We’re starting this week’s Green Deals by shining a spotlight back on the crazy new low prices coming from Rad Power’s latest sale, this time on the RadRunner Plus and RadRunner 3 Plus Utility e-bikes that are down at $1,299 and $1,699 while supplies last. Next, we have an exclusive new low for our readers on the Bluetti AC180P Portable Power Station at $487 coming from Wellbots. Following behind these are Worx’s 12A 350 CFM Trivac Electric Leaf Blower/Vacuum/Mulcher at $79, among other tools, as well as a limited Lightning deal on Anker’s PowerCore Reserve 60,000mAh Power Bank Station for $90 (currently at 7% claimed while writing this). Plus, all the other hangover Green Deals from last week are in the links at the bottom of the page, collected together in our Electrified Weekly roundup from over the weekend.

Don’t miss out on Rad Power’s upgraded RadRunner Plus and RadRunner 3 Plus utility e-bikes at new lows from $1,299
There are still a few days left of Rad Power’s latest sale running through February 26, which is also giving us three new low prices on its RadRunner series of e-bikes. Alongside the $999 low hitting the RadRunner 2, there’s also the RadRunner Plus Utility e-bike at $1,299 shipped and the RadRunner 3 Plus Utility e-bike at $1,699 shipped. Normally these two models would run you either $1,799 or $2,199 at full price, with discounts before this sale having only gone as low as $1,499 for the RadRunner Plus and $1,899 for the RadRunner 3 Plus. These are the best new rates we’ve seen on these models, giving you $500 in savings and a versatile option for commutes, running errands, and more.
Hopping on the RadRunner Plus Utility e-bike, you’ll be getting 45+ miles of travel on a single charge of its 672Wh battery when utilizing its five levels of pedal assistance, while the 750W motor provides top speeds of 20 MPH. Of course, there is a throttle for pure electric cruising, though at the cost of mileage, as well as a collection of solid stock features. Your riding experience also benefits from the Kenda K-Rad 20-inch tires with fenders over each, Tektro Aries mechanical disc brakes, an LED Headlight that can be set to automatically turn on in lower light settings, an integrated taillight with brake lighting and a flash mode, a 7-speed Shimano derailleur, an integrated rear cargo rack with a 120-pound carrying capacity, a half-twist throttle, and a backlit LCD display with a USB port to charge your devices.
The upgraded RadRunner 3 Plus e-bike sports the same 750W motor and 672Wh battery combination to provide 45+ miles of travel through its five PAS levels at up to 20 MPH speeds. There are some notable differences here though, like the Tektro hydraulic disc brakes that provide better stopping power (over the RadRunner 2’s mechanical ones), as well as a 350-pound payload (50 pounds more), and a longer step-thru design for a more ergonomic riding position. There are also other features like puncture-resistant fat tires, fenders over both wheels, the LED headlight and brake-light capable integrated taillight (with the auto-on functionality), and LCD display, but surprisingly it doesn’t come with the USB port.
Don’t miss out on these deals while they last, with the other three e-bike discounts on the brand’s folding, cargo, and off-road models lasting until February 26 – plus, there’s the accessory deals accompanying the newest releases. As I stated, the brand is saying these new Utility e-bike lows will last as long as supplies do, so there’s no telling yet if they’ll continue after the sale ends.
Exclusive $412 in savings hits Bluetti’s 1,440Wh AC180P LiFePO4 power station at new $487 low
We have a 9to5Toys exclusive deal from Wellbots for our readers, which gives you the Bluetti AC180P Portable Power Station for $486.75 shipped, after using the promo code 9TO5POWER25 at checkout. This model would normally run you $899 here, with a higher $999 price tag accompanying it direct from Bluetti and even going higher to $1,099 at other retailers. While we don’t see many discounts hitting this power station on average, when it does get a price cut it usually only falls to $899, though we did offer similar exclusive savings back in October that brought things all the way down to $499. Today’s deal gives you a 46% markdown that cuts $412 off the tag for a new all-time low price.
