Tenways’ new 8-speed chain-drive CGO600 Pro e-bike launches at $1,399 low with bonus savings

Today, Tenways is launching its new chain version of the popular CGO600 Pro e-bike that is getting a $500 launch discount to $1,399 shipped, while its belt-drive model has risen to $1,699 shipped. It will hold the same $1,899 regular price tag as the belt-drive model, which often falls to $1,499 during sales, though we regularly see it down at $1,399 on occasion too. This makes this launch a great opportunity to grab a lightweight commuter at the best price that we can find since the brand hit our radar. You can learn about the changes this new model brings below, or you can learn more through our launch coverage.

The biggest update to Tenways’ new CGO600 Pro e-bike is the switch from the previous Gates carbon belt drive system to an 8-speed Shimano drivetrain, which offers the same rated performance specs as its counterpart. The other big switch up here is the addition of a new Tenways C9 350W rear hub motor over the belt-drive’s Mivice M080 350W motor, which again, claims the same general performance as before. All-in-all you’re still getting an extremely lightweight e-bike weighing between 37 to 41 pounds (depending on your accessory additions), with a 20 MPH top speed, four levels of pedal assistance supported by a torque sensor, and up to 53 miles of travel range on a single charge.

Aside from those big changes, Tenways’ new CGO600 Pro e-bike comes with the same Tektro dual-piston hydraulic disc brakes, puncture-proof tires, LED lighting, internally-routed cables, a compact OLED display, companion app integration – as well as four solid colorways on top of three different size options.

There’s also the added bonus deal that gets you a free mudguard set for the wheels alongside a kickstand (valued at $118) by simply subscribing to Tenways’ newsletter. If you happen to be a medical provider, military member, first responder, or teacher, you can follow the link on the page to get verified and receive an additional $150 off your purchase.

ecoflow Halloween flash sale

Alongside EcoFlow’s ongoing Halloween sale, the brand has launched the first of its scheduled 24-hour flash sales, with today’s offering the DELTA Pro Smart Extra Battery for $1,399 shipped. Normally priced at $2,799, it spent the first half of 2024 repeatedly falling to $1,599 with each discount, until July saw things fall a little lower to $1,499, followed the next month by a drop to $1,399. Since August we’ve seen it keep above $1,469, with today’s flash sale giving you another shot at the 50% markdown that not only returns costs to the all-time lowest price we have tracked but also lets you double up your existing DELTA Pro’s battery capacity for even longer-lasting backup power.

With EcoFlow’s DELTA Pro smart extra battery back at its lowest price, you’ll be getting the best deal to double your power station’s 3,600Wh LiFePO4 capacity to 7,200Wh, giving you longer-lasting backup power to cover off-grid camping needs, small business support (such as food truck appliances), and even powering your home necessities during sudden power outages. There’s a bright LCD screen for quick performance readouts at a glance or you can monitor and control everything from your personal devices through the EcoFlow app.

One thing to keep in mind here in terms of total home backup support – you’ll need to already have a few more DELTA Pro stations with their smart extra battery setups (up to the 25kWh maximum) alongside the transfer switch and power cord to carry your home’s entire breaker, or invest in a larger backup unit.

You’ll get the same recharging rates through this unit that you get with its power station counterpart, with the two sharing a 6,500W MultiCharge, letting them charge/discharge in unison once they’ve been connected together.

Be sure to check out the entire lineup of power stations, bundles, smart devices, and accessories that are benefitting from up to 51% off discounts through the rest of the month, with two more planned 24-hour flash sales on 26, and 29.

Tenways CGO600 Pro e-bike

Hiboy’s 68-mile trekking 2024 P7 Commuter e-bike hits new $850 low in Halloween sale

Hiboy has launched a Halloween sale that is taking up to $850 off a lineup of e-bikes and e-scooters through the rest of the month. A standout this time around is the brand’s new 2024 P7 Commuter Electric Bike which is down at $849.99 shipped. Normally carrying a $1,700 price tag, we saw the very first discount on this new model drop costs back at the end of August, with the brand’s Labor Day sales skipping over it entirely and other minor sales only returning it to $900. Today, prices have finally shifted lower as it receives a 50% markdown that saves you $850, beating out its previous low rate by $50 and landing it at a new all-time low price.

