Rad Power’s reliable cargo-hauling RadWagon 4 e-bike drops to $1,599 with free gear

Rad Power has changed up its sale offerings with up to $300 being taken off three e-bikes through the rest of the month, while also offering bonus accessory gear. This time around the block sees the RadWagon 4 Cargo e-bike down at $1,599 shipped, plus giving you a free Ballard cargo bag along with it. Normally priced at $1,799, costs are usually brought down to this same $1,599 rate when it’s included in these sales. The price has only ever fallen lower twice before – once in summer 2023 when it dropped to $1,399 while the other was its $1,299 pre-order low in 2020 (which has never been repeated). This sale marks another chance to score it at the 2024 low price, with a combined $309 in savings when factoring in the free cargo bag that is valued at $109 – just be sure to add both to your cart to get the automatic discount.

Out of Rad Power’s EV lineup, the RadWagon 4 Cargo e-bike has been the main model I’ve consistently seen cruising around – often with parents/nannies using it to bus kids to and from appointments around NYC. The sturdy and durable frame comes with a 750W motor that is powered by a 672Wh battery and supported by five levels of pedal assistance, reaching top speeds of 20 MPH for up to 45+ miles on a single charge. You can also use just the half-twist throttle to coast on pure electric power, though keep in mind this lowers the expected travel distance to around 25+ miles.

It comes with a nice array of features to enhance the riding experience further, with a 7-speed Shimano derailleur, custom 22-inch by 3-inch tires with fenders to go over each, an integrated taillight that provides brake light functionality, a 200-lumen headlight, and the integrated rear cargo rack that can be used for packages, groceries, and passengers alike (with a 120-pound carrying capacity). It also has a water-resistant wiring harness that protects it from the weather, and a backlit LCD display that comes complete with a USB port to charge your phone as you cruise onward.

Aiper Surfer S1 solar robot pool skimmer

Let Aiper’s S1 solar-powered robot pool skimmer handle floating debris at new $300 low

Through its official Amazon storefront, Aiper is offering a Prime-exclusive deal on its S1 Solar-Powered Robot Pool Skimmer for $299.95 shipped. Normally priced at $470, this model has not seen many discounts since it was first released in January. We saw it get its first official discount during Memorial Day sales to $420, falling the next month to $400. It’s mainly kept above $400 since, with two dips to $376 in August and December, but today, you’re looking at the best deal we’ve seen yet as it gets a 36% markdown that cuts $170 off the price tag and lands it at a new all-time low price. You’ll also find it matching in price over from Aiper’s direct site.

While we are heading into fall and winter, this new low price certainly makes this a great opportunity to score the robot for heated pools, for folks living in relatively warm climates year-round, or even to get some earlier Christmas shopping done. Aiper’s S1 robot sports a brushless motor that keeps the paddle wheels going as the ultrasonic sensors direct it toward every floating piece of debris, insects, and more – collecting it into an easy-to-remove basket. While its battery only provides a 10-hour runtime, it’s been given solar charging capabilities along with a bonus DC charging port for those more overcast days, greatly reducing your need to get involved with it or with a common stick pool skimmer. There’s also the complete array of smart controls through its companion app that lets you monitor and change settings, and even manually steer it when needed.

More fall Aiper deals to take advantage of:

  • Seagull SE Cordless Robotic Pool Cleaner: $122 (Reg. $200)
    • for above-ground/in-ground pools up to 40 Feet
  • Seagull Pro Cordless Robotic Pool Cleaner: $500 (Reg. $800)
    • for in-ground pools up to 1,600 square-feet
  • Scuba S1 Cordless Robotic Pool Cleaner: $525 (Reg. $700)
    • for in-ground pools up to 1,600 square-feet
Segway Halloween sale

Segway’s Ninebot MAX G30LP KickScooter falls to $460 in Halloween sale

Segway has launched its Halloween sale through November 2 that is taking up to 60% off a lineup of its EVs, with the popular Ninebot MAX G30LP KickScooter down at $459.99 shipped. Down from an $800 price tag here, we saw discounts earlier in the year mainly drop costs between $615 and $600, with occasional falls further to $550 and $500. More recently, discounts have increased, with the brand’s Prime Day sales at the beginning of the month introducing a new $450 low. This new sale has cut $340 off the price tag, giving you the second-lowest price we have tracked, with it only sitting $10 above the all-time low, giving folks another strong opportunity to add it to their commute at one of its best prices.

