Our Green Deals today mark both the last of Halloween savings while also ushering in the first Black Friday deals. Tenways has launched its November savings across its lineup of e-bikes, with the CGO600 Pro e-bike dropping to a new $1,299 low and getting free gear too. It’s the last day for Lectric’s 48-hour Spooky Sale which is taking up to $446 off a selection of e-bike bundles and also giving away a pair of mystery gifts in proper Halloween fashion. Next, we have the first discounts on Anker’s SOLIX C300 DC and AC 90,000mAh Solar Generator bundles, as well as two one-day sales to low prices on Worx’s 80V Nitro LEAFJET backpack leaf blower and the popular Greenworks 1,900 PSI pressure washer combo kit. Plus, all the other hangover Green Deals in the links at the bottom of the page, like yesterday’s ENGWE Halloween sale that will be closing out soon, the exclusive Bluetti AC180P power station low, and 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.

Tenways early access Black Friday sale takes $600 off the 37-pound CGO600 Pro e-bike at new $1,299 low

Tenways has given riders early access to its Black Friday pricing, taking up to $600 off its lineup of e-bikes and giving away free gear too, with the biggest of these discounts being on its belt-drive CGO600 Pro e-bike for $1,299 shipped, while the new 8-speed chain-drive model is down at $1,399 shipped. This model is usually priced at $1,899 most days and we’ve seen a few different discounts drop the price since its release back towards the end of 2023, often to $1,499 or higher, though there have been a few falls to $1,399. You can take advantage of this early $600 markdown now and save yourself the trouble of typical Black Friday concerns while it’s down at a new all-time low price – plus, you’re also getting free mudguards and a kickstand valued at $118. Head below to learn more about this lightweight commuter, or read our hands-on review.

The 37-pound Tenways CGO600 Pro e-bike is an ideal fit for riders who enjoy active cycling, but want some added electric support, which is provided by the 350W rear hub motor and 360Wh battery. As there is no throttle for pure electric cruising, the battery comes in smaller than normal, also contributing to the lessened weight, among other design factors, but you’ll still get four levels of pedal-assisted boosts (utilizing a torque sensor) up to a top speed of 20 MPH for up to 53 miles.

The lower-priced model includes the Gates carbon belt drive, providing quieter operation while also tossing out any concerns you may have over rusting. On the other side of the design is Tenways’ new 8-speed CGO600 Pro-C e-bike that trades in the belt drive for an 8-speed Shimano drivetrain and upgrades the motor to the brand’s new Tenways C9 350W rear hub model, offering the same performance as before. Both of these e-bikes come with the same stock of commendable features, including internally routed cables for a streamlined look, LED lighting, puncture-proof tires, Tektro dual-piston hydraulic brakes, and a compact OLED display for controls.

Tenways Black Friday e-bike deals:

  • CGO800S Step-Thru Commuter e-bike: $1,499 (Reg. $1,999)
    • 20 MPH for up to 53 miles
    • Turn-signaling and color display

Lectric Halloween flash sale

Lectric’s flash sale takes up to $446 off e-bike bundles from $999 with mystery gifts through Halloween

Lectric has launched its 48-hour Spooky Sale that ends along with the month, offering larger bundles of free gear (including two mystery gifts) with your purchase from a selection of the brand’s e-bikes. One of the best options among the bunch is the XP 3.0 Long-Range e-bikes that are getting $438 in free gear for $1,199 shipped. Normally this bundle would cost you $1,637, but as is common in these sales, the savings are entirely on the free included goodies. You’ll be getting a front rack, a small basket to go on it, and a larger basket for the rear rack, along with a bottle-shaped bike lock and its appropriate bottle holder, as well as the pair of bonus mystery gifts that you’ll get with your order.

The three versions of Lectric’s XP 3.0 long-range e-bikes all come with the same 500W hub motor that is powered by the internal 48V battery. Utilizing the five pedal assistance levels on these models provides a travel range of up to 65 miles on a single charge (30 miles when only using the throttle), with speeds topping out at 20 MPH. Along with the add-on gear that you’ll be getting to expand its carrying capabilities, you’ll also get a bunch of stock features that are really hard to beat at such a low price, with the integrated rear cargo rack, puncture-resistant tires, and 180mm hydraulic disc brakes as particular highlights. That’s not all though, as you’ll also enjoy having the headlight, taillight, and LCD display – plus, its body folds up to make storing and transporting it far less of a hassle.

