Fall’s Prime Day pricing is dropping early folks, with today’s Green Deals spotlighting Segway’s Ninebot MAX G30LP KickScooter which is now down at a new $450 fall Prime Day low. Coming up right behind it is Lectric’s XPeak Off-Road e-bikes that have shaken off the recent price cut in favor of receiving $776 in free gear, including an extra battery for double travel distance – all for $1,399. Bluetti has also launched its fall Prime Day sale that has returned its AC200L Portable Power Station back to its $1,199 low. You can also prepare for the snow season at a great price with the EGO Power+ 56V 21-inch Cordless Electric Snow Blower, and EV drivers are getting another one-day sale for Rexing’s Tesla to J1772 EV Charger Adapter too. Plus, all the other hangover Green Deals in the links at the bottom of the page, like yesterday’s ongoing discounts on Tesla’s Universal and Standard Wall Connector level 2 EV charging stations, and much more.

Head below for other New Green Deals we’ve found today and, of course, Electrek’s best EV buying and leasing deals. Also, check out the new Electrek Tesla Shop for the best deals on Tesla accessories.

Segway Ninebot MAX G30LP kickscooter with regenerative brakes at $450 fall Prime Day low

Segway has launched its Big Deal Sale that is running through October 9 and taking up to 60% off its lineup of e-mobility models, with the popular Ninebot MAX G30LP KickScooter getting one of the best deals in the bunch and starting at $529.99 shipped, with extra savings that take $80 more off its discounted price to land at $449.99 shipped, after joining the Segway Mileage Club by simply creating an account for free. Normally sitting at a $700 price tag, discounts usually bring costs down within a $615 to $600 range, with occasional drops lower to $550 and $500. Today though, after creating an account, you’re looking at a new all-time low price here that beats out its previous low for the first time by $50 – all you have to do is join, add the e-scooter to your cart, and get the extra savings automatically.

Whether you’re new to the world of e-scooters or an experienced rider, the Segway Ninebot MAX G30LP KickScooter continues to be one of the best budget-friendly models that can carry you a significant distance – and I frequently see them cruising the streets of NYC. There’s a 350W motor tucked inside along with a 36V 367Wh battery that delivers up to 25 miles of travel on a single charge, reaching top speeds of 18.6 MPH, and even tackling inclines up to 20% without a problem (double what many other models can handle).

The Ninebot MAX G30LP Kickscooter provides three different riding modes to balance out performance, depending on what kind of commuter you need in any given moment – with a speed limit mode, standard mode, and sport mode. The balance is even taken a step further with the addition of regenerative braking (which I truly love to see on e-scooters) that recycles energy when you activate the brakes to extend travel times (especially if you’re in its more economical riding modes). Aside from that, there’s also a secondary braking system, a foldable frame, a built-in LED headlight, smart controls via the companion app, and an LED digital dashboard.

Ninebot MAX G30LP KickScooter

Lectric’s fall sale has made some changes to its discounted e-bike bundles, with up to $776 in free gear being added to your purchase. Once again taking over the spotlight is the brand’s XPeak Off-Road e-bikes at $1,399 shipped, which get the biggest bundle of $776 in free add-on gear, including an extra battery for doubled mileage. Last week saw a rare price cut to the $1,299 low, but today, despite prices resuming their normal rates, you’re looking at one of the best (and most popular) deals on these models due to all the extra add-ons that you get. The massive package of gear includes the extra battery, a rear cargo rack, fenders, an Elite headlight, and the brand’s accordion bike lock.

The biggest drawing point of this bundle is the inclusion of the free extra battery that extends the XPeak e-bike’s travel distance from 55 miles to 110 miles, which only sweetens the pot further thanks to its already affordable lower price rate. The 750W rear hub motor (that peaks at 1,310W to tackle inclines) is also supported by five levels of pedal assistance that boost the rider’s efforts up to max speeds of 20 to 28 MPH, depending on your state’s laws.

There are a bunch of great features on these XPeak e-bikes that you’re getting alongside the praise we have for its performance and price, with Lectric adding 4-inch puncture-resistant fat tires for prolonged rides (even through rough or debris-ridden areas). You’ll also be getting hydraulic mineral oil brakes, a 7-gear Shimano derailleur, a thru-axle wheel attachment system for tool-free installations, a hidden cable routing system, an IP65 water-and-dust-resistant LCD display, and even removable pedals that are quite underestimated for folks, like me, who may need to make room to house/transport the bike when not in use. Plus, all the additional free gear you’re getting from the bundle too!

