Today’s Green Deals are headlined by ALLPOWERS’ Spring Sale with up to 48% discounts on power stations, extra savings, free gifts, and more. One of the notable standouts during this event is the R2500 Portable Power Station bundled with a 600W solar panel for a new $1,349 low. Coming up behind it is Lectric’s St. Paddy’s Day Sale, which is continuing much of the brand’s spring offers while also increasing savings on some models, like the XP 3.0 e-bikes that are getting up to $574 in free gear and start from $999. Next, we have a selection of Greenworks electric pressure washers led by the Pro-tier 3,000 PSI model down at $297, as well as Jackery’s Explorer 1000 v2 Portable Power Station that is undercutting the brand’s direct Spring Sale pricing to $449. Plus, all the other hangover Green Deals are in the links at the bottom of the page, like yesterday’s MOD Spring e-bike Sale with $650 off its latest release, and more.

ALLPOWERS Spring Sale takes 48% off power stations with bonus savings, free gear, and more – all from $49

ALLPOWERS has launched its Spring Sale through March 25, with up to 48% being taken off power stations, solar generator bundles, and solar panels – with bonus savings for your initial cart total, as well as extra savings at certain pricing thresholds (more on those below) and free gifts. One new low price we’re seeing among this event’s direct website-exclusive offers is on the R2500 Portable Power Station that comes with a 600W solar panel for $1,349.10 shipped, after using the promo code AFSPRING at checkout for 10% off. Normally, this package would run you $2,199 at full price, which we’ve seen fall as low as $1,499 in past sales. While this is already a solid starting point, the savings get even better with the sitewide 10% off discount on your cart, which drops things lower than we’ve seen at $850 off, landing at a new all-time low.

Before we get into the solar generator’s capabilities, I want to go over the different levels of extra savings we’re seeing during ALLPOWERS’ Spring Sale. First, orders over $1,300 will receive an automatic 5% off discount, while orders over $2,200 will receive 7% off and orders over $3,000 will receive 10% off. However, you can get a sitewide 10% off your cart’s total by using the exclusive code AFSPRING at checkout, which doesn’t seem to stack with the other savings – meaning you can skip over those automatic discounts for the maximum savings on any order by just using the code! You’ll also score some free gear at certain thresholds too, with orders over $1,900 getting a free 100W solar panel, while orders over $2,500 get a free S300 288Wh power station and orders over $3,500 get a free 200W solar panel.

Arriving in a sleek and streamlined unit, ALLPOWERS’ R2500 power station delivers a 2,016Wh LiFePO4 battery capacity with 14 output ports that can dish out up to 2,500W of power, peaking at 4,000W. It provides the typical collection of smart controls that you can access through its app alongside four methods of recharging its own battery – AC, solar, auto, and dual AC with solar. Connecting it to a standard wall outlet refills the battery in about 1.3 hours, while utilizing its 1,000W solar input can do the same in two hours time (so this featured bundle with 600W panel gets you fairly close to this timeframe). These times can be cut down to just one hour when connecting both to an AC outlet while using the max solar input too.

There are quite a few other options for the R2500 power station, with the unit alone costing you $809 (down from $1,599). Next, there are a few varying solar generator bundles, like the power station coming with a 200W solar panel for $989 (down from $1,799), a 400W solar panel for $1,169 (also down from $1,799), or you can double its capacity with an expansion battery for $1,168 (down from $2,498).

***Note: The prices below have not had any of the extra savings factored in – be sure to use the promo code AFSPRING at checkout to score the maximum savings though!

Lectric XP 3.0 e-bike

Lectric’s St. Paddy’s Day flash sale increases savings on XP 3.0 e-bikes with up to $574 in free gear from $999

Lectric has launched its St. Paddy’s Day flash sale through the holiday next week, which is continuing much of its Spring Forward Sale pricing (along with the clearance sales and the extra battery promotion) while also offering a buy-two-get-one-free deal on accessories. We are spotting a bundle increase on Lectric’s popular XP 3.0 e-bikes, with the Long-Range models retaining their price cuts to $1,139 shipped with $574 in free gear while the standard models are at $999 shipped with $455 in free gear. These packages would normally run you $1,713 and $1,454, respectively, but you’ll be getting the biggest bundle savings we’ve seen yet in 2025. If you go with the standard models, you’ll be getting a comfort seat, suspension seat post, Elite headlight, an accordion style bike lock, and steel-encased front and rear cargo baskets. The Long-Range models also get this same gear with the addition of a phone mount, a bottle holder with a mounting adapter, and a bell.