The largest of the AC180 series, Bluetti’s AC180P portable power station makes a great companion for outdoor enthusiasts who might also want a backup power option for unexpected emergencies at home. It provides a 1,440Wh LiFePO4 capacity, delivering up to 1,800W (surging to 2,700W) output – plus, it’s rated to hold an 80% charge for three to six months, meaning a short charge time two to four times a year ensures it’s always ready to go. You’ll even be getting more port options than its counterparts, sporting four ACs, four USB-As, one USB-C, one DC car port, and even a wireless charger.
Recharging takes barely any time at all thanks to the turbo-charging tech here, which reaches an 80% battery in 45 minutes or a 100% battery in 1.8 hours when plugged into a standard wall outlet. There’s also the option to equip up to its maximum 500W solar input to recharge in 3.3 hours via the sun’s rays, or connect it to your car for a 12.5-hour charging period. Of course, you’ll also have full smart controls over its settings and performance, as well, all accessed through the companion app.
Blow it, bag it, mulch it with Worx’s 12A 350 CFM Trivac at $79
Amazon is now offering the Worx WG505 Trivac 12A 3-in-1 Electric Leaf Blower/Leaf Vacuum/Mulcher for $79 shipped. Normally fetching $100 at full price, we’ve mainly seen it keeping above $80 over the last year, though it did go as low as $69 during Black Friday and $65 during October’s Prime Day event. While not the lowest price, it still sits down on the lower end of the spectrum just $15 above the all-time lowest rate, giving you a solid 21% markdown here and a well-rounded budget-friendly lawncare solution for more versatile use.
Adding Worx’s Trivac to your arsenal lets you work far smarter over working harder thanks to the 3-in-1 functionality for blowing, collecting, and/or even mulching fallen debris throughout your yard. Using it as a standard blower provides 350 CFM, maxing out at 210 MPH airflow. You can also flip the switch to simply collect it all into the complementary bag, giving you an easier means to transfer everything to a trash bag later. According to the company, with its two-stage metal impeller and shredder blades, this Trivac model “mulches 16 bags of leaves down into 1.”
The operation doesn’t put much strain on the body, as the device only weighs in at 8.6 pounds, with an angled collection nozzle for easier cleaning under patio furniture or your deck. Keep in mind that this is a corded model, which means you can just plug and go rather than wait for a battery to fill back up first. If you want the latest model with upgraded power, you’ll also find the newer 600 CFM Trivac model down at $95 from its usual $120.

Anker’s PowerCore Reserve 60,000mAh power bank station only adds five pounds to your bag at $90
Anker’s official Amazon storefront is having a Lightning deal on the popular PowerCore Reserve 60,000mAh Portable Power Bank Station for $89.99 shipped in both colorways. Normally posted with a $150 price tag, we saw it spend most of the last year keeping above $100, though since November we’ve been seeing more frequent cuts down to $90 and the occasional fall to the $80 low. You’re looking at the second-lowest price we have tracked here today, which puts $60 back into your pocket and is beating out Anker’s direct site where it’s currently priced at $113. Don’t dawdle too long on decisions, while only 1% has been claimed when writing this, this model tends to sell out fast when stock is limited.
A solid choice for anyone wanting a larger day-to-day backup power option for their devices, Anker’s PowerCore Reserve beats out the usual 5,000mAh to 20,000mAh models with an even greater 60,000mAh/192Wh capacity. Through its two USB-A ports and/or the two USB-C ports, it delivers up to 60W charging speeds – plus, you can’t beat its bag-ready form factor coming in at just five pounds. Speaking of its design, the crown provides a reliable light source via the pop-up light, complete with two brightness levels and an S.O.S button for emergencies. It offers two methods to recharge its own batteries: either by plugging it into a wall outlet or utilizing up to its 60W solar input limit (sold separately).

Greenworks’ latest 60V cordless chainsaw delivers performance that rivals many gas models, but without the harmful emissions or annoying pull cord. Whether dropping saplings, pruning thick limbs, or clearing up trails after a storm, this battery-powered tool is ready to work.