You can follow the link here to the sale’s landing page to browse through all the offers in their entirety, with the XPedition Dual-Battery Cargo e-bikes and XP 3.0 Long-Range e-bikes getting the next best bundle deals.

AC200L

Bluetti’s AC200L 2,048Wh LiFePO4 power station returns to $1,199 low in early fall Prime Day sale

After last week’s launches of early fall Prime Day sales from EcoFlow, Jackery, and now Anker, we’re seeing a similar shorter-term sale from Bluetti through October 7 that is taking up to 57% off its offerings and even including some exclusive savings for members. One standout this go around is the brand’s AC200L Portable Power Station which is down at $1,199 shipped. It would normally cost you $1,999 outside of sales, with frequent short-term discounts as well that have been steadily increasing the savings as the months go on, starting the year with falls to $1,399, while more recently price cuts in August and September have seen it go $200 lower. Today’s sale is bringing us another chance at the lowest rate we have tracked, with a 40% markdown dropping costs by $800 and landing it back at its all-time low – which even beats out July’s Prime Day pricing by $100.

While smaller power stations are handy for a few days worth of traveling around, if you tend to go camping with bigger groups using more appliances or want more home support during emergencies, the AC200L’s 2,048Wh LiFePO4 battery capacity has your back. You can even build on your investment over time here, as it can be bumped up to a 4,096Wh capacity with a B230 expansion battery, or go further to 6,348Wh with two B210 batteries, with a third option to max it out at 8,192Wh with two B300 batteries. It features 11 output ports to connect to your devices/appliances (four ACs, two USB-As, two USB-Cs, one car port, one RV port, and even a NEMA TT-30 port) and provides up to 2,400W speeds (surging to 3,600W).

Recharging speeds have been increased with this model, as you can now hit 80% battery in just 45 minutes when plugged into a wall outlet, or you can take advantage of its solar charging capabilities with a maximum 1,200W input that will refuel the battery in 1.7 to 2.2 hours on average. Plus, there’s the usual smart controls you’ll be getting too, allowing you to monitor and control the unit’s settings through your tablet or smartphone via the BLUETTI app.

Ego Power+

Prepare for winter’s arrival with the EGO Power+ 56V 21-inch cordless electric snow blower at $549

Winter is coming, are you prepared? Well, Amazon is helping you stock up on winter equipment today with the EGO Power+ 56V 21-Inch Cordless Electric Snow Blower that is down at $549 shipped. Normally fetching $649 since we entered warmer months, it has only seen six previous discounts so far in 2024, with May having seen a brief drop to the $519 low and the others mainly keeping above $551. Today though, prices have been cut back down to the second-lowest price we have tracked, sitting just $30 above the all-time low.

As fast as the months have seemed to move, before we all know it we’ll have rushed through fall and found ourselves back in the season of snow – and what better way to prepare for those rougher days than with this 21-inch cordless electric snow blower. Sporting a brushless motor and powered by two 4.0Ah batteries, you’ll be able to effortlessly clear a 21-inch wide path while tossing all that snow up to 35 feet out of the way. Ice won’t be much concern thanks to the steel auger that can break through it at faster rates than other models on the market, especially with its durable weather-resistant steel body. There’s a variable speed control for the auger that allows for more comfortable handling, while the two bright LED headlights give you improved visibility when committing to those nighttime and early-morning clearings.

Rexing

Coming to us via its Deals of the Day, Best Buy is offering the Rexing Tesla to J1772 EV Charger Adapter for $109.99 shipped for the rest of the day. Usually priced at $160 in full, we’ve watched it steadily increase savings over 2024 with discounts starting to $130 in February and more recently dropping costs between $100 and $110 – most of which have come from these one-day sales. We did see it dip under $100 for a brief timeframe back at the start of summer, but today’s deal still gives you a solid $50 markdown that lands it among the lowest rates we have tracked.

