Lectric’s XPress 750 e-bike makes a great commuting companion for up to 60 miles at $1,299 with $257 in free gear

Checking back in on Lectric’s ongoing Fall into Savings sale that still has a free extra battery offer on its XPeak Off-Road e-bikes, the brand also has a nice package deal going for one of its newer models, the XPress 750 e-bikes going for $1,299 shipped and coming along with $257 in free gear. Normally this bundle would cost you $1,556, but as is often the case with this brand’s sales, the discounts here are on the included add-on accessories for an enhanced riding experience. While it’s not the biggest bundle we’ve seen (which goes to its free extra battery launch special from April) it is definitely among the more sizable packages that we’ve seen lately, while the e-bike itself is an ideal solution to many commuter needs at an affordable rate. With the bundled gear you’ll also be adding a larger saddle and suspension seat post to the mix, alongside an 850 lux Elite headlight, and a phone mount.

Coming in both step-thru and step-over designs, Lectric’s XPress 750 e-bike has been my primary way to get around NYC for a little while now and it has surpassed most of my expectations in just how far it can carry me. It comes with a 750W rear hub motor (peaking at 1,310W for inclines), a removable 48V 14Ah battery, and five levels of pedal assistance (with an always-appreciated torque sensor and the company’s PWR+ technology) that boosts me up to 20 MPH for up to 60 miles (in states where it’s permitted, speeds can max out at 28 MPH). The commuting distance holds up as I’ll regularly take this model out for two or more hours at a time and return home with a nearly full battery after cruising around with the pedal assistance (using the throttle alone does show more battery usage).

There’s a bunch of other solid features to praise Lectric for on the XPress e-bike, like the puncture-resistant tires, hydraulic mineral oil brakes, front suspension fork, a 7-geared freewheel paired with a Shimano derailleur, removable pedals, a thru-axle wheel attachment system for tool-free installations, kickstand, a hidden cable routing system, an integrated headlight and taillight, and a full-color LCD display with a USB-A port to charge your personal device.

If you’re not concerned with the free gear but are interested in a toned-down version of Lectric’s XPress e-bike, there are two base model options that are cheaper at $999 shipped. They offer the same overall design features, except with a smaller 500W rear-hub motor (that peaks at 1,092W) and a 48V 10.4Ah battery that provides a shorter travel range up to 45+ miles.

Be sure to check out the entire lineup of e-bike bundles while Lectric’s Fall into Savings sale continues.

Segway Navimow H Series robot mowers

Segway’s Navimow H series robot mowers still benefit from $600 discounts starting from return $1,299 low

Through its official Amazon storefront, Segway Navimow is offering continuing Prime Day pricing on its H Series Robot Lawn Mowers starting from $1,299 shipped, after clipping the on-page $600 off coupon, while its two other models are down at $1,599 and $1,999, respectively with the same on-page coupons. Down from their price tags of $1,899, $2,199, and $2,599 since first hitting the market in March, discounts have been frequently dropping costs by $380 to $600 over 2024. Last seen during the recent Prime Day event, the savings are being continued here for the best opportunity to upgrade your lawn care routine at the lowest price we have tracked. You’ll also find the same $600 discount available on the largest of these models direct from Segway.

Segway’s Navimow H series includes three models that are designed to cover either 0.2-acre yards, 0.37-acre yards, or 0.74-acre yards – with the first carrying a 180-minute battery life while the other two have extended 240-minute run times. They all provide the same cutting height range from 1.2 inches to 2.4 inches, and can even climb/descend up to 24-degree slopes while completing their duties – plus, they all sport an IP66 waterproof rating to handle the aftermath of adverse weather.

The big upgrade here is ditching any need for a perimeter wire in favor of RTK positioning, paired alongside its VisionFence Sensor that enhances its navigation and obstacle avoidance functionalities. You’ll be getting the smart controls over its performance that you would expect, allowing you to overwrite and adjust its settings and schedules – though you can also let it do it’s own thing too, with the robot able to return of its own accord to the charging station when its battery gets too low and picking back up after recharging. This is possible thanks to the guidance of its Global Navigation Satellite Systems that make sure to keep it within the set boundaries and also to track it down if it gets stuck on terrain or even swiped off your property when you’re not looking.

