City+ 3 Folding e-bike

MOD’s City+ 3 folding e-bikes give you all-around support on your commutes and joyrides at $1,799 low

Looking back in on MOD’s ongoing Black Friday sale that will continue through December 1, you’ll find the brand’s City+ 3 Folding e-bike down amongst the lowest prices across the lineup for $1,799 shipped, with the City+ Step-Thru Folding e-bike also matching in price for $1,799 shipped. As was the case with all the models under MOD’s flag, these e-bikes’ price tags began the sale by getting a permanent price cut to new $1,999 MSRPs (with the other models seeing up to $1,100 in price cuts), on top of the additional $200 sales discount while the savings last. Before this sale, we only ever saw them fall to $1,999 at the lowest, with that rate now taking over as the starting price and this sale’s markdown giving you a new all-time low going forward.

MOD’s City+ 3 High-Step and Step-Thru folding e-bikes arrive on the scene sporting the brand’s folding frame design, which is perfect for folks in need of some space-saving functionality for their commuting solution. The 750W geared hub motor works with the removable Samsung Li-ion 48V 15Ah/720Wh battery to deliver you where you need to be at top speeds of 28 MPH for up to 50 miles on a single charge with five levels of PAS supported by a superior torque sensor. On top of these, your riding experience will be further bolstered by features like the 300-lumen LED headlight, the integrated LED taillight with brake lighting, hydraulic brakes, multi-terrain Kenda K-Shield tires, a Shimano ALTUS 7-speed derailleur, full cover anti-vibration fenders, a multi-purpose Snap-On rear rack with a 65-pound payload, faux leather grips/saddle, and a S3 Smart Color Display with a USB port to charge your devices as you ride.

The biggest of these deals comes in on the brand’s latest models, the Obsidian and Obsidian ST Power Station e-bikes at $2,099, down from $2,999, with a choice between three different gifts, all worth $599. Coming with either the standard high-step or step-thru fames, what makes these newer models stand out is their built-in power station capabilities when you choose to receive the 1,000W inverter as your free gift, providing on-the-go juice for your devices using the bike’s 940W battery (on top of solar charging functionality too)

Score up to $800 in savings on Segway’s Cube LiFePO4 portable power stations with new lows starting from $600

As part of its Black Friday sale, Amazon is offering the Segway Cube 2000 Portable Power Station for $899.99 shipped. Normally sitting at a full $1,700 price tag, we’ve seen only a handful of discounts on this model over 2024, with July’s Prime Day event bringing the biggest of them – dropping costs to the former $999 low. It’s been keeping more towards its full price in the months since, usually only falling to $1,200. Today, thanks to the savings season, we’re now seeing a bigger-than-ever 47% markdown that saves you $800 and carves out a new all-time low price. You won’t find this model at Segway’s Black Friday sale right now either, as its completely out of stock, making this the best opportunity to score it at the lowest rate we have tracked.

Segway’s Cube 2000 provides you with a 2,048Wh LiFePO4 battery capacity that you can expand up to 5,038Wh with the purchase of three BTX-1000 expansion batteries (now 29% off at $498). There are 122 output ports here to charge up your devices and appliances – with a steady output power up to 2,200W and peaking at 4,400W. You can refill the station’s battery in about 1.8 hours when plugged into a wall outlet or you can take advantage of its 800W maximum solar input for solar recharging. You’ll also get the full detail of remote smart controls through the Segway-Ninebot app via a Bluetooth connection.

There’s also the smaller Segway Cube 1000 Portable Power Station that is down at its second-lowest $599.99 shipped rate, normally $1,000 at full price. This model provides you with a 1,024Wh LiFePO4 capacity that you can also expand up to 5,120Wh with four of the previously mentioned expansion batteries. It pumps out the same output power as its larger counterpart through the same 12 port options. Recharging here is a little faster at 1.2 hours via a wall outlet, with the same 800W max solar input available to take advantage of too – complete with smart controls.

