Lectric’s best-selling XP 3.0 long-range e-bikes get limited-time $507 of free camping gear at $1,299

Alongside its ongoing Fall into Savings sale, Lectric has thrown in a limited-time camping bundle on its XP 3.0 Long-Range e-bikes through October 16, giving you $507 in free gear at $1,299 shipped. This bundle package would normally cost you $1,806 in total, with it giving you everything you need to support you during your next camping trip, or even for more localized trips to tailgates or doing errands around town. You’ll be getting a larger-than-normal giant cushioned saddle that is better supported by the coiled spring suspension, a front mounting rack, a small cargo basket, a large cargo basket, a 35L soft cooler, a silk cargo net, a folding bike lock, a pair of rear-view mirrors, and an adjustable phone mount.

Lectric’s three models of XP 3.0 Long-Range e-bikes all arrive with a 500W hub motor and an internal 48V battery that work together to propel the bike up to 20 MPH – with top speeds of 28 MPH available in states where regulations allow for it. Using its five levels of pedal assistance (powered by the brand’s Pedal Assist Wattage Regulation Programming which you can learn more about here) you will get up to 65 miles of travel distance on a single charge, or you can solely use the throttle for up to 30 miles per charge. On top of the additional gear, these e-bikes also come stocked with an integrated rear cargo rack, puncture-resistant tires, 180mm hydraulic disc brakes, a headlight, a taillight, as well as the LCD display and a foldable body for easier storage/transport when you’re not on the saddle.

You can check out all the other ongoing e-bike bundle discounts during Lectric’s Fall into Savings sale here, like the free extra battery offer on the XPeak Off-Road e-bikes.

Save $800 on Bluetti’s 2,048Wh AC200L LiFePO4 power station at $1,199 low in post-Prime Day sale

Bluetti has an ongoing sale direct from its website through October 20 that is continuing Prime Day savings with up to 57% taken off power stations, bundles, and accessories, with some exclusive member discounts for those with an account (sign-up is free). A notable inclusion is the brand’s popular AC200L Portable Power Station that is down at $1,199 shipped. Normally priced at $1,999, we’ve seen plenty of short-term discounts over 2024 that have often brought costs down to $1,399, with the last few months seeing increased savings as low as $1,199 – including last week’s Prime Day event. This sale gives you ample opportunity to get the best savings we’ve seen at a 40% markdown that slashes $800 off the tag and returns it to the all-time lowest price we have tracked.

If you plan to head out over the fall season with larger camping groups and/or more appliances while also wanting to be prepared for sudden home backup support during emergencies, Bluetti’s AC200L power station can certainly handle the job. It delivers a 2,048Wh LiFePO4 battery capacity that can be expanded upon up to 4,096Wh with a B230 expansion battery, 6,348Wh with two B210 batteries, or even 8,192Wh with two B300 batteries. It pumps out power at up to 2,400W (surging to 3,600W) with its 11 output ports: four ACs, two USB-As, two USB-Cs, one car port, one RV port, and even a NEMA TT-30 port.

Recharging the unit can take just 45 minutes to hit an 80% battery when you plug it into a standard wall outlet, or you can utilize up to 1,200W of solar input that can fill the battery in 1.7 to 2.2 hours on average. There’s also the usual array of smart controls that you’ve come to expect, all accessed through a tablet or smartphone via the BLUETTI app.

stock e-bikes

Electric Bike Company has taken $200 off a selection of its ready-designed stock e-bike models, as well as offering some accessory discounts and a bonus promotion too – with prices starting at $1,399 shipped for its Model J e-bike. Normally fetching $1,599 in our post-tariff market, cash savings on e-bikes from this brand are rare occurrences, often only ever seeing the price cut down by $100 or $200 increments. While we have seen it go as low as $1,299 in the past – first during last year’s Black Friday sales and only once in 2024 in February (which we haven’t seen again since), this model often gets dropped to $1,499 on average. Today though, you’re looking at a solid $200 markdown here that lands it at the third-lowest price we have tracked. The brand also has an ongoing promotion that gives you a free anti-theft alarm alongside an upgraded 3.5A supercharger along with your e-bike purchase by using the code FALL2024 at checkout – valued at $383.

Arriving with a minimalist moped design that is reminiscent of Venice Beach cruisers (complete with the banana seat), the Model J e-bike cruises onto the scene at 20 MPH (using the throttle alone) to 28 MPH speeds (with its five pedal assistance levels) and up to a 60-mile travel distance on a single charge. It achieves these performances thanks to the 750W geared hub motor that is powered by a 14Ah battery. You’ll also be getting the e-bike stocked with motorbike-grade puncture-resistant tires, integrated front and rear safety lights, hand stitched vegan leather grips, and an LCD color display with a USB charging port. You can get a full hands-on rundown from our review over at Electrek.

