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.

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

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.

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!

Dealers are slashing prices on 2025 Kia Niro EV, nearly 25% off!

Dealers are slashing prices on 2025 Kia Niro EV, nearly 25% off!

Kia Niro EV deals; electric kia discount

Just like it says on the tin – retailers are advertising killer deals on the fun-to-drive Kia Niro EV, with one midwest auto dealer reporting more than $10,000 off the sticker price of the Niro EV Wind. That’s nearly 25% off the top line price!

SKIP THE STORY: get straight to the deals.

The Kia Niro EV gets overshadowed by its objectively excellent EV6 and EV9 stablemates – both of which are currently available with substantial lease cash and 0% APR financing, in fact – but that doesn’t mean it’s not an excellent little electric runabout in its own right.

The last time I had a Niro EV tester, my kids loved it, I liked that it was quicker and more tossable than I expected it to be, and my wife liked the fact that “it doesn’t look electric. It looks normal.” And, with well over 200 miles of real world range (EPA-rated range is 253 miles), it was more than up to the task of commuting around Chicago and making the trip up to the Great Wolf Lodge in Gurnee and back without even needing to look for a charger.

It’s not the primary family hauler I’d choose – but as a second car? As a primary car for a slightly smaller family (1-2 kids, instead of 3-4)? The Kia Niro EV Wind, with a $42,470 MSRP, seems like a solid, “can’t go wrong” sort of choice. You know?

You won’t even have to pay that much, though. Raymond Kia in Antioch, Illinois is advertising a $42,470 Niro EV for $32,431 (that’s $10,039, or about 24% off the MSRP), and several others are advertising prices in the $33,000 range.

And, while we’re at it:

Lion Electric leaves US school districts stuck with unsafe, broken buses

Lion Electric leaves US school districts stuck with unsafe, broken buses

Canada's Mach in talks to help rescue electric bus maker Lion

Many school districts who used EPA funding to help purchase Lion Electric school buses are now stuck with broken down or unsafe vehicles – but Lion’s new Canadian investors seemingly have no plans to make things right.

“All four Lion buses that we own are currently parked and not being used,” Coleen Souza, interim transportation director of Winthrop Public Schools, told Jay Traugott over at Clean Trucking. “Two of them are in need of repairs which would cost us money which we are not willing to invest in because the buses do not run for more than a month before needing more repairs.”

The story is much the same at other US school districts who deployed Lion Electric buses over the last few years – and the trouble they describe isn’t isolated to a single component or system. One district we spoke to had onboard chargers that failed almost immediately after being plugged into a L2 AC charger. Another that spoke to Traugott reported emergency door gaps, power steering failure, loss of power, and braking issues.

As bad as the revelations of safety and drivability issues and $250 million in unresolved debt have been, it’s the objectively stupid design choices that have been the most shocking.

“Lion built an auxiliary diesel heater to heat the bus, essentially writing the manual as they went,” explained a school superintendent in the midwest, who asked not to be named. “It was fascinating to watch but there were design flaws with the heater. For example, the intakes pointed downward and we’re driving across rural roads and the intake sucks in that dirt.”

“Using a diesel-powered heater to warm an electric bus also somewhat defeats the purpose of going 100% zero-emissions,” added Traugott.

Despite a new electric school bus rebate and a fresh cash injection from Vincent Chiara, president of Quebec real estate powerhouse Groupe MACH, and Lion director Pierre Wilkie, however, it seems like no help is coming.

It just gets worse and worse

Despite early speculation – some of it my own, in fact – that the new investors would take the Canadian government up on its offer to help subsidize more electric school bus production and honor the company’s outstanding warranty claims, it appears the only vehicle line the new investors are interested in reviving are the the Class 8 electric semi manufacturing operations in Saint-Jérôme, Quebec.

The US school districts who spent tens of millions of taxpayer dollars in the hopes that Lion buses would help decarbonize their fleets and reduce students’ exposure to harmful diesel emissions? Many of them are back to using diesel, while others are trying to get their deposits back so they can buy something else.

Here’s hoping any school districts on the fence for electrification recognize that their are very real, very well-engineered, and very financially sound electric school bus manufacturers out there who can deliver on their promises.

Mitsubishi debuts EV battery swap network for cars AND trucks in Tokyo

Mitsubishi debuts EV battery swap network for cars AND trucks in Tokyo

Mitsubishi Fuso and Ample to partner on battery-swapping technology for electric trucks

Mitsubishi is partnering with Ample and Yamoto Transports to deploy an innovative new battery swap network for electric cars in its Japanese home market — but it’s not just for electric cars. Mitsubishi Fuso commercial trucks are getting in on the action, too!

Despite a number of early EV adopters with an overdeveloped concept of ownership, battery swap technology has proven to be both extremely effective and extremely positive to the overall EV ownership experience. And when you see how simple it is to add hundreds of miles of driving in just 100 seconds — quicker, in many cases, than pumping a tank of liquid fuel into an ICE-powered car — you might come around, yourself.

That seems to be what Mitsubishi thinks, anyway, and they’re hoping they’ll be your go-to choice when it’s time to electrify your regional and last-mile commercial delivery fleet(s) by launching a multi-year pilot program to deploy more than 150 battery-swappable commercial electric vehicles and 14 modular battery swapping stations across Tokyo, where the company plans to showcase its “five minute charging” tech in full view of hundreds of commercial fleets and, crucially, the executives of the companies that own and manage them.

How battery swap works for electric trucks

A truck like the Mitsubishi eCanter typically requires a full night of AC charging to top off its batteries, and at least an hour or two on DC charging in Japan, according to Fuso. This joint pilot by Mitsubishi, Mitsubishi Fuso Trucks, and Ample aims to circumvent this issue of forced downtime with its swappable batteries, supporting vehicle uptime by delivering a full charge within minutes. The move is meant to encourage the transport industry’s EV shift while creating a depository of stored energy that can be deployed to the grid in the event of a natural disaster — something Mitsubishi in Japan has been working on for years.

Trucks like the eCanter already serve a number of roles throughout the global truck market, including municipal waste collection, regional delivery support, and more.

The pilot is backed by Tokyo Metropolitan Government’s “Technology Development Support Project for Promoting New Energy,” with local delivery operator Yamato Transport testing swappable EVs for delivery operations on both its eCanter light-duty trucks and Mitsubishi Minicab kei-class electric vans.

Electrek’s Take

Fuso eCanter battery swap; via Mitsubishi.

Electrifying the commercial truck fleet is a key part of decarbonizing city truck fleets – not just here in the US, but around the world. I called the eCanter, “a great product for moving stuff around densely packed city streets,” and eliminating the corporate fear of EV charging in the wild just makes it an even better product for that purpose.

Here’s hoping we see more “right size” electric solutions like this one (and more battery swapping tech) in small towns and tight urban environments stateside somewhat sooner than later.
