Today’s Green Deals has some more early Christmas savings, with Aventon launching its Holiday sale that is bringing back Black Friday lows, free extra battery promotions, and even introducing two new models – with the Ramblas Electric Mountain Bike getting the spotlight at its $2,599 low. We also spotted a short-term power deal sale from Anker SOLIX that has continued Black Friday savings on backup power models like the C1000 Portable Power Station which is down at its $429 low, among others. There’s also Goal Zero’s popular 500 Lumen Torch Light that has dropped back to its $30 low that we haven’t seen since October. Plus, all the other hangover Green Deals are in the links at the bottom of the page, like last week’s early Christmas savings on EcoFlow power stations and Rad Power e-bikes, 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.

Aventon’s Holiday sale has kicked into gear continuing much of the brand’s Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals along with the release of two new models (unfortunately not getting discounts) – with purchases made by December 15 arriving before Christmas. One of the returning low prices during this sale is on the new Ramblas Electric Mountain Bike that is down at $2,599 shipped. Priced at $2,899 most days since it released back in February, we’ve mainly seen it get small $100 or $200 discounts throughout 2024, though Black Friday/Cyber Monday saw that price drop lower than any to $2,599 for the first time. You can score it at its all-time low once again, saving you $300 while upgrading your commute with an advanced model that can go the distance on streets or trails alike.

Aventon’s Ramblas electric mountain bike arrives equipped with the brand’s first mid-drive motor (250W peaking to 750W for incline-conquering power) alongside a 708Wh battery that delivers a 20 MPH top speed for up to 80 miles when utilizing its three PAS profiles (eco, trail, and turbo), with each offering five levels. And of course, the pedal assistance is supported by a superior torque sensor here. You’ll get even more in-depth smart controls over its performance thanks to the Ride Tune feature that lets you customize the motor’s output to your liking, fine-tuning the assistance, max torque, and pedal response – plus, its software automatically updates through the app for optimal performance at all times. The Ramblas electric mountain bike comes stocked with loads of quality features too, like the SRAM NX Eagle 12-speed drivetrain, 4-piston SRAM hydraulic disc brakes, a KS dropper seat post, a RockShox 35 suspension fork, LED lighting built into the chainstays for rear visibility on top of the optional front headlight, and a full-color display.

Aventon Holiday sale e-bike discounts:

  • Pace 500.3 Cruiser e-bike: $1,599 (Reg. $1,799)
    • 28 MPH for up to 60 miles (120 miles with extra battery)
  • Pace 500.3 Step-Through Cruiser e-bike: $1,599 (Reg. $1,799)
    • 28 MPH for up to 60 miles (120 miles with extra battery)

  • Soltera 2.5 Lightweight e-bike (new upgrades): $1,199
    • 20 MPH for up to 46 miles
  • Sinch 2.5 Compact Folding e-bike (new upgrades): $1,799
    • 20 MPH for up to 55 miles
  • Abound SR Cargo e-bike: $1,899
    • 20 MPH for up to 60 miles
Anker SOLIX C1000 power station

Score Anker’s SOLIX C1000 1,056Wh LiFePO4 power station at $429 low (Save $570)

Anker SOLIX is offering several power deals that are continuing the low prices we saw during its Cyber Monday sale across several power station models, like the C1000 Portable Power Station that is back at $429 shipped and also matching in price at Amazon. Down from its usual $999 price tag, we’ve mainly been seeing this model drop to $549 over 2024, though the recent Black Friday sale brought things lower to $449 which fell to $429 once Cyber Monday rolled around. You’re getting a second chance at the lowest price we have tracked today, saving you $570 on a solid backup power solution.

Coming in “15% smaller than the industry average,” Anker’s compact SOLIX C1000 power station provides you with a 1,056Wh LiFePO4 capacity (which can be expanded up to 2,112Wh with this extra battery bundle option, matching at Amazon too). It delivers up to 1,800W of power output to your devices, surging up to 2,400W to tackle a wider array of small and large appliances through its 11 ports. Equipped with the brand’s UltraFast tech, you can refill the battery to 80% in just 43 minutes or get a full battery in 58 minutes. Solar charging takes about 1.8 hours when utilizing its maximum 600W of solar input – and you’ll also get the usual smart controls to monitor and adjust settings through the Anker app.