Among Segway’s lineup, the Ninebot MAX G30LP KickScooter remains one of the best budget-friendly commuter solutions on the market for e-scooter lovers, which New Yorkers have seemed to take notice of, as I regularly see them cruising through the streets on any given day. Tucked inside is a 350W motor paired with a 36V 367Wh battery that provides it with a 25-mile travel range on a single charge, hitting top speeds of 18.6 MPH while tackling inclines up to 20% with no problem.

It features three riding modes to provide a more balanced riding experience depending on your commute needs: a speed limit mode, a standard mode, and a sport mode. Even in its sport mode, where speed is maximized at a lower travel range, the scooter’s regenerative brakes (which we need more of on e-scooter models) recycle energy when you activate the brakes to extend travel times, hitting their peak levels while in the speed limit mode. 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.

Camplux 27kW electric tankless water heater

Get 3-second-to-hot output with Camplux’s 27kW electric tankless water heater at $360

Coming to us through its official Amazon storefront, Camplux is offering 20% discounts across a range of electric tankless water heaters from 8kW to 27kW sizes. One of the best opportunities from the bunch is the largest 27kW model that is down at $359.99 shipped. Coming down from its usual $450 price tag after a year of few discounts, especially after ending 2023 at $350 during Black Friday and Christmas sales, we’ve mainly spotted it keeping above $380 when benefitting from price cuts, though August did see a rare drop to the new $304 low coming direct from Camplux’s site, which currently lists it at its MSRP. Today, you can add it to your home for reliable hot water at a solid $90 markdown off the going rate and the second-lowest price we have seen from Amazon – just $10 above last year’s winter holiday pricing and $56 above the all-time low.

With this 240V electric tankless water heater you’ll only be waiting for three seconds before receiving plenty of hot water for your shower. The low-consumption heating rod bolsters efficiency up to 99.8%, saving you up to 60% on your water-heating costs for your home. It features overheating protection, anti-dry heating protection, and water-electricity separation to provide you with a stable and consistent water temperature output. Installation takes under 3 hours, with Camplux promising an easy installation process compared to standard large gallon tanks – but keep in mind that it will require three 40A breakers, a wire gauge of 3X8 AWG, and a 3/4-inch NPT connection.

U.S. could reach deal with Canada that avoids oil and gas tariffs, energy secretary says

U.S. could reach deal with Canada that avoids oil and gas tariffs, energy secretary says

Energy Sec. Wright: We can get to no or very low tariffs, but it's got to be reciprocal

HOUSTON — The U.S. could reach an agreement with Canada that avoids tariffs on imports of oil, gas and other energy resources, Energy Secretary Chris Wright said Monday.

Wright said such a scenario is “certainly is possible” but “it’s too early to say” in response to a question from CNBC during a press conference at the CERAWeek by S&P Global. The U.S. is in “active dialogue” with Canada and Mexico, the energy secretary said.

President Donald Trump has paused until April 2 tariffs on Mexican and Canadian imports that are compliant with the agreement which governs trade in North America. Trump originally imposed broad 25% tariffs on goods from both countries as well as lesser 10% tariffs on energy imports from Canada.

It’s unclear, however, how much of the oil, gas and other energy that the U.S. imports from Canada is compliant with the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement. Wright declined to provide specifics when CNBC asked how much of those imports are USMCA compliant.

“I’m going to avoid the details for now,” Wright said. The energy secretary said, “We can get to no tariffs or very low tariffs but it’s got to be reciprocal” in an interview with CNBC’s Brian Sullivan.

Canada’s energy minister, Jonathan Wilkinson, warned last week that energy prices will rise in the U.S. if the tariffs on energy imports go into full effect.

“We will see higher gasoline prices as a function of energy, higher electricity prices from hydroelectricity from Canada, higher home heating prices associated with natural gas that comes from Canada and higher automobile prices,” Wilkinson told CNBC’s Megan Cassella in an interview.

The U.S. has been the largest producer of crude oil and natural gas in the world for years. But many refiners in the U.S. are dependent on heavy crude imported from Canada. The U.S. imported 6.6 million barrels of crude oil per day on average in December, more than 60% of which came from Canada, according to the Energy Information Administration.

Wright acknowledged that the tariffs are creating uncertainty in energy markets as negotiations continue.

“We’re in the middle of negotiations for where things are going to go with tariffs, so that feels frightening and gripping right now but this time will pass,” Wright said. “Deals will be made, we’ll get certainty and we’ll have a positive economic environment for Americans going forward.”