Rachio smart hose timer

Rachio’s smart hose timer and sprinkler controllers keep a watch over your yard’s water needs starting from $78

While its Black Friday savings event continues, Amazon offers the Rachio Smart Hose Timer with Wi-Fi Hub for $78.39 shipped. Normally running you $100 at full price, this device has largely been up and down in price since summer, with most discounts falling between $99 and $79, while also occasionally dipping lower, like the drop to the $69 low that we last saw during October’s Prime Day event. Today, thanks to the Thanksgiving savings season, you’re looking at a 22% markdown that shaves $22 off the going rate, landing the costs down at the third-lowest price we have tracked – just $9 above October’s low rate. If you already have a Wi-Fi hub and are looking to add more smart hose timers to it, you’ll find them at a discounted rate of $59, down from $70.

This packaged pair of devices from Rachio syncs together to deliver smart home controls over your outdoor water supply coming from your spigots. With the Rachio app on your smartphone, you’ll gain monitoring capabilities over flow rates while also being able to set them to schedules – plus, the devices will send you alerts whenever anything goes awry. The smart hose timer, especially, provides a bonus in its weather-watching feature that uses Wi-Fi to keep track of forecasts to skip scheduled watering before or after expected rain/storms, saving you money while also keeping your lawn from being drowned by accident. You can also pair up to four of these timers to one Wi-Fi hub for maximum coverage.

Costco Executive members get MASSIVE $31,500 off Chevy Brightdrop van

Costco Executive members get MASSIVE ,500 off Chevy Brightdrop van

Holy smokes- Costco Wholesale is selling the General Motors Brightdrop electric van at a DEEP discount!🤑🔋🚐

With 272 miles of range and more room inside its walls than your first apartment, GM’s Chevy Brightdrop electric van is one of the best commercial EVs you can buy. And if you’re a Costco Executive member, you can get one for yourself or your business with an absolutely incredible $31,500 discount. (!)

Fleet electrification expert Tony Nisam took to LinkedIn yesterday to post a deal that he ran across at a Washington State Costco that stacks a $25,500 manufacturer rebate with $3,000 in “regular” Costco Member Savings, $2,750 in “LIMITED-TIME” Manufacturer to Member Incentives, plus an additional $250 for Costco Executive members.

Do a bit of math (add up 25,500 + 3,000 + $2,750 + 250), and you’ll calculate an almost unheard of $31,500 discount on one of the best, most capable commercial vans on the market – ICE or electric. And that’s before you factor in the 0% interest financing (72 mo.) being advertised at Blade Chevrolet, the Mount Vernon, Washington, where VIN 2G58J2TY6S9104313 (the exact van shown, below) is shown as stock number 16757.

If you’re not a Costco member yet and you’re looking for a new truck for your business or even a unique #vanlife ride with zero emissions, modern tech, and a nationwide dealer network, GM makes that $130 Executive membership seem like a no-brainer.

Kind of a big deal

“But wait,” says the floating, disembodied ghost of the great Billy Mays. “There’s more!” In addition to the $31,500 worth of discounts Costco Executive members get, there are deals to be had on chargers AND a number of other state and local utility incentives your business might qualify for, bringing the cost of adding a new Chevy Brightdrop to your fleet even lower. In northern Illinois, for example, ComEd commercial customers can get up to $7,500 in rebates for a new Brightdrop Zevo van.

Is a $39,000 price cut enough to get you to take a look at a new Brightdrop? At $45,235 (from a starting price of $84,235), can you afford not to? Head down to the comments and let us know.

Tesla quietly removes range extender battery option on Cybertruck

Tesla quietly removes range extender battery option on Cybertruck

Tesla Cybertruck range extender

Tesla has quietly removed the Cybertruck’s range extender from the options in its online configurator.

Does Tesla still plan to bring the product to market?

When Tesla unveiled the production version of the Cybertruck in late 2023, there were two main disappointments: the price and the range.

The tri-motor version, which was the most popular in reservation tallies, was supposed to have over 500 miles of range and start at $70,000.

Advertisement – scroll for more content

Tesla now sells the tri-motor Cybertruck for $100,000 and only has a range of 320 miles.

As for the dual-motor Cybertruck, it was supposed to cost $50,000 and have over 300 miles of range. The reality is that it starts at $80,000, and it has 325 miles of range.

However, Tesla had devised a solution to bring the range closer to what it originally announced: a separate battery pack that sits in the truck’s bed. Tesla called it a “range extender.” It costs $16,000 and takes up a third of the Cybertruck’s bed.