You can also check out our recent launch coverage of Segway’s new Navimow X3 series which has been designed and upgraded to tackle yards up to 2.5 acres in size.

Lectric XPress e-bike

Rad Power offers up to $300 in savings on three e-bikes with free accessories thrown in starting from $1,399

Rad Power has another edition of its usual sales, offering up to $300 in savings on three of its e-bike models, with some in the form of free additional gear – all through October 23. This time around, the lowest price starts with the RadRover 6 Plus Step-Thru e-bike that is down at $1,399 shipped. Normally fetching $1,599 these days after Rad lowered prices across its older models at the start of 2024, this is the second-lowest price we have tracked on this model, which over the year has been overlooked for price cuts in favor of its now discontinued high-step counterpart. You’ll be saving a solid $200 on a very reliable e-bike that I have personally enjoyed riding around the swamps of Virginia, which I discussed in my Travel Kit here. Head below to get the breakdown of what to expect before hopping aboard the saddle.

While I was spending some time visiting my family down in the swamps of Virginia and North Carolina, I got to jump into the saddle of the RadRover 6 Plus e-bikes for the first time, with my parents having bought both the high-step and step-thru models. It provided me a solid riding experience that I regularly took time to partake in (especially when I needed alone time), with the 750W brushless geared hub motor and semi-integrated 672Wh battery giving me 45 miles of travel at speeds up to 20 MPH. The five levels of pedal assistance kicked on with little lag time, and gave me a consistently reliable ride for the full week of use – plus, my parents regularly use it to get around campsites and have nothing but good things to say about it.

As I mentioned in my Travel Kit coverage, this model is a great companion for rides on the streets and for when things go off-road, as the thick Kenda Juggernaut puncture-resistant tires easily tackled the swampy and varying terrain, with the water-resistant connectors providing added protections during these parts of my journeys. Along with these, the bike also comes equipped with a 7-speed Shimano derailleur, fenders to go over both wheels and a solid LCD display to monitor and switch through its settings.

EcoFlow RIVER 2 Pro LiFePO4 power station

EcoFlow’s RIVER 2 Pro 768Wh LiFePO4 power station covers 80% of appliances at return $379 low

Coming to us through its official Amazon storefront, EcoFlow is offering another chance to grab the RIVER 2 Pro Portable Power Station at its lowest rate of $379 shipped. Normally fetching $599, this unit has benefitted from a bunch of discounts, with most from Amazon taking costs down between $439 and $429 while some of EcoFlow’s direct 24-hour flash sales brought costs down lower to $379 during its summer and fall early Prime Day sales. Today you can score it once again at the lowest price we have tracked, which only appeared for a single day during the recent Prime Day event and saves you $220.

One of the larger models in EcoFlow’s RIVER series of compact backup solutions, the RIVER 2 Pro comes ready to assist your campsite visits and short-term power needs with a 768Wh LiFePO4 capacity that pumps out up to 1,600W of power thanks to its X-boost tech, giving it the juice to “run 80% of home appliances.” It’s a great unit to have when last minute plans are made as it can recharge its own battery in just 70 minutes by plugging into a wall outlet, with USB-C and car port plug-in options too. By taking advantage of the bundle option that also gives you a 160W solar panel at its lowest rate, you’ll also be able to utilize its solar charging capabilities that can refill the battery in up to 9 hours (it takes 3.5 to 4.5 hours using its max 220W input). There’s also the four AC ports, three USB-A ports, and only one of the USB-C ports to connect your devices and appliances to.

Hyper Jet Fuel Step-Over BMX e-bike

BMX with a boost on Hyper’s Jet Fuel step-over e-bike at new $535 low for today only

Through its Deals of the Day, Best Buy is offering the Hyper Jet Fuel Step-Over BMX e-bike for $534.99 shipped. Usually going for $1,000 most of the time, we’ve seen a handful of discounts that brought costs down lower, many of them direct from Hyper and cutting the price down from a higher $1,198 price tag to land between $900 and $1,000. We’ve seen two previous one-day discounts like today, with both of them dropping the price to the former $600 low, but today those rates are being beaten out by $65 to save you $465 in total and give you a new all-time low price.

