We’ve got some great Green Deals for you today, led by Rad Power’s official 2024 Black Friday sale that is running through the rest of the month and offering up to $500 discounts on veteran e-bikes, free extra battery promotions on the newest models, and plenty of accessory discounts up to 30% – all starting from $1,099. Right behind it is Segway’s latest ZT3 Pro All-Terrain Electric Scooter that has two differing offers – the first being a $200 discount while the second gives you a free Lumina power station, starting from $1,100. We have the return of the all-time lowest price on GoTrax’s Everest Electric Dirt Bike at $4,000 for today only, as well as new low prices on Worx’s M 20V and L 20V Landroid Robotic Lawn Mowers that start from $540. Lastly, Walmart’s early Black Friday sale has discounted a selection of Greenworks equipment, with the 60V 16-inch Cordless Electric Chainsaw hitting a new $139 low. Plus, all the other hangover Green Deals are in the links at the bottom of the page, like yesterday’s $600 off Black Friday deal on Heybike’s Cityrun e-bike, or the other low prices from ENGWE, Segway Ninebot, 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.

Rad Power has launched its official 2024 Black Friday sale through December 4, offering up to $500 in discounts on e-bikes, as well as free extra battery promotions on its newest models (worth $599), 30% off accessory deals, 25% off vehicle racks, and more. The biggest cash discount during this event is on the RadExpand 5 Folding e-bike that is down at $1,099 shipped – plus, you’ll also be getting a free accessory under $200. Normally priced at $1,599, we’ve seen it as the focus of a few different sales so far in 2024, with most of them cutting the price down to $1,299, though some took things lower to $1,249. With this sale, though, you’re looking at a bigger-than-ever $500 in savings that beats out the former low price by $150 and marks a new all-time low going forward – even beating out last year’s Black Friday sale too.

Rad Power’s RadExpand 5 e-bike makes the perfect addition to homes that need a well-rounded utility model that can also save you on storage space when you’re not on the saddle thanks to its folding frame. The 750W brushless geared rear-hub motor arrives powered by a 672Wh battery, providing a 20 MPH top speed with four pedal assistance levels (yes, there’s a throttle too) and supporting you through your commute, errands, and more with 45+ miles of travel range on a full charge.

Along with its performance, there’s a solid collection of stock features like the LED headlight and the integrated taillight with brake lighting – plus, they both sport automatic functioning, turning on when surrounding light levels drop low enough. There’s also the integrated cargo rack (which has a 55-pound weight limit), fenders to go over both 20-inch by 4-inch fat tires, a water-resistant wiring harness, a 7-speed MicroShift derailleur, and an LED display.

Score $200 off Segway’s new ZT3 Pro all-terrain e-scooter or get it with a free power station starting from $1,100

We’re still waiting for Segway to officially drop its Black Friday savings, though we are seeing one early access opportunity in the S2 Smart Self-Balancing Scooter at its all-time lowest rate and matching at Amazon. In the meantime, the brand is offering two separate deals on its new ZT3 Pro All-Terrain eKickScooter, with the first being a discount to $1,099.99 shipped. Down for the first time since officially launching last month, it comes in as the second-lowest price overall considering the pre-order special that had costs down at $950. You’ll still be saving a solid $200 on this all-new model though, or you can buy it at full price to take advantage of the alternative deal (more on that below).

Segway’s new ZT3 Pro electric scooter cruises across any terrain your journeys take you at top speeds of 24.9 MPH thanks to the 1,600W brushless motor that provides enough torque to conquer inclines up to 25% with ease. The 597Wh battery here is supported by RideyLong tech with an advanced controller algorithm that extends its travel capacity “by up to 20%,” lending to the 43.5 miles it carries you on a single 4-hour charge while in Eco Mode (18.6 miles when kicked into its high-powered Sport mode). Segway has even taken sudden needs to travel into consideration, giving it the ability the provide 6.2 miles off just 30 minutes of charging if you really need to get going.

Rider safety, stability, and comfort have been one of the main focuses of this model too, as it has been given plenty of features to support smoother and more controlled riding, like the full suspension frame, 6 inches of clearance from the ground, a pair of 11-inch all-terrain tubeless tires, as well as a Segride stability enhancement system that works alongside its Traction Control System. It boasts an IPX5 waterproof designation (with the battery rated IPX7) and even eco-friendly ASA thermoplastic that is easy to replace if damaged – plus, tons of smart features, like Apple Find My, and lighting too, which you can check out in full by reading our in-depth launch coverage.