First released at last year’s CES show in Las Vegas, Greenworks’ 60V li-ion battery packs enough power for 100 clean cuts of the saw’s 16″ blade, and its lightweight, 12.5 lb. frame, tool-less chain tensioner, and automatic oiling system come together for convenient maintenance and easy-to-control power.
When it’s time to get to work, the chainsaw’s brushless electric motor can spin the chain at more than 10,000 rpm with (the company claims) about 20% more torque than a 42cc gas chainsaw for fast, confident cuts through hard woods while keeping noise and vibration to a minimum.
That low-noise and fume-free operation makes Greenworks’ chainsaws an upgrade for both the operator and the neighborhood.
Greenworks’ 60- and 80-volt batteries aren’t just for chainsaws, either. Greenworks’ batteries can power more than 75 indoor and outdoor products – including hedge trimmers, leaf blowers, even riding lawn mowers, and the STEALTH fat-tire electric mini-motorcycle that made its debut earlier this year.
“Greenworks is proud to offer comprehensive battery-powered solutions for everyone, from homeowners and outdoor enthusiasts to major commercial landscaping contractors,” Klaus Hahn, Greenworks’ President, explained at its launch. “These innovations further our company’s vision of building a more powerful future with clean energy, and they illustrate our tagline ‘Life. Powered. By Greenworks.’”
Greenworks 60V chainsaw specs
- up to 100 cuts on a single charge with the included 2.5Ah battery on 4×4 wood
- 20% more torque and faster cutting than a 42cc gas chainsaw
- no prime, no choke, no pull with no aggravating pull cord
- 2.0 kW (2.7 hp) max output
- brushless motor provides more power, longer run-times, and extended life
The Greenworks 60V 16″ brushless cordless chainsaw, a 2.5Ah battery, and charger are available online for $299.99 – but it’s on sale for “just” $189.99 (or $192.49, with the 18″ arm) on Amazon through September 18th.
If you needed another reason to check it out, the company claims using the electric chainsaw instead of a gas unit saves as much carbon emissions as driving 11,000 miles.

Heavy mineral and metals mining is one of the dirtiest industries on the planet, but Chinese equipment giant XCMG doesn’t think it has to stay that way. To prove it, the company has unveiled a sweeping pledge to electrify and decarbonize mining — and they’re dragging over 100 global partners with them.
Along with with 107 global industry partners from 26 countries, Chinese equipment brand XCMG has issued a Joint Declaration on Global Zero-Carbon Smart Mining, aiming to electrify, automate, and otherwise decarbonize international mining. The pledge addresses 12 key areas including electrification, autonomous operation, net-zero emissions, circular economy, technology sharing, international cooperation, and smarter maintenance strategies.
“As a global leader in zero-carbon smart mining solutions, XCMG is committed to addressing industry bottlenecks through integrating new energy equipment, intelligent control systems and full-lifecycle services,” said Yang Dongsheng, chairman of XCMG Group. “We have resolved the four core challenges of energy infrastructure, new energy equipment portfolios, smart mining management systems and financial support, aiming to help our customers achieving both business growth and environmental wins.”
It’s always great to see efforts like this to decarbonize. But those efforts mean millions of new equipment assets to replace the millions of existing diesel assets deployed currently.
As luck would have it, XCMG is perfectly positioned to offer those zero-emissions equipment assets. The company says it has, “the complete mining equipment solutions for open-pit and underground mines, as well as its smart construction ecosystem.”
XCMG will sell you the future, today
Multinational mining companies like Fortescue are saving up to $400 million per year on fuel costs alone with the few assets its electrified (or repowered) already, there are more than environmental reasons to push for a coalition like this — especially if you’re XCMG, whose BYD-developed battery swap technology puts them a step or three ahead of even the excellent equipment options from Volvo CE.
With a strong hand in the autonomous haul truck race and ultra-competitive pricing to back their electric plays, it seems like XCMG is about to get serious as it expands its reach into the Western world. It’s no wonder the legacy brands are running scared and hiding behind the bogus “messy middle” propaganda!