U.S. crude oil fell more than 1% Monday to close at $66.03 per barrel, while global benchmark Brent closed at $69.28 per barrel. Crude oil futures have pulled back substantially as Trump’s trade policy creates uncertainty and OPEC+ has confirmed that it plans to gradually bring back 2.2 million barrels per day of production beginning next month.

Apple Maps EV Routing adds Tesla Supercharger (NACS) support for Ford drivers – 9to5Mac

Apple Maps EV Routing adds Tesla Supercharger (NACS) support for Ford drivers - 9to5Mac

Apple is rolling out a notable update to Apple Maps EV Routing for Ford drivers. Starting today, Ford Mustang Mach-E and F-150 Lightning drivers can use Apple Maps EV Routing via CarPlay to plan road trips that include Tesla Superchargers – or any station that uses the North American Charging Standard (NACS) connector.

As I’ve explained before, Ford began shipping adapters CCS to NACS adapters that allow Mach-E and Lightning drivers to charge at Tesla Superchargers last year. Until today, however, Apple Maps was unaware of this change. This meant Apple Maps EV Routing would only route Mach-E and Lightning drivers to CCS charging stations, even though a route with Tesla Superchargers might’ve been more efficient.

With today’s change, Apple Maps via CarPlay will now include NACS fast charging stations, such as compatible Tesla Superchargers, in recommended route planning recommendations.

In a blog post, Ford explains:

Apple Maps EV Routing in CarPlay allows drivers to input their route and can view the estimated battery level they will have when they get to a destination, as well as suggested charging stations along the way if charging is needed. Previously, Mustang Mach-E and F-150 Lightning drivers would have to manually open another app, then enter a NACS fast charger as a destination to have it added to their route. Now, with the Apple Maps EV Routing and NACS fast charger integration, the experience will be more seamless.

How to Use Apple Maps EV Routing in CarPlay:

  • Connect your Apple iPhone to CarPlay.
  • Open Apple Maps, go to Settings, and confirm your preferred charging network(s) – make sure you select a NACS fast charging station, such as Tesla Supercharger. You only have to do this once.
  • Enter a destination.
  • Apple Maps will then calculate the estimated state of charge you will have when you get to a destination.
  • If a charge is required, depending on the fastest route, it will automatically route you to a NACS fast charging station.*

This is a significant update to the Apple Maps EV Routing experience for Ford drivers. Next up on my wishlist is support for battery preconditioning when using Apple Maps EV Routing. Android Auto added this feature last October.

The new feature is available now to iPhone users running iOS 17 or later. No software update is required for your car.

Tesla (TSLA) insider trading: Elon’s friend James Murdoch just unloaded $13 million

Tesla (TSLA) insider trading: Elon's friend James Murdoch just unloaded million

James Murdoch ShareAlike 2.0 Generic

James Murdoch, a Tesla board member and friend of CEO Elon Musk, has confirmed that he sold about $13 million in stock today as the stock (TSLA) crashed.

There has been a lot of insider trading at Tesla lately, and by trading, we mean selling – cause no insider is ever buying at Tesla.

We recently reported on Kimball Musk, Elon’s brother, and Tesla’s Chief Financial Officer Taneja Vaibhav recently selling ahead of a recent drop in the company’s stock price.

Tesla’s chairwoman, Robyn Denholm, also sold $33 million worth of Tesla shares last week and over $100 million in the last 3 months.

Now, it’s James Murdoch’s turn. The Tesla board member just confirmed, through a required SEC filing, that he sold 54,776 Tesla shares for just over $13 million today:

He sold as Tesla’s stock crashed 15% today. It is now down more than 50% from its all-time high just a few months ago.

Murdoch was appointed to Tesla’s board in 2017.

He is better known as the son of media mogul Rupert Murdoch and the former CEO of 21st Century Fox from 2015 to 2019.

Murdoch was one of the Tesla board directors who was forced to return almost $1 billion in cash and stock options to Tesla as part of a settlement for over-compensation.

Electrek’s Take

Tesla insiders are unloading, and those are just the ones we know about. Public companies only have to report insider trading for board directors and listed top executives.

For the latter, Tesla purposefully only lists 3 people: Elon, Vaibhav Taneja, Tesla’s CFO, and Tom Zhu, whose role at Tesla has bit quite fluid in recent years.

Therefore, we don’t know about the dozens of other top executives potentially selling their shares right now amid a giant correction.

It’s really suspicious because there are clear top leaders at Tesla who are often on Tesla’s earnings calls, and they are not even listed, like Lars Moravy, for example.

But it’s par for the course at Tesla, which has some of the worst corporate governance I have ever seen. It’s truly shameful.