Goal Zero torch light/power bank

Add Goal Zero’s 500 Lumen Torch light that doubles as a 5,200mAh solar-charging power bank to your kit at $30 low

The official Goal Zero Amazon storefront is offering its 500 Lumen Torch Light for $29.89 shipped. Normally carrying a $50 price tag most days, we’ve only seen four periods of discounts on this device over 2024, with things starting at $42 in January, dropping to $40 in March, and $38 in May before riding its MSRP to October, where it fell to the $30 low for the first time. We haven’t seen anything since, but today’s deal is changing that with a 40% markdown off the going rate, giving you a solid $20 in savings and a second shot at the all-time lowest price we have tracked.

It’s always a good idea to have versatile convenience in your toolbox, and this multi-functional device from Goal Zero delivers just that with its 500 lumens of LED lighting for your garage and campsite – even if you’re trying to work outdoors in the dark or get through a blackout. It provides either a focused spotlight or an area-covering flood light, with the actual light coming in a compact size that fits right in your hand. The internal 5,200mAh battery also doubles as a power bank for device-charging needs through the USB-C port, and it has an integrated solar panel to recharge when you might not be near a power source, making it an excellent addition to camping supplies.

Best ongoing e-bike deals!

Best new Green Deals landing this week

The savings this week are also continuing to a collection of other markdowns. To the same tune as the offers above, these all help you take a more energy-conscious approach to your routine. Winter means you can lock in even better off-season price cuts on electric tools for the lawn while saving on EVs and tons of other gear.

Verge unveils wild-looking TS Pro electric motorcycle with hubless motor, longer range, and faster charging

Verge unveils wild-looking TS Pro electric motorcycle with hubless motor, longer range, and faster charging


Verge Motorcycles just took the wraps off the next evolution of its flagship Verge TS Pro electric motorcycle at the EICMA motorcycle show in Milan, revealing a dramatically upgraded version of its best-selling model. And we’re here to see it firsthand.

The Verge TS Pro first hit the scene in 2022 as a futuristic, hubless-wheeled electric motorcycle packed with power and sleek styling. Now, the company is doubling down with a lighter, more refined, and more powerful version of the TS Pro that improves nearly every aspect of the bike’s design and performance.

At the heart of the upgrade is Verge’s eye-catching hubless Donut Motor 2.0. The patented motor still pumps out a massive 1,000 Nm of torque, but now weighs 50% less, contributing to a total motorcycle weight of 507 lbs (230 kg). That power translates to a 0–60 mph (0-96 km/h) time of 3.5 seconds.

Alongside the motor upgrade, Verge added a new 20.2 kWh battery that delivers up to 217 miles (350 km) of range and supports ultra-fast charging, adding 60 miles (96 km) of range in just 15 minutes. Verge says full charging takes under 35 minutes, and the bike now supports CCS fast charging in Europe and NACS in the US.

Verge also introduced a series of rider-focused upgrades. The TS Pro now sports larger displays, an improved user interface, and better Bluetooth connectivity through its Verge HMI system. The riding posture has been made more ergonomic with a 25-degree angle adjustment, while suspension and damping tweaks promise a smoother ride.

Software takes center stage with the inclusion of Verge’s Starmatter platform, first launched in 2023. Starmatter combines AI, sensors, and OTA updates to tailor each ride and future-proof the bike for new features, no wrenching required.

The updated Verge TS Pro is available for reservation now via Verge’s website and US showrooms, with test rides starting in early 2026. Pricing information to be updated soon.

Electrek’s Take

Verge’s first hubless electric motorcycle took the internet by storm and launched a new style of design. Now the company is showing that its playbook of electric motorcycle innovation is still alive and well. Between the hubless motor tech, blazing-fast charging, and tech-forward design, the TS Pro feels both futuristic and realistic. Sure, it’s still limited in highway range like all electric motorcycles, but for mixed riding, that 20+ kWh pack is going to help alleviate range anxiety – and is twice as large as the pack in my LiveWire, for example.

