Heybike launches new ALPHA all-terrain e-bike with 60-mile range at $1,599 in limited early bird preorder sale

Running alongside its ongoing Valentine’s Day sale, Heybike is officially launching its new ALPHA All-Terrain e-bike for preorder with an early bird discount through February 25 of $1,599 shipped for either its black step-over model or its white step-thru counterpart. If you were fortunate enough to be one of the hundred buyers of the brand’s early bird coupon ahead of today, you can look forward to an additional $50 being taken off the total price for $1,549 shipped. This model will begin shipping on February 23, at which point the price will return to its full $1,699 price tag, so the $100 to $150 markdown here is appreciated. One thing to note though, the brand has stated that there will only be 300 units released as part of this first round of launches – so don’t dawdle on decisions too long or you’ll miss out!

Heybike’s latest ALPHA e-bike arrives as the first release from the brand’s Galaxy eDrive System, which utilizes a 500W Mivice mid-drive motor alongside a 680Wh battery, five levels of pedal assistance, and a torque sensor to provide rider support for up to 60 miles on a single charge at up to 28 MPH top speeds (depending on state laws). This e-bike has been designed to be a more cost-friendly solution, with its performance improvements not impacting its price as readily as other brands, much in the same tradition as Lectric’s XPeak 2.0 e-bikes (though they’re still coming in $300 under the starting price here).

That’s not to say Heybike is holding back, as they’ve decked out the ALPHA e-bike with a bunch of nice features, like the hydraulic front suspension fork, hydraulic disc brakes, the Shimano Altus 8-speed derailleur, 4-inch puncture-protected fat tires, fenders over both wheels, an integrated rear cargo rack, an LED headlight with an auto-on functionality, an integrated taillight with braking light functionality, and an LCD for settings and controls (as well as app controls too). It weighs in at just under 72 pounds, boasting a 400-pound total payload, and don’t worry, it comes with a half-twist throttle for electric-only preferences, though it has been given a safety feature that won’t allow it to be activated until you’ve pedaled it into motion first.

Be sure to check out Heybike’s full Valentine’s Day sale for more e-bike options – especially if you’d prefer a folding e-bike – as the brand’s popular models start from $999. 

Aiper’s Valentine’s Day sale drops the Surfer S1 cordless solar robot pool skimmer to $300

Aiper has an ongoing Valentine’s Day sale that is taking up to 40% off its lineup of robot pool cleaners, with some bonus gifts at certain pricing thresholds ($900 and $1,200), free gear with select models, and bundle deals. Among its offers, the popular Surfer S1 Cordless Solar Robot Pool Skimmer is down at $299.99 shipped. Originally hitting the market with a $470 price tag, it has since fallen to a more recent $400 MSRP, which we saw hit a $270 low during October’s Prime Day event for the first time. While December saw it keep above $380, we’re seeing much more frequent falls to $300 in the new year, with the trend continuing here at $100 off its normal going rate. You’ll also find it matching in price direct from the brand’s official Amazon storefront.

A handy device for what I’ve always considered the most annoying job in pool upkeep, Aiper’s Surfer S1 utilizes paddle wheels to maneuver around your pool’s water surface while its ultrasonic sensors guide it to floating debris, insects, and more – trapping it all inside an easy-to-remove basket. The remote smart controls for this device are accessed through its companion app, letting you monitor its progress, adjust settings as needed, and even providing manual steering when you want it tackling a certain concern. The battery provides it with a 10-hour lifespan, with the option to either plug in to its DC port for recharging or take advantage of its solar charging capabilities thanks to the panel on top, which means far less work for you during the brighter months.

Be sure to also learn about the newer Surfer S2 Solar Pool Skimmer that is still benefitting from its first-ever discount at Amazon, where it’s down at $340 from $540 for an unforeseen amount of time longer. This new model comes with upgraded features like the latest brushless motor, a larger suction inlet, an improved filtration system, a 35-hour starting battery runtime (and the same solar capabilities), and more.

Aiper Valentine’s Day sale in-ground pool cleaner deals:

  • Seagull Pro: $500 (Reg. $750) | $30 more at Amazon
    • for pools up to 1,600 square feet in size
    • floor/wall/water line cleaning
    • comes with free roller brush film
  • Flagship Scuba S1: $520 (Reg. $700) | $19 more at Amazon
    • for pools up to 1,600 square feet in size
    • floor/wall/water line cleaning
    • comes with free debris basket
  • Scuba S1 Pro: $900 (Reg. $1,200) | matched at Amazon
    • for pools up to 2,150 square feet in size
    • floor/wall/water line cleaning
    • comes with free replacement caterpillar treads

Aiper Valentine’s Day sale bundle deals:

EGO Power+ Multi-Head system

The EGO Power+ 56V Power Head drops to $155 (Reg. $185), attachments start from $111

Amazon is offering the best rate in months on the EGO Power+ 56V Power Head that is down at $154.94 shipped. Normally fetching $185 these days at Amazon, we saw it fall to its $119 low back in September before keeping at $149 during Prime Day and rising back near its full rate by November, only falling to $162 during Black Friday sales. We haven’t seen it fall any lower in the time since, with today’s deal coming in as a long-awaited relief that cuts $30 off the going rate, giving you the best price we’ve tracked in months. I do want to point out that this deal is only on the Power Head itself, with no included battery or charger, making it a great opportunity for those who have the brand’s 56V ARC batteries already lying about and want to get more use out of them.