Even though the Cybertruck has been in production for a year and a half at this point, the range extender has yet to launch.

Initially, Tesla said that it would come “early 2025”, but we reported that it was pushed to “mid-2025” late last year.

At the time, Tesla also reduced the range that the removable battery pack adds to the Cybertruck to “445+ miles” rather than “470+ miles” for the dual motor – a ~25-mile reduction in range.

Now, Tesla has removed the option from its online Cybertruck configurator. It used to take reservations for the range extender with a “$2,000 non-refundable deposit”, as seen on the image above, but now it’s not in the configurator at all at the time of writing.

It’s unclear if Tesla is not planning to launch the product anymore or if it is just pausing reservations.

In its specs page, Tesla still lists the achievable range of both versions of the Cybertruck with and without the range extender battery:

Electrek’s Take

I’m curious. Is it dead, or does Tesla just want to stop taking reservations for it?

At first, I was curious about the product even though I didn’t think it would make up for Tesla’s significant miss on Cybertruck specs.

However, after it was confirmed that it takes up 30% of your bed and that it needs to be installed and removed by Tesla at a service center, I think it’s pretty much dead on arrival at $16,000.

It’s going to be a product limited to only a few people at best. And now that’s if it makes it to market.

With the option being removed from the configurator, there’s no production timeline available. Again, the last one was “mid-2025”, which is soon.

EcoFlow members can save up to 65% on power stations while supporting disaster relief during the 2025 Member’s Festival

EcoFlow members can save up to 65% on power stations while supporting disaster relief during the 2025 Member's Festival

Portable power station specialist EcoFlow is kicking off its third annual Member’s Festival this month and is offering a unique new rewards program to those who become EcoFlow members. The 2025 EcoFlow Member’s Festival will offer savings of up to 65% for its participating customers, and a portion of those funds will be allocated toward rescue power solutions for communities around the globe through the company’s “Power for All” fund.

EcoFlow remains one of the industry leaders in portable power solutions and continues to trek forward in its vision to power a new tech-driven, eco-conscious future. Per its website:

Our mission from day one is to provide smart and eco-friendly energy solutions for individuals, families, and society at large. We are, were, and will continue to be a reliable and trusted energy companion for users around the world.

To achieve such goals, EcoFlow has continued to expand its portfolio of sustainable energy solutions to its community members, including portable power stations, solar generators, and mountable solar panels. While EcoFlow is doing plenty to support its growing customer base, it has expanded its reach by giving back to disaster-affected communities by helping bolster global disaster response efforts the best way it knows how– with portable power solutions.

EcoFlow and its members look to provide “Power for All”

Since 2023, EcoFlow has collaborated with organizations worldwide as part of its “Power for All” mission. This initiative aims to ensure access to reliable and timely power to disaster-affected communities across the globe, including rescue agencies, affected hospitals, and shelters, to support rescue and recovery efforts.

This fund most recently provided aid for communities affected by the recent Los Angeles wildfires, assistance to the Special Forces Charitable Trust (SFCT) in North Carolina following severe hurricanes, and support for non-profits engaged in hurricane preparedness in Florida and the Gulf Coast. Per Jodi Burns, CEO of the Special Forces Charitable Trust:

In the wake of devastating storms in Western North Carolina, reliable power was a critical need for the families we serve. Thanks to EcoFlow’s generous donation of generators, we were able to provide immediate relief, ensuring these families and their communities had access to power when they needed it most. We are so impressed with EcoFlow’s commitment to disaster response through their ‘Power for All’ program. It has made a tangible impact, and we are deeply grateful for their support and partnership in helping these families recover and rebuild.

In 2024, the US experienced 27 weather and climate events, each causing losses exceeding $1 billion, marking the second-highest annual total on record, according to National Centers for Environmental Information. The increasing frequency and severity of natural disasters underscore the critical need for reliable and timely power solutions during emergencies, much like EcoFlow and its members are helping provide through the “Power For All” initiative.

To support new and existing EcoFlow members, the company is celebrating its third annual Member’s Festival throughout April to offer a do-not-miss discount on its products and donate a portion of all sales to the “Power for All” fund to provide rescue power to those in need in the future. Learn how it all works below.

Save big and give back during the 2025 Member’s Festival
