Anker SOLIX Christmas sale is bringing up to 50% discounts to town on power stations, bundles, more from $99

Anker SOLIX has finally launched its Christmas sales event that will run through December 26, taking up to 50% off its lineup of popular power stations, bundles for solar generators and home backup, and accessories – there’s even some free gear on select purchases and chances to win prizes. For folks not wanting to shell out for the SOLIX F3800 power station but still want some solid home backup power, you’ll want to consider the SOLIX F2000 Portable Power Station and its bundles that start from $1,199 shipped. Coming down off its usual $1,999 full price, over 2024 we’ve mainly seen it have price cuts to $1,299 and $1,399, falling twice before to $1,099 and only once to the $999 low on the day of Cyber Monday. You can score it today at the third-lowest price we have tracked overall, which still gives you a solid $800 in savings while electrifying your life with a reliable unit. You’ll also find it matches the price over at Amazon, after clipping the on-page $800 off coupon.

Whether you’re prepping to handle sudden blackouts over winter or just stocking up for adventures away from home, Anker’s SOLIX F2000 has your back with its 2,048Wh LiFePO4 capacity and 2,400W output power (surging up to 3,600W to tackle higher-power appliances). There are 12 versatile output ports to utilize here, including an exclusive RV port for those traveling by way of a motor home. It can reach an 80% battery recharge in 1.4 hours after being plugged into a standard wall outlet, or you can connect it to its 1,000W maximum solar input to get the same amount of juice in up to 2.5 hours. You’ll also get extra efficiency built right in as the smart AC ports work with its internal systems to switch into a power-saving mode for energy conservation that extends its lifespan and prevents waste.

Murf’s Class 3 Higgs Fat-Tire e-bike with 50-mile range hits new $1,916 low in holiday 20% off sitewide sale

For the holidays this year, Murf E-bikes is offering a sitewide 20% discount across its e-bike lineup. One of the more popular e-bikes from under the brand’s flag is the Higgs Step-Thru and Step-Over Fat-Tire e-bikes that are down at $1,916 shipped after the 20% discount is automatically applied at checkout. Normally $2,395, with rare discounts coming in across the year, we’ve mainly seen this model brought down between $2,095 and $2,195, though we did see a few price cuts further to $1,995 as well. During this sale, you’re looking at a solid $479 slashed off the tag, beating out all this year’s discounted rates for a new low price.

Murf’s Higgs e-bike offers a more versatile rider range from 4-foot-11 inches to 6-foot-four inches, allowing smaller biking enthusiasts to hop aboard comfortably. Its five levels of pedal assistance support you up to 25 MPH top speeds for up to 50 miles on a single charge (30 miles when only cruising using the throttle) – all powered by the 500W motor (750W peak) and 52V battery. There are some solid features here too to further enhance your riding experience, like the 4-inch fat tires for better stability, 600-lumen headlight powered by “3 high-power LEDs” for rides at darker times, Tektro hydraulic disc brakes, an integrated cargo rack with 100-pound payload, and an upgraded high-resolution display.

***Note: The prices of the following e-bikes have had the 20% discount factored in below.

Other Murf 20% off sitewide holiday e-bike deals:

Greenworks 80V 16-inch cordless electric chainsaw

Greenworks’ 80V 16-inch cordless electric chainsaw tackles firewood duties at $224 Amazon low

We’re seeing a quality selection of Greenworks electric tools getting prices slashed by up to 32% at the moment at Amazon, with the brand’s 80V 16-inch Cordless Electric Chainsaw with 2.0Ah battery down at $223.99 shipped. Priced at $280, with rates keeping more down between $252 and $263 recently (especially during Black Friday/Cyber Monday), you’ll be able to expand your arsenal here with a solid 20% markdown, saving you $56 and landing it at the lowest price we have tracked on Amazon.

With winter having officially arrived, there will be plenty of firewood gathering going on through the next handful of months, and what better way to be prepared than having a reliable means to fell and cut up trees to keep your loved ones warm? With the included 2.0Ah battery, you’ll get 100 cuts (rated for 4×4 lumber) on a single charge, with a 16-inch bar and chain that effortlessly cuts through trees and limbs up to 30 inches in diameter. Its brushless motor stacks up to a 45CC gas model, though you won’t have to bother with annoying pull-strings thanks to the push-button start. Maintenance has been simplified with a pro-mounted chain tensioning feature while the auto oiler ensures consistent lubrication for continuous use.

Other Notable Greenworks tool discounts:

Govee smart electric composter

The official Govee Amazon storefront is offering its new Smart Electric Composter for $264.99 shippedafter clipping the on-page $50 off coupon and redeeming the on-page 10% promo code. Normally this new device would run you $500, with only two previous discounts on the books so far, the first dropping things to the $250 low upon its launch back at the end of October and the other taking things to $260 during Black Friday. Today, you can score it to start recycling food scraps at the third-lowest price we have tracked, just $15 above the all-time low.

Composting at home is a great way to cut down on food waste while also improving the soil you use for your gardens and potted plants. This new release from Govee is making things far easier with the added benefit of smart home functionality, helping you keep records of your disposal routines on top of creating a low-cost fertilizer for vital plant growth. It can all be accessed and monitored through your smartphone or by connecting it to Alexa, Google Assistant, and/or Siri for hands-free voice control. Odors associated with traditional composts won’t be of any concern here either, with the device’s two changeable filters preventing smells during its cycles. It also offers three operating modes and a fully array of safety notifications for when anything goes wrong.

