over 2.8 hours. All the usual remote smart controls you’ve come to expect from EcoFlow is available here, accessed through the companion app when connected by Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. The included 800W Alternator Charger also allows you to charge while you drive for refueled power on the go.

The transfer switch gives you plug and play home backup support for your home and/or RV, with the unit itself arriving pre-wired for easier installation. Should a sudden blackout occur in your area, you’ll be able to have immediate continued power for selective appliances/sections of your home. Keep in mind that it is designed for indoor use with the appropriate circuit breaker panels, which you can learn more about here.

Blix launches new Sol X Comfort e-bike with a $1,799 special and bonus gift

Running alongside its latest sale, Blix is giving folks a chance at a little savings on its new Sol X Comfort e-bike that is now at $1,799 shipped. Priced at a reasonable $1,899 normally after this special, it follows the same trend that we saw on the brand’s new Vika X Folding e-bike from a few weeks ago, which is also still live for the time being. Like that release, this one is getting a quaint $100 taken off the tag, which isn’t a whole lot, but seeing as many competitors tend to take months to years before seeing first discounts, it’s appreciated. Along with your purchase, you’ll also be gifted with a free everyday bag that is valued at $89. As always, Blix offers an additional $200 discount when buying two e-bikes together and using the code RIDETOGETHER at checkout.

The Blix Sol X e-bike cruises into the e-mobility market with a 750W rear-hub motor paired alongside a 614.4Wh, delivering a 70-mile travel range which is a vast improvement over the Sol Eclipse’s 45-mile one. There are three levels of pedal assistance here with an upgraded torque sensor for expanded support. Like its Vika X sibling, this model can also actively switch between class 2 or class 3 settings, allowing you to choose either the more battery-manageable 20 MPH speeds or ramp things up to their max 28 MPH speeds – though, like always, keep in mind these higher settings will affect your travel distance. It’s also worth noting that it does all this while boasting a 400-pound payload!

As part of the brand’s X series, it’s also been equipped with optional automatic shifting that can adjust gear settings and the motor power to better match the rider’s pedaling – of course, you also have an electronic shifter to make those calls too, enhancing the bike’s convenience even further. There are plenty more features here worth mentioning too, like the auto-adjusting backlit color display, integrated 20-lux headlight and taillight that sports braking and turn signal functionality, hydraulic disc brakes, Microshift 8-speed derailleur, the rear cargo rack, puncture-resistant tires, as well as fenders over both of them.

There are also the brand’s tried and true models that are seeing discounts in the latest sale too, which are worth considering if you’re just looking for a reliable commuter at less of a price.

ENGWE EP-2 PRO Electric Bike

Segway’s 2nd-gen Ninebot S2 smart self-balancing scooter hits new $494 Amazon low

Amazon is currently offering the Segway Ninebot S2 Smart Self-Balancing Scooter at $494 shipped. Normally this newer model would run you $550 here, with a higher $600 MSRP direct from Segway these days after tariffs brought starting costs up by $100 in June. Rarely ever seeing discounts, we did see it launch at its lowest rate ever for $450 back in January, which we haven’t seen since, but today you’re looking at the best rate we’ve tracked on Amazon, beating our previous mention and its previous low by $6, the lowest its been since its pre-order launch. You can get an in-depth look at this newer model by heading below or checking out our initial launch coverage.

Whether you’re looking for a way to get around the neighborhood or even make your smaller commutes more fun, the Ninebot S2 is here with an alternative electric form than we usually cover here. It arrives via its dual 800W (1,600W total) motors that bumps its max speed up to 11.2 MPH from previous models, while the 335Wh battery provides 21.7 miles of travel per 4.5 hours of charging, with enough torque to handle 15-degree slopes without concern. It’s been equipped with rugged 10-inch off-road tubeless pneumatic tires that offer improved stability and durability when you head off the paved streets for “superior traction on any surface.”