BMX riders who want to add some electric assistance to their fun will find a durable combination in this 26-inch e-bike, which can support teens and adults up to 275 pounds. It has a 250W rear-hub motor powered by the integrated flush-mounted 36V 10.4Ah battery and three levels of pedal assistance up to max speeds of 20 MPH for up to 20 miles after four hours of charging. The nice thing is that the bike isn’t weighed down by too much equipment, meaning you can also ride it like any normal bike too. It’s been stocked with a few other features like the 26-inch multi-surface fat tires, front and rear disc brakes, a premium BMX padded saddle, and a simple handlebar-mounted controller for effortless setting adjustments.

Bojangles adds EV chargers to its fried chicken and biscuit menu

Bojangles, the North Carolina-based chain known for its fried chicken and biscuits, is joining the growing list of fast food chains installing EV chargers in their parking lots.

The restaurant chain is working with Smart Big Box, Alyath EV, and Energy and Environmental Design Services to install turnkey EV charging stations at a “wide range” of its 800 restaurants, which are concentrated heavily in the southeast US. The rollout starts in late 2025, with most chargers expected to be available by sometime in 2026.

Each Bojangles location getting EV chargers will offer at least four ports. The stations will vary between Level 2 and DC fast chargers. 

Bojangles CIO Richard Del Valle said, “Working with Alyath and Smart Big Box allows us to introduce a new convenience that aligns with evolving customer needs.”

It’s a smart move. The charging stations will let people plug in and power up, and they’re more likely to dine at Bojangles while they’re doing so. Plus, Bojangles will get a reputation for having charging stations, so EV drivers will be more inclined to head toward the restaurants as a reliable power source.

Cristiane Rosul, CEO of Alyath, said the partnership “not only benefits EV drivers but also positions Bojangles as a leader in the future of quick-service dining.”

Smart Big Box has contracted with Energy and Environmental Design Services as the exclusive installer and maintenance partner for all EV chargers.

Toyota cuts bZ4X lease price to just 9 a month, even cheaper than a Corolla

Toyota-bZ4X-lease-price

Toyota’s electric SUV is now its cheapest vehicle to lease. After slashing lease prices again, the Toyota bZ4X is listed for lease at just $199 per month in some states. That’s even cheaper than a Corolla right now, even though it’s nearly double the price.

Toyota bZ4X is now cheaper to lease than a Corolla

The 2025 Toyota bZ4X already starts at $6,000 cheaper than the previous model year, but with a new promotion this month, it’s even more affordable.

Toyota is at it again, having cut lease prices once more this month following the Fourth of July holiday. The 2025 Toyota bZ4X XLE is now listed at just $199 per month for 36 months. With $3,999 due at signing, you’ll end up paying an effective cost of $310 per month.

The offer is $42 less than before the new promo, or about a 12% price cut. It’s hard enough to find any lease nowadays around $300, but for an electric SUV, it’s a pretty good deal.

According to online auto research firm CarsDirect, it’s even cheaper to lease a bZ4X now in some states than a Toyota Corolla. The 2025 Corolla LE Sedan is available for $229 for 36 months. With $2,999 due at signing, the effective monthly rate is $312, or $2 more than the bZ4X.

Although $2 might not seem like much in the grand scheme of things, it’s pretty significant, given that the bZ4X is $16,000 more expensive.

The 2025 Toyota bZ4X XLE has an MSRP of $38,465, compared to the Corolla LE Sedan, which starts at $22,325. That’s a $16,140 cost difference alone.

Toyota’s electric SUV is slightly longer than a RAV4 at 184.6″ in length, but it has a longer wheelbase, which opens up more interior space.

Toyota is also throwing in a free year of unlimited charging (at EV-go-operated public charging stations) for those who buy or lease a new 2025 bZ4X. You can also add a ChargePoint home charger to the cost.

Although the bZ4X is available for just $199 per month, the 2025 Hyundai IONIQ 5 is listed at $179 nationwide this month. With more range, style, and an NACS port for charging at Tesla Superchargers, the 2025 IONIQ 5 offer is hard to pass up right now.

Like many carmakers, Toyota is currently offering significant incentives on electric vehicles, with the federal tax credit set to expire at the end of September. Accordingly, Toyota’s promotion ends on September 30. Although the bZ4X doesn’t qualify for the credit through purchase, Toyota is passing it on through leasing.