It’s nice to see this entry-level e-bike finally gaining some attention, as it offers an affordable rate alongside a more simplified riding experience that doesn’t take any specialized insights to judge. It delivers a 28 MPH top speed (beating out many higher-end models that cut out at 20/25MPH) with three riding modes that produce some solid commuting power. There’s the standard bike mode letting you pedal yourself, a power-assist mode that supports you to its top speed for up to 68 miles, or you can use the throttle by itself for up to 37 miles of cruising.

The streamlined frame houses the 500W brushless motor and the removable IPX5-rated waterproof 14.5Ah battery and weighs in at 56 pounds, making it a much more manageable model for smaller and less physically-endowed riders (plus it can handle riders up to 265 pounds). There’s a Multifunction LCD Display that gives you the usual at-a-glance data you expect on top of acting as a personal coach for those of you interested in getting back in shape, pushing you to outdo your previous days’ best. Other features include front shocks, 2.2-inch mountain tires, power-off front/rear disc brakes, and an IPX4 water-resistant frame rating.

Tenways CGO600 Pro e-bike

Coming to us through its official Amazon storefront, Goal Zero is giving us another shot at the best rate on its Yeti 1500X Portable Power Station at $779.89 shipped. While usually wearing a $1,300 price tag after falling from its original $1,800 MSRP over the summer, it has more recently kept between $1,100 to $1,234 on Amazon, with its bundle options seeing more frequent discounts than the standalone unit that usually sits for long periods at continuous rates. Today, you can take advantage of this unexpected return of the new low price we first saw a few weeks ago during Prime Day that saves you $520 off its going rate, beating out both Goal Zero’s direct site where it’s sitting at full price, and its previous low price by almost $200. The power station can be bundled with a 100W solar panel for $867 at the moment, or there’s a 200W solar panel bundle option down at $1,290.

Goal Zero’s Yeti 1500X power station delivers a reliable 1,516Wh capacity and an impressive 2,000W of power output (surging up to 3,500W) that can handle devices, appliances, and job site tool needs. For output ports, you’re looking at a nice spread of connection options with two AC ports, two USB-A ports, two USB-C ports, two 6mm ports, a regulated 12V port, and one car port. Recharging the battery back to full takes about 14 hours when plugged into a wall outlet, which can be dropped down to three hours when pairing alongside a Goal Zero Yeti X 600W Power Supply. You can also get the battery refueled by connecting the station to your car, as well as utilizing solar charging with up to 600W max input.

EGO Power+ snow blower

Prep for winter with $100 off an EGO Power+ 56V 21-inch cordless electric snow blower at $549

Amazon is offering more savings towards your winter prep with the EGO Power+ 56V 21-Inch Cordless Electric Snow Blower at $549 shipped. Usually priced at $649 most days, this model has only seen a handful of discounts this year, mostly keeping costs above $551, though we did spot a fall to the $519 low back in May. Today’s deal gives you a solid $100 slashed off the tag and the third-lowest price we have tracked – just $30 above the all-time low.

Winter prep has begun and with the solid savings on this EGO Power+ 56V cordless electric snow blower, it’s a good time to expand your arsenal with quality support. The model’s brushless motor comes powered by two 4.0Ah batteries, giving you the power to clear a 21-inch wide path while chucking the unwanted snow up to 35 feet away. The batteries are rated to give you enough charge to clear out an 8-car driveway that is coated with up to 8 inches of snow on a single charge. It features a steel auger that breaks through thicker ice, with a variable speed control for comfortable handling – plus, there are two bright LED headlights for visibility during jobs in low-lighting hours.

If you want some solid snow-clearing equipment that is on the smaller (and cheaper) side, Amazon is also offering the EGO Power+ Multi-Head Shovel Snow Blower Kit for $349, down from $399. This tool provides a 12-inch wide clearing with the battery giving you enough life to clear out a 4-car driveway that is covered in up to 6 inches of snow – tossing it up to 25 feet out of the way. What’s best is that this package is an exclusive part of the Multi-Head system that allows for interchangeable attachments for various jobs, saving you time and space over having individual tools. If you already have the Power Head, you can find just the snow blower attachment discounted at $159. And for all the snow-clearing options that EGO Power+ provides, head to the landing page here to browse it all in full.