With its adjustable design, this model can accommodate rider heights ranging from 4-foot-three inches to six-foot-six inches, while also being able to carry up to a 220-pound payload. Two notable features of this second-generation model are the built-in Bluetooth speaker that allows you to listen to your favorite tunes, as well as the wheels and taillights that offer full customizable RGB ambient lighting to reflect your personality while also providing better visibility in low-light conditions.

Greenworks

Greenworks Pro 3,000 PSI Electric Pressure Washer returns to $290 low

After first spotting this deal a few days ago in a one-day-only sale, Amazon is offering a more long-term discount on the Greenworks Pro 3000 PSI Electric Pressure Washer for $289.99 shipped. It’s normally listed at $450 most days, with Best Buy often including it in its Deals of the Day, which is where we first saw this same discount appear just a few days ago. Now folks have a chance to score it at a 36% markdown, the biggest discount we’ve seen to date, landing it back at its all-time lowest price.

This pressure washer from Greenworks typically gets a lot of buzz when discounts hit, and its no surprise as its one of the more powerful models from the brand with its systems maxing out at 3,000 PSI with a 1.1 to 2.0 GPM flow rate. Along with its obvious capabilities that we’ve discussed here in abundance, it comes with an array of versatile nozzles to tackle a wider range of jobs, which also have their own storage space. There’s 25 feet of non-marring hose, an onboard one-gallon detergent tank, and also a Total Stop System that saves you energy and money by cutting off the pump upon you letting go of the wand’s trigger.

Goal Zero

Goal Zero’s 500 Lumen Torch light doubles as a 5,200mAh solar power bank at new $30 low

Through its official Amazon storefront, Goal Zero is giving folks a great deal on its 500 Lumen Torch Light for $29.97 shippedafter clipping the on-page 40% off coupon. Normally sitting at a $50 price tag, we’ve seen a few different discounts on this device in 2024, mainly keeping above $42, with the most recent discount from May dropping costs further to $38. It’s been quiet since then though, and today’s deal comes in after over three months with the biggest price cut we’ve tracked to date, dropping costs down to a new all-time low.

Whether you’re tinkering around in a garage, working outdoors in the dark, camping in the wilds, or dealing with a sudden blackout – this Goal Zero torch can handle it all. It’s been designed for multi-functional use, with 500 lumens of bright LED light being delivered via its focused spotlight or the more wide-reaching flood light, small enough to fit right in your hand or you can use the attached bars to hang it higher up. Coming with an IP67 dust and waterproof rating, it has an internal 5,200mAh power bank and even a built-in solar panel for when you’re not near any USB-C source – plus, yes, the USB-C port on the device can also be used to recharge your phone when you need it.

Worx

Save space, time, and money with Worx’s 20V 12-inch trimmer/edger/mini-mower at $100 for today only

Coming to us via its Deals of the Day, Best Buy is offering the Worx GT Revolution 20V 12-inch Brushless Cordless String Trimmer/Edger/Mini-Mower for $99.99 shipped. Normally this 3-in-1 tool would cost you $150, today’s price cut has only been beaten out by two previous discounts this year, both dropping things further to the $89 low in June and again during Prime Day in July. For the rest of the day you can take advantage of the $50 that’s been shaved off its tag, which gives you this upgrade for your tool shed at its second-lowest rate that we have tracked.

You don’t need to buy three different tools, losing even more space in your shed or garage, especially today. Instead, investing in tools like this GT Revolution can save you space, time, and money as it comes with three different functions for your garden and lawn care routines. It effortlessly converts to either a string trimmer, a wheeled edger, or a mini-mower to tackle the jobs at hand and keep everything well-manicured. It weighs an easily manageable six pounds to start, with a telescoping shaft (one foot longer than its predecessor), 7 different handle positions, and six rotating head positions for greater versatility and flexibility. Falling within the PowerShare family, its 20V 4.0Ah battery can be switched out with over 75+ other tools in Worx’s ecosystem. With the brand’s equipped command feed system old line is replaced with a simple press of a button.

