Lectric’s Black Friday sale takes up to $781 off e-bike bundles from $999 and tons of bonus deals

Lectric’s Black Friday sale is taking up to $781 off its e-bike bundle lineup, with tons of additional accessory deals too. One noticeable stand out right off the bat is the ONE Long-Range e-bike that is getting $467 in free gear at $2,199 shipped. Normally you’d be pressed for $2,666 to get this bundle at full price, but as always, Lectric includes the savings on all the free gear (though the e-bike is maintaining its $100 price cut from earlier sales). This is the largest bundle package that we have seen on this e-bike to date, making it the best deal yet to score it for your commute, complete with a rear cargo rack, a pair of fenders, two waterproof pannier bags, and a 4L storage bag that stows away right in the frame.

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)

EcoFlow’s Black Friday sale is in its final days, poised to end later this week, and is now offering some new additions to its sale on top of new low prices from its official Amazon storefront, like the DELTA 2 Portable Power Station that is down at $399 shipped. Normally costing you $999 at full price, it kept above $549 for most of 2024, with more recent sales from fall going even lower to $499 for Labor Day and $489 for last month’s Prime Day event.

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.

IRS gives a little more time for electric car buyers to secure the $7,500 tax credit

IRS gives a little more time for electric car buyers to secure the ,500 tax credit

The IRS has updated the terms of the phase-out of the federal tax credit for electric vehicles to give buyers a little more time to secure the $7,500 tax credit.

Trump’s ‘Big Beautiful Bill’ set a deadline of September 30th to end the $7,500 tax credit for new electric vehicles and the $4,000 credit for used ones.

It looked clear that buyers needed to take delivery before the end of the day on September 30th in order to get the credit, but the IRS has now updated its website to give some leeway to buyers, dealers, and automakers.

The agency wrote in an update on its website:

 If a taxpayer acquires a vehicle by having a written binding contract in place and a payment made on or before September 30, 2025, then the taxpayer will be entitled to claim the credit when they place the vehicle in service (namely, when they take possession of the vehicle), even if the vehicle is placed in service after September 30, 2025.

If a buyer has a binding order, not a reservation, and has placed a deposit, they can claim the tax credit once they take delivery, even if it’s after September 30th.

Interestingly, the IRS doesn’t mention a time limit after September 30 to secure the tax credit if you have a deposit on a binding contract.

Electrek’s Take

The last time the tax credit was eliminated, there was at least a planned phase-out period. This time, it looked like it was going to be a clean cut, making it difficult for buyers, dealers, and automakers.

This should make things a little easier.

The end of the tax credit has pulled forward a ton of EV demand into Q3 and it will likely exhaust a lot of automakers’ and dealers’ EV inventory.

They are also all rushing to deliver new orders by September 30th, but now it appears that the tax credit money will still be available for those who lock in their orders by the end of the quarter.

Now, this could also open the door to some shenanigans as automakers could try to convert reservations on upcoming electric vehicles that deliver further down the line, but that would be a risky play.

Any buyers getting into those kind of deals should do it at their own risk.

This German automaker just became the latest to back off its plans to go all in on EVs

This German automaker just became the latest to back off its plans to go all in on EVs

Another German automaker is scaling back EV plans will continue offering hybrid and ICE vehicles. The company claims that it’s still the first German brand to offer a fully electrified lineup.

German automaker Opel drops EV commitment plans

Opel is one of the many brands under the Stellantis Group, alongside Jeep, Ram, Peugeot, Citroën, Fiat, and several others.

Although it was one of the many automakers to commit to offering an all-electric lineup, it’s now backing off its promise.

During Stellantis’ EV Day in 2021, Opel announced its intention to transition to all-electric vehicles by 2028, accompanied by a slate of new models. Former CEO Michael Lohscheller, now chief executive at Polestar, said, “As of 2028, Opel will only offer electric cars in our core market Europe.”

On Monday, the German auto giant abandoned its plans for an all-EV lineup, saying it will continue to focus on its current “multi-energy” strategy.