The Lectric ONE e-bike with $446 in free gear

XP 3.0 Standard e-bikes with $423 in free gear

XP Trike with $393 in free gear

XPress 750 Commuter e-bikes with $365 in free gear

XP Lite 2.0 Long-Range e-bikes with $316 in free gear

And be sure to check out the other offers that are still live from Lectric’s autumn sale if none of these spooky, mystery deals don’t catch your curiosity, like the XPedition dual-battery e-bikes that can carry you and your precious cargo up to 150 miles on a single charge.

CGO600 Pro e-bike

First discounts save up to $100 on Anker’s SOLIX C300 solar generator bundles with 60W panels from $240

Coming through Anker’s official Amazon storefront, we just spotted the first discounts on the brand’s SOLIX C300 90,000mAh solar generator bundles that include a 60W panel, with the DC model’s bundle at $239.99 shipped, after clipping the on-page $60 off coupon, while the AC model’s bundle is going for $269.99 shipped, after clipping the on-page $100 off coupon. These two package deals are priced at $300 and $370, respectively, with these deals being the first chance to score them with cash savings, giving you a 20% and 27% markdown while allowing you to take advantage of the units’ solar charging capabilities.

Anker’s two new SOLIX C300 power stations arrive in a far more compact form factor that weighs in from six to nine pounds, with both delivering a 90,000mAh/288Wh LiFePO4 battery capacity. The DC model provides up to 300W output speeds, with its two bi-directional 140W USB-C ports able to work together to achieve 280W self-recharging speeds. There are seven ports in total with this unit, as well as an integrated LED light that pops out of its top to illuminate dark spaces, whether indoor or outdoor. The AC model throws out the dual-USB recharging to reach similar speeds as the DC when plugged into your wall outlet, sporting three AC ports, as well as three USB-Cs, one USB-A, and a car port. It doesn’t sport a pop-up light but does feature a light bar above its display.

If you would instead prefer a bundle that gives you these station’s full 100W solar input over the above 60W bundles, you’ll find those options coming only direct from Anker, with the DC bundle currently at $379, down from $499, while the AC bundle is at $409, down from $549. You can also check out the entirety of Anker’s direct Halloween sale here, which ends November 3.

Worx 80V Nitro LEAFJET Backpack Blower

Worx’s 80V Nitro LEAFJET cordless electric backpack blower delivers 800 CFM at $400 low (Today only)

As part of its large Deals of the Day collection, Best Buy is offering the Worx 80V Nitro LEAFJET Cordless Electric Backpack Leaf Blower for $399.99 shipped. Normally fetching $700 most days, while we have been seeing fluctuating prices on this tool over the year, it’s mostly kept above $549 until more recently. Over the summer we saw prices come down and level out around $500, with Prime Day at the top of this month bringing costs down further to the $400 low, which is repeating again here today. You’re looking at a solid $300 being slashed from the price tag, giving you the opportunity to score it for your arsenal at the lowest price we have seen. You’ll also find this same model matched in price over at Amazon.

The Nitro LEAFJET blower from Worx comes powered by four 20V 4.0Ah Power Share batteries that can be interchanged with other tools in the brand’s ecosystem. Its brushless motor delivers 800 CFM of air volume, pushing airflow up to 150 MPH worth of force to more easily clear out leaves and debris in your yard and around your home. It features a variable speed control which is pretty standard, but also includes a turbo mode when you need the extra power, with all this adding better handling while its compact design allows more versatility among folks of different sizes. It comes with a base camp power source that can not only be removed but also charges all four batteries while being compatible with other Worx 80V tools.

CGO600 Pro e-bike

Get a reliable clean in compact form with Greenworks’ 1,900 PSI electric pressure washer kit at $100 (Today Only)

Coming through its Deals of the Day, Best Buy is offering the popular Greenworks 1900 PSI Electric Pressure Washer Combo Kit for $99.99 shipped. This one-day-only discount is bringing costs down from the usual $220 price tag, joining with the trend we’ve been seeing this year where these limited sales have become the most frequent way to get major cash savings. The deal today saves you a solid $120 and lowers the price to the third-lowest rate we have tracked – just $10 above the all-time low that we last saw in September. The closest to this deal that you can find on Amazon delivers lesser PSI strength without as much gear and for a higher $140 price.

