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.

Heybike’s Cityrun commuter e-bike carries you up to 55 miles of travel on a four-hour charge at $999 low

Looking back in on Heybike’s ongoing early Black Friday sale, we spotted another great deal on the brand’s Cityrun Urban Commuter e-bike for $999 shipped. Normally priced at $1,599, we mainly saw it fall to $1,199 during the first half of the year’s sales events, with that price dropping further to $1,099 as the months went on. During this Black Friday sale, you’re looking at the best rate we have seen so far, as it’s coming with a 38% markdown that slashes $600 off the price tag and lands it at the lowest price we have tracked. Along with your purchase, you’ll also be getting some free gear in the form of a large basket and a Black Friday gift pack.

Heybike’s Cityrun commuter e-bike arrives sporting a 500W brushless geared hub motor (peaking at 1,000W) and a large 720Wh battery that propels the model up to top speeds of 21 MPH with a 55-mile max travel range on one full four-hour charge (achieved thanks to the higher-power 4A charger). There are three levels of pedal assistance here supported by a torque sensor, which is nice to see, and it comes with some impressive features for its price range, with the usual cheaper options we see, like mechanical disc brakes, instead replaced by hydraulic disc brakes on top of the hydraulic suspension front fork too.

Heybike’s Cityrun e-bike also has a 7-speed Shimano derailleur, 26-inch by 2.5-inch tires with fenders over each, an automatic LED headlight and taillight with turn signals, a rear cargo rack, and a smart LCD display. While it does weigh in a bit hefty at 62 pounds, for the price it is a well-stocked option that won’t weigh so heavily on your wallet while providing a solid commuting solution for your daily life.

Amazon has ENGWE’s E26 dual suspension all-terrain e-bike hitting a new $849 low

Outside of ENGWE’s Black Friday sale, we just noticed Amazon offering the brand’s E26 Dual Suspension All-Terrain e-bike at $849 shipped. More recently sitting at $1,049 at Amazon despite its $1,299 price tag, as well as the $1,399 MSRP direct from ENGWE, we’ve mainly seen this model in 2024 dropping between $999 and $1,199 on average. We last saw prices down at $899 during ENGWE’s Halloween sale, which Amazon is beating out here today for a new all-time low price. This $550 markdown (off the full MSRP from ENGWE) is giving you the lowest price we have seen anywhere – with the brand’s Black Friday sale beaten by $50. You can learn more below or in our review.

You’ll find both the step-over and step-thru frames for ENGWE’s E26 e-bike benefitting from this discount today, with either model offering up an affordable means for longer commutes, depending on how you choose to ride. The 750W brushless motor peaks at 1,000W to provide up to 70Nm of torque for inclines while producing top speeds of 28 MPH. The removable 48V 16Ah battery sees to it that you get 30 to 40 miles while only using the throttle, or you can get up to 87 miles when utilizing the pedal assistance. There are also some surprisingly solid features considering the low price, with a dual suspension for smoother riding, hydraulic disc brakes for guaranteed stopping power, as well as an LED headlight and taillight, a 7-speed Shimano drivetrain, fat tires with fenders over each, a rear cargo rack, and a large LCD color display.

Be sure to also check out the lineup of ENGWE’s Black Friday sales, which overwhelmingly beats out Amazon’s pricing, excluding the above model.

Segway Ninebot E22

Segway’s Ninebot E22 electric scooter (with seat) is a reliable commuter that carries you up to 14 miles at $360

Amazon is offering the Segway Ninebot E22 Foldable Electric Scooter for $359.99 shipped. Normally priced at $640, but more recently fetching $570 on average, it’s mostly been seen keeping above $400 throughout the year, though we have seen a few previous falls lower to $378 and $360, on occasion. While it’s not as low as it was this same time last year, when it hit the $300 low, you’re looking at a solid $210 markdown to the lowest price we’ve tracked in 2024 and the second-lowest overall.

Not everyone wants to shell out tons of money to add an EV to their commute, and Segway’s Ninebot E22 is certainly a great choice. I’ve been riding this same model (albeit, without the included seat) since 2020 and it is still going strong despite my aggressive and semi-abusive riding on it. The 300W brushless DC motor is paired with a 184Wh battery to reach a 12.4 MPH top speed and carries you up to 13.7 miles on a single charge, with the addition of a Segway External Battery Pack (sold separately) bumping those numbers up to 15.5 MPH for up to 27 miles. There are three riding modes here – a cruise mode for lower speeds and extended travels, a normal mode for its standard settings, and a sports mode that bumps its speed to its maximum rate (while also handling inclines up to 15%) at the cost of some mileage.

EGO Power+ Nexus portable power station

Expand your EGO Power+ capabilities with the Nexus portable power station at a new $838 2024 low

Amazon is offering the EGO Power+ Nexus Portable Power Station with two 7.5Ah batteries for $837.85 shipped. Normally priced at $1,099, we’ve seen a few discounts drop over 2024, with minor falls above $1000 before July, at which point we’ve been seeing recurring discounts lower to $899. Today, we’re getting the best deal we’ve seen in a number of years as the price tag has had $261 cut from it, landing it at a new 2024 low price – just $38 above the all-time lowest rate we last saw in 2019.

