Lastly, we have Worx’s WG509 12A Trivac 3-in-1 Electric Leaf Blower/Mulcher/Vacuum that has fallen to $70, among other lawn care equipment from the brand.

Anker’s final SOLIX spring flash sale offers giant deals on F3800 power station bundles at up to $7,032 off

As part of its ongoing Spring Sale through March 31, Anker has launched the last of its SOLIX Spring Sale flash offers running through the rest of the month and taking up to 44% off in initial savings on a selection of F3800 bundles, as well as any additional savings you can score on packages that are over $3,000. Things are starting with the SOLIX F3800 Portable Power Station coming along with two 200W solar panels at $2,799 shipped. This bundle would normally cost you $4,997 at full price, which we don’t usually see featured in sales as much as we do the counterpart bundle with a single 400W panel. Today’s deal is coming in lower than we’ve tracked before thanks to the $2,198 markdown, which gives you a versatile and modular backup solution at the best price we can find. If you’d prefer the latest F3800 Plus model, be sure to check out the massive savings from its launch that have been extended alongside these deals.

Anker’s SOLIX F3800 is one of the best options for folks who want more versatility and expandability, as it starts with a 3,840Wh LiFePO4 capacity that can rise as high as 26.9kWh with future investments into its compatible expansion batteries (or scoring them in a bundle below). It puts out a normal 6,000W of output power that can surge up to 9,000W for large-scale appliances and home backup needs. There are 15+ output port options to connect to, which include dedicated ports for your RV, EV, and your home’s circuit breaker – though the latter will require either the Home Backup Kit for sectional support or the Home Power Panel for whole-home coverage and roof panel connections. You can recharge its own battery through an AC wall outlet, or connect up to its maximum 2,400W of solar input, which can refill the battery to 80% in 1.5 hours with ideal conditions.

If you’re trying to figure out which would be best for you – Anker’s SOLIX F3800 or the new SOLIX F3800 Plus, there are only a few differences to really keep in mind. First, the F3800 Plus has an increased solar input of 3,200W, as well as an increased capacity that it can take in from a generator. From there, it mainly depends on whether you’re an RV trekker or not – as the standard F3800 offers both L14-30R and 14-50R port options, while the F3800 Plus provides L14-30R and TT-30R ports, better for RV backup needs. Be sure to check out the full rundown of capabilities for the newly released F3800 Plus and its massive savings in our original coverage here.

Anker’s final SOLIX Spring Sale F3800 flash offers:

  • F3800 (7,680Wh) with expansion battery and home backup kit: $4,084 (Reg. $7,097)
    • Bonus 5% savings automatically applied in cart
    • Comes with free protective cover
  • F3800 (11,520Wh) with two expansion batteries: $4,928 (Reg. $8,997)
    • Bonus 7% savings automatically applied in cart
    • Comes with free protective cover
  • Two F3800s (15kWh) with two batteries, home power kit, and four 410W panels: $9,299 (Reg. $16,331)
    • Bonus 7% savings automatically applied in cart

These flash sale offers will be running for the rest of the month alongside Anker’s overall SOLIX Spring Sale deals, and be sure to also check out the extended F3800 Plus savings, as well as the recently added EverFrost 2 Electric Cooler savings, which will both last through the end of the main sale.

EVOLV Terra Electric Scooter

EVOLV takes up to $400 in spring savings off four of its electric scooters starting from $1,129

EVOLV has a Spring Sale savings event going on right now, which is taking up to $400 off a selection of its higher-end e-scooters, starting with the TERRA Electric Scooter that starts at the lowest rate of $1,129 shipped, after using the promo code SPRING-SALE at checkout. Coming off its usual $1,229 price tag, we don’t see too many discounts across the lineup and when we do, it’s often in small amounts, with this model usually only seeing this same $100 markdown – including for Black Friday, which has only been beaten once over the last year when it hit a new $1,079 low in September. You’re looking at the second-lowest price we have tracked while these savings last.

The popular TERRA e-scooter sports dual 600W motors alongside a 15.6Ah battery, giving it the capabilities to reach 31 MPH top speeds and carry you anywhere for up to 34 miles on a single five to seven hours of charging. There are two driving modes here – the dual mode, activating both motors to produce up to 2,200W of peak power for maximum speed and tackling inclines, as well as the eco mode, which only utilizes one motor to limit things at 15 MPH, providing longer-lasting rides. Among its stock features, you’ll find front and rear shock suspension, dual drum brakes, dual LED headlights and dual LED taillights, as well as in-deck lights too – plus, the folding frame that conserves storage space when its not in use.

EVOLV’s other Spring e-scooter deals:

Worx 12A Trivac blower/vacuum/mulcher

Clear yard debris by blowing, collecting, and/or mulching with Worx’s 12A Trivac at $70

As part of its Big Spring Sale, Amazon is offering the Worx WG509 12A Trivac 3-in-1 Electric Leaf Blower/Mulcher/Vacuum for $70.48 shipped. It’s coming down off its usual $100 price tag here today, with the last year mainly seeing prices drop between $75 and $95 on average, though we did see it go as low as $65 during Black Friday. While we have seen the price drop as far as $60 in the past, this deal gives you one of the best recent rates we’ve tracked at $30 off the going rate, landing it down among the lowest we have seen.

The Worx Trivac was designed with the phrase “work smarter, not harder” in mind, offering up a 3-in-1 functionality to either blow, collect, and/or mulch the debris in your yard. The standard blower settings max out at 210 MPH worth of airflow, while the included bag provides the means for collection, which is controlled via a simple flip of a switch. It boasts a two-stage metal impeller and shredder blades to complete mulching tasks, which Worx assures “takes 18 bags worth of leaves and chops it down into one.” It weighs in at only 10 pounds for easier use despite varying sizes and strengths, and sports an angled collection nozzle so you can even reach under patio furniture, your deck, and more. This is a corded model, by the way, so you just have to keep it plugged in for prolonged use rather than wait for any batteries to recharge.