Double your chances in Climate XChange's 10th Annual EV Raffle!

Climate XChange’s Annual EV Raffle is back for the 10th year running – and for the first time ever, Climate XChange has two raffle options on the table! The nonprofit has helped lucky winners custom-order their ideal EVs for the past decade. Now you have the chance to kick off your holiday season with a brand new EV for as little as $100.

About half of the raffle tickets have been sold so far for each of the raffles – you can see the live ticket count on Climate XChange’s homepage – so your odds of winning are better than ever.

But don’t wait – raffle ticket sales end on December 8!

Climate XChange is working hard to help states transition to a zero-emissions economy. Every ticket you buy supports this mission while giving you a chance to drive home your dream EV.

Here’s how Climate XChange’s 10th Annual Raffle works:

The Luxury Raffle

  • Grand Prize: The winner can choose any EV on the market, fully customized up to $120,000. This year, you can split the prize between two EVs if the total is $120,000 or less.
  • Taxes covered: This raffle comes with no strings – Climate XChange also pays all of the taxes.
  • Runner-up prizes: Even if you don’t win the Grand Prize, you still have a chance at the 2nd prize of $12,500 and the 3rd prize of $7,500.
  • Ticket price: $250.
  • Grand Prize Drawing: December 12, 2025.
  • Only 5,000 tickets will be sold for the Luxury Raffle.

The Mini Raffle (New for 2025)

  • Grand Prize: Choose any EV on the market, fully customized, up to $45,000. This is the perfect raffle if you’re ready to make the switch to an EV but aren’t in the market for a luxury model.
  • Taxes covered: Climate XChange pays all the taxes on the Mini Raffle, too.
  • Ticket price: $100.
  • Only 3,500 tickets will be sold for the Mini Raffle.

Why it’s worth entering

For a decade, Climate XChange has run a raffle that’s fair, transparent, and exciting. Every ticket stub is printed, and the entire drawing is live-streamed, including the loading of the raffle drum. Independent auditors also oversee the process.

Plus, your odds on the Luxury and Mini Raffles are far better than most car raffles, and they’re even better if you enter both.

Remember that only 5,000 tickets will be sold for the Luxury Raffle and only 3,500 for the Mini Raffle, and around half of the available tickets have been sold so far, so don’t miss your shot at your dream EV!

Climate XChange personally works with the winners to help them build and order their dream EVs. The winner of the Ninth Annual EV Raffle built a gorgeous storm blue Rivian R1T.

How to enter

Go to CarbonRaffle.org/Electrek before December 8 to buy your ticket. Start dreaming up your perfect EV – and know that no matter what, you’re helping accelerate the shift to clean energy.

Who is Climate XChange?

Climate XChange (CXC) is a nonpartisan nonprofit working to help states pass effective, equitable climate policies because they’re critical in accelerating the transition to a zero-emissions economy. CXC advances state climate policy through its State Climate Policy Network (SCPN) – a community of more than 15,000 advocates and policymakers – and its State Climate Policy Dashboard, a leading data platform for tracking climate action across the US.

This fun-vibes Honda Cub lookalike electric scooter is now almost half off

This fun-vibes Honda Cub lookalike electric scooter is now almost half off

The CSC Monterey – one of the most charming little electric scooters on the US market – has dropped to a shockingly low $1,699, down from its original $2,899 MSRP. That’s nearly half off for a full-size, street-legal electric scooter that channels major Honda Super Cub energy, but without the gas, noise, or maintenance of the original.

CSC Motorcycles, based in Azusa, California, has a long history of importing and supporting small-format electric and gas bikes, but the Monterey has always stood out as the brand’s “fun vibes first” model. With its step-through frame, big retro headlight, slim bodywork, and upright seating position, it looks like something from a 1960s postcard – just brought into the modern era with lithium batteries and a brushless hub motor.

I had my first experience on one of these scooters back in 2021, when I reviewed the then-new model here on Electrek. I instantly fell in love with it and even got one for my dad. It now lives at his place and I think he gets just as much joy from looking at it in his garage as riding it.

You can see my review video below.

The performance is solidly moped-class, which is exactly what it’s designed for. A 2,400W rear hub motor pushes the Monterey up to a claimed 30 mph or 48 km/h (I found it really topped out at closer to 32 mph or 51 km/h), making it perfect for city streets, beach towns, and lower-speed suburban routes.

A 60V, roughly 1.6 kWh removable battery offers around 30–40 miles (48-64 km) of real-world range, depending on how aggressively you twist the throttle. It’s commuter-ready, grocery-run-ready, and campus-ready right out of the crate.

It’s also remarkably approachable. At around 181 pounds (82 kg), the Monterey is light for a sit-down scooter, making it easy to maneuver and park. There’s a small storage cubby, LED lighting, and the usual simple twist-and-go operation. And it comes with full support from CSC, a company that keeps a massive warehouse stocked with components and spare parts.

My sister has a CSC SG250 (I’m still trying to convert her to electric) and has gotten great support from them in the past, including from their mechanics walking her through carburetor questions over the phone. So I know from personal experience that CSC is a great company that stands behind its bikes.

But the real story here is the price. Scooters in this class typically hover between $2,500 and $4,500, and electric retro-style models often jump well above that.

At $1,699, the Monterey is one of the least expensive street-legal electric scooters available from a reputable US distributor, especially one that actually stocks parts and provides phone support.

If you’ve been curious about swapping a few car errands for something electric – or you just want a fun, vintage-styled runabout for getting around town – this is one of the best deals of the year.