The most popular of the brand’s commuting solutions, the XP 3.0 e-bikes all sport a 500W hub motor that peaks up at 1,000W to hit 20 MPH speeds, which can go higher up to 28 MPH speeds, depending on your state’s laws. The main difference between the standard models and the long-range models is the battery – which will either provide you with 45 miles of travel (standard) or up to 65 miles (long-range) when utilizing the PAS support. Keep in mind for folks who enjoy cruising with only electric power that you’ll get about half the mileage. Along with the free add-on gear, you’ll also enjoy some quality stock features, like the integrated rear cargo rack, puncture-resistant tires, 180mm hydraulic disc brakes, a foldable body, an LCD display, and more.

And if you’re interested in taking advantage of the sale’s buy-two-get-one-free accessory deals to deck out your e-bike that you already own, be sure to follow this link to the landing page to browse and shop among the large collection of included accessories. The discount will be automatically applied in your cart to the lowest-priced item.

greenworks pro 3,000 PSI electric pressure washer

Gear up for outdoor cleaning with Greenworks’ Pro-tier 3,000 PSI electric pressure washer at $297

Amazon is now offering the Greenworks Pro 3,000 PSI Electric Pressure Washer for $296.99 shipped. This model would normally run you $450, though we’ve been seeing it regularly drop down between $310 and $350 during most sales over the last year, with it last hitting the $290 low back during Black Friday sales. Today’s deal comes with a 34% markdown, cutting $153 off the going rate and landing it at the second-lowest price we have tracked – just $7 above the all-time low.

With spring approaching, plenty of folks are gearing up to start their cleaning routines, especially outdoors, and this Pro-tier electric pressure washer from Greenworks comes ready to tackle the grime and return pristine appearances to your home. The heavy-duty frame houses the 14A TruBrushless motor that maxes out an a powerful 3,000 PSI with a 1.1 to 2.0 GPM flow rate. Along with its powerful performance, there’s also an onboard one-gallon detergent tank and a bunch of included accessories too – with five versatile nozzles that have provided onboard storage alongside the 25 feet of non-marring hose. To help save you money while ensuring a longer lifespan for its motor, it’s been given Greenworks’ Total Stop System that shuts off the pump the moment the trigger is disengaged.

Jackery explorer 1000 v2 portable power station

Amazon beats out Jackery’s direct sale pricing on the Explorer 1000 v2 1,070Wh LiFePO4 power station for $449

Jackery’s official Amazon storefront is undercutting its direct Spring Sale pricing (ending March 12) on the Explorer 1000 v2 Portable Power Station that is down at $449 shipped, after clipping the on-page $50 off coupon. Normally going for $799 at full price, discounts have mainly been keeping it at $499 in 2025, though we did spy it undercutting its Valentine’s sale last month in a similar fashion – with this rate only beaten out by the $399 low we saw during Black Friday/Cyber Monday sales. You can pick one up for your backup power needs today with a $350 markdown, which is the best we’ve seen since November, landing the cost back at the second-lowest price we have tracked.

One of Jackery’s upgraded v2 models that sport the brand’s ChargeShield 2.0 tech for 62 forms of charging protections, the Explorer 1000 v2 can handle outdoor ventures and emergency backup needs alike with a 1,070Wh LiFePO4 capacity and 1,500W output (surging to 3,000W) through its seven port options. Plugging it into a wall outlet recharges the battery in 1.6 hours, which can be cut down to just one hour after you’ve activated the emergency charging features through its app – giving you ensured juice during sudden storm warnings or for last-minute plans. There’s also a maximum 600W solar input, which regains a full battery in three hours in the sun – plus, you can start towards that goal with a 200W solar panel bundled alongside it for $749 right now, down from $1,299.

Aside from this deal, we’re still seeing some incredible deals coming from Jackery’s direct Spring Sale, with up to 50% off units, new solar generator low prices, extra savings, and more – but don’t dawdle too long as the sale ends tomorrow night (March 12).

All the EVs you can buy with 0% financing in July, 2025

Tesla Cybertruck 0% interest

The feces-filled freight train of dystopian horrors rolls on with the passage of the Big Beautiful Bill and the untimely demise of the $7,500 federal EV tax credit. But if you’re ready to pull the trigger on a new EV this month, you’re in luck! There are plenty of great options with zero interest financing to choose from … and one with zero interest in general.

You know how we usually do these lists – some pictures, a few punchy paragraphs, and an invitation to explore local deals.

We’re doing things a little differently this month. Instead of brief write-ups, we’re highlighting the most significant 0% deal of the month (yes, that is largely opinion-based – thanks for noticing), and an “honorable mention” that doesn’t quite fit the 0% EV deal template … but might still be worth checking out.

Enough talk! Here are the deals.