The focal point of EGO’s Multi-Head System, this 56V Power Head sports a brushless motor and comes compatible with the system’s many attachments for better versatility and efficiency, as you’ll be saving more space with less single-use tools while also utilizing more out of your existing batteries. There’s a two-speed selector to dial up or dial down speed settings, as well as a lock-off button for safety and an adjustable front handle for added comfort and control when working for extended periods. You can also grab it with a carbon fiber build at just $14 more, if you want an even sturdier design – with both sporting an IPX4 water-resistance rating to stand against any adverse weather that might roll in while you’re in the middle of a job.

EGO Power+ Multi-Head attachment deals:

Autel MaxiCharger AC Lite Ev charger

Autel’s MaxiCharger AC Lite 50A level 2 EV charger with J1772 connector returns to $455 Amazon low

Autel’s official Amazon storefront is offering its MaxiCharger AC Lite Home Level 2 EV charger for $455.20 shipped and matching direct from the manufacturer. This model usually goes for $569, but we’ve been seeing frequent Lightning deals over the last year (and some longer-lasting discounts) that dropped costs to this same rate. Today’s deal continues the trend, as the 20% markdown here saves you $114 at the lowest price on Amazon.

An affordable alternative for non-Tesla drivers, Autel’s 240V MaxiCharger AC Lite sports compatibility with any EV using a J1772 connector. Tesla drivers don’t need to feel left out though, as ordering this model direct from Autel here, gives you a choice between the J1772 or a NACS connector, which beats out the pricing on Tesla’s Universal Wall Connector (rarely discounted) by nearly $100. You’ll get up to 50A charging speeds by installing this model at your home, which averages about 37 miles per every hour of charging when set to its maximum output, complete with smart controls to monitor and adjust settings as needed. It also comes ready to stand against your regions year-round weather, as its upgraded 25-foot cable can function in cold as low as -40 degrees while the unit as a whole can withstand “snow, rain, hail, and sleet.”

Best New Year EV 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.

SUPER73 unveils new e-bike that leaves everyone scratching their heads

SUPER73 unveils new e-bike that leaves everyone scratching their heads


We knew SUPER73 had something new coming soon based on recent teasers dropped on the e-bike brand’s social media pages. But after the big unveiling of the new SUPER73 MZFT late last week, riders and fans have seemingly been left with more questions than answers regarding the new electric two-wheeler.

SUPER73 took to the Moto Beach Classic in Orange County, California, to roll out its newest model, which had already drummed up hype for an expected new platform.

The company delivered on that promise, showcasing the MZFT with its new frame and features, including multiple battery options and locking storage under the flip-up seat. While some familiar features remain, such as the rear hub motor, wide dual-sport tires, and rigid frame/fork setup, the new platform definitely looks like a novel swing at a moped-style electric bike that stays true to SUPER73’s design legacy.

But beyond the obvious Class 2 sticker on the frame – indicating a top speed of 20 mph (32 km/h) and an included throttle – SUPER73 has been tight-lipped about any other specs. The result is an unveiling that has left many scratching their heads and asking, “But what is it?”.

Without any real sizing information, we’re left to speculate from the bike’s proportions. The bike certainly looks smaller than the large, rugged SUPER73 bikes that dominated the brand’s flagship lineup for years.

A photo with several young boys on the MZFT series seems to nail the target crowd, likely positioning the MZFT as a smaller, teen-friendly e-bike designed for the quickly growing teen boy e-bike market.

Many cities in the US are now home to groups of teenagers that ride e-bikes in packs. The trend has proven divisive, with some praising the electric two-wheelers for getting more youths outdoors and away from screens, while others bemoan the tendency for these ‘e-bike gangs’ to stray from strictly following the rules of the road.

For its part, SUPER73 has been relatively proactive with its response to criticism, focusing on ensuring its new models maintain street legal compliance and even pushing updates to older models that removed the ability to unlock higher speeds, even to the chagrin of much of the brand’s customer base.

If SUPER73 is targeting the tween boy crowd, it could be a shot at attracting those young riders before they get swayed over to Sur Rons and other non-street legal e-motos, instead drawing them into class-correct e-bikes that still invoke the fun moto-styling. One of the bikes in the image above even has two boys seated together, which would explain the apparent mounting point for additional pillion pegs on the rear chainstays of the frame (though no pillion pegs are visible in the photos or renderings).