AeroGarden Harvest 2.0

AeroGarden’s Harvest 2.0 indoor hydroponic system beats out Prime Day pricing at $52

Amazon is offering the AeroGarden Harvest 2.0 Indoor Hydroponic System for $52.49 shipped. Normally priced at $90, it’s mainly kept above $80 throughout 2024, with summer having seen the largst discount to the $50 low for a short while before returning back to its higher rates. In last week’s Prime Day event we saw it fall to $60, but that price is being beaten out here today with nearly $40 slashed from the tag, giving you the second-lowest price we have tracked – just $2 above the all-time low.

For those not in the know, AeroGarden recently announced that it will be closing its doors in the coming months, so if you’ve ever wanted to add one of these indoor hydroponic gardens to your home, now is the time to do so – especially with such a large discount bringing costs down to its lowest prices. Without the mess of soil, you’ll be able to grow up to six of your favorite veggies, herbs, or flowers up to 12 inches tall with the Harvest 2.0 model thanks to its grow deck and water bowl design. There’s a 15W grow light that features an automatic on/off timer to mimic natural sunlight and allow plant germination ” up to 5x faster than in soil.” This upgraded model sports a darker interior within its grow deck to increase prevention of algae growth in the water reservoir and even has a nutrient reminder so you don’t forget when to add more plant food. Along with the unit itself, you’ll also be receiving a growing starter kit that includes plant food, grow sponges, and lettuce seeds.

Coca-Cola expands electric delivery fleet with thousands of e-rickshaws

Coca-Cola expands electric delivery fleet with thousands of e-rickshaws

Coca-Cola’s bottling partners in India are going electric, three wheels at a time. The company just announced a major expansion of its electric delivery fleet, adding thousands of electric three-wheeled vehicles (often called e-rickshaws or electric tuk-tuks) to its logistics operations across the country.

These compact electric vehicles are already a common sight on India’s roads, used for everything from passenger transport to last-mile cargo deliveries. Now Coca-Cola’s bottlers are ramping up their use of these efficient EVs as part of a broader sustainability and welfare initiative dubbed “Vividhta ka Uphaar,” which translates to “a gift of diversity.”

According to the company, the rollout is already underway, with more than 5,000 electric three-wheelers integrated into delivery routes in cities such as Ahmedabad, Bhubaneswar, Bhopal, and more. The vehicles not only reduce tailpipe emissions but also lower noise pollution and operating costs, making them a win for both the company and the communities they serve.

Coca-Cola joins a growing list of multinational corporations turning to electric tuk-tuks to clean up their delivery fleets in Asia. IKEA has deployed similar electric three-wheelers in India and other Southeast Asian countries as part of its push to achieve zero-emissions deliveries. Amazon and Flipkart have also experimented with three-wheeled EVs to reach urban customers on tight, traffic-clogged streets.

While North America often focuses on four-wheeled electric trucks and vans for commercial use, much of the developing world relies on these nimble three-wheeled workhorses. Affordable, maneuverable, and easy to charge, electric rickshaws are a natural fit for dense cities with hot climates – especially where small businesses and large corporations alike need efficient last-mile solutions.

Electrek’s Take

These types of EVs can’t come soon enough. They use electric drivetrains that are closer in size to an electric bicycle than an electric delivery truck or van (usually 2-4kW motors and 3-5 kWh batteries), yet can carry loads closer in size to those same trucks and vans.

Sure, they can’t carry quite the same tonnage, but they’re often more appropriately sized for the kind of last-mile delivery that so many companies require.

I actually bought an electric tuk-tuk back in 2023 and found it to be the perfect ‘city truck’ for my lifestyle, where I live car-free in a city and my wife and I travel by e-bike and e-motorcycle. For the few times we need to actually haul stuff, an electric tuk-tuk or rickshaw gives truck-like capacity in a smaller and more efficient vehicle. What’s not to like?!

Yangwang U9 Xtreme cracks 300 mph to become fastest production car EVER [video]

Yangwang U9 Xtreme cracks 300 mph to become fastest production car EVER [video]

The world’s fastest car is electric: Yangwang U9 Xtreme hits 308.4mph

Move over, Bugatti! The new Chinese Yangwang U9 Xtreme electric hypercar just blasted its way to a staggering, 308.4 mph top speed on a German test track, seizing the “world’s fastest car” crown and busting the last traces of the myth that electric cars are slow.