Most significant new 0% offer

Tesla Powerwall 3 Cybertruck

Demand for Tesla Cybertrucks has been a long, long way from the “conservative” 250,000 per year projections Elon was making just a few years ago. Demand for the low-poly electric pickup is so dismal, in fact, that Tesla is offering 0% financing on a new Cybertruck for up to 60 months – if you’re willing to spring for the company’s Full Self Driving (Supervised) level 2 ADAS.

Not quite a 0% EV deal

Volvo-EX90-price

Don’t act surprised – my Twitter handle is VolvoJo, after all, and I’m on my fifth consecutive long-roof Swede as I type this. As such, when trying out a new format for this monthly column it made perfect sense to check out the Ironmark’s offers … and I found a good one: a new, not perfect but getting there seven-passenger EX90 at 1.99% financing plus $1,000 in “Summer Safety Bonus Cash.”

Is zero interest financing good enough to overcome the fact that most people seem to have zero interest in buying a CT these days? Is the Volvo worth a look at 1.99% with an additional $1,000 cash back? Let us know your take in the comments – but before you do that, check out the full list of 0% interest EV deals for July 2025 and click the links for additional local deals.

Lectric XP Trike2 launched as the affordable new electric trike every senior needs!

Lectric XP Trike2 launched as the affordable new electric trike every senior needs!

The new Lectric XP Trike2, just unveiled today, is the hands-down winner in the best-bang-for-your-buck category of electric trikes. And as perhaps the longest-running electric bike reviewer in the industry, I can say that with confidence. I’ve seen a lot of electric bikes in my time. I’ve spent a lot of butt-in-saddle hours on e-trikes. But I’ve never before seen a value like this roll by on three wheels.

As an able-bodied, mid-30s electric bike rider (and writer), I’ll be the first to say that electric trikes aren’t just for older folks. They’re fun e-bikes in their own right. But let’s face it – the vast majority of the market for electric three-wheelers are those who just aren’t as comfortable on two wheels due to age, accessibility, or other reasons. And so if you’re a senior or otherwise on the hunt for a fun and affordable electric trike, the Lectric XP Trike2 is probably the one you’re going to end up getting, and deservingly so!

If you don’t know Lectric eBikes, they’re the Phoenix-based e-bike company that took the US by storm in the early 2020s, quickly growing into the #1 best-selling e-bike company on the continent. They started with the ultra affordable, high-value XP line of e-bikes, and then took that same recipe to other types of e-bikes, from cargo bikes to off-roaders, and now to trikes.

The new XP Trike2 is the latest generation of their best-selling e-trike, and it’s absolutely better than ever.

Advertisement – scroll for more content

First of all though, let’s look at what stayed the same. The ultra-affordable price of $1,499 remains untouched, keeping this not only one of the best e-trikes on the market, but also the most affordable. It also keeps the low step-over height for easy mounts and dismounts, the folding frame to help riders transport it more easily, and the powerful motor that makes it a great hill climber.

Other than those features, basically everything else has received an upgrade.

First of all, we now get included suspension with a 50mm suspension fork up front. The frame has been redesigned with a new hydroformed aluminum downtube and a more stable footprint. The stem angle has been modified to make it more comfortable and allow a more upright, relaxed riding posture. A more powerful and longer-range version of the Trike2 is also available, upgrading the motor with 50% more power for even better hill climbing, as well as including a torque sensor for more responsive pedaling and a longer-range battery.

The included TFT color screen is a major upgrade over the older model, and there are even six new colors to choose from, which is a major improvement over the original XP Trike’s color option list of… one.

Base model versus the long-range upgrade

Both the base model (Lectric XP Trike2 500) and the higher-spec option (XP Trike2 750) are compelling options, but they’ll likely serve different types of riders.

Even the base model comes with a reasonably large 13 Ah (624 Wh) battery, which is already going to give most riders at least 30 miles of range (or a claimed 50 miles if using low power pedal assist and riding slower). Plus, the 500W motor is actually much more powerful, likely peaking at closer to 1,000W of actual power. That’s the “oomph” that riders will feel when climbing hills. And for many folks, that’s plenty. Plus, the $1,499 price of the XP Trike2 500 is quite attractive.

But riders who want to upgrade to the XP Trike2 750, the higher price of $1,799 does come with some nice upgrades. First of all, the higher power 750W motor will be that much better at climbing hills, helping riders up steeper inclines, or just maintaining higher speeds up the same slopes. Next, the larger 17.5 Ah (840 Wh) battery is going to give more range, to the tune of nearly 50 miles with mixed riding (or the claimed 70 miles if using lower power pedal assist and staying off the throttle). The other benefit of a bigger battery is that it simply doesn’t need to be charged as often. Even if you’re riding around at 10 mph for an hour each day, that’s a week of riding before you have to think about recharging the battery.