Greenworks 3000 PSI electric pressure washer combo kit

Save $280 on Greenworks’ Pro-tier 3,000 PSI electric pressure washer combo kit at $399 for today only

Through its Deals of the Day, Best Buy is offering the Greenworks 3,000 PSI Electric Pressure Washer Combo Kit for $399 shipped. Normally going for $679 at full price, it’s mostly kept to its MSRP throughout 2024, with savings occasionally coming in the form of longer-term discounts while mostly appearing as part of these one-day sales. It did drop to the $310 low back at the start of the year, but that discount hasn’t reappeared, with the months since seeing drops between $349 and $449. Today, you can score it for your arsenal at a solid 41% discount that saves you $280 off its going rate – $89 above the elusive all-time low. You won’t currently find this combo kit at Amazon either.

This pro-tier Greenworks electric pressure washer arrives with a 14A Trubrushless motor housed within a heavy-duty mobile frame and delivers up to 3,000 PSI of grime-clearing power at up to a 2.0 GPM flow rate. Alongside the onboard storage for the 25 feet of non-marring hose and five nozzle attachments, there’s also a one-gallon detergent tank for extra cleaning support too. As this is a combo kit, you’ll also be receiving an additional short gun kit, microfiber mitts, and a 15-inch surface cleaner to really maximize its potential. If you aren’t concerned with getting the additional gear, Best Buy also has the standard pressure washer package down from $450 to $300.

U.S. crude oil prices fall more than 4% after OPEC+ agrees to surge production in June

U.S. crude oil prices fall more than 4% after OPEC+ agrees to surge production in June

U.S. crude oil futures fell more than 4% on Sunday, after OPEC+ agreed to surge production for a second month.

U.S. crude was down $2.49, or 4.27%, to $55.80 a barrel shortly after trading opened. Global benchmark Brent fell $2.39, or 3.9%, to $58.90 per barrel. Oil prices have fallen more than 20% this year.

The eight producers in the group, led by Saudi Arabia, agreed on Saturday to increase output by another 411,000 barrels per day in June. The decision comes a month after OPEC+ surprised the market by agreeing to surge production in May by the same amount.

The June production hike is nearly triple the 140,000 bpd that Goldman Sachs had originally forecast. OPEC+ is bringing more than 800,000 bpd of additional supply to the market over the course of two months.

Oil prices in April posted the biggest monthly loss since 2021, as U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariffs have raised fears of a recession that will slow demand at the same time that OPEC+ is quickly increasing supply.

Oilfield service firms such as Baker Hughes and SLB are expecting investment in exploration and production to decline this year due to the weak price environment.

“The prospects of an oversupplied oil market, rising tariffs, uncertainty in Mexico and activity weakness in Saudi Arabia are collectively constraining international upstream spending levels,” Baker Hughes CEO Lorenzo Simonelli said on the company’s first-quarter earnings call on April 25.

Oil majors Chevron and Exxon reported first-quarter earnings last week that fell compared to the same period in 2024 due to lower oil prices.

Goldman is forecasting that U.S. crude and Brent prices will average $59 and $63 per barrel, respectively, this year.

Chicago plans more, and more equitable public charging as EV sales climb

Chicago plans more, and more equitable public charging as EV sales climb

More public EV charging, including curbside, envisioned in Chicago plan

Electric vehicles’ share of the market continues to climb in America’s second city, with BEV registrations up more than 50% in the first quarter of 2025 compared with the same period last year. Great news, but charging hasn’t up – but a new plan from Chicago Department of Transportation aims to build up enough infrastructure for the city to keep up.

In a bid to keep up with the rapid growth of EVs, Chicago Department of Transportation (CDOT is currently seeking public feedback on a plan called “Chicago Moves Electric Framework.” The city’s first such plan, it outlines initiatives that include a curbside charging pilot through the city’s utility, ComEd, and expanded charging access in key areas throughout the city.

Unlike other such plans, however, the new plan aims to focus on bringing electric vehicle charging to EIEC and low income communities, too.

“Through this framework, we are setting clear goals and identifying solutions that reflect the voices of our residents, communities, and regional partners,” said CDOT Commissioner Tom Carney. “By prioritizing equity and public input, we’re creating a roadmap for electric transportation that serves every neighborhood and helps drive down emissions across Chicago.”

Neighborhoods on the south and west sides of Chicago experience a disproportionate amount of air pollution and diesel emissions, largely due to vehicle emissions according to CDOT. Despite that, most of Chicago’s public charging stations are clustered in higher-income areas while just 7.8% are in environmental justice neighborhoods that face higher environmental burdens.

“Too often, communities facing the greatest economic and transportation barriers also experience the most air pollution,” explains Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson. “By prioritizing investments in historically underserved areas and making clean transportation options more affordable and accessible, we can improve both mobility and public health.”