Segway is also offering an alternative deal on this new model if you choose to buy it at full price – which, along with the scooter, gives you a free Lumina 500 Portable Power Station (valued at $400). This model has a more compact form factor than the brand’s other power stations, offering a 512Wh capacity (peaking at 1,200W) and being able to dish out power at 600W speeds – with a full battery only taking one hour to get when plugged into a wall outlet. All-in-all, there are eight ports to charge your devices and power small appliances – two ACs, two USB-Cs, and four USB-As.

GoTrax Everest electric dirt bike

Second chance at landing GoTrax’s Everest electric dirt bike with massive $2,000 discount at $4,000 low (Today only)

Coming to us through its Deals of the Day, Best Buy is offering the GoTrax Everest Electric Dirt Bike down at $3,999.99 shipped through the rest of the day. It normally keeps to its recent $6,000 price tag most of the time after falling from the original $6,500 rate months ago, with very few discounts dropping costs further since it released last year. In 2024, we’ve mainly seen three previous one-day sales like this one, the first two only taking the price down to $5,500, while September saw the first fall to the $4,000 low. It’s returning again here today, giving you the chance to score it at $2,000 off and the lowest price we have seen to date.

GoTrax’s Everest electric dirt bike races onto the tracks and trails with a monstrous 4,000W rear-drive motor that conquers terrain effortlessly, peaking up to 8,000W. It tops out at speeds of 53 MPH, and the removable 72V battery provides a 50-mile travel distance on a single four-hour charge. There are a bunch of features here that only enhance your electric motocross adventures, with multiple riding modes, dual-shock suspension paired with hydraulic disc brakes, and deep-tooth off-road tires. You’ll also be getting dual headlights, a taillight with braking and turn signal functionality, mudguards, and an LED digital display to control its settings. It also weighs in on the lighter side of dirt bikes, even for an electric model – coming in at just 172 pounds.

Worx robotic lawn mower

Get the lowest prices yet on Worx’s Landroid robotic lawn mowers for 1/4 and 1/2-acre yards from $540

Amazon is giving us two of the best rates yet on the Worx Landroid Robotic Lawn Mowers ahead of official Black Friday sales, with the M 20V model down at $539.99 shipped, while the L 20V model is hitting $631.13 shipped. These two models would normally run you $900 and $1,150 more recently since they fell from higher $1,200 and $1,500 MSRPs earlier in the year. We’ve only been seeing the M 20V version keeping above $719 throughout the year, with the S 20V often getting the bulk of the savings, but today, we’re seeing a 40% markdown that takes things lower than ever before, saving you $360 and landing it at a new all-time low price – right alongside the new all-time low on its L 20V counterpart.

You can now get autonomous support outdoors in your yards with these Worx Landroid robotic lawn mower models, with the M 20V covering up to 1/4 acres while the L 20V handles lawns up to 1/2 acres in size. The advanced AI here keeps it on the most efficient path, raising and lowering its floating blade whenever it needs added clearance through more uneven sections of the terrain. You’ll be getting the full detail of smart controls through its companion app via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi, and as a bonus, the batteries that run them are also part of Worx’s PowerShare ecosystem, meaning you can switch them out with other tools from the brand that you may already have.

greenworks 60V 16-inch chainsaw

Walmart drops the Greenworks 60V 16-inch cordless electric chainsaw to new $139 low

As part of its ongoing early Black Friday sale, Walmart is offering some significant discounts on Greenworks lawn care and outdoor equipment, like the 60V 16-inch Cordless Electric Chainsaw that comes with a 2.5Ah battery, charger, and a bonus chain for $139 shipped. Down from its usual $268 pricing, the closest model you can find to this one over at Amazon is sitting $80 higher in price, at the moment. While we’ve been seeing this model bounce around in price all year, costs never fell below $200 before today’s deal, which is giving folks the opportunity at a 48% markdown that saves you $129 for the new all-time lowest price we have tracked. On top of the cash savings, you’ll also be getting a little bonus savings in the form of the included extra chain that comes with the battery and charger.

Those of you stocking up on firewood or are in need of a reliable method to cut up damaged limbs and trees from possible heavy snowfalls and winter storming will get just what you need with this 60V cordless electric chainsaw from Greenworks. The included 2.5Ah battery ensures 90 consecutive cuts on a single 50-minute charge, while the bonus 16-inch chain gives you a backup should anything happen to damage the stocked chain. It makes a conveniently lightweight and quieter addition to home arsenals, replacing gas-guzzlers with the same power to rival a 38cc model.

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.

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.