Mitsubishi debuts EV battery swap network for cars AND trucks in Tokyo

Mitsubishi debuts EV battery swap network for cars AND trucks in Tokyo

Mitsubishi is partnering with Ample and Yamoto Transports to deploy an innovative new battery swap network for electric cars in its Japanese home market — but it’s not just for electric cars. Mitsubishi Fuso commercial trucks are getting in on the action, too!

Despite a number of early EV adopters with an overdeveloped concept of ownership, battery swap technology has proven to be both extremely effective and extremely positive to the overall EV ownership experience. And when you see how simple it is to add hundreds of miles of driving in just 100 seconds — quicker, in many cases, than pumping a tank of liquid fuel into an ICE-powered car — you might come around, yourself.

That seems to be what Mitsubishi thinks, anyway, and they’re hoping they’ll be your go-to choice when it’s time to electrify your regional and last-mile commercial delivery fleet(s) by launching a multi-year pilot program to deploy more than 150 battery-swappable commercial electric vehicles and 14 modular battery swapping stations across Tokyo, where the company plans to showcase its “five minute charging” tech in full view of hundreds of commercial fleets and, crucially, the executives of the companies that own and manage them.

How battery swap works for electric trucks

A truck like the Mitsubishi eCanter typically requires a full night of AC charging to top off its batteries, and at least an hour or two on DC charging in Japan, according to Fuso. This joint pilot by Mitsubishi, Mitsubishi Fuso Trucks, and Ample aims to circumvent this issue of forced downtime with its swappable batteries, supporting vehicle uptime by delivering a full charge within minutes. The move is meant to encourage the transport industry’s EV shift while creating a depository of stored energy that can be deployed to the grid in the event of a natural disaster — something Mitsubishi in Japan has been working on for years.

Trucks like the eCanter already serve a number of roles throughout the global truck market, including municipal waste collection, regional delivery support, and more.

The pilot is backed by Tokyo Metropolitan Government’s “Technology Development Support Project for Promoting New Energy,” with local delivery operator Yamato Transport testing swappable EVs for delivery operations on both its eCanter light-duty trucks and Mitsubishi Minicab kei-class electric vans.

Electrek’s Take


Fuso eCanter battery swap; via Mitsubishi.

Electrifying the commercial truck fleet is a key part of decarbonizing city truck fleets – not just here in the US, but around the world. I called the eCanter, “a great product for moving stuff around densely packed city streets,” and eliminating the corporate fear of EV charging in the wild just makes it an even better product for that purpose.

Here’s hoping we see more “right size” electric solutions like this one (and more battery swapping tech) in small towns and tight urban environments stateside somewhat sooner than later.

Opel Grandland Blitz AWD electric SUV should give US Jeep fans hope

Opel Grandland Blitz AWD electric SUV should give US Jeep fans hope

After becoming the first European brand to offer fully electric versions of every model it sells — and at the same price as the ICE models — Opel is going even further, with a new, AWD electric SUV that should give American Jeep fans hope for a new electric Cherokee!

Now part of the Stellantis, rather than GM portfolio of brands, Rüsselsheim-based Opel showed off the first official pictures of its new Opel Grandland Electric AWD — the company’s first all-electric SUV to feature the “Blitz” performance emblem and all-wheel drive.

“Our top-of-the-range Grandland SUV is a milestone for Opel,” says Opel CEO Florian Huettl. “Customers already have a choice of battery-electric drive, plug-in hybrid and hybrid with 48-volt technology. We are now offering even more choice with the Grandland Electric AWD and thus ensuring that our customers can enjoy maximum efficiency and safety in diverse weather and road conditions, combined with plenty of driving fun.”

Stellantis gets it right in Europe


Opel says its new, AWD Grandland is its most aerodynamically efficient model yet, with a drag coefficient (Cd) of just 0.278. That efficiency, paired with similarly efficient electric motors and a 73 kWh li-ion NMC battery give the electric crossover a 501 km (311 mile) WLTP range, while a combined 325 hp and 375 lb-ft of torque should make for suitably spirited acceleration to go along with all that green cred.