Opel is the first German auto brand to offer a fully electrified model for every vehicle in its lineup, including electric (EVs), plug-in (PHEVs), and even internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles.

In response to media reports claiming it has changed its strategy, the company said in a statement, “This does not have to be limited to 2028 if the demand side requires otherwise.”

Although the company will continue to focus on EVs in specific regions, like the UK, France, and Germany, it will also offer other powertrain options based on demand.

Opel, alongside British sister company Vauxhall, is one of the top-selling brands in Europe. In Germany and the UK, Opel and Vauxhall ranked first in the ever-expanding B-hatch segment through the first half of the year.

The German auto giant becomes the latest brand to scale back EV plans or shift to hybrids, following Volvo, Volkswagen, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, BMW, and others.

New e-trike boasts 960W motor, full-suspension and 500 lb capacity

New e-trike boasts 960W motor, full-suspension and 500 lb capacity

The electric trike world just got a new heavyweight contender. Puckipuppy’s latest release, the Rottweiler, looks like it was built to haul, climb, and cruise with equal confidence. And with full suspension as well as specs like these, it’s hard not to take notice.

At the heart of the Rottweiler e-trike is a 960W peak motor (750W “nominal”) paired with a torque sensor. That means smooth starts, steady hill climbs, and pedal assistance that feels like it’s working with you instead of for you. Of course, the included throttle allows riders to whip it around without pedaling if they prefer, but the torque sensor will hopefully remind owners that pedaling can be fun and a natural feeling too, especially when you’ve got an extra 960 watts of power helping you out.

The trike tops out at a modest 15 mph (25 km/h), keeping it relatively muted to avoid those high-speed tippy turns that trikes are notorious for. But even with the capped speed, it looks like the Rottweiler has plenty of raw hauling power to keep things fun.

The 48V 15Ah battery has 720 Wh of capacity and the company promises up to 55 miles (88 km) of range on a single charge, depending on how much weight you’re lugging around. And speaking of weight, this thing is no slouch. It’s rated for a payload capacity of 500 pounds (226 kg). That’s more than enough for hauling groceries, pets, or a load of gear down a bike path, all while keeping the SUV parked at home.

Safety and convenience features also find a spot on the spec sheet. Integrated rear turn signals, hydraulic disc brakes, and even a parking brake make it feel more like a small utility vehicle than just an oversized e-bike. The thumb-operated reverse gear is another rare but welcome addition, letting you back out of a tight spot without doing the awkward trike shuffle. It’s rare to find an e-trike with a good (and easily accessible) reverse function, but it makes a big difference when trying to push the trike backwards on anything more than a tiny incline.

Other nice touches include a big 4.7-inch color LCD display, wild-looking butterfly handlebars for multiple riding positions, dual-beam headlights, a cushioned seat with backrest, and fat 20×4” tires that can roll over just about anything. Between those fat tires and the dual suspension setup, the trike should feel pretty darn comfortable over varied terrain.

I’m fearing how much this thing will weigh, if we ever get a chance to put one on a scale, but at least it’s packed to the brim with features!

Priced at $2,399, the Rottweiler is definitely not in the running for lowest-cost trike. There are plenty of others competing on price. This one looks like it’s trying to offer a lot more power, comfort, and features as a way to win over riders.

Electrek’s Take

While Puckipuppy isn’t quite the first dual suspension e-trike like they claim to be, there are still very few options on the market in this category, so it’s welcome news to see another full-suspension option.

The Rottweiler is interesting to me because it isn’t trying to be your fast-and-loose commuter; it’s clearly designed as a heavy-duty hauler for riders who want e-bike utility with a whole lot more stability. The 15 mph limit will feel slow to some, but for families, older riders, or anyone prioritizing cargo over thrills, this makes a lot of sense. With thoughtful design details like reverse, turn signals, and a 500-pound payload, it seems less like a bike and more like a mini pickup truck on three wheels.