For now, we can’t say for sure exactly what these MZFT e-bikes will be packing under the hood, and we will have to await more news from SUPER73 regarding sizing, performance, and other specs.

But whatever the MZFT turns out to be, SUPER73 says the bikes will be hitting retail stores on November 8th and will become available online by November 10th, so we should know significantly more by then.

US average new car price tops $50k for the first time – here’s why

US average new car price tops k for the first time – here's why


The average US new car price crossed the $50,000 mark for the first time in September, according to new estimates from Kelley Blue Book (KBB). Prices have been climbing steadily for over a year, and the pace picked up this summer – but that hasn’t stopped Americans from buying.

KBB says September’s record average transaction price (ATP) was partly driven by luxury models and EVs, which pushed the market into record territory. EVs made up an estimated 11.6% of all new vehicles sold last month, which is also a record high. The average EV sold for $58,124 – up 3.5% from August’s adjusted figure.

In Q3, EV sales hit another milestone: 437,487 EVs were sold in the US, giving them a 10.5% market share. That’s nearly a 30% jump from the same period last year. With government-backed EV incentives expiring at the end of September, many buyers hurried to lock in their purchases.

Year-over-year, the average EV transaction price is basically flat, down just 0.4%. Incentives averaged 15.3% of ATP in September, or about $8,900 per vehicle – slightly lower than August but higher than a year ago, when incentives averaged 13%.

Tesla, which continues to dominate the EV market, saw an average ATP of $54,138 in September. That’s a slight dip from August and down 6.8% from a year earlier. With Tesla recently introducing the new Standard versions of the Model 3 and Model Y, KBB expects average prices across the segment to fall in the coming months. Erin Keating, executive analyst at Cox Automotive, thinks the market is “ripe for disruption.”

“It is important to remember that the new-vehicle market is inflationary. Prices go up over time, and today’s market is certainly reminding us of that,” said Keating. “The $20,000 vehicle is now mostly extinct, and many price-conscious buyers are sidelined or cruising in the used-vehicle market. Tariffs have introduced new cost pressure to the business, but the pricing story in September was mostly driven by the healthy mix of EVs and higher-end vehicles pushing the new-vehicle ATP into uncharted territory.”

Genesis is about to launch two new ‘electrified’ SUVs based on the GV70

Genesis is about to launch two new 'electrified' SUVs based on the GV70

Genesis-GV70-Hybrid

It’s official. The Genesis GV70 is about to get two new electrified options, including its first hybrid and extended-range (EREV) versions.

Two new Genesis GV70 electrified SUVs are coming soon

Genesis is turning 10, and it’s planning to go all out. Hyundai gave us a look at what’s coming last month during its CEO Investor Day.

The plans include Genesis expanding with new electrified powertrain offerings, including its first hybrid and extended-range electric vehicles.

Up until now, the luxury automaker has focused on fully electric (EV) or internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles. By expanding into different electrified powertrains, Genesis hopes to attract new buyers to the brand while grabbing a bigger share of the luxury market.

Genesis will launch its first hybrid in 2026, the GV80. We knew the GV70 EREV would follow shortly after, but now it’s been confirmed that a hybrid model is also set to join the lineup.

We got our first look at the Genesis GV70 EREV last week. The vehicle was parked in South Korea and appeared to be nearly identical to the current model. Aside from a tag labeling it an EREV and a massive muffler at the back, it looks about the same as the Electrified GV70.

Now, we are finally getting a glimpse of the Hybrid version. The Genesis GV70 Hybrid was also caught by HealerTV in South Korea, this time with an HEV tag.

Like the EREV, the GV70 Hybrid is still covered in camouflage, but this time, you can see the vehicle has the brand’s sport package. The optional package adds sporty exterior and interior elements, including chrome around the Crest Grille and window trim.

The vehicle is still a prototype, so it could change by the time it reaches production form. However, as the reporter points out, the GV70 Hybrid could bring a unique new look to the GV70 series.

On the side of the tire, the letters “FL” are printed, which is typically shown on Hyundai vehicles set to receive a facelift.

Genesis is expected to launch the GV70 EREV in late 2026, followed by the Hybrid version sometime in early 2027.

According to Hyundai, the EREV will have a combined driving range of over 1,000 km (620 miles). Although it still runs on an electric motor, it will feature a small gas motor that acts as a generator to charge the battery and extend the driving range.

Genesis is betting on new electrified vehicles, including EVs, hybrids, and EREVs, to drive growth. The luxury brand aims to expand into up to 20 new European markets while gaining a bigger share of the US market. By 2030, Genesis aims to sell 350,000 vehicles.

Although it had planned to only offer fully electric vehicles from 2030, Genesis backed off on its commitment. Instead, it will use hybrids and EREVs as a bridge to an all-electric future.