Suspension and handling, too, are promised to deliver on what Opel claims is a “typical” Teutonic driving experience in the Grandland AWD:

Both driving pleasure and comfort are further emphasized by dampers with frequency selective damping technology. This unique technology comes as standard on the Grandland Electric AWD and incorporates a second hydraulic circuit in the damper chamber to mechanically adapt the damping force in relation to the frequency. Depending on the situation, road surface conditions and driving style, it enables different damping characteristics for comfortable gliding at high frequencies – i.e. with short impacts such as on cobblestones or a manhole cover – as well as for a sporty, ambitious driving style with more direct contact with the road at low frequencies. The Grandland reacts even more immediately and directly to any command from the driver and, as is typical for Opel, remains stable when braking, cornering and at high speeds on the Autobahn.

OPEL PRESS RELEASE

The Opel Grandland Electric AWD ships with four standard drive modes that include “normal,” eco, sport, and 4WD mode, which simulates locking axles and true 4×4 off-road performance. The ESP and traction control systems adopt specific settings to enhance grip in 4WD mode as well, and maximum power and torque are instantly available.

Electrek’s Take

As you maybe could tell by now, feeding European Stellantis EVs into an AI image generator and asking it to “make them into Jeeps” is one of my new favorite things to do. This new Opel is no different, and the resulting image (above) paired with the models’ stated specs give me hope that the next wave of Jeep EVs will do better than the Wagoneer S at attracting buyers. All they really need, I think, is the right name — and the right price, to be winners.

With $25,000 off, is the Jeep Wagoneer S the best EV deal going?

Published

With ,000 off, is the Jeep Wagoneer S the best EV deal going?

Like a 90s “gifted” kid that was supposed to be a lot of things, the electric Jeep Wagoneer S never really found its place — but with dealers discounting the Jeep brands forward-looking flagship by nearly $25,000, it might be time to give the go-fast Wagoneer S a second look.

SKIP THE STORY: get straight to the deals.

Whether we’re talking about Mercedes-Benz, Cerberus, Fiat, or even Enzo Ferrari, outsiders have labeled Jeep as a potentially premium brand that could, “if managed properly,” command luxury-level prices all over the globe. That hasn’t happened, and Stellantis is just the latest in a long line of companies to sink massive capital into the brand only to realize that people will not, in fact, spend Mercedes money on a Jeep.

That said, the Jeep Wagoneer S is not a bad car (and neither is its totally different, hideously massive, ICE-powered Wagoneer sibling, frankly). Built on the same Stellantis STLA Large vehicle platform that underpins the sporty Charger Daytona EVs, the confusingly-named Wagoneer S packs dual electric motors putting out almost 600 hp. That’s good enough to scoot the ‘ute 0 to 60 mph in a stomach-turning 3.5 seconds and enough, on paper, to convince Stellantis executives that they had developed a real, market-ready alternative to the Tesla Model Y.

With the wrong name and a sky-high starting price of $66,995 (not including the $1,795 destination fee), however, that demand didn’t materialize, leaving the Wagoneer S languishing on dealer lots across the country.

That could be about to change, however, thanks to big discounts on Wagoneer S being reported at CDJR dealers in several states, according to our friends at the Car Dealership Guy podcast.

  • Jimmy Britt Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram in Georgia, has a Wagoneer S with an MSRP of $67,590 listed at $43,104 ($24,486 off)
  • In Florida, Taverna Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram Fiat has a $67,590 Wagoneer S slashed to $43,138 ($24,452 off)
  • Chris Nikel Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram Fiat in Oklahoma has a Wagoneer S listed for $43,425 ($24,165 off)

“Stellantis bet big on electric versions of iconic American brands like Jeep and Dodge, but consumers aren’t buying the premise,” writes CDG’s Marcus Amick. “(Stellantis’ dealer body) is now stuck with expensive EVs that need huge discounts to move, eating into already thin margins while competitors focus on [more] profitable gas-powered vehicles.”

All of which is to say: if you’ve found yourself drawn to the Jeep Wagoneer S, but couldn’t quite stomach the $70,000+ window stickers, you might want to check in with your local Jeep dealer and see how you feel about it at a JCPenneys-like 30% off!