Just weeks after BYD announced that the nearly 3,000 hp, all-electric Yangwang U9 Track Edition model set a new global speed record for electric vehicles after hitting a ridiculous 472.41 km/h (~293 mph), the Yangwang crew returned to Germany’s Automotive Testing Papenburg GmbH (ATP) test track with the U9 Xtreme with its sights set on a new goal. They didn’t want the world’s fastest EV title – they wanted the world’s fastest production car title. Period.

The BYD Yangwang crew got that record, rocketing all the way to 496.22 km/h – that’s 308.4 mph to you and me!

“This record was only possible because the U9 Xtreme simply has incredible performance,” explains German GT racing driver Marc Basseng, who piloted the Chinese EV on its record-setting run. “Technically, something like this is not possible with a combustion engine. Thanks to the electric motor, the car is quiet, there are no load changes, and that allows me to focus even more on the track.”

The Yangwang U9 features the world’s first mass-produced 1,200V ultra-high-voltage vehicle platform. Developed by BYD, the car is powered by the company’s latest li-ion phosphate batteries in BYD’s now-familiar “blade” configuration.

The U9 Xtreme’s record-setting run dethrones the previous Bugatti Chiron Super Sport 300+, which managed 304.8 mph back in 2019. The Bugatti now has to settle for the lesser “world’s fastest combustion-powered production car” title, which is objectively lame.

Definitely NOT lame

The company says it’s selling “no more than 30” of the Xtreme U9 EVs, presumably to customers with incredibly long driveways. The Xtreme version features smaller, 20″ wheels (instead of 21s), and gets wider, 325 mm tires (up from 275 mm) to match the rears. The fronts also ride on a narrower track.

You can watch Marc Messang put the 3,000 hp Yangwang U9 Xtreme electric hypercar to the test in the video, below, then let us know what you think of China’s first-ever world record-setting vehicle in the comments section at the bottom of the page.

10,000 buyers snapped up 776 hp electric AUDI wagon – in its first 30 minutes!

10,000 buyers snapped up 776 hp electric AUDI wagon – in its first 30 minutes!

Audi’s Chinese Brand Scored 10,000 Pre-Orders In Just 30 Minutes

With dual electric motors pumping out 776 hp, over 400 miles of all-electric range, and a relatively low MSRP, the new AUDI E5 Flagship Quattro electric wagon is electrifying the Chinese wagon market – scoring over 10,000 orders in its first thirty minutes on sale!

First launched last fall, the new Audi-backed AUDI sub-brand kept the sexy wagon aesthetic but ditched the Germans’ interlocking rings and Auto Union heritage in favor of a simple, all-caps AUDI logo on the E concept wagon. Now seen in production trim, the production AUDI E5 Sportback is surprisingly true to the original concept – except in the horsepower department, that is.

But, while a production car having lower horsepower figures than the concept car that preceded it is pretty typical, the production AUDI E5 is different: it actually offers more peak power than the 765 hp concept!

That’s right, kids! the range-topping Flagship Quattro version of the new AUDI E5 Sportback offers buyers 776 horsepower (that’s 11 more than the concept), and gets 402 miles (CLTC) of range from its 100 kWh battery. And, while that version is a monster, even the base-level Pioneer version at just 235,900 yuan ($33,000, as I type this) offers a 76 kWh battery pack sending power to a 295 hp rear-mounted electric motor and over 600 km of range (~385 miles).

It’s a solid achievement in value and tech, and the Audi people seem pretty proud of themselves. “The AUDI E5 Sportback is our first model based on the Advanced Digitized Platform, and it delivers on our brand promise: the best of both worlds,” says Fermín Soneira, CEO of the Audi and SAIC Cooperation Project. “Audi’s DNA and engineering excellence is blended with China’s digital ecosystem and innovations, specifically tailored for our tech-savvy customers.”

And it’s pretty.

AUDI E5 Sportback

The wagon’s exterior, while not necessarily shouting “Audi” in the conventional, Western sense, is still proportioned well enough to carry the four rings (or, looked at another way, a VW logo). But, while it’s a great-looking wagon on the outside, it’s on the inside that the all-new E5 AUDI Sportback really sets itself apart.

The interior of the AUDI E5 Sportback is noticeably different from any Audi model, being much more inline with similar entry-luxe EVs sold in China. The E5 dash also sports a 59″-inch” wide screen that stretches across the entire dash, digital side mirrors, Alcantara seating surfaces, and wireless phone chargers.

All that tech is powered by the QUALCOMM Snapdragon 8295 automotive chipset with 5-nanometer precision and the ability to perform 30 billion operations per second, and the Chinese-market AUDI OS offers what its makers call, “an intuitive experience designed to make the vehicle occupants’ lives easier.”

You can take a look at the new E5 Sportback’s interior, below, then let us know whether or not you think an Audi AUDI like this (and its purple mood lighting) would be a hot seller Stateside in the comments.