This is one I’ll definitely be keeping an eye on.

CNBC Daily Open: AI is carrying the weight of the U.S. market

The “everything store” might have secured its biggest customer yet.

On Monday, Amazon announced that it had signed a $38 billion deal with OpenAI, offering the ChatGPT maker access to Amazon Web Services’ infrastructure.

On the one hand, the move isn’t too surprising — a continuation of OpenAI’s spending spree as it looks to secure resources to run its power-hungry artificial intelligence models.

On the other, OpenAI’s turn to Amazon shows that the firm is diversifying from its reliance on Microsoft, which had been its exclusive cloud services provider until this year. That could suggest OpenAI is getting ready for an initial public offering as it looks to signal “both independence and operational maturity,” as CNBC’s MacKenzie Sigalos writes.

Amazon shares surged on the news to close at a record high. Nvidia also had a positive day after Microsoft announced it was granted a license by the U.S. government to export the AI darling’s chips to the United Arab Emirates.

While Big Tech is attracting investor interest, the rest of the market has been rather lackluster.

Even as the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite rose on the back of the tech behemoths, more than 300 stocks in the broad-based index ended the day lower — a warning sign that only a narrow segment of the market is faring well.

Cash-strapped governments are increasingly eyeing citizens’ retirement pots — and experts are sounding the alarm

As fiscal pressures deepen from aging populations and pandemic-era debt, governments are increasingly tapping into a tempting source of capital: citizens’ retirement savings.

The trouble starts when governments interfere and tell funds to invest too much at home, which breaks the delicate balance that fund managers have calculated between risk and reward, said Sébastien Betermier, executive director at the International Centre for Pension Management.

BP beats third-quarter profit expectations on higher oil and gas production

BP beats third-quarter profit expectations on higher oil and gas production

British oil giant BP on Tuesday reported stronger-than-expected third-quarter profit as higher crude and gas production outweighed a weak oil trading result.

The London-listed oil and gas major posted underlying replacement cost profit, used as a proxy for net profit, of $2.21 billion for July-September period. That beat analyst expectations of $2.03 billion, according to an LSEG-compiled consensus.

BP’s third-quarter net profit came in at $2.3 billion last year and $2.35 billion in the second quarter of 2025.

“We’ve delivered another quarter of good performance across the business with operations continuing to run well,” BP CEO Murray Auchincloss said in a statement.

“We are looking to accelerate delivery of our plans, including undertaking a thorough review of our portfolio to drive simplification and targeting further improvements in cost performance and efficiency,” Auchincloss said.

The oil major’s third-quarter net debt came in at $26.05 billion, broadly flat from the previous quarter, although up from $24.27 billion a year earlier.

London-listed shares of BP rose 0.5% on Tuesday morning.

Some other third-quarter highlights included:

  • Operating cash flow came in at $7.8 billion, up from $6.3 billion three months ago.
  • BP said it expects divestment and other proceeds to be above $4 billion in 2025.

BP also announced another $750 million in share buybacks over the next three months, maintaining the pace of its shareholder returns, albeit at a reduced level from earlier in the year.

The results come just over eight months after the company launched a fundamental strategic reset.

BP, which has been the subject of intense takeover speculation, is looking to regain investor confidence by slashing renewable spending and prioritizing its traditional oil and gas business.

Investors appear to have broadly welcomed the oil and gas major’s green strategy U-turn, with share prices up more than 13% year-to-date. The improving sentiment has also been attributed to the firm’s leadership shake-up, progress on its cost-cutting program and a string of recent oil discoveries.

BP on Monday announced it had agreed to sell minority stakes in some of its U.S. onshore pipeline assets in the Permian and Eagle Ford basins to private investor Sixth Street for $1.5 billion. BP has previously said it is targeting $20 billion in divestments by the end of 2027.

Last week, British rival Shell reported stronger-than-expected third-quarter profit, citing robust operational performance and higher trading contributions.