The Framework identifies other near-term policy objectives, as well – such as streamlining the EV charger installation process for businesses and residents and implementing “Low-Emission Zones” in areas disproportionately impacted by air pollution by limiting, or even restricting, access to conventional medium- and heavy-duty vehicles during peak hours.

The Chicago Moves Electric Framework includes the installation of Level 2 and DC fast charging stations in public locations such as libraries and Chicago’s Midway Airport, “supporting not only personal EVs but also electric taxis, ride-hail and commercial fleets.”

Chicago has a goal of installing 2,500 public passenger EV charging stations and electrifying the city’s entire municipal vehicle fleet by 2035.

Electrek’s Take

Chicago Drives Electric | ComEd Press Conference

I hate to sound like a bed-wetting liberal here, guys, but Chicago is getting EVs absolutely right with big utility incentives on both vehicles and infrastructure, a governor willing to stand behind smart environmental policy, and a solid push for more and better infrastructure in the areas where they’ll do the most good. They’re even thinking of the children.

Here’s hoping more cities follow suit.

Meet Bodo – the 35 mph electric golf cart that thinks it’s a G-Wagen

Meet Bodo – the 35 mph electric golf cart that thinks it's a G-Wagen

Bodo G-Wagon electric golf cart; via Mecum Auctions.

With a fully-enclosed, G-Wagen-inspired body and an 80 mile electric range, the Bodo G-Wagon golf cart is the NEV you need when you decide it’s time to get serous one-upping the rest of the Palm Beach country clubbers.

If you love the look of the $230,000 Mercedes-Benz G580 off-roader, but think the 579 hp, 6,800 lb. electric 4×4 is probably overkill for occasional trips to the golf course and country club, this G-Wagen-inspired golf cart might be just what you’re looking for.

The shiny black 2024 Bodo G-Wagon sold at Mecum Auctions last month for $31,900, which seems like it might not be a lot of money to the sort of person who decides to take a flyer on a goofy, limited-use EV that ships with real, metal doors, power windows, heating and air conditioning, fully digital instrument cluster and infotainment, and a “posh,” caramel leather interior.

It even has windshield wipers, power steering, and a rear-seat entertainment system that’s built into the front headrests!

It’s really nice in there

Under the hood, the Bodo packs a 15 kW (20 hp) electric motor drawing power from a 10 kWh li-ion battery that won’t deliver a scorching 0-60 mph time (it only goes 35), but will deliver you and your buddies from one end of any golf course in North America and back several times over, thanks to the G-Wagon’s 80 mile range.

The official Mecum Auctions listing goes into a bit more detail, and I’ve included it here, in case it gets deleted after a while and you’re just finding this for the first time in 2027:

Be the envy of any country club or golf community showing up with this 2024 Bodo G-Wagon Golf Cart. Perhaps more appropriately known as an E-Wagon, this baby G-Wagon is powered by a 15kW motor with a 10kWh lithium battery. Boasting an 80-mile range and a 35 MPH top speed, the Bodo is an enclosed, luxury golf cart that pampers occupants with heating and air conditioning, rear-seat entertainment, power windows, power locks and a posh, caramel-colored interior. With the Bodo fitted with power steering and 4-wheel power disc brakes with brake boost, drivers will think they’re in a full-size G-Wagon, thanks to the multiscreen entertainment cluster, the rearview camera, windshield wipers, turn signals, running lights and so much more.

Finished in black with the right amount of brightwork, the overall vibe is one of jaw-dropping, smile-inducing fun. While the Bodo would be an excellent choice for any golf community, it should also prove to be hugely popular around a race track or car condo community as well, or maybe even a neighborhood with its own airplane runways. Over the past decade in particular, the demand for unique, luxury golf carts has been on the rise, and understandably so. The number of luxury communities with specific interests in sports, aero and auto has also been on the rise, with people buying homes in these exclusive locations to better engage with like-minded people. All too often a golf cart is the perfect way to get around these gated neighborhoods, and this one is enclosed, comes with the amenities of a full-size car and is infinitely more stylish.

MECUM AUCTIONS

You can check out a few more photos of the 2024 Bodo G-Wagon golf cart that sold at Mecum, below – and if you want one for yourself, you’re in luck! I found this brand-new 2025 “G600 E-Wagon” (in white) for $23,900 at Gulf Carts in Santa Rosa Beach, Florida. Head on down to the comments and let us know if you buy it.