This electric pressure washer from Greenworks is one of the best models if you also desire compact portability, tossing out the heavier frames of counterpart washers while still delivering a reliable 1,900 PSI at a 1.2 GPM flow rate. The washer itself will continue saving you money over time as the brand’s Total Stop System shuts off the pump upon the trigger being disengaged to save energy and extend the pump’s lifespan. You’ll also be getting more gear with this kit than the normal combo, with 20 feet of non-marring hose, four varying nozzles that have their own convenient storage spots, and a surface cleaner attachment that boosts its cleaning potential.

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.

YMX Logistics deploys 20 new Orange EV electric yard trucks

YMX Logistics deploys 20 new Orange EV electric yard trucks

YMX Logistics and Orange EV Join Forces to Deliver Zero Emission Transportation Solutions to Yard Operations Across North America

Leading yard operation 3PL YMX Logistics has announced plans to deploy fully twenty (20) of Orange EV’s fully electric Class 8 terminal trucks at a number of distribution and manufacturing sites across North America.

As the shipping and logistics industries increasingly move to embrace electrification, yard operations have proven to be an almost ideal use case for EVs, enabling companies like Orange EV, which specialize in yard hostlers or terminal tractors, to drive real, impactful change. To that end, companies like YMX are partnering with Orange EV.

“This relationship between YMX and Orange EV is a significant step forward in transforming yard operations across North America,” said Matt Yearling, CEO of YMX Logistics. “Besides the initial benefits of reduction in emissions and carbon footprint, our customers are also seeing improvements in the overall operational efficiency and seeking to expand. Our team members have also been sharing positive feedback about their new equipment and highlighting the positive impact on their health and day-to-day activities.”

This Orange looks good in blue

One of the most interesting aspects of this story – beyond the Orange EV HUSK-e XP’s almost unbelievable 180,000 lb. GCWR spec. – is that this isn’t a story about California’s ports, which mandate EVs. Instead, YMX is truly deploying these trucks throughout the country, with at least four currently in Chicago (and more on the way).

“Our collaboration with YMX Logistics represents a powerful stride in delivering sustainable yard solutions at scale for enterprise customers,” explains Wayne Mathisen, CEO of Orange EV. “With rising demand for electric yard trucks, our joint efforts ensure that more companies can access the environmental, financial, and operational benefits of electrification … this is a win for the planet, the workforce, and the bottom line of these organizations.”

We interviewed Orange EV founder Kurt Neutgens on The Heavy Equipment Podcast a few months back, but if you’re not familiar with these purpose-built trucks, it’s worth a listen.

One of the US’s first solar peaker plants – with Tesla Megapacks – just came online

Arevon Energy has kicked off operations at Vikings Solar-plus-Storage – one of the US’s first utility-scale solar peaker plants.

The $529 million project in Imperial County, California, near Holtville, features 157 megawatts of solar power paired with 150 megawatts/600 megawatt hours of battery storage.

Vikings Solar-plus-Storage is designed to take cheap daytime solar power and store it for use during more expensive peak demand times, like late afternoons and evenings. The battery storage system can quickly respond to changes in demand, helping tackle critical grid needs.

Vikings leverages provisions in the Inflation Reduction Act that support affordable clean energy, strengthen grid resilience, boost US manufacturing, and create good jobs.

The Vikings project has already brought significant benefits to the local area. It employed over 170 people during construction, many local workers, and boosted nearby businesses like restaurants, hotels, and stores. On top of that, Vikings will pay out more than $17 million to local governments over its lifespan.

“Vikings’ advanced design sets the standard for safe and reliable solar-plus-storage configurations,” said Arevon CEO Kevin Smith. “The project incorporates solar panels, trackers, and batteries that showcase the growing strength of US renewable energy manufacturing.”

The project includes Tesla Megapack battery systems made in California, First Solar’s thin-film solar panels, and smart solar trackers from Nextracker. San Diego-based SOLV Energy handled the engineering, procurement, and construction work.

San Diego Community Power (SDCP) will buy the energy from the Vikings project under a long-term deal, helping power nearly 1 million customer accounts. SDCP and Arevon have also signed an agreement for the 200 MW Avocet Energy Storage Project in Carson, California, which will start construction in early 2025.

Vikings is named after the Holtville High School mascot, and Arevon is giving back to the local community by funding scholarships for deserving Holtville High students.

Arevon is a major renewable energy developer across the US and a key player in California, with nearly 2,500 MW in operation and more than 1,250 MW under construction.