Having this attachment in your glove compartment will give you more wide-ranging access to recharging your EV, as any J1772-compatible model will be able to connect to any Tesla level 1 or level 2 stations, minus the company’s supercharger stations. It also makes for a convenient addition if you’re a Tesla driver as non-Tesla-owning friends, family, or guests will likely appreciate the versatility of the otherwise limited setups at your home. You’ll receive the support of charging speeds up to 20kW, dishing out up to 80A to get plenty of mileage in a few hours.

Speaking of Tesla charging stations, we spotted a rare discount on both its Universal and Standard Wall Connector level 2 stations yesterday over at Amazon for folks who are looking to upgrade or start their home EV setup. The Universal model, down at $550 from $580, has a customizable output of up to 48A, giving you upward of 44 miles per hour of charging, and utilizes an integrated J1772 adapter for compatibility with non-Tesla EVs. The standard model offers the same performance specs, just without the adapter, and is currently down at $420 from $450.

Fall e-bike deals!

Best new Green Deals landing this week

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.

Zoox has officially begun offering (free) robotaxi rides to the general public around LasVegas

Zoox has officially begun offering (free) robotaxi rides to the general public around LasVegas

Robotaxi Vegas

Bespoke robotaxi developer Zoox officially launched driverless rides around the Las Vegas Strip today. The milestone follows months of testing in the area, and the initial rides are free for the general public.

In the eleven years since its incorporation, Zoox, Inc. has taken a unique and exciting approach to rideshare transportation. Instead of building a robotaxi fleet using existing vehicles retrofitted with autonomous driving technology, Zoox introduced its own novel electric vehicle early.

While most of the company’s initial test fleet consisted of existing vehicles equipped with sensors and cameras, we have closely followed the development, testing, and implementation of Zoox’s purpose-built robotaxis, which is designed without pedals or a steering wheel.

In the past, those unique Zoox EVs could be seen testing around the San Francisco Bay Area and the Las Vegas Strip, where the robotaxi network has been testing for over two years now. That initial route in Sin City consisted of a one-mile loop near Zoox’s Las Vegas headquarters, offering the ability to transport up to four passengers at speeds up to 35 mph.

At the time, initial test rides were conducted by Zoox employees before “expanding over the coming months.” By March 2024, Zoox had upped the robotaxi’s top speed to 45 mph in Las Vegas and expanded operational hours to include nighttime driving and service under light rain and damp road conditions. 

Following these expansions, Zoox said it was closer than ever to commercial operations and paid customer rides. Today, the robotaxi provider has reached that milestone in Vegas, offering the general public free rides in its purpose-built vehicles (an industry first).

Anyone can now order a Zoox robotaxi in Las Vegas

According to a blog post from Zoox this morning, it is celebrating becoming the first company in history to provide fully autonomous ride-hailing services to the public using a purpose-built robotaxi. Las Vegas is the perfect backdrop for Zoox’s unique ride-hailing experience, as its robotaxis could help transport some of the city’s 40 million annual visitors. Per Zoox CEO Aicha Evans:

The autonomous vehicle industry has made remarkable strides this year, bringing us closer to a future of safer, more accessible mobility. With the launch of our fully driverless ride-hailing service using a purposefully designed robotaxi, we’re thrilled to be part of this groundbreaking journey. Las Vegas is a city famous for unforgettable moments, and it is the ideal location for our debut. Zoox is about transforming the entire ride-hailing experience, making every ride a delightful experience

Starting today, September 10, you can download the Zoox app to your iOS or Android device and hail one of the company’s truly driverless robotaxi operating in Las Vegas. To begin, all rides are free, so early passengers can “become familiar with Zoox, our service, and share their feedback” before the company scales to paid rides, which still requires regulatory approval.

Looking ahead, Zoox said customers can also join the waitlist for robotaxi rides in San Francisco. The company hasn’t announced a launch date for the Bay Area yet, but said more details are coming soon. Here’s a little peek at the Zoox robotaxi in action around Las Vegas:

The Toyota RAV4 and Land Cruiser EVs are almost here

The Toyota RAV4 and Land Cruiser EVs are almost here

Toyota-RAV4-EVs

Toyota is gearing up to launch two new electric SUVs based on the RAV4 and Land Cruiser. The RAV4 and Land Cruiser EVs are set to replace a luxury Lexus model as Toyota shifts production plans.

When will Toyota launch the RAV4 and Land Cruiser EVs?