In some areas, like LA, Toyota is currently offering $12,000 off bZ4X leases. With the loss of the tax credit, the savings would drop to just $4,500, which would add over $100 a month to the lease price.

It turns out Tesla Canada’s shady $43m incentive grab was above-board after all

It turns out Tesla Canada's shady m incentive grab was above-board after all

Transport Canada has finished its investigation into Tesla’s questionable filing of $43 million worth of EV incentives in a single day, finding that the claims did indeed represent cars sold before the deadline to file for incentives – still raising questions about disorganization within Tesla.

To recap, Canada suddenly sunsetted its electric vehicle incentives back in January, as the program ran out of money. It caught a lot of EV dealers by surprise, and there was a sudden rush to sell cars and to file for incentives, given that the end of the program was announced with just three days notice.

One of these dealerships that showed a rush was a single Tesla dealership in Quebec, which recorded 4,000 rebate requests in a single weekend, an impossible number at the relatively small location. Other Tesla locations also filed for suspiciously high numbers of incentive claims on the same weekend.

This raised alarm bells, and other Canadian auto dealers pointed it out to Transport Canada, with Huw WIlliams, head of the Canadian Auto Dealers Association (CADA) claiming that Tesla “gamed the system” to hog an illegitimate number of incentive claims out of the limited money left. The total amount was $43 million, which was more than half of the amount left in the Canadian government’s coffers.

Even accounting for Tesla delivery pushes, and for increased sales as the credit rapidly sunset, these numbers did not seem possible.

This – perhaps combined with Tesla’s unpopular position in Canada at the time given CEO Elon Musk’s participation in a US government which was attacking Canada’s sovereignty at the time – led to Transport Canada announcing an investigation into Tesla’s incentive claims (Canadian Transport Minister Chrystia Freeland even said at the time that future Canadian ZEV incentives should exclude Tesla until the US’ “illegitimate and illegal” tariffs were lifted).

Tesla responded to the investigation in a typically standoffish manner, claiming in a letter that it was “shocked” to hear about the investigation, threatening legal action if payments weren’t resumed, and blaming Transport Canada for causing Tesla’s negative public perception and exposing Tesla’s Canadian employees to harassment (the letter did not, however, mention anything about CEO Musk’s government activities, or his recent actions attempting to spread white supremacy around the globe, and how those are much more responsible for negative public perception of the company).

Well now, the result of that investigation is back, and Freeland said on Friday that Tesla’s claims “were determined to legitimately represent cars sold before January 12.”

Transport Canada also pledged to CADA that all cars delivered before January 12 will have their incentive claims fulfilled, regardless of the program’s budget. CADA estimates it’s owed around $11 million in past-due claims, and Williams still wonders how Tesla knew to file those claims so suddenly.

Electrek’s Take

Questions still remain about this incentive. As pointed out by the Canadian Press, it’s still not clear whether Tesla’s incentive claims were for cars sold on that weekend, or for cars sold prior to that weekend and delivered all in a lump.

Given the physical limitations of the locations involved, it’s likely the latter. Which raises a different kind of alarm bell: that of disorganization within Tesla, as I pointed out as my main concern over this situation in a previous article.

I just don’t see how Tesla Canada can justify leaving tens of millions of dollars on the table for potentially several months, when all it took was the filing of some pieces of paper for them to get it. That’s capital that Tesla could have used to do business, and letting it sit in someone else’s bank account doesn’t benefit Tesla at all.

Now, disorganization is nothing new for Tesla, but businesses usually don’t like leaving money laying around for no reason. And Tesla, with its focus on quarterly results and end-of-quarter pushes, surely would have enjoyed having that extra cash in December, the end of a fiscal quarter/year, rather than the beginning of January when they filed for these incentives.

So regardless of the now proven legitimacy of these claims, this aspect should be cause for some amount of concern. It’s a reflection of a longtime problem in Tesla, where things tend to fall through the cracks until there’s some sort of emergency, and then it’s all-hands-on-deck from whoever happens to be closest to the problem at the time. But this has been an issue within Tesla for so long that it’s hard to see it being fixed at this point – and certainly not under its longtime CEO who seems far more interested in using Tesla to bail out his private companies or turning Twitter into “MechaHitler” than on making actual good decisions for Tesla.