The last significant upgrade on the 750W model is a torque sensor, which is a more refined pedal assist sensor that results in a more natural feeling ride when pedaling. For riders who only use the throttle, there’s not much benefit to a torque sensor. But for anyone who actually wants to pedal along and get a bit of fitness in, the torque sensor means the acceleration and the riding just better mimic the natural feel of bicycle pedaling, making it more like real pedaling – albeit if you had the legs and muscle definition of a professional cyclist.

All of this is to say: The base model with 500W of power is likely sufficient for most riders, but that extra $300 does offer better hill climbing, more power, longer range, and a nicer pedaling experience – which may be important for some riders.

Lectric may have announced the XP Trike2 today, but they aren’t quite ready to ship. In something of a throwback to Lectric’s early days, the bikes are available on pre-order. Orders placed now get priority, with the 500W model shipping later this month (July 2025). The 750W models will take a bit longer, with current orders expected to ship by September.

It’s a bit of a delayed gratification situation, but if the XP Trike2 is anything like the original (and it looks to be even better), then these bikes are absolutely going to be worth the wait!

Electrek’s Take

Once again, Lectric has left all the other e-bike makers fighting over second place. My hat is off to the company – time and again they have surprised us with increasingly better e-bike generations at increasingly the same price. Each time they roll out a bike, they give us more and more, all without touching the price tag.

The XP Trike2 follows that strategy perfectly, though it definitely looks like they’re hoping the XP Trike2 750 will bring slightly fatter margins – perhaps making up for just how ridiculously affordable the XP Trike2 500 is. And while I think the lower power model will be sufficient for most people, that bigger battery, beefier motor, and nicer torque sensor do sound like a tempting upgrade.

I haven’t ridden the XP Trike2 yet, but I will be on it soon and I can’t wait to share the experience with you guys. In the meantime, let’s hear what you think about the new e-trike in the comment section below!

E-quipment highlight: Kubota mini excavator goes from diesel to EV and back

E-quipment highlight: Kubota mini excavator goes from diesel to EV and back

Kubota highlights retrofit batteries for mini excavators

Japanese equipment giant Kubota brought 22 new or updated machines to the 2025 bauma expo earlier this year, but tucked away in the corners was a new retrofit kit that can help existing customers decarbonize more quickly, and more affordably.

No matter how badly a fleet may want to electrify, harsh economic realities and the greater up-front costs typically associated with battery electric remain high hurdles to overcome, but new retrofit options from major manufacturers are popping up to help lower those obstacles.

The latest equipment maker to put its name on the retrofit list is Kubota, who says its kit can be installed by a trained dealer in a single day.

That’s right! By this time tomorrow, your diesel-powered Kubota KX019 or U27-4 excavator (shown) could be fitted with an 18 or 20 kWh li-ion battery pack and electric drive motors and ready to get to work in a low-noise or low-vibration work environment where emissions are a strict no-no. Think indoor precision demolition or historic archeological excavation.

Then, if necessary, it can go right back to diesel power.

From diesel to electric and back again

U27-4e electric retrofit; via Kubota.

If that sounds familiar, that’s because we’ve talked about a similarly flexible power solution from ZQUIP. The battery packs and diesel engines are much larger in that application, but the basic sales pitch remains the same: electric when it benefits your operation, diesel it doesn’t.

Kubota says its modular retrofit kits is a response to the increasing global demand for sustainable alternatives by focusing on making machinery that’s flexible and repairable enough to be “reusable,” and offer construction fleet managers a longer operational lifespan, superior ROI (return on investment), and lower TCO (total cost of ownership) than the competition.

Kubota’s solution also notably reduces maintenance costs and operational overheads. With no engine and associated components, servicing time and expenses are considerably reduced, saving customers both time and money. Additionally, with electricity costing far less than fossil fuels, it offers a highly economical advantage.

KUBOTA

International Rental News reports that other changes to the excavators include a more modern cab controls with a digital instrument cluster, a 60 mm wider undercarriage for more stability, and an independent travel circuit allows operators to use the boom, dipper, bucket, and auxiliary functions without an impact on tracking performance.

Kubota’s new kit, first shown at last year’s Hillhead exhibition in the UK, will officially be on sale this summer – any day now, in fact – though pricing has yet to be announced.

Electrek’s Take

If you’re wondering how it is that we’re still talking about bauma 2025 a full quarter after the show wrapped up, then I haven’t done a good enough job of explaining how positively massive the show was. Check out this Quick Charge episode (above) then let us know what you think of Kubota’s modular power kits in the comments.