New ‘world’s lightest, most efficient’ e-bike motor lands on another model

New 'world's lightest, most efficient' e-bike motor lands on another model

Last week, we reported that the e-bike world had a new motor claiming to be the lightest and most efficient. Now, we’re already seeing TQ’s new TQHPR40 motor proliferate on more road and gravel e-bikes, including the recently announced E-ASTR from Ridely.

Ridley’s new E‑ASTR brings lightweight electric assistance to its already impressive ASTR gravel platform, powered by the cutting-edge TQ HPR40 mid-drive system. Unlike bulkier e‑bike setups, this system adds just 1.17 kg (2.6 lb) at the crank and a discreet 1.46 kg (3.2 lb) and 290 Wh battery hidden within the downtube, keeping the frame’s silhouette nearly identical to the non-electric version of the same bike. According to BikeRumor, riders looking closely might spot only a slightly fatter downtube, internal cable routing, and a handlebar-end LED indicator, giving visual clues without shouting “electric bike.”

What the E‑ASTR gives up in sheer power from the petite motor, it gains in ride feel. The HPR40 is said to deliver a modest 40 Nm of torque and up to 200W of assist, or enough to smooth out climbs or offer a tailwind on gravel without overpowering the rider. With support cut off at 25 km/h (15.5 mph), pedal responsiveness remains natural and fluid. Combined with the ASTR’s race-inspired geometry, the bike looks to offer sharp handling and comfort suited to the rigors of modern gravel routes.

Ridley is currently offering the E‑ASTR in three spec levels: a value SRAM Apex XPLR AXS build €7,199 (or approximately US $8,500), a mid-range SRAM Rival XPLR AXS 1×13 version for €8,199 (or approximately US $9,700), and a top-tier Shimano GRX 2×12 Di2 model for €8,899 (or approximately US $10,500). Each features high-end drivetrains, integrated cockpit options, carbon wheels, and industry-standard gravel brakes and tires. With its race-ready frame and stealthy, lightweight e‑assistance, the E‑ASTR is positioning itself as a high-performance gravel machine that stays true to its roots, delivering help when needed, without overshadowing the rider.

Wait, you’re telling me that’s an electric bike?!

Ultra-lightweight motors like the TQHPR40 are quietly reshaping the e-bike industry by making electric assistance almost invisible, both in looks and in feel. As systems shrink and integrate more seamlessly into traditional bike frames, they’re opening the door to new categories of performance-oriented e-bikes that preserve the ride dynamics of analog bikes while offering just enough support when it counts.

For riders who value a natural pedaling experience but still want a little help on climbs or longer days, and especially for aging riders who want to maintain their riding habits despite father time taking an impact on joints and muscles, these minimalist systems are proving that you don’t need a bulky battery or a massive motor to get the benefits of going electric. The result is a wave of stealthy, high-performance e-bikes that are less about replacing effort and more about enhancing the ride.

Hyundai is about to reveal a new EV and it could be the affordable IONIQ 2

Hyundai-IONIQ-2-EV

Hyundai is getting ready to shake things up. A new electric crossover SUV, likely the Hyundai IONIQ 2, is set to debut in the coming months. It will sit below the Kona Electric as Hyundai expands its entry-level EV lineup.

Is Hyundai launching the IONIQ 2 in 2026?

After launching the Inster late last year, Hyundai is already preparing to introduce a new entry-level EV in Europe.

Xavier Martinet, President and CEO of Hyundai Europe, confirmed that the new EV will be revealed “in the next few months.” It will be built in Europe and scheduled to go on sale in mid-2026.

Hyundai’s new electric crossover is expected to be a twin to the Kia EV2, which will likely arrive just ahead of it next year.

It will be underpinned by the same E-GMP platform, which powers all IONIQ and Kia EV models (EV3, EV4, EV5, EV6, and EV9).

Like the Kia EV3, it will likely be available with either a 58.3 kWh or 81.4 kWh battery pack option. The former provides a WLTP range of 267 miles while the latter is rated with up to 372 miles. All trims are powered by a single electric motor at the front, producing 201 hp and 209 lb-ft of torque.

Although it may share the same underpinnings as the EV2, Hyundai’s new entry-level EV will feature an advanced new software and infotainment system.

According to Autocar, the interior will represent a “step change” in terms of usability and features. The new system enables new functions, such as ambient lighting and sounds that adjust depending on the drive mode.

It’s expected to showcase Hyundai’s powerful new Pleos software and infotainment system. As an end-to-end software platform, Pleos connects everything from the infotainment system (Pleos Connect) to the Vehicle Operating System (OS) and the cloud.

Pleos is set to power Hyundai’s upcoming software-defined vehicles (SDVs) with new features like autonomous driving and real-time data analysis.

As an Android-based system, Pleos Connect features a “smartphone-like UI” with new functions including multi-window viewing and an AI voice assistant.

The new electric crossover is expected to start at around €30,000 ($35,400), or slightly less than the Kia EV3, priced from €35,990 ($42,500). It will sit between the Inster and Kona Electric in Hyundai’s lineup.

Hyundai said that it would launch the first EV with its next-gen infotainment system in Q2 2026. Will it be the IONIQ 2? Hyundai is expected to unveil the new entry-level EV at IAA Mobility in September. Stay tuned for more info. We’ll keep you updated with the latest.