This EGO Power+ power station utilizes the brand’s interchangeable batteries for power as an alternative to gas generators, giving you some expansive capabilities for your existing setup. What’s nice about this for those who already own EGO Power+ tools and their respective batteries, is that you can keep switching them out with the included two for sustained power output or plug the station into a wall outlet to act as a multi-port battery charger too, making it a nice addition to homes/setups already investing in the brand. It can pump out up to 2,000W of power (peaking at 3,000W) through its three AC outlets and four USB ports to cover devices, appliances, and even run large holiday displays/decorations.

U.S. crude oil falls below a barrel to lowest since 2021 on tariff-fueled recession fears

U.S. oil prices dropped below $60 a barrel on Sunday on fears President Donald Trump’s global tariffs would push the U.S., and maybe the world, into a recession.

Futures tied to U.S. West Texas intermediate crude fell more than 3% to $59.74 on Sunday night. The move comes after back-to-back 6% declines last week. WTI is now at the lowest since April 2021.

Worries are mounting that tariffs could lead to higher prices for businesses, which could lead to a slowdown in economic activity that would ultimately hurt demand for oil.

Oil futures, 5 years

The tariffs, which are set to take effect this week, “would likely push the U.S. and possibly global economy into recession this year,” according to JPMorgan. The firm on Thursday raised its odds of a recession this year to 60% following the tariff rollout, up from 40%.

What EV sales slump? Illinois’ EV sales outpace the nation by 4:1

What EV sales slump? Illinois' EV sales outpace the nation by 4:1

Chicago Drives Electric | ComEd Press Conference

Fueled by incentives from the Illinois EPA and the state’s largest utility company, new EV registrations nearly quadrupled the 12% first-quarter increase in EV registrations nationally – and there are no signs the state is slowing down.

Despite the dramatic slowdown of Tesla’s US deliveries, sales of electric vehicles overall have perked up in recent months, with Illinois’ EV adoption rate well above the Q1 uptick nationally. Crain’s Chicago Business reports that the number of new EVs registered across the state totaled 9,821 January through March, compared with “just” 6,535 EVs registered in the state during the same period in 2024.

Those numbers represent more than 50% growth in EV registrations – far beyond the expected 12% first-quarter increase nationally being projected by Cox Automotive. (!)

What’s going on in Illinois?

While President Trump and Elmo were running for re-election, they campaigned on the threat promise of canceling the $7,500 federal tax credit for EVs. Along with California Governor Gavin Newsom, Illinois’ Governor JB Pritzker made countermoves – launching a $4,000 rebate for new electric cars and up to $1,500 for the purchase of a new electric motorcycle.

At the same time, the state’s largest utility, ComEd, launched a $90 million EV incentive program featuring a new Point of Purchase initiative to deliver instant discounts to qualifying business and public sector customers who make the switch to electric vehicles. That program has driven a surge in Class 3-6 medium duty commercial EVs, which are eligible fro $20-30,000 in utility rebates on top of federal tax credits and other incentives (Class 1-2 EVs are eligible for up to $7,500).

We covered the launch of those incentives when the program was announced at Chicago Drives Electric last year, but the message here is simple: incentives work.

XCMG launches XE215EV battery swap electric excavator ahead of bauma

XCMG launches XE215EV battery swap electric excavator ahead of bauma

he XE215EV, XCMG’s fully electric hydraulic excavator, powers a new materials processing base in Guangxi with its green energy.

The electric construction equipment experts at XCMG just released a new, 25 ton electric crawler excavator ahead of bauma 2025 – and they have their eye on the global urban construction, mine operations, and logistical material handling markets.

Powered by a high-capacity 400 kWh lithium iron phosphate battery capable of delivering up to 8 hours of continuous operation, the XE215EV electric excavator promises uninterrupted operation at a lower cost of ownership and with even less downtime than its diesel counterparts.

XCMG is delivering on part of that reduced downtime promise with the lower maintenance and easier repair needs of electric equipment, and delivering on the rest of it with lickety-quick DC fast charging that can recharge the machine’s massive battery in 1.5-2 hours … but that’s not the slick bit. The XCMG XE125EV can be powered up without leaving the job site thanks to its BYD battery swap technology.

We first covered XCMG and its battery swap technology back in January, and covered similar battery-swap tech being developed by MOOG Construction offshoot ZQUIP, as well – but while XCMG’s battery tech has been in production for several years, it’s still not widely known about in the West (even within the industry).

XCMG showed off its latest electric equipment at the December 2024 bauma China, including an updated version of its of its 85-ton autonomous electric mining truck that features a fully cab-less design – meaning there isn’t even a place for an operator to sit, let alone operate. And that’s too bad, because what operator wouldn’t want to experience an electric truck putting down 1070 hp more than 16,000 lb-ft of torque!?

Easy in, easy out

The best part? All of the company’s heavy equipment assets – from excavators to terminal tractors to dump trucks and wheel loaders – all use the same 400 kWh BYD battery packs, Milwaukee tool style. That means an equipment fleet can utilize x number of vehicles with a fraction of the total battery capacity and material needs of other asset brands. That’s not just a smart use of limited materials, it’s a smarter use of energy.

You can check out all the XE215EV’s specs at this tear sheet, and get an in-person look at the Chinese company’s latest electric excavator this week in Munich, Germany.