We knew Toyota was up to something. Reports have been surfacing for months about its plans to build new electric SUVs in Kentucky.

Toyota confirmed earlier this year that it “plans to produce two all-new, three-row battery electric SUVs in the US.”

Although it initially planned to build them at its manufacturing plant in Princeton, Indiana, the automaker announced last month that both will now be assembled at Toyota Kentucky.

According to a new Nikkei report, the two new EVs will be based on the Toyota RAV4 and Land Cruiser. A person close to the matter claimed that the new electric SUVs will replace the Lexus ES sedan, which is currently built in Kentucky.

The next-gen Lexus ES will be made in Japan and exported to the US, the source said, adding that the shift is not related to the new US auto tariffs.

However, like past reports, Nikkei claimed the move was part of Toyota’s broader plans to consolidate production. Lexus brand vehicles will reportedly be moved to a single location, while Toyota ramps up production of the larger Grand Highlander in Kentucky.

Toyota responded to the report, saying it has not publicly announced the changes, but added that the company is reviewing production plans “to make ever-better cars.”

The RAV4 and Land Cruiser EVs are expected to be among seven new electric models Toyota launches in the US by mid-2027.

Following the updated bZ electric SUV, which will hit US dealerships soon, Toyota will introduce the C-HR and bZ Woodland crossover SUVs in 2026.

Toyota Motor North America vice president, David Christ, boasted that the company is “loading the bases” with new battery electric, hybrid, and plug-in hybrid vehicles on deck.

British company unveils non-folding electric bike that folds flat

British company unveils non-folding electric bike that folds flat

Boost, a UK-based company better known for its electric bike conversion kits, has released a new electric bike that is designed to be as compact as possible, despite not being a folding e-bike. Or at least, not a folding frame e-bike.

That’s because while the Boost Bike doesn’t fold in half like many compact e-bikes, it still manages to shrink down significantly thanks to a nifty set of handlebars that can be turned sideways or even removed entirely. Those compacting tricks help it fit easily in car trunks, hallways, or small apartment nooks – making it a great urban companion for riders tight on space.

The swiveling bars take a page out of JackRabbit’s playbook, though on Boost’s version, they appear to only allow the bike to narrow itself down to a 10″ (25 cm) wide. The JackRabbit’s 90-degree swiveling handlebars famously allow a svelter 7″ (17.8 cm) figure.

The frame itself is a rugged mini-bike design built from aircraft-grade 6061-T6 aluminum, and it’s paired with 20” x 1.75” tires that give it an even tinier look than it probably deserves. Hydraulic disc brakes and an 8-speed Shimano derailleur show that just because the bike is small, it’s not featureless. Though it’s also not a powerhouse, either.

Power comes from a 250W rear hub motor that keeps the bike street legal in the UK and EU, but it offers only a modest amount of torque at 42 Nm. Boost claims a top speed of 25 km/h (15.5 mph), as per e-bike regulations, and the company says its 7Ah battery is rated for up to 35 miles (56 km) under the most ideal of conditions.

There’s an option for a wireless display (to be added for an extra fee), or riders can use a smartphone app to control the bike.

BikeRadar puts the price at £1,250 (approximately US $1,700), though it says there is a non-electric version available for just under half that price. With that kind of sticker shock, the Boost Bike isn’t the cheapest mini e-bike on the market, but it may be one of the most minimalist-looking. If you’re ready to fork over the cash for one now, well then, you’ll have to… wait. It’s not yet for sale, though the company says it is coming soon.

Electrek’s Take

Hey, I’m all for lighter-weight e-bikes. At a time when the best-selling models are pushing 70 lb (32 kg), it’s a welcome relief to see lighter options. I wish I could tell you how light this one is, but the company doesn’t volunteer that interesting little nugget. I’d also love to tell you the battery capacity, but without hearing the voltage, that amp-hour figure is useless. I’ll assume 36V though, which would give us 250Wh of capacity.

The price here is the killer, as there’s nothing special about the bike other than its handlebars. The ‘e’ in the e-bike appears to be a fairly simple, standard conversion kit pre-installed on what is a neat little frame, but not quite worth US $1,700 in my book. But hey, if you want something nice and flat, there just aren’t many options out there, and this gets you there.
